As i sit here at work bored to tears because for some reason, there's never anything to do on Friday, i decided to peruse opnpw's older posts. Man it just got me feeling really nostalgiac. I came to the realization that we have a truly powerful family here. It's not just a group, it really is a family. For the regulars, we've all developed characteristics, we can predict what someone will post because we all actually know each other that well. We've all had arguments, conflicts, and with every resolution the fabric is knit thicker. I hate the fact that very rarely do people join, and more often i see people leave...but for the people that are still here, i guess this is a thank you...or something. Perhaps it's nothing at all, just a mere observation...but i see how all the people who were here first are also the ones that are still here. The ones that give so much input to the community. I see acid trees remarkable DM skills, Saber's ingenuity, Muddy's twinkies, Keanya's dis(and re)appearances, have all become understood things. I could go on with the rest of you, but I'm too lazy....Ah hell, i ain't got shit to do at work. Pheenyx's playful bantering, Mark's self-made cigarettes, and semi-nude avatars :-P, Alica's roleplaying, Striker's pure-bad-ass-ery, Clay's....Clay is just clay, Death1Wolf...let's say he's that uncle that always borrowed money, and nobody liked. Good thing the loansharks finally came after him :-P Anouri, well, i don't know about everyone else, but i liked her, she had spunk! Karlth, he's especially different for me, being that he's one of my best friends in real life too, but you guys all know him as the jackass dimitrius, asshole karlth, crude jahir, in fact...he doesn't play nice characters, Lubby for defying me in the pirate vs. ninja fiasco, Archdevil for being such a great asset to the community as a whole, Dunlop, you fat tire, Morro for FURPS, and if you look at all his posts, every other one is "Wednesday? I can make it" "Yeah, i can make it" "monday is good for me" two things, either he's a loser, or he loves us...I'll take it either way, Darklook is cool, and I'm gonna stop before i start repeating people...And if i didn't write you in don't feel bad, i just happened to finally find work to do.
Talk to you later everyone!

Oh yeah, Tux is cool too :-)

Twinkies? Are you calling me fat?

i think just about every DM here had a Muddy-experience...one where you pull some kind of, dimensional door loophole item as a level 2 fighter, kind of thing.

It's quite alright, it makes for funny stories, and i think you've gotten better now

hmph. i didn't get specifics. "a great asset as a whole".. which, isn't exactly fitting either.. i just play. i'm not really a rules monger either, so i can't realy help people out

But yeah a little nostalgia is good from time to time. I for one like to look back on our time here. And yes we do come to know and expect from those of us oldtimes. :roll:

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Only people with more post than Solace warrant a mentioning. And Kea too...

I am not sure that [i]every[/i] DM has suffered at the hands of one of my powergamed character. The funny thing is I never intend to make a ripped character, I am just always in doubt of my characters abilities. I either make too powerful of characters, or completely useless characters. So when I finally finish making one I feel they are capable of keeping up with the rest of the party. Then all of a sudden the DM says "Quick! Goblins are attacking!" followed by me "Wow that was a fun fight, right guys? Guys? What? You haven't even finished rolling your initiatives yet?"

In other news, I don't play hack and slash DnD anymore, now I play to roleplay.

I was actually gonna go down the whole memberlist, cuz i have very little to do at work once in a while, on the bright side however, someone actually came up with something for me to do, so i went back to work :-P

Tomorrow i'll do some more, although mondays usually = lots of work

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

I'm hurt I wasn't even mentioned, and then no one even pointed out I wasn't mentioned. This whole thing is just one giant disaster.

Mikkl "OMG IT GOES UP!??!?"

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

I'm gonna be honest.....I don't really know you Xareth, aside from the fact that i see your posts sometimes, i've never talked directly to you or anything
sorry! :-/

-Avi

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Don't be. There's a reason you've never talked to me or even ever really seen me. It's because I.. well, wasn't here. :D

Mikkl "OMG IT GOES UP!??!?"

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

since you posted so soon after your other post, is that an indication that you will be frequenting this forum? Cuz i'll make something up and put it in the post if it'll get you to stay :-D

-Avi

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Nah. I'll visit for a day or two and then not appear for another year and a half. It's my style. It leaves people wanting more. Or just not knowing who the hell I am.

Mikkl "OMG IT GOES UP!??!?"

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

What Xareth means is, the people who don't know him will be left wanting more. Those of us that do know him are glad for his brief to not so brief hiatus.

On another note, Xareth did post in this thread, so whether he sticks around for a while or not something should indeed be made up about him. But only because I feel bad for just picking on him.

