Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If memory serves, "Suspicious Vlish" was actually one of DV's PDNs, and DV was a mod once upon a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Suspicious Vlish is definitely not Delicious Vlish. No relationship. (DV is like myself: created an account early, but was not present at all until later.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Odd, I could swear they were one and the same. Then again, you'd know the history better, you've been around a lot longer than I have. *does some quick searching* I guess you're right. And I was around while both of them were still actively posting, too. Please pardon my senior moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think Suspicious Vlish (also known as Waylander) belongs in the 2004-2006 category, not in the 2001-2003 category, as an active member-at-large. There are very few posts from 2003 and 2004 in the PPP, and there are only a few dozen or so posts missing. The rest are in the 2005-2007 range. From what I remember, Suspicious Vlish mostly hung out in the games forums and got into a bunch of Geneforge-related debates. And, apparently, got permabanned by Jeff due to this thread, which I did not realize until now. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 How about: Locmaar Sturg Hawk King Spring Sarasaphilia Dolphin All members at large for Era 3 though I'm thinking Sturg was in with the SV crowd and Spring was into designing.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm not sure if Sarasaphilia belongs in Era 3 or Era 4. The tail end of Era 3 at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name Sturg is vaguely familiar, but I don't remember him as part of SV. There is no member by that name on the SV archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 By the by, was I the only one who kept on mixing up Sturg and Stug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I think Stughalf did most of his posting when Sturg was still ben4808, actually. (Even if he didn't, Stughalf never went by Stug as a PDN.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Sarasaphilia is solidly era 4. Even though the eras correspond loosely to calendar years, I am not using exact calendar year cutoffs. For example, the Ikonboard Age ends before the end of 2001, because the Ikonboard did. For new members, Era 2 ends around September of 2003 -- there was a visible cultural shift, thanks in part to the increasing release of information about BoA and community anticipation/prep for that. Earlier in 2003, you get more new members associated with earlier eras: Rosycat, ef, Fort, Nazgul, etc. From the end of the summer, there was an influx of new members who do not feel as "old timey" because they have stuck around for a long time: Jewels, SoT, Nikki, RCCCL, Fatman, Kelandon, etc. Likewise, era 3 ends around September of 2006, with the permabanning of TM and the arrival of ETSD, along with another identifiable wave of new users: Nioca, The Mystic, Jeran Korak, Iffy, Excalibur, etc. Given the academic year schedule that many SWers follow, I suppose September makes a lot of sense for a turnover point!

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 By ETSD do you mean ET/SD? (Also: Remember, remember, the first of September...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yes. The compound acronym ETSD was taken up at some point, I believe, because it sounded like PTSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Huh, it was Stughalf that I was thinking of. The guy with the thing for weasels, right? Sturg was the first name I found that seemed to fit when I went looking for his moniker. Probably should have tried the picture threads. That's where I remember him from most.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It was ferrets. —Alorael, who believes needle/ferrets were Stug's meme weapon of choice. As memes go, there are worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Dikiyoba thought Stughalf just had ordinary ferrets, and the RW cult had needle/ferrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I think the needle/ferrets originated with Stug in the RW cult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 By the way, does the retrioactivity and nostalgia we build up in these topics carry over to the RP? Because then we'll have that bus running in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
