i feel an addiction trying to kick back in. LCN, SOL, RD, PDM, LAF... oh my.

excuse me i think i need to call my therapist before i think starting up Osgiliath again makes sense.

UCN Forever.

Miss 91.2% of you non-multis, glad to see you all still playing.

I'm on facebook if you ever wanna drop me a line. http://www.facebook.com/grant.knox

Hugs,

Grant

Why not start up the UCN again ;) This game has a future with the good admins here and old clans coming back are always good. I'm sure you could find some members here/elsewhere :P

i bought into the insanity of running an alliance from 1998-2005 (with a break in 2002 when i shuttered UCN due to RD bots) never again my friend, never again. i still shudder at the hours i spent on this game

lol then come back and be a slacker like the rest of us ;) Can't blame someone for trying eh?

Is that really THE fingolfin?

Well most of us oldies now just play the game for a bit of nostalgia and to have a laugh. There are still some that take it very seriously but far from all.

And the best thing of all is that there are no more multies or bots.

YOU HAVE MY SWORD

Hasn't been bots/RD influence for 3 years?

Yes, I actually remembered his name for some reason. Hey fingolfin. Thanks for noticing SoF is still here. haha

btw: The bots are gone and you can play an all explore country in minutes a day. You should give it a try again.

Help Detmer run the earth awards wanker!

What he said.

We need awesome people back!

w0ah it's fin! :) He doesn't know me, because I kept quiet back on the boards back then...

UCN was pretty kikass before they decided to take on RD; that was too bad =(

remake UCN!

it's not the same with only two _CN's :(

I remember fing. Don't think I ever talked to him though :P

wasnt fingolfin a character in lotr? lol. Yeah i remember fingolfin.

it's fignolfin..

howdy fingolfin

OMGOMGOMGOMG (that's 4, at least one more than I normally post...)

FINNY!!! lol Welcome back! This place has been sorely lacking in the Great Satan department... ;)

waka flaka flame

You could always comeback and join RD.

heh, might as well turn this whole game upside down :)

don't Listen to mr silver

he's a fluff

heya fin! :)

I love it when the real oldies drop by.

Nice to see you Fingolfin :)

Guy with no clue.

Join the Darkside Fing, you know you want to play again.

Hiya Fin!

back in 2000 when i was a newbie UCN threatened to kill my country unless i joined :P

Hi Grant :)

ZEN!!!! Keep your hands off that - it's not polite!!! *smack*

Grant saw my fluffty band play like 8 years ago before he moved away from me like an ass hole.

My first 1a alliance was UCN :)

wow, it's been so long. Also, not sure if I remember right, didn't most of UCN join PDM, or UCN core started PDM....I can't remember.

or (and this is most likely) I'm wrong on both statements.

PDM core was from PoW.


Elysium was from UCN. Wax and co. split off.

Wow. A Fin sighting.

omg..

fingolfin

zen your band was so bad i didnt want to get invited again! seriously though if you guys are still gigging tell me when and i'll show up again.

funny story after i shut down UCN the second time in 2005 a few people in RD felt badly about what ronnie did. reminds me that i still have somewhere the FBI cybercrimes taskforce report from when Ronnie used his companies computer network to hack my personal computer. I remember calling his boss to explain the situation, i wish i could have seen ronnie's face then. but i digress anyway a few in rd felt badly and let me play a country completely under the radar in the RDjr tag. i had no site access and had no idea who anyone wsa but for i think almost 2 resets i netgained in peace as a jr. 2 of the only resets in history my country didnt go down in flames.

lot of great people i got to interact with in this game. many long phone calls with Croaker, Mrs. croaker and thumper are foremost in my mind. the great earth2025 Vegas trip was a blast with Mist, norcal, Al-man, sutler and 5-10 more was unforgettable.

the many dates, plans, work that got cancelled because of earth2025 "emergencies"

maybe i wasn't the most tactful or diplomatic at times, maybe i could have taken time to listen to others more, hindsight being what it is. However one thing i'm proud of through those years is that i did what i thought was right at the time and i stuck with it regardless of the cost. i never joined a coalition but rather evaluated each reset on it's own merits and made choices accordingly. we played as fair as reasonable given the way the game was, we tried to teach each member as best as we could how to play, we tried to instill a sense of pride in the UCN name with every member.

Being the leader of UCN is something i'll continue to cherish

Wow, fin!

Welcome back!

You probably don't remember me from any of my names I've used but damn, everyone knows you lol.

a hoy hoy

Completely correct, although there was an ex-UCN contingent in PDM for a while which he may have been thinking of.

I'll assume that is what he is thinking of because PapaSmurf is awesome and deserves the benefit of the doubt. I remember when we first met in 2000-2001ish when I was in a Camelot fake-tag who could run some retallers so after the first Camelot top rankers were suicided we could fill in. PS had a very compelling merger argument. It really reminds me of how similar PDM and TIE were and maybe that is why we were such great allies through most of Earth history.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

i say this knowing full well it was be ignored completely, but any time you want to play in rd, fin, i'm your door in.

(i was also a member of pow, which i remember only because junky quoted kya above here)

I remember that. I got quite a few alliances to merge into TIE back in the day, boy did I have drive. And truth be told, I'm sure UCNers were every where....apparently including RD

Waves to my old friend.

SNERK

Make yourself a country Fin, EE needs all the old timers it can get!

"SNERK"

i suppose i could have threatened to bot him, but i thought amends would be the better road to take

Actually, my comment was more directed towards the 'I'm your door' portion of your post, since it reminded me of so many things...like 'back passage', etc...

But, we can live with that as well.