Ow, muddy. Ow.
I think I knew people from the old D&DO better than when after everything got switched around. So, are Striker or Mikkl or Morro still alive? I've not seen them on AIM in quite some time. Clay IMed me randomly awhile ago, but I was out. I see Acid on AIM every now and then, but we don't ever really talk.

Edit: And to be a killjoy, Anouri was a compulsive liar and liked to run around talking trash about people she was calling friend five seconds ago. I can say I know this to be true because it happened to myself and other friends repeatedly. We (being my friends and I who knew her before she ever came to these forums) actually composed a list once of things she told us, and found almost everything conflicted, and apparently none of what she told us was true, according to someone who knew her better than us. Just thought you should know. :D

Edit number TWO!: I talked to Kaku awhile back (read: awhile means long enough) and he sent me what the 'invitation' to join the army looked like. I think I still have it somewhere.

Mikkl "OMG IT GOES UP!??!?"

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Sorry Xareth, I was just releasing costumer-service aggression.

I agree about Anouri. Maybe she did have friends, but from what I experienced she just liked fucking with people. I harbor no ill emotion towards her though, she just didn't like people is all. Or maybe she did, I don't know. But still, just to feed my curiosity. Does anybody know her current status?

On another note, Mikkl is still around. I chatted with him for a while on AIM a few days ago. And even made a nice little thread for him to post in. Which he did.

i'm on the outside looking in...... lol, i've been feeling the nostalgia for over a year now.

i've missed you too solace, i remember you quite well xareth, and yeah, karlth was an asshole, but quite a kindred spirit if i do say so myself. and dunlop was one fat tire. whatever happened to eqmopower/Eddy(andrew?)

well. i've been gone a long time, i shall have to make more frequent, yet still random appearances.

(anybody seen striker? i've not been on enough lately)

i burn shit. get over it ) [2250] claymored2 i couldn't sully your name [2250] Fish Thatmoos meh sup ya'll Solace Clay just pulled this TOTALLY Hollywood move and saved my ass!

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Haha ya bastard, how are ya. Sorry I missed you the other day on AIM, I tend to.. not be there a lot and not put up away messages when I'm not there. Take care of yourself overseas

Edit: If anyone talk to Striker, tell him I only got a 4 on my AP Lit exam, instead of a 5. It should make him happy.

Mikkl "OMG IT GOES UP!??!?"

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

bahahahahhahaha, i'm glad you asked about eqmopower. After his main character died, Greven, he kind of stopped hanging out with us
:-P
He was nearly in tears. It's okay, he kinda deserved it. He really deserved it. Okay, i don't feel regret at all, in fact i'm glad i did it. we were all glad...ANYWAYS
He comes by my house once in a while and we go to parties, unfortunately he dropped out of my latest D&D campaign i run with karlth, dunlop, and a couple others that don't go on opnpw. (in person...obviously). Me and Karlth spent countless days/nights working on a new system we created based on roleplaying, rather than statistics. I guess EQM/Andrew just preferred to keep it in statistics, so he had restrictions he could keep track of. He didn't like the idea that if well worded, well thought out, and very carefully planned you could score a coup on a first hit in a fight. But that's the truth, if you're not expected a fight, there's a much higher possibility somebody can walk by and just happen to catch yuor blindspot and get a knife in yuor neck. Done, son. heehee, anyways....

I'm glad you're posting again! :-D

EDIT:

And i have no idea what happened to striker, grim disappeared, Mikkl i think comes online ONCE in a while (while=year). unfortunately i can't get in touch with any of them :( it fucking blows, they were some of the coolest guys here.

-Avi

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

*sniffs*

And me being mentioned...? Ah well, I didn't expect to be. I kinda disappeared on ya guys for a while. I was there, and a regular, for quite some time before the major issues I started to have after moving to VA.

But I'm back. For better or worse! Fear me!

... wait. There's isn't much to fear about me :( ah well.

[quote]Edit number TWO!: I talked to Kaku awhile back (read: awhile means long enough) and he sent me what the 'invitation' to join the army looked like. I think I still have it somewhere.[/quote]
As a matter of fact, you can usually[color=red]*[/color] catch me online every 2nd weekend from Thursday to Sunday, because that's when I get back home from the base. (10 days in the base, 3 at home)

That invitation was actually for the ceremony of my course, after we finished it.

I really wish I could play RPGs nowadays but I don't have time for it (never thought I'd say that...). I tried getting a group together in the base but people are afraid of things like that in an army-environment, even if they used to play before they enlisted.

