Like I said: I know he can be a shitdick online, he's not a bad person in real life, he just has an online problem.

That, my dear, was frickin HILARIOUS.

I've been on other games: Battlestar Somethingoranother, Serenity, etc. but not for long enough for them to stick in my mind.

I beg to differ, but then again, I've known him for years and years. Though recently I asked him not to play on a game I was enjoying because though I like him, he tends to ruin the experience for me.

@mietze : Yes, I worked as the Director of Quality Assurance & Customer Service for Skotos Tech, which ran Castle Marrach. They relocated me from New Jersey to the Bay Area in 2001, and paid me $66K to do this job for them at the time, and they had some relatively impressive employees, coders, a dude who wrote for old Infocom text games like Hitchhiker's Guide, and a dude who was a marketing director for TSR back in the day. The company now owns, I think, RPG.net, and Shannon Appelcline worked for them. They also helped bail out Chaosium at one point when they needed it.

As for the game itself...well, it wasn't a direct comparison to MU*'s for various reasons, cuz it was custom coded and had some strange elements to it. However, checking out skotos.net, it appears to be still around, still has players, has an active facebook group with 146 members, and the like. So I can't really say much about it. Hell, they even have my old articles from that day & age, Mummer's Dance, still archived on the site, so how could I really complain? I don't know whether they pay people to run it anymore, though, or have gone volunteer.

Incidentally...for all of those who either love or hate Custodius/Jaden/whatever-else...he's kinda my doing. I'd befriended him @ Castle Marrach in real life (hell, he was basically my neighbor), and I introduced him to the world of MU*ing. Sorry to those who were traumatized by him; I didn't know at the time. Out of game, he's not a bad guy.

Is it wrong that I don't know who EuBanana is?

I doubt we'll ever see another Shadowrun like Seattle, but I wish we did. I don't have it in me to run one or staff on one, but I'd sure like to play it.

I ran Seattle's RP thing for a while; and Detroit's; and Denver's. I played Victor Ivankov and Minos probably most notably.

There's got to be some people here who've played Shadowrun MU*'s in the late 90's/00's. That aren't Shadowrun Denver (not that there's much wrong with that). Ideally, some people who didn't hate me. I'm feeling nostalgic.
