>> -Some streets in the Landing were named for characters that were around before de-ICEing, but I don't know which ones.

This is my project that I will premiere the first one or two at Pioneer Days. (waves to Kenstrom, SURPRISE!)

I knew and played with almost every one of them.

Many of the people (and more) are also mentioned in Dreamweaver's Ballad of the Landing. It's been ret-conned along with GS to be ICE-proof, except for many one or two things. :) Luxie premiered the performance last Pioneer Days. I rewrote some of the stanzas in it, too - I ... might know a bit more about lyrics than I did in 1993 or whenever that was.

:)

Ask me anytime for a song.

I think all of the street names are named after former players, except for the North, South, East, and West Ring roads, and town center.

Nephew Clunk once did regular walks about town with Berr Zercker, Reklawhtur and others to hear tales of those characters, and to puzzle over why each had earned their own street name. There is no better source than those who remember first hand, but only a few of those folks are still about.

Thuunk did the same thing researching the now not-so-rare Kelfour and/or Kulthea Chronicles, maybe twenty years back. Most are named for first lord or first lady of either a race or profession.

Hearthstone Manor similarly records early character history, but this time for the first of each profession to achieve Legend status.


Catch Thuunk in town, and we can go over them, and perhaps do a walkabout town.

If you want to complete the timing, by earth years, Elonka used to have a record of Simutronics related company product events, that is helpful when piecing together the in-game timeline. Of course, that part is out-of-game, but helpful in understanding the various eras the game has gone through.

The Bresnahanini rolton is the one I know of for Artuero, what else please?

Art was chairman of Arcane when I was inducted, what a stickler for Roberts Rules! Fun times.

<<flees>>

:D

>Have you seen the menu at the Silvergate Inn's Pub?

Gah, more rolton! :)

Thanks Luxelle, I completely forgot about the menu, and at one time I drank a lot of Rumbling Hills ale because the price was right.

:D

<There are other references in various other kinds of places to some later ice-age characters, too. I've seen one for Artuero (actually 2 for him), Sagan, and Dreamweaver. And those are just the ones I have found!>

Yer, these are the types of things I'm interested in... though I'm not limiting it to the ICE era.

GS had just been de-ICEd when I started playing and I've spent the vast majority of my time in RR, so I likely wouldn't know many references to specific characters if I saw them in other towns. What were the Sagan and Dreamweaver references?


<Catch Thuunk in town, and we can go over them, and perhaps do a walkabout town.>

I might have to take you up on that if I can kick the little bugger awake when you're around. He gets bored waiting around east tower for boxes.

Re: Sagan's Hideout/Alley ... I'm pretty sure this was placed here as a memorial after the player passed away. But I don't know when that was. He was one of those amazing Roleplayers you admired, most people ... admired him from a distance :)

He was one of the few instrumental characters who stood up to the Mad Mage at the height of the CoL Conflict back in the early 90's. Because there was nothing at ALL subtle or discriminating about Lythe. Youngsters were as much fair game to him as the seasoned vets of the day.

Yuri, Sagan, and Benar often came to the defense of a younger character that Lythe was targeting, regardless of which side the youngster was on, or which side they were on.

There are some in guilds as well, probably rather more than I recognise.

I knew Sagan outside the game. He was one of the kindest people I'd ever met. His smile was infectious and he lifted the spirits of those around him. He's one of those people I just liked to be around, and whatever honors he has left in-game are truly well deserved.

Not something I expected to see posted.... but counts in my book