Anyway, I think I played on D&DO at age 13, that means 6 years ago...
I don't really remember any of your personalities by now, so I can't comment. The only thing I can actually remember is being a good friend of Striker and Caleb (whom I bet non of you remember).

[color=red]*[/color]Usually = not in times of war (e.g right now).

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

OH MY GOD!

I mean, Hello Kaku. It has been a very long time since I've chatted with you. If you don't remember much about me.. thats probably good. I used to be, to put it lightly, annoying. Really thought I was just venting all of my frustration from being picked on at school. I've replaced my habbit of being annoying with digression, as might pick up on.

Where you at / what you in? I have a friend who enlisted. Went through basic training for U.S. Cavalry, now he is in Airborn training for 3 weeks, and directly after that they are offering him Ranger training. Fecking impressive. That man will be king one day!

At any rate, good to see you are still breathing, or more importantly, typing.

KAKU! do you remember me?
I remember striker and caleb, i started playing with the group on dndo when i was 14ish, and we're all around the same age, so that would be 5 years ago for me. i don't know where striker's disappeared off to, and i don't think caleb ever came to opnpw. [i]Most[/i] of the group i played with, or at least talked to came here eventually.

You should come on once every two weeks when you're on vacations and throw in a post here and there, maybe striker will came a random re-appearance too! and who knows....grimmah?

-Avi

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Muddy, no need to open up before me now :P And yes, I do remember you.

Currently, I'm in the IDF (Israeli Defence Force), I have been for a year now. Army service is mandatory in Israel - 3 years for men and 2 years for women. I can generally say that I'm in the Intelligence but not much else... maybe it would be best if those of you who are interested read [url=http://raven.xepher.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1329]this[/url].

Hmm what else is worth mentioning? I've a girlfriend, we've been together for a year and some 3 months or so.

I -could- post something every 2 weeks but honestly, whenever I get back home and take a look at my desktop I am surprised to find various icons on it... re-remembering putting them there. Then I start realizing what I had been doing last time I was home. It's kind of like having 2 different lives, so I doubt I'll remember the forum in a week or so...

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

I have a couple of friends in armed forces, i see the same symptoms in them too....I know what it is
it's D&D withdrawl :-P
you should make this your homepage then, so you never forget! :-D

EDIT:
Wow, i just read that entire IDF thing. just, wow.

I hope i see you on here some more Kaku, and definitely a lot more after this IDF time period is over..

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Heh. Well, you guys got me (again), like it or not.

I'll be there. Have had some good times, and in fact have more than one NPC in a game I'm DM'ing now that is based off of games that I had on OPnP, which were some of the best games.

[quote="Solace"]fuck that, i am a pretty princess and none of you jerks can tell me otherwise[/quote]

the moment opnpw is up again
Karlth is DM'ing a game for the old timers
so far, we've got two players
Me, and Grim
yes, you heard me
Grim
:-D
it's more or less invite only, but oh man, GRIM!
i'm gonna go pester him now to post on the forums

-Avi

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

who's grim?

"Zey goggles! Zey do nutzing!" - Saber, as Arnie

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

Arch i can't tell if you're being sarcastic on the forums or not....
so....are you serious? I'll assume you are, since there's no smirk or anything in the post...in that case, Grim is quite possibly the best roleplayer i've ever had the pleasure of playing with, but has recently gone AWOL. He was a pretty decent part of the community a long time ago, especially on the old forum. He made a name here and made something like 30 posts, but then disappeared. Neither Karlth nor I, Clay, or Striker could find him. Striker too has left, now AWOL cuz we know where he went, but i stumbled upon Grim again recently. And he's fiendin for a game :-D

-Avi

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

i don't think i ever recall grim. even on dndo.

i feel like i might have an idea, and i really hope it's not who i'm thinking, cause if it is, he was a stuck up dick.

"Zey goggles! Zey do nutzing!" - Saber, as Arnie

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

it couldn't be, because ever since i remember he's been one of the most courteous guys i know. He was on dndo, that's how i met him. He didn't go on much to chat, mostly for games. I think he almost got Mod status here too, but Striker got it instead. it used to be me, karlth, dunlop, striker, grim, and acid_trees playing on and off a lot with eachother, switching off DM'ing. Striker was great at everything, dunlop was the goofiest kid on earth, Karlth was amazing at being aloof, grim was the best RP'er ever, and Ardan (Acid trees) is still the best DM for D&D style games (Tux for MRPG :-P). It was through Karlth that i found DnDO, and through DnDO that i met almost everyone here, except for a couple.

-Avi

the Nostalgiac soft icky side

I believe the stuck up dick was Dak
