Title: Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!
Post by: Furious George on April 01, 2008, 12:47:02 PM
This may or may not end up going anywhere, but just because it's fun...let's put together an All-Star team of pcs (over 1 1/2-2 years removed) for various clans/militias/legions/etc. 
Each Team needs:
1.  An Ultimate Leader
2.  Their Second in Command
3.  The Driving Money Earner
4.  The Ultimate Scheming Bastard/Bitch
5.  The Destroyer
6.  The Sneak
7.  The Spy
8.  The Hero
9.  The Surprise (this is someone who came from nowhere to do great things)
10.  The Honorable Mention


FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Northern Nobles, Militia & Templarate
Southern Nobles, Militia & Templarate
House Kadius
House Kurac
House Salarr
The Byn
The Rinth (non elf)
The Inependant Goon Squad
Desert Elves
City Elves
The Muark
Other



...this has the chance to be either a very interesting retrospective on various clans, or an embarassing and shameful waste of time.  :)
ENJOY

The first two were probably right before my time... Graven wasn't though.  But... I think I'm correct in whom I put in those spots.  Especially for who was around when I was there.

It was so hard to pick just one for any of these positions. As you read off these names, please do so aloud, and pause to make explosion noises with your mouth between each name. Such is the awesomeness of each of the players listed.

1. SARGAX
2. DOMHALON
3. DANU
4. ZALOT
5. GRAVEN
6. SARAH

What?

No Akasha?

NO SUJAAL?!?!

There's other characters too who's names I can't remember (but could find out if I dug through my logs).  That list is a bit on the modern side.   ;)
Title: Re: Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!

Not the same crew.

I did it by crew not by singles.

I'd do a winrothol too, but I cannot remember everybody...grumbles.

Krath, you got the list from that crew?

I should work up one for Tor...that would have a lot of OLD names.

No, its an all star team...I'd put them up against any team you could pick and choose from Byn past. And easily the most fun Byn crew I've had the privilage to play with.

Any Byn list without Sujaal is committing some sort of crime.

Fraud, perhaps.
Title: Re: Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!
Post by: X-D on April 08, 2008, 01:09:34 PM
I don't agree. Nothing against Sujaal, but it was a sponsered Role.  If he would have worked his way from runner to LT and beyond, he would be on the list probly. But he started as LT...Meh..when you are handed that many advantages to start....No, if I was going to mention Sujaal in an allstar list it would be in one of the northern lists. I don't think he was a good bynner, I do think he was a great northern patriot.

Not that it matters as far as "the list" goes, but this is 100% false.

As the player of Sujaal, I can assure you that he began as a brand new warrior character with no special skills or favors other than what he earned on level ground with anyone else.  He began at the rank of Runner like everyone else.  He worked his way up to Sergeant like everyone else.  And he eventually earned the rank of Lieutennant after almost a RL year within the Byn.  He served the Byn for 30 IC years and was directly responsible for the northern T'zai-Byn compound being constructed.

You're certainly entitled to think he was a chump, but please don't spread misinformation.

Title: Re: Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!
Post by: Conspiracy Theory on April 08, 2008, 05:49:01 PM
I was going to say, X-D, that I believe one of my first characters served under Sujaal when he was a Sergeant, so that is obviously false and I'm not sure where you'd come up with that. In fact, I'm not sure where you get any of your information and all of your vast "combat experiance", but most of it seems flawed to me, based on your postings since I've been playing.

Yup, I was gonna say that but LoD obviously beat me to the punch.
Title: Re: Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!
Post by: X-D on April 08, 2008, 06:01:58 PM
Shrug, Never said he got any special skills and such,.
And though I had PCs in the Byn at the time, its possible I mis-remember who worked up and who was sponsered...My bad. It has been a while after all.

Though, I still did not like Sujaal as a bynner...just never seemed like one to me.

Like I said, I feel he came into his own after the byn and in the north.


And BTW, I never said in any way that I thought he was a chump.

Defend your PC if you want, but defend on shit I actually say..not what you assume from being butthurt on the deal.

