My pretty thread got derailed from me disbelieving Zennsunni's tenure. :( But it's nice to see you old farts here, anyhow.
Those stories match up well with the kinds of thing I would hear from the handful of GS2 folk who came to the D.C. gathers. When we still had D.C. gathers. :(
Like opening a new area, go into the room, you see a castle, <some wiseass does "get castle"... and winds up with the castle in his hand>, and there is the text-game equivalent of an angry GM yelling from the other room, "YOU JUST PUT THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!!"
(Thinking about it, I believe I heard it as a bridge, not a castle. Same story, still funny. <dismiss>)
