Old Fogies...
I leave here for a year or so, and when i come back everythings changed?!?
Anyone sum up what the hell is going on around here for an old timer like me?
About time i used some of those old credits i still got...
Don't think i've played since about R16, might even be R15, but i could be convinced to waste a few hours here and there
Would be nice to see some old faces again.

Re: Old Fogies...
Memory is getting a little foggy now, but as memory serves, I was in IPC from R5-10.5, then NewDawn for a few rounds, F-Crew sproradically when i got bored, then i played for 1up, LCH, and im sure there was another alliance in there somewhere someone will probably hit me with a stick for forgetting.
Not to mention a short stint helping out the PA team, and winning the PA War-song contest

You were in NoS from May 10 (or earlier) to June 7 (or later) according to my IRC logs. Think that was around r12-r13.

I have to admit to playing at this time, R9 was the last I think, and yes I can see all the changes.
Where did covert opps come from.
Still another intresting level
A steep learning curve for us adled old fogies
Glad not to be alone.

Re: Old Fogies...
Wow amassing to see Planetarion still going, it was a old thread i'd subscribed to in 2004 that got a reply that got my curiosity up to check its still running.
Nice to see your still playing Brimstone, I'm sure you remember me
For those of you that don't, I'm a R1 player part of the PACrew (as it was called then) one of my responsibilities being 'Multihunting' no idea what its like these days, but in my day it was nothing unusual to delete in excess of 1,000 accounts a week for the 'Multi' offence (among many others you all seem determined to keep us busy with ) and I was only 1 among 6 others who were deleting the same or more numbers........ but in those days we had hundreds of thousands playing, the record for one person, from memory was in excess of 30,000 accounts, this was held by a BT engineer who as a result of an investigation lost his job! Amassing the lengths some people would go to eh
Well as i said nice to see PA going and going strong take care all