Title: Re: Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!
Post by: FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWit on April 09, 2008, 02:55:44 AM
LoD speaks the truth. I remember playing under Sujaal when he was just a Sergeant. Practically all I remember him as. He was a very serious Sergeant, and seemed proud to be a Bynner. I remember him sitting my n00b warrior down, trying to convince him to stay in the Byn. It worked; he never joined Borsail, and ended up staying with the Byn for life. Sujaal also publically defended the Byn a few times... if somebody bad-mouthed Bynners within earshot of Sujaal, he'd be sure to give 'em an earful. Sujaal was a Bynner through and through, even if he did eventually get coverted into a damn bunny-hugging Tuluki.
I'm surprised Akasha wasn't mentioned in any Byn list. She seemed very popular at the time... made it all the way to LT. If she didn't make it, then I guess a case can't be made for the character I played, Kinneus. Virtually unknown, but he was Akasha's right-hand man, and practically taught her how to emote.
Templar Shome should also be made an honorary Bynner. She lead more Bynners off cliffs than every Sergeant I've ever known combined!
Also, I fully support Shatuka and Pendeh for any Kurac lists.
The Plainsman gets the award for "Best Sorcerer EVAR".
That is all.
Title: Re: Battle Royale! All Star Armageddon!!!
Post by: Mr.B on April 09, 2008, 02:59:54 AM
I think the fact remains that Sujaal was bar none a fixture of the Byn and one of the most memorable characters in the Byn of all time. To leave him out of an all-stars pick is like picking an Arm o' the Dragon team without Ihsahn Kasix. (hint hint) Akasha should have also been in a Byn list somewhere or other, she was another really good one.

Post by: Kronibas on April 09, 2008, 07:33:44 AM
Berlian Lutalo definitely rates a spot in the top ten of the Byn.  In my book he's right up there alongside Kroz and Kazyn.. yet they pale to Sujaal.

I'm in agreement with the notion that a single player could fill the ultimate leader category with a few of his characters.  You know who you are.

As far as Kurac goes, the yellow mul, Davaz, and naturally Sargax deserve a spot up there in the upper crust.  Seriously, dudes.

Vedelarin and Pearl take the pick for the top two in House Borsail, hands down.  They left a helluva fierce impact on the game.

Independent goon squad.  Hmm.  There's a lot of them, but I have to name Durg as my pick here.  Because he was dwarven, independent, and ran shit.

The problem with this is that few single players have enough perspective (time in a single clan) to make a comprehensive list.  You end up with lists that are, instead, just the crew that one particular person had fun playing with.

Also... how is one to judge which leader was the best?  Or who was the best sneak?  Or spy?  Or how are sneak and spy even different?  Do these things go by clan rank achieved?  Playtime?  Body count?

Sorry, it's just too problematic and/or controversial, so I'm not really going to bother.

Kishime was one of my all-time favorites. 

I had a habit of calling him "Turtle" when I had my Atrium PC.  Never to his face or IC.  It was just the first thing that popped into my head when I saw his sdesc.


What's really funny is that #7 even exists as an option on the list.  You would think that if they were a successful spy they'd never be put on the list!

Tuluk Spring-Summer 2006

Golden Summer. Summer 2006 was the best I've ever seen Tuluk, ever. In fact, Summer 2006 in Tuluk may be the most fun I've had in this game, period. Well, aside from my current.

Big kudos to not only the players of the time, but specifically to Halaster, who I think was responsible for a lot of my character's unlucky escapades.

The Tuluk list is impossible at the moment, as one of the characters (Ahem, a noble), is currently unstored and ready to play, but the player is unable to commit enough time (Cough cough used to be Tenneshi).

Seriously though.

The House Kurac

1. An Ultimate Leader
Sargax
2. Their Second in Command
Zalot
3. The Driving Money Earner
Danu
4. The Ultimate Scheming Bastard/Bitch
Sargax
5. The Destroyer
Davaz and/or Pendeh
6. The Sneak
Adlok
7. The Spy
Alkyone
8. The Hero
Barvel
9. The Surprise (this is someone who came from nowhere to do great things)
Halfear
10. The Honorable Mention
Zirq



As an aside:
AOD needs some oldschool mention like Garrick or Htanyal, two guys who set the template for the corrupt, angry scheming bastards you'd fear, southerners need to include folks like Lawrence Oash.  Over who knows how long some of the names become lost in memory and the characters that were innovative and inventive become a standard with the mud cruising into so many years.  Every couple years some super hero sort like Thrain shows up, or some uber baddie like Vis...in new forms, with their new schemes and ideas, but building off the beautiful archtypes that made this game great in the old days and continue that tradition on.

When I say Kithian was the best scheming bastard I ever saw, if you knew him you know there's some truth to it.  Or perhaps the fact that someone like Mordaga could keep folks out of the Tablelands simply by fear of the name itself, this is the awesome.  Generations come and go in the game, Mordaga gives way to Chrol, and whispers of short descriptions make their way into taverns and drunken conversation at APMs. 

