Oldbie Most Wanted List (Contest)

[Max Dirks]

Hey everyone, black shadow's thread gave me an idea for a fun little game. Throughout the years, we've had a number of instrumental writers on the site who have moved on to bigger and brighter things. Althanas has changed quite a bit recently and I think it's a good time to invite those folks back to check things out (or possibly rejoin us if they're interested). So I've decided to make a game of it. Here's the jist:

For every oldbie that you "find" you will receive points. The contest will last one week or until all oldbies on the list have dropped by. To "find" an oldbie, they must post in this thread and indicate that you "found" them. Basically saying something to "Hey everyone, _____ found me!" is sufficient. Most of these people still have accounts on the site, but some do not. Accordingly, I will be watching IP addresses carefully for new registrations. If you get caught cheating, you automatically lose (and might get banned). I've kept in contact with many of the people on the list and can easily verify!

There are prizes, of course. 1st prize will be a coveted Althanas aesthetics package complete with a larger PM box (250!), a colored username (not white), a larger avatar & a custom user title! 2nd prize will earn you a custom user title. 3rd prize will net you 250 GP. I'll also be extending the "recruitment drive" during this time. For every oldbie you get to check in, you get an AP which can be used to buy cool stuff or be traded for EXP.

I'm pretty sure Relt Peltfelter is Ter-Thok and still relatively active. Also, The Valkyrie had an intro thread as Slavegirl some two months ago, so I'm not sure if that counts as inactive or not.

A great idea, though. Even if we get just a couple of these names to check in, it will be great to see them.

[Max Dirks]

That's why they're only worth 10 points, as I figured they'd be easy to track down. Relt was on last night, if anyone's curious. I may or may not have tipped off Vickie you guys were coming after her as well

[Letho]

Ah, I see. How come there's no Ithermoss on the list? Or Gild and Wolftrappe? Not sure if some of the really old names are alts of those I mentioned, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to mention them.

EDIT: Also, Sighter/Findelfin.

[Max Dirks]

Sighter pokes his head in all the time, which is why I neglected to mention him. Gild, Ithermoss and Wolftrappe, on the other hand, are good additions.

From now on, I'll also take suggestions for other oldbies to find. Presuming, of course, I don't feel as though the suggestor has an unfair advantage of locating said oldbie.

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Well, if you're taking suggestions...

AdventWings
Artifex Felicis
Godhand (who, granted, popped his head into chat a few months back, but nothing since then)

[Max Dirks]

Artifex was up there as nekoprince, but I suppose to the newer folks Artifex is a more common name. I edited accordingly. I also put Godhand and Sighter up there as 10 points and Adventwings as 25. Not anymore though, because I believe he stopped by earlier this year.

[Rayse Valentino]

I'll give 1000GP to anyone who gets Revenant back to posting.

250GP to anyone who gets the LCC judged and EXP rewarded for everyone.

[Zook Murnig]

Ithermoss has been around recently.

However, good additions: hamnat, Ataraxis, and that guy with the undead chef (I can't remember his name).

[Max Dirks]

No more will be added. Go find the ones that are there.
