Fun (and little known) Facts about FL!

[a-guitarist]

The reason Tamara speaks the way she does is due to when Viri programmed the newbie quests. He forgot to spell check her speech. Upon testing, he was told how great of a job he did with making NPC's role-play. Thus, it was kept that way for all to enjoy.

The original name was going to be "Abraham Lincoln in Tehran", but in light of the later global war on terror it was changed in hopes to not offend anyone.

Due too the name changed, the game's original premise was also modified from a Manifest Destiny-like Democracy game.

The Bloodletting history of FL was inspired by a horrible weekend Crypticant spent with his mother in-law to be. There is some discussion as to if it had to do with a monthly visit, or a desired out come.

There is a rumour that if you kill the right Nymph in Emerald forest at the correct hour, you will turn into a toad. However, if you then immediately go to Maddie and ask for a kiss you will become your regular race again, and be given the prefix "His Majesty." If you are a female you will have to go to the Ford and kiss Jhaerk- earning the prefix, "Giant Lover."

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

The Ninja class was created by a person in the precursor to FL called AR (A game about the English Empire). The reason it hasn't been changed is that the creator soon learned of his error in naming certain skills and level titles- and thus it is kept this way so when he swings by (from time to time) he will be embarrassed with his shotty workmanship.

Crypticant was once quoted as saying, "I understand, I really do... but I don't care if cookie monster is a cute monster or a child's role model, if he ever stops eating cookies exclusively I'll tear his ****ing head off."

Crypticant is a liar.

If you play the "Dark Side of the Moon" album by Pink Floyd while reading the descriptions of the rooms in Mirvhour in the proper Vnum order, they will sync up.

Farmer Griff's brother was originally from a place named Nantucket, but due to charges of indecency that involved minors, he now resides in Aabahran.

Your HP and Mana will scale as you level- so that your stats will be nearer a predetermined average.

Eshaine once won a Shane MacGowan look alike contest, and then four hours latter the Miss Universe Pageant. There were articles about cheating in a contest that were on the internet a few weeks later, but then they disappeared not allowing anyone to verify if it were true, or which contest.

FL was originally started with Crypticant and a few others, along with their distant cousin- although her name is never mentioned, it is known she resides in Western Europe and still plays.

Palwen charges 2,000,000,000 gold for what she calls, "A Name Change." She's now had four takers.

a-guitarist and WC earned the title of "The Twins" in high school for their competition in who could get the most women topless.

WC is ahead of a-g with a score of 1 1/2 - 1, a penalty occurred with an accident involving a visiting cousin and a shower.

There is a room rumoured to be somewhere in FL that has a mob that is completely drunk. Occasionally the mob will say things that no one understands, with or without Comprehended Languages active. Once a game year another mob (titled, "The Drunk's Friend") will be in the room fighting with him over a romantic, drunken encounter with his sister. This is supposably based on an FL player.

Tonic's 1999 hit, "You Wanted More", was written by Virigoth and Crypticant's band, "Spirealing out of Control" after reading multiple threads demanding more new things to be coded into the game. However, in order to code more for FL they sold the rights to the song and disbanded their musical group. They now regret doing so.

If you've ever woken up in the middle of the night completely soaked after an evening of FL, don't worry. If you were bitten by a vampire it's medically known as a "Nocturnal Inmission", and it's completely normal.

Miley Cirus has a fued with Aabahran. It is due to, (as quoted by Miley herself) "That place totally snubbing me. I, like, wanted to meet the place. Maybe I'll just go talk to Radiohead!"

Albert P. Carey got the idea for his company's slogan after playing FL for two weeks. He tried to quit after deleting his character, but kept coming back after each subsequent condeath or deletion.

Crypticant recently was paroled from prison for good behavior. Part of the conditions for his release is disbanding the fight league he was running and to find a more appropriate "Father/Daughter" activity. In Crypticant's defense, his team was undefeated.

To correct any previous discussions: Twinblades drives the short bus, he does not ride in it.

Iconz started an Urban Growth initiative, but had to be explained that steroids were not good unless prescribed by a doctor. He is now in medical school.

Malchieus' password is "12345". After learning of this, Deykari had to change the password on his luggage.

One day you'll realize that you've been totally destroyed in PK by Bali and Deykari. You will cry, but still continue to make fun of them for "sucking" on the forums.

FL originally had a social program which they tested in Val Miran aimed at the youth to practice safe mud sex. However, due to no one following the procedures it was outlawed all together. This just proves teens can not be responsible with sex- and therefore are not allowed to have it. In related news, all characters are immaculately conceived thus making any RP about parents a blatant lie.

Falen Dara's name was changed from Thalos as a metaphor for all the current Mud Population going through puberty. The invasion of a race of snake-like lizard people completed the metaphor.

