Thanks for the nice words, Tyr. But THE Kelmo and you are playing in a completely different league. I am just a Siege freshman with some preferences for social gameplay and a disgust for bad manners. But THE Kelmo is Champions League, Top of the Pops! I have been respecting him for many years. An idol, just as you are. And Hoffs, too. Even if many people dont see what an outstanding leader and great personality he is.
I am just part of a small HI-5-resistance cell and I will never bow to those that cultivate destruction, disrespect, aggression and hatred. With this motto you wear a target on your back, regardless if you are GIL, Kelmo, Tyrath or me.
There is a saying in Germany: Show me your friends and I tell you who you are.
It's a honor to be your friend. And no one can help people who have friends like this semi-educated law school-jerk.
I don't know about that idol stuff. The bulk of my life on Siege has been very quiet, if not outright reclusive. Until I started naming my houses with the -=103=- or whatever in the center and used some name changes on my main toons to make them Tyrath I went for years and years as a total unknown. Although I did spend some time as a ORC and UND. It was not until 2009/2010 I came more off the islands and out of the remote places and actually talked in GC and became more active in the community. I did take a break from Siege all together from 2002 or so until 2008 and focused more on Legends and actually am fairly well know on legends. In particular for ZOOG and the Great Zoogie Hunt events we hosted twice per year. Notoriety on Siege however always seemed like a very bad idea idea and those who had it over the years, always seemed to have that bulls eye on their back. Those who didn't pretty much were left alone and no special effort given to hunting them. After I name changed to Tyrath on my 4 main Siege Characters some of the folks that played GL and Legends started asking if I was the same Tyrath from Legends and everyone assumed I was new to Siege so I rolled with that
Even joined New2 to keep the image up LOL, I still have the set of Tina Tink Armor and the spell book Freja gave me when I joined New2. Probably my most notable house is the house in the middle of the Tsuki Garden as I have had the same location on Legends, Atlantic, Great Lakes and Siege since the day SE went live, but since almost no has ever gone there and pretty much less than no one know you can place a house there it went totally unoticed for the most part, and unless you place it just right everyone got the "Housing is not allowed in this area message." Back prior to SE at one of the meet and greets where the devs were traveling the country doing them in person, I spoke with one dev can't even remember which one now. That said there would be two Isamu smallish house plots that would be hard to find. Hehe I found them both the first hour after SE released. The Hiryu Porch is the most obvious and the Tsuki Garden. The Hiryu Porch never held much interest for me. The Wolf House though I fell in love with, Sold a Atlantic Castle to free up my Atlantic account to place 15x10 there and never once regretted it.
Like all things in UO my guild ZOOG declined from 47 very active members down to myself and one other on legends and she has not logged in since 2010
I found myself playing on Siege more and more and now probably 85% of my game time is on Siege and has been for the last 8 years prior to that about 30% of my game time was on Siege. I have tried a few times over these last years to get ZOOG going on Siege but seems no one wants to be a ZOOGIE hunter anymore
and the not being able to SJ or Recall on Siege turns a lot of folks off to making the hive runs.
One thing I have never liked even a little bit are the UO cheaters. Since HI-5 brags about cheating in GC, cries about getting busted cheating on stratics, and post screen shots with their cheats visible........ I am not going to accuse of them of cheating
They did that themselves
If openly opposing that kind of crap is and failing to see how that improves the shard in anyway, put a bullseye on my back now days.......so be it. Azoz saying I am on the HI-5 wall of shame LOL that is a badge of honor for me as it clearly signifies I am not in line with them. They have yet to manage a kill on me and yep damn straight I provoke them.... and will continue to empty their AFK packs and kill their script resource collectors. And use all that old school LEGAL CHEEZ that they can't seem to get their minds around. I keep saying sooner or later one will get lucky and catch me with my guard down and score a kill......... At this point I am starting to wonder if that is ever going to happen
As far as an idol or icon nope I am just a recluse that likes a honest and balanced Siege. I have seen the side where the wolves drove everyone else off the shard and then whined there was no one to PK and I have seen Siege more peaceful than Legends and the blues whine there is no one to sell things to. Right now HI-5 contrary to claims is not here for PvP they are here to Grief, PK and Dry loot anyone they can find. For those new to Siege over the last couple of peaceful years that is bad and they make easy marks for the vermin. For those that have been on Siege for a long time, it is simply a matter of reverting back to the tactics that makes death to a PK a exception and not the rule. A few folks have asked why I don't start PKing HI-5 as I am contrary to popular belief actually very good at PvP not that I portray that on Siege, if you have ever met my PvP toons on Legends you know I am more than capable of holding my own in a fair fight. The truth is Neither I or any other non **** running PvP can fight them and win. There is no dishonor in refusing to fight stacked 3rd party programs. Better in this case to just avoid them and give them no one to PK IMO. Again not accusing HI-C of anything more than they have already claimed and bragged about publicly.
The only effective ways to beat HI-C down is for a small guild to start running the same **** or a large guild with competent PvPrs not running **** to overwhelm them with sheer numbers. Or just kill them with boredom
