Ur-Milliversary

Nine years ago, I saw a drunk!post on my LJ flist about an RPG. There was a corresponding sober!post of 'I can't quite believe I made that, but come join?' I thought it would be a fun way to pass the summer before I started college, apped a couple characters, and idly wondered what would become of the game when the bulk of us started school in the fall.

It's still here. I'm still here. and I've loved every minute of it.

I think I started about a week after the game did.

I did not think I'd still be here 9 years later.

I originally started in August of the first year.

... I didn't realize the game would both change and save my life. Thanks, Milliways.

I agree with this comment. So much.

Sheesh. I never had a clue when I joined up in... I dunno, October of 2004?... that this place would still be around. Thank you, all you beautiful people who play here.

We need a "Now in its 10th year" logo as well.

Some of us talked about having a week where we had to RP like it was 2004.

Real time!

Oh yes, everybody EPing all the time just to establish their charries were there that evening! Breakfast posts! Set loose a vat of lobsters and watch them crawl through all the EPs/threads that day! Lister curry!

LISTER CURRY

Curry what curry? Which in view of the recent canon will evolve into a rather posh kudal as shown on the blog of the show's food stylist.

We are still lacking a crucial ingredient. Unless there's still some left, hidden in the furthest reaches of the freezer?

It'd be the freezer in Florence, alas. Such a waste.

Florence, however, is not out of the world. Or rather, it's out in a world that can be reached. I am now imagining Teja, Yrael and Hannibal, in a ratty old Fiat 500, driving from Vinci to Florence in the night and then break into Palzzo Capponi to see if they can find a freezer somewhere in the basement...

Teja of course would have to remain in the dark about what they are actually looking for.

Pork. It's totally pork. And in conclusion, pork. >____>

So, the question is, how to sell to a dead Ostrogoth that they need to break into a renaissance palazzo in order to rescue some pork from a freezer in a hidden corner in the basement?

8 years ago as of June 23rd, I met two wonderful milli-muns at a Browncoat screening of Serenity here in Cbus. Hilarity ensued as I adopted Wat from A Knight's Tale.
