So theres an LS pvp hall of fame? And that sorry ass fool pikachu is on there? GTFO lol I remember I dueled him three times in front of EE and beat him 2/3 with a 5x hally mage with like 93 magery and 65 resist on dial up. That hall of fame is sorely mistaken because I can name atleast 5 people who were better than me.
This pretty much summed up my thoughts on this entire thread. Someone earlier was talking about how a lot of the "awesome PvPers" were only awesome because of their connections, and... oh, boy was that true. I don't know how many of the guys from the later incarnations of RED (like MechanisM/FadE, Reylon Atreides, etc) and people like Rigor Mortis that I dueled and either killed or fought until we ran out of regs while they were on 30ms cable and I was 200+ on a 56k dialup. People remember the old days fondly, but connection was a lot, back then. Getting locked in a closet with someone slower than you and dying because you couldn't off-screen must have been terribly embarrassing for a lot of them.
I remember dueling a guy named STOLY because his friend RePo (an old EE member) had told him that I was a trash-talking house-hider who wouldn't fight anyone 1v1. We went to that island near Delucia, he set the rules, broke every rule he had set, lost anyway, and then disconnected and never came back. Lots of folks from old LS took their connections for granted. The real hardasses from LS were the people that were out there every day fighting on dial-up and taking names. Phirehawk (there were two, I'm talking about Danny), Xerxes (macer guy from one of the dungeoneering guilds that got started in the wake of Column's RED) and yeah, people like Fdisk, no matter how many people make fun of him, lol.
Btw, I was Golgorian and Justice from old LS. I started in SBR, moved on to G*G for a bit, and ended up bouncing between two of my own guilds, Doh and DTL. We had a small tower about one screen to the left of the Yew moongate, directly above the FPT small tower. An old friend of mine ran a disarm thief/dungeon looter named Ered out of there, and I did a lot of polymorph NPKing, too. I remember virtually every single person that's been mentioned in this thread, although a lot of you probably don't remember me. I played solo a lot, and stayed on the fringe of the PvP scene because my connection was so unstable. Seen a lot of folks here who lost duels to me though, and a lot more who seem to be remembering themselves as being better than they were, heh.
Btw, the Hall of Fame site was a complete joke. I remember when Sir Michael was "inducted" and his interview was a bunch of mangled, misspelled wigger net-speak. The TOS forum was a complete wash for months after that, with my RL friends and I posting wigger rap songs making fun of that idiot and his spazzy brother.
