Hello friends. My name is The-Mick, or just Mick for short. Or Justin if you're feeling personal. I've been around this place for a good few years now, off and on of course. I've gone by several different names during my time here, and this is just my most recent reincarnation. Now, I'm posting this because I think some of you might be able to help me.
When I first joined this game, it was between 2013-2015 or so. I remember it was shortly after the 303 regime began to rise to power. As a new player, that was my first experience. I got to see a war within my first few weeks, I got to see the drama unfold of that first hand. Now, many of you have been here longer than that and now they weren't the first super group and probably won't be the last one, but for me I wasn't sure what to make of it. I didn't know if this was normal, I didn't know if this happened all the time, and frankly I was afraid. I loved the game, and I still do. I love the people, I love the atmosphere, everything. However, back then I was on the verge of quitting because at the time it all seemed like too much.
The new people of this game don't really have a history to look at. Sure there are street threads scattered around that tell the story of what has happened over the years, but what if they could have it all in one place? What if they could go to one place and find out how this life of ours all started? Scipita, the 303, Disorder. The world that we have created here is a magnificent one with a very rich history that I think is important for both old and new players to get to live through. Give them a glimpse at exactly what they are getting into, and what roads led us to this point.
I am going to be making a somewhat journalistic street thread to host all of this information. Think of a documentary or biography of this place, spread into parts. Each discussing and going over a certain time period of this world. I need your help though. I am looking for volunteers to help me. I want as many first person accounts as I can possibly get. Whether or not you joined recently, whether you've been around for years upon years, you have a voice that could be heard. We can get witness accounts and perhaps the people who were actually involved in these wars and changings of the game.
No bias, just two sides of a story. Getting the entire picture laid out for everyone. If you need anonymity, I can ensure that. Maybe you have a previous life you are ashamed of and don't want people knowing who you were? That's fine. The important thing is the truth to both sides.
I know this is going to be quite a venture, and it won't be easy but I relish in the challenge. Please, do reply if you are interested. |

I don't think all those names you listed are in the same league tbh. Some people actually fought wars against people for power, not just survived long enough to be top dog :^)
I like the idea, but I think it may be in vain. You won't get a lot of information about certain topics or subjects, some are just very secretive or rather, just ..unneeded to tell. A lot of era's in this game were good though and are worth telling, if you could find a good teller, one who has information and properly knows what their talking about.
best of luck guy! |

Nor did I specify that they were. They are just in different eras of this. The goal is to cover just about everything. It's not about ratting people out, it's about history. I understand the secrecy that some people hold on certain subjects, and that is of course their right. I just hope that they might open up about it if they know their identity in regards to it will stay confidential. They don't even need to tell me their names. Just perhaps a role in said history.
Also, I hope to find more than just one good teller. Each story has different branches of it. From the big players to the small people to the people not involved. Everyone has a different view. Those views are important.
I thank you for your best wishes in this endeavor. |

It's not lazy, and I'm not ignorant enough to accept that as all of the truth. |

Search for Ganelon, IzzyCreamCheese/CreamCheese, SamTheAmericanEagle, BaronGreenBack Then for Conceptulists. Speak to Jono, get some history there (currently PoisonousJelly). Talk to Premeir - he's old school. LarryLongNeck - he'll help you. Is Bismarck still about? What about BillyBathTub? Deimne? FlyingPig? Scipita doesn't often come around these parts, but pose questions and I could get them to her. Talk to Bunny, she's been around a lot. Tiggy, too. |

| Hmmm some of the aforementioned was from an entirely different site, not to be confused with this one. Conceptulists, Priesthood, ASDA, Henson Hitters, MysteryMen, Thud, TSCOSP. It's all a lifetime ago. | |

| Is there anyone around from the old 2.5 or earlier days? I used to pay years ago, I was around for the Valentines Day massacre which change the dynamic of the game and actually gave us some Godfathers. It would be nice to play with some of those people again. The big k I played with a lot of them years ago. | |

Cav, I doubt very much that V omitting "Iron Fist" from his list was intentional. They just weren't all that memorable, impactful, or relevant. They weren't a decade ago, and certainly are not now. Certainly easy for one to forget and let slip their mind. Especially someone like V, who is getting up there in years and seems to even have trouble recalling which football team he supports at this point. |

I don't know that I would truly call anyone irrelevant. If you have been around and you have seen the world through different eyes than another, I think it makes you important. |