Old school merchants before crafting made making money easier like Khann, building an empire off of two kanks and barter.  The oral tradition and training regimen of the Kuraci Outriders.  The consistency and long life of -several- Kadian pcs who help keep that House running and interesting.  (I'll admit it took me nearly a decade to get someone in there). 

I've lost touch with many, many old friends over the time since I started playing but have seen the game evolve and change, some for the better, a little for the worse, but it flourishes and continues and is a brilliant little nook in the internet.

If I had the ability to give kudos to everyone I've ever interacted with who I felt made me a better player or more creative mind, I would do so.





For the roleplayers:

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition

It's very difficult to choose roles for clans that have had characters consistently populating them for over 10 RL years.  I haven't seen any Kurac lists with people like Morcash (the well-fed half elf), but it was his assassination at a Great Merchant House meeting called by the southern templarate that created the foundations for years of gameplay to come.  They also don't include Neithan/Daedheldin, who was the original argosy-driving, steel-wielding Kuraci assassin that was the bane of many-a-character.

He happened to be the character that stole my dwarven spice runner's wagon and drove it into the gulch between Luir's and Allanak, where it has remained a fixture for many, many years.

I haven't seen any Guild lists that include its first leader (Arendor/Severin) or one of its first enforcers (Rals).  Nor have I seen lists mention characters that greatly engaged many of its denizens in the earlier days such as Dar and Goldy.

I haven't seen Kadian lists include Medichi, who was probably the single most responsible PC for Kadian survival and success in the northlands and for whom Radoon was an employee.  Nor have I seen many mentions of Ysania or Eldor, who helped to run Kadius for many years despite their many enemies.

If you mention villains, you need to include characters such as Wolf and Vis of the early Blackmoon, Sunjar the elven assassin, etc..

If we talk about money makers, we need to include Ana and Mackeli of House Kohmar.  Few people know all of the founding members of House Kohmar, but I'm fairly certain they were comprised of Ana, Mackeli, Onyxwolf, Deaden, and Larth.  This was back in the day where you had a fixed ldesc.  Onyxwolf was always "playing with a twig of agafari."

To forget Aryk al'Azia in any list would be a shame simply because he was the driving factor in the total success that was the Gypsies before they settled down.  They were a fresh and interesting concept that was both completely new and completely fit within the realm of Armageddon, and he was one of the main reasons it was realized.

While there have been many scary southern templars in Garrick, Houndin, Htanyal, and Ihsahn -- there were also early ones like Faust that used to scare the bejeezus out of me whenever they entered the same room as my character.

We'd also be remiss in not mentioning some of the stronger warriors in the game such as Takryn, Thanos, Gemhdar, and likely several others that I cannot recall.

There are so many wonderful characters that have come and gone through the world of Armageddon, it's difficult to have a true list without mentioning many of them -- but it's definitely fun for threads like these to keep names from the older days fresh on the lips of people who never had the chance to know them.

You mention Takryn, and it makes me think of his wicked lifemate Tasha.  She had to have been the reason why the whole "There is no sexism in Armageddon" idea came about.  I think I saw a half dozen times personally the seduction of getting into a spar with "the girl" only to have her destroy the burly guy and go back to drinking.

I'll throw Ulathe, Serbitar and Varg as well as some warriors I saw do some fun things when it came to destruction.

It's true! Dude had skulls on all his shit! I think he even bought one of those skull-embroidered black codpieces from the costume shop. You know how you sometimes see a guy who's got azure doodads on every inventory slot, or is wearing nine different scorpion-embroidered, scorpion-carapace scorpion holders? Well, I seem to remember Detal Black having skulls, like, everywhere. I bet if his player did a >key skull he'd get a whole page of scroll. Skulls, by the way, obviously mean that a guy is totally Bad 2 The Bone.

      Just think of all those guys he killed!

The Golden Summer people may not have been the baddest or the toughest in Zalanthan history, but they were the funnest. If I'm going to pick an all-star cast to play with, I'm going for the fun ones.

They were some of the baddest of their time, as far as I know... I was with them for a little while as "the sandy-red mul", named Zolit I think it was, and with them later as other characters too.  I'm not sure what happened to them... I think Trevelli's player got in trouble for something and Breg's player took a very long break and never really came back.
