History of TLR

    Wow, what memories...I remember the times when Arcon, Spear and myself used to squabble over who had the highest counts. Of Course, Tachyon and Mad Dog and EB always trumped us. Still, I made Port Commodore back before the evient purge...damn shame. I was higher up on counts than Rubber Eagle and Wizard (<b>***Wizard edit: I was higher in postcount I believe <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>*** </b>). In fact Boscoe was about a hundred posts ahead of me, we were both port commodores. MD, you´ve got to contact me on AIM or MSN sometime...I want to play CS again...it´s been ages. (AIM is Diehard Elvis). Glad to see so many of the old guys still here in this thread. I kinda miss Zeratural...back in the early days he was the only entertainment we had. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> EB, good to see you again as well. <img src=´http://home.mchsi.com/~daniel.goodwin/majorsig.jpg ´> <b>Merc for hire...but only if you can afford it. </b> Edited by - Wizard on 9/20/2004 2:09:37 PM Edited by - Wizard on 9/20/2004 2:09:59 PM

    At the risk of bringing up bad memories, I was rereading &quot;Taming of the Psycho&quot; and I was wondering just what a &quot;slurt&quot; is? &quot;we wish for one last landing on the globe that gave us birth, to rest our eyes on the fleecey skies, and the cool green hills of earth&quot; - ´Noisy´ Rhysling

    Junior Hey was trying to call everyone &quot;sluts&quot; but he was typing at such a frenetic pace he often hit the ´r´ as well as the ´t´ to make &quot;Slurt.&quot; I rather like the word, it really was true I have not heard a word of which I was so

    Ahh I see. Got to admit, when I read that line I laugh so hard I tear up. God I love those plays. &quot;we wish for one last landing on the globe that gave us birth, to rest our eyes on the fleecey skies, and the cool green hills of earth&quot; - ´Noisy´ Rhysling

    Thanks Junior. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> BTW, if anybody is wondering what he´s talking about check my post on page 2 of this thread.

    SS - Heh <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. No, I´m only on once a day although I´m sure it seems much more to some people <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. I´d be worried about Final though. How DOES that guy manage to spend so much time here when he is limited by a 56k modem? <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Appears I´m a little late to the party, but... You know what I remember most? The debates and disccusions about the most irrelevant things EVER! For example, the original cut of the intro had Mr. Rockford surviving the sun exploding on the other side of Pluto. It occured to me that he was a general, and had a perfectly good ship and he was hiding on the other side of the planet! I argued that he was a coward and was hiding from the fight. Of course, that doesn´t even begin to compare to the neuronet threads. Yeah, back then the neuronet would steer for us! I´m pretty sure several comparisons of joysticks to unflattering phallic proportions were thrown around. That was a long time ago, though. Oh yeah, I remember the agonizing periods that could last for entire seasons where we didn´t get a single word of any news from DA or MS. And then the magic moment when you load the front page and theres a new screenshot or some new preview with new information. Then there was the off-topic forum. All sorts of great stuff happened there. EB, Mad Dog and I would work a jab into every post about Stinger and Boscoe´s age. Steamed carrots anyone? Oh yeah. And any discussion I ever participated in with Rheinland Destroyer (where is he)? I swear, we could never agree on anything at all. Ditto for MinisterPhobia and Stinger. In fact, their inability to disagree eventually lead MP to leave the site, only to come back to the sweet embrace of our collective arms. I guess he left again though <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Wait, is Geek Orgy still around? I guess he was already mentioned, but I have to say resisting Zeratural´s communist propaganda was both difficult and entertaining. I remember being confused when I can´t find Denmarkian on Babelfish. I can´t remember how this injoke originated, but I think it´s pretty easy to figure out... <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Hmm. What else? Oh yeah. I used to fly around with Stinger, EB, and Mad Dog (and sometimes others) in Freelancer. Havn´t done it in a while, obviously. See, I´m a lazy bastard at heart, and it was terribly convenient to just click Formation on Stinger and turn and watch TV, only to come back and occasionally kill a flight of Outcasts or look at the new planet we found or something. Specifically, though, I remember the habit of our guide blindly trusting the autopilot to steer us around planets, only to send everybody trailing him to a fiery death barrelling into the planet at 300 kilometers a second, while goes on his merry way, and I remember *****ing about it a lot afterwards. That ruined FL for me. Even in SP I always use manual fight, even when I´m supposed to be in formation with a transport or something <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I also remember my habit of making bigass posts. Oh yeah, hi <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> P.S. For those who aren´t going &quot;Who the hell is this guy?&quot; and are wondering where I´ve been, well mostly I´ve been either studying, driving to the ends of the earth looking for a new place, moving to said new place in an entirely new city, or working on remodeling said place. Stupid real life, why can´t it just go away? <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> P.P.S. I don´t know why, but it says I only have like 1000 posts. That´s a lie, and I actually had like 7000 or something, so I still own you all <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://tachyon15.homestead.com/files/tachsigbeta4.gif ´> Edited by - Tachyon on 9/26/2004 4:40:26 PM

    Right on Tach! Damn those real life issues! *Sighs and goes back to job searching* <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Final - Yeah right!
