Well I stopped into this thread to see what was up. I remember seeing an epic post by Mighty that just needed to be posted here, and it needed its own thread because of the epicness.

Mighty Big Conspiracies - Volume I, Issue 1


"City of" Conspiracy Theory #1

- Moderator 08 and the Great War of the Mods -

These words were found to have been written in impervium ink on an unobtanium tablet. We here at Mighty Big Conspiracies decline to partake in speculation as to their meaning but have reprinted them here for your edification.

What follows is an exact reprinting.

FREEM!

The world is changed: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air...Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

It began with the forging of the Forum Rings.

Three were given to the Devs, immortal, wisest...fairest of all beings. Seven to the Fanbois, great miners of data and craftsmen of builds. And Nine...nine rings were gifted to the clique of PvPers who, above all else, desire power.

For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each clique.

But they were all of them deceived.

...for another ring was made.

By the hand of Emmert, in the fires of Cryptic Studios, the Dark Lord Jack forged in secret a Master Ring to control all others... and into this Ring he poured the ability to lock posts, the might of the banstick, and his will to dominate all aspects of the game.

One Ring to rule them all...

One by one the Free forums of “City of” fell to the power of the ring. But there were some...who resisted.

A last alliance of PvPers and Fanbois marched against the armies of Emmert. On the slopes of Cryptic Studios they fought for the freedom of the forums. Victory was near! But the power of the Ring could not be undone.

It was in this moment..when all hope had faded, that CuppaJo, sweet angel of mercy, light, and NCSoft, took up her thickest mug. Jack, the enemy of the Free Peoples of the Forums, was defeated.

The Ring passed to CuppaJo...who had this one chance to destroy evil forever. But the hearts of NCSoft are easily decieved. And the Ring of Power has a will of its own. It betrayed CuppaJo by serving her tea, forcing her to change places of employment.

And some things that should not have been forgotten...were lost.

History became legend...legend became myth.

And for two and a half thousand years the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer!

The Ring came to the creature Lighthouse, who took it deep into the forums of “City of”. And there, it consumed him. The Ring brought to Lighthouse unnatural long life. For a couple of years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Lighthouse's cave... It waited.

Darkness crept back into the forums of the world. Rumor grew of a Shadow in the Champion forums...whispers of a nameless fear. And the Ring of Power perceived...its time had now come. It abandoned Lighthouse.

But something happened then the Ring did not intend... It was picked up by the most unlikely number imaginable... A number 08....Number 08 of the Moderators.

For the time will soon come when Moderator 08 will shape the fortunes of all.


As has been stated, the above is a transcription. Draw your own conclusions. We will leave you with one question, though:

What happened to Moderators 00-07?

(Please give your thanks to Mighty.)

This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the Cryptic. We do not have the strength to withstand both Posi and PvP'rs. The Ring cannot stay in Northern California. This evil belongs to all of the Players. They must decide now how to end it. The time of the Emmert is over, my people are leaving these shores due to ED. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Fanbois? They toil away with calculators, seeking min/maxing. They care nothing for the troubles of others.
