I don't remember what happened to Shorlen. Hmm.

I do remember what happened to Ialie though. Visaeris had some lame-arse excuse (as usual).

I remember hunting with Shamarah too, that was awesome. *misses those days*

And also I remember being locked with rigor mortis (after getting the last shot on Mordechai, Visaeris and some other dude with hailstorm along with Shamarah), and totally panicking in southgard because I didn't know the cure. I think in the end I rolled around randomly until I found a group of Celestines, one of whom had healing and fixed me up. biggrin.gif I think it was either Dumihru or Eldanien.

I remember hunting Glomdoring with Lyren.

I remember being made a secretary and breaking down and quitting the next RL because I didn't think I could do it. ( sad.gif )

I remember the day that Estarra decided that the Faethorn wasn't quite insane like she'd pictured it, so I decided to hell with it and went nutty and whipped the laws of physic back into their hidey hole. Honestly the result wasn't half bad.

I remember walking around Celest and waiting for a teacher forever, so I quit for a while. When I came back the first thing that happened was Shiro saying he would marry me. blink.gif I remember dancing around in Fain's fulcrux and not dying.

then the one time Joli asked Geb what crawled up his censor.gif and died.. I still feel bad about that. sad.gif

Hehe, I've been glad to see Geb loosen up a bit. And I've gotten better at keeping Rhysus from hearing what I say. happy.gif

Hrm.. My earliest memory is being level 40ish on day 1 and kiting goats on Astral..

Oh and working with Rexali to drain power into Mag.. We'd land, link as much as we could, then fly and wait for the goats to go away because they were omg scary.. One of them I could kill but the sphere would fill up fast and they roamed oh god nightmares

I have dozens of memories from the beginning, bolstered by a lot of amusing messages.
Shiri2005-09-14 02:00:47
Oh oh and I remember feeling special because someone let me rewrite the Aquamancer novice requirements and put them on another flamed preserved letter. (The first one disappeared for some reason.)

I remember when Joli had her first fiancee.

The Delportians beat the crap out of me the only time I tried, which turned out to be lucky because being enemied to villages is a pain. I thought Delport was the Lusternian equivalent to Tasur'ke tongue.gif
Kaileigh2005-09-14 02:13:18
I wasn't enemied ot Deleport though Just Magnagora.. Not that I mind.

I distinctly remember, after getting a few credits, that I needed to run around Astral getting power. As a level 7 trill, that meant a lot of dying and re-transversing.

Stupidest thing I ever did, that. Celest never appreciated us early astral entrepreneurs.

I remember the Aquamancer meetings where I'd try to do something and Althana would be like "NO! WE CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL OUR ABSENT GM IS HERE EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT HIS JOB AND IM THE GA!!" tongue.gif

I remember I was in newton and this guy decided to jump me because I "killed his fink" so I shielded and he left. Later on I saw him back in newton and figured I'd catch him off guard. Thinking I was smart I decided I'd try to enfeeble him to the point where he couldnt fight back or move since I guessed like most newbies at the time he didnt have mending (enfeeble lowers str by one point but at the time I thought it shrivelled a limb). So I sat there enfeebling him and it did nothing, needless to say I promptly died to that totem thing serenwilde newbies have to bash with. Twas embarassing to say the least.

*sniff* No one hunted with me when I was a newbie... well, I remember going to Astral and then saying Hi to Visaeris (I was a Nihilist that time). Then I created a few alts, yadda yadda, one of them was killed by Visaeris on Astral twice (I also remember it was on the day of his engagement), and that character was also being moved on rather quickly by a Celestine sec so I paniced and suicided later on. Too bad, I could've done a lot with that one =/ Fun fun, those early days remind me of black leather and champagne for some reason.

I remember being an undersec before the guilds had their leadership appointed by the gods. There was a meeting we had and tried to figure out what to do with the guild, and someone got Lacostian to attend it. Was my first time ever interacting with a god.

There was also when the quest to raise the Star of Celest was opened up. Took us a while to figure out what exactly we were suppoused to do, but as soon as we had it, we we getting the becons lit in rapid succession.

Ah, memories.

Closed beta: Calcesco gave me a hamster pet that could teach any skill, I was hopelessly lost without maps, I hoarded thousands of comms and buried them in the hopes they wouldn't reset in open beta (I heard Roark had to manually delete them later tongue.gif), I bankrupted Serenwilde's ministry of trade, I was buddy-buddy with Nikua, Visaeris was madly trying to figure out the ebonglom wyrm quest.

Open beta: Pushing around newbies, dying to newbies with cosmicfire, being in the serenguard, somewhat hitting it off with Allysandra, thinking tae'daes were badass, whipping up some roleplay, and having newton be overcrowded.

Oh, so THAT'S why Lisaera was so grabby in getting me to be Minister of Trade. tongue.gif
Shiri2005-09-14 02:41:44
Ooh, I remember lighting the Star too, and being first on that list of names. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Speaking of first elections, Nementh and I had a crappy plan to take over the Serenwilde by getting people to elect him Marshall. In the end I didn't do any of the stuff I was supposed to and he ended up with 4 votes.

Still, we would have done a better job than Nikua. *Shudder*

You were all so close to me being Marshall smile.gif I lost by 2 votes (Nikua:20 Me: 18) and only because Gwynn voted for Nikua, not me.

Gwynn being one of my oldest buddies, he was not spoken to for a long time.

And being a moondancer during closed beta, then getting tired of all the public posts about how we should treat the cities, then left.

I remember being a dumb nihilist who spent most of the necromentate quest being portal targets for people hunting spectres...

I remember so many things.

I remember Auseklis appointing me and Elessar as the first Moondancer undersecs (among a few others) and then secretaries when He realised that wasn't gonna get people inguilded.

I remember Lisaera sending me a tell asking about becoming the Moondancer Matron, and gathering the guild around to support Her and welcome Her, and Mother Moon and Estarra came down to witness it smile.gif

I remember being in the first page of explorers, as an Ethereal Wanderer. I liked it so much, cause I wanted to join Lisaera's Order, that I wore the title around.

I remember messaging Lisaera about Her Order. And for some reason being certain She wouldn't like me to message Her again about it, so waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Till everyone else I knew was in, and I wasn't. sad.gif

But that led me to Auseklis' Order, where I'm pretty happy. So it turned out for the best eventually.

I remember the first GA of the Hartstone becoming a shrub right after I joined, and Flow being contested for being inactive for several weeks without a word to anyone but our now-a-shrub GA.

Terribly helpful dry.gif

I remember... being enemied to Magnagora, because they thought I was buying all their comms out. Now I can do it openly, and nobody cares laugh.gif

I remember Auseklis being active crying.gif

I remember a lot of things, and I have logs to support most of them!
