Ah Piram, Siege could still use a group/guild of folks that do their best to try to protect the innocents and to try their best to slay evil whenst it is found. But ye many a folk even evil ones from here also went off to that place called Atlantic, due to fanciful suits almost necessary to fight with that they kept losing here ie no insurance not enough blessed items to bless, and suits worth a flip got fancier and fancier with %%%% of whatevers costing lots of gp to replace, meh so aye many a folk even from here went off to that busier shard Atl. I had always kept the original 1998 QueenZen with a home on Chesapeake even when I came here in 2004 simply cuz 5 accts. of stuffs I had there needed more than bank vaults to hold things, that and the original older QZ on Chessie was a warrior that never feared going to felucca where many of my allies still stand even to this day on that shard. But those shards had that Trammel and insurance and well I HATED insurance.
Siege never had insurance, so the lack of it is why *I* came here to Siege in the first place and found in 2004 that I liked it more to have a tad bit more perilous, world of Ultima.
If ever I would return to this world, chances would be it would remain primarily Siege.
But then I like being an entertaing dead person, post pking to end up becoming my creative, dead speaking dancing ghost too for this world is ''JUST"a game, up to each one of us, to make the most of it wherever whenever we can, and even deaths should somehow remain entertaining, to us or make it so, here, cuz in rl we can't get a res nor dance as dead ghosties. lol
I forgot to mention to ye, one of the last events that a combo of Blind Otto and I held in Wintermoor was one last great story night in Wintermoor.
Otto and I debated whether to leave the home wide open to the public for story night or to just admit folks in whom were friendly and more or less only blue, but then some murderers stay blue to deceive.
Well we debated it and said to each other : This is SIEGE even colorful red folks have come to participate in fight nights story nights without attacking and even if they do that well, tis to be expected murderers murder, let in everyone we agreed and opened the Wintermoor story night house to one and all, to host that event that evening.
In the white snows of Wintermoor a horde of reds came a calling to our story night. Many a folk began to tremble as that horde was known for exterminating insolent blues. Some wanted to flee then and there seeing that horde of red names coming to story night..but everyone remained figuring we were all about to engage in fisticuffs and die.
The horde of red folks entered quietly, some even began to tell stories in turn each telling a tale or two. Folks were amazed yet everyone still held their breath in some sort of anticipation. Finally.... the Lord of the DAMNED got up to tell us all a story too.
He spoke of false reds, insolent blues, told his story of how he felt the gods were unjust in their injustices to colorful red folks with the rules of our world impeeding them like hard to get a res etc. Then the Lord Of The Damned, at that time owner of the horde of VMP guild, started telling us all how he hated flowers and rainbows....and as if on cue, with the mere mention of the word rainbows, every VMP suddenly after 1 hr. plus of peace and quiet and coexistence, in the building, began attacking every *insolent* blue in attendance.
It was priceless and ended up one of the most entertaining evenings of story night in Wintermoor or anywhere that ever had happened.
Corpses of dead people red and blue alike, littering the entire building and the landscape of snows of Wintermoor.
Twas a very very entertaining memorable evening and a fine sort of grande finale to the last KSS hosted story night in Wintermoor !!
Twas that night me and Blind Otto, dead as we were just smile and said... ya gotta love Siege Perilous !
*waves to vile WYRM, if he is reading Stratics today, good show, ye damned lord of the damned... vile red vampire, tis why to this day I still 'toss rainbows' at Wyrm, even if only just on this Siege Forum, just cuz he said he hated rainbows, rainbows sets him off to KILL,
and the mere mention of that word, set off a wonderous massive anticipated chain reaction, of murder and mayhem, one night of story time, in Wintermoor, on' cue' for vile ones to KILL lol !
Sol Invictus sire may ye find somewhere, some shard which ye call home in ye return to UO, maybe it will yet be Siege and a reprisal of KSS, if not the actual KSS, then some other guild all brand new that trys to protect the innocents, offers some real fights for reds and blues and just has fun.
