I'm from a time HQ crew forums were actually seen and active...

I remember playing from school with peeps who'd race for 1 or 2 IAs and thought they had a cannon, then having to check the graveyard page just to find out if someone stealth had shot at you =-D

cos stealth was da shiz back then, none of this pointless WS to everyone because you can't actually be stealthy and silently kill someone alone in their home any mores *la sigh*

also, not sure if it was already mentioned, but the rogueishness of everything, as a rogue actually stood a chance of making an impact with a 4 hour protection timer that didn't drop as soon as they shot. (was apparently changed right in the middle of a rogue encounter without any public notification which resulted in shaddy fuckerish business and accusations to come out about the players and coders involved)

also remember -mrevilman fucking shit up too. being both untouchable and pewing every big player in the game, ellis, soultaker n such. when CL's only lived because people liked them enough to see them alive. rather than it being a case of not enough pews on yer gun to hit through the BGs keeping ya alive ^^

oh and bubba humpin' ya face in prison! =D

I remember when Godfather didnt exist, I remember a time when LV, LA wasnt even a place. I wanna' say there was not a Philly when I first started.

Reading what Iris wrote originally brought me back to when I first started. Loved it back when it was still .org as well, more difficult and personal. I remember everything on that list, good memories. Was great seeing when someone originally, finally did get godfather anyone trying to take him down. Many more wars then. Too bad there aren't a couple versions, like the original game and then still this one obviously with its steady updates.

Ha! someone remembering and mentioning mrevilman. That was a show in itselft. Put a 50million hit on himself because he knew no one could touch him. Much harder to make that kind of money too lol

There's been a few regimes that were slightly different. However, I've been around since the switch from .org to mafiareturns came up.

The problem with regimes always became that certain people were more targeted than others. Often they were people talented enough to take them out. Though bloodline hunting became the norm for keeping that from occurring. That led to people turning on friends at times making more drama. All of that kept the game interesting, but at the same time people held onto the past. Hell, I've been back a week and the stigma my name once carried still has a bad taste in some mouths. No matter how long you leave your past can follow you unfortunately. Even if you meant well.

1041 was the UN tag as Iris has stated, long before CP existed as I remember it being present on .org.

CP was founded at 2:42AM one evening and as at that time the UN were in charge and popularised 1041 as a tag, it seemed logical for us to fly our 242 flag. I didn't actually realise until a few days later that people took it as a direct contradiction to the UN's 1041, so that was just a happy coincidence. As for the tyrannical intentions etc. I think that is just a matter of personal opinion on whether you actively schemed against us or you didn't.

And, although all the CP players were originally on .org, we didn't all come together (and stop killing Tallien) until MR.