You mess with the minotaur, you get the horns. However, if a Minotaur kills a cow mob, he should not enter Minoma for the next 300 ticks. Just trust me on this.

Iusedtobesomebody was used as the original scent for, "Old Man", a cologne designed to remind women of their grandfathers.

Inspired by someone here, many of the Male members of the forums have started a religion that we do not talk about openly. The found principles are: Briskness, speed, and swiftness. We are encouraged to pray to our shrines in our own way. No one will admit to who our deity is, or why they were chosen.

When FL was being created, Virigoth and Crypticant talked about a way to boost the morale of the playerbase- knowing they were all socially awkward losers. Just before starting the coding process of a program to show that life could always be worse, GrimReefer started playing the game so the project was aborted.

A member of the community named Pali is as close to Superman as the real world will ever get, he isn't even afraid of guns.

Spoken like a true scrotumless and socially awkward loser.

Congratulations, a-g... get a life, poindexter.

And sometimes you just realize a-g has too much time on his hands.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Palwen charges 2,000,000,000 gold for what she calls, "A Name Change." She's now had four takers.

I wish she actually had that much gold.

[Malchaeius]

I will bite. Here is a few I just came up with.

• The reason why we have a policy against IMMs revealing their alter egos is to prevent people from realizing Raargant is actually Bruce Wayne.
  
• Anume is a split personality of Eshaine. Anume knows it, but Eshaine doesnt. Think Fight Club - but with more slayings.
  
• If your character ever has 69 health, 69 mana, and 69 movement points exactly, you get an instant restore.
  
• All undead mobs in the game can be one hit killed by casting resurrection. Furthermore, they can be hurt by casting curaga.
  
• There IS a phoenix down potion in the game that will give you 1 life back.
  
• Conclave was never destroyed. Every single seemingly overpowered character from 1.0 to now has had clave powers.
  
• Grim Reefer is a phony. He is neither Grim, nor does he have any Reefer. His real name is Dexter P. Snuggleface.
  
• There is a secret room in Gear, if you find it, you have to fight a smoke monster. If you beat the smoke monster you get Carnifex Pax and a jumpsuit that says "Workman" on it.

[*] Conclave was never destroyed. Every single seemingly overpowered character from 1.0 to now has had clave powers.

lol after reading around i thought someone said conclave was all immortals or soon to be immortals.

I think the real secret is if you wear Maddie's dress and kiss Jhaerk you can get the "Giant Lover" prefix as a guy.

How do you think Uhril got his title?

Probably the same reason you've got that extremely ... Ohio-ian avatar.

I love me some Final Fantasy! Phoenix downs are sometimes the -only- way to go....

[Guest emp_newb]

in ff8 I used to have Squall set to hit with zombie on attack (via junctioning) and then I would pheonix down ****. I made a ff8 master file, and I had lionheart (squalls final weapon) before leaving the garden after you get back from your first seed mission.

It may be hot, but it's a DRY heat.... It does horrible things to a woman's skin. Can't ya tell?

[Guest emp_newb]

I wass pretty sure that was just due to your Eskimo heritage.

The part of me that plays goodies wants to hug that bunny.

The part of me that plays evils wants to snap it's neck and swing it's corpse at people.

The part of me that plays neutrals would rather look at playboy bunnies.

Now I just have to wonder why Mindflayer is banned...he is one of my most respected players here...

Did he leave or was there some private problem?

His recent public posts seems fine...

From what I understand it's because he couldn't be parried or shield blocked.

My guess is the most recent post in Divine Mandates.

What's actually sort of messed up is that the man in the picture who developed the rabbit is in the process of developing a way to mass-produce them to solve north vietnam's food shortage problem. And an interesting old fact is that back during the days of illusionists, if your charmie had gold on it and you duplicated it the other charmie had the gold as well. Also few people probably remember that a character named Sith actually owned miruvhor at one point, he bought it for a million gold or something and I believe he came up with the idea for haymaker because a friend of his ours used to always knock people out in one punch. He doesn't play anymore though. Also, abandoned realms actually came from Carrion Fields which was the precursor to the precursor to fl. Probably one of the first DIKU muds around. I remember before there were ever cabals, the first one was actually MYSTIC which is like savant today.

Oh yeah, and I'm not very funny.

Oldskooler - So old I still use a c++ mud client. MUDMASTER forever.

think you meant north korea. kind of an eerie country. you won't see a single squirrel in a tree or bird in the sky there, they all get killed for food. but at least they have the time and money to spend on failing at rocket launching.

Oh yeah, forgot which crazy country it was, yes north korea. I love the way their crazy leader was done in Team America. America, **** yeah! Everybody has aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids, aids....aids. If you haven't seen it def check it out, it's a perfect portrayal of the US. I forget his name but I know he made everyone in the military quit smoking because he did. If that's not a reason for an uprising then I don't know what is =) I guess starvation perhaps.
