> I hope, Immortals, that you see what you have wrought on the world. Oh, I know how it starts...
> Phase I. Two roomies get together, steal some code, and start a wacky world.
> Phase II. A third guy helps out with a few ideas (hey, let's put a warrior and thief in), and he expands the idea a bit.
> Phase III. The third guy's girlfriend adds some crappy ideas (Let's add druids. Yeah they suck, but think of the rp!)
> Phase IV. The second roomie inherits $200. He buy $150 a pot, and whilst have way through it, decides to spend his last $50 on a 8088 and a 20 meg harddrive.
> Phase V. Through various LSD tripping and whatnot, this simple game is developed into a halfway interesting game.
> Phase VI. Nepenthe is kicked out of Medical school for stealing cadavers and smoking them, and resorts to living of his parent's fortune (they developed the "Dukes of Hazard" series) by vowing to spend many long, hard years building up a reputation as a trustworthy immortal, then one day viciously invokes a PWIPE and runs away into the hills with his millions and laughs..and laughs...and laughs.
> Phase VII. Twist gets sick of all the paranoidal-delusional emails from Graham and kill himself in a most noble fashion, and runs to the jungles of El Bispo. Unfortunately, Graham being computer insightful, follows him there and kills them both in a strange coconut-involved pummeling.
> Phase VIII. Cador realizes that there is no honor in the mud population. He begins to spouts "Fuck you all", and in an intense stream of fuck you's to the general world, he explodes into a mass of 1's and 0's.
> Phase IX. Jullias, upon realizing what a bunch of crap the mud has become, says, "ah fuck it", shuts the computer off, and leads a normal life.
> Phase X. (Where we're at now)...the rest of the stupid bastards sit at Dioxide's web pages waiting for scraps and bits. Someone writes, "I think the mud is coming up!" and tens of thousands of retards simultaneously try to login to CF, creating such a disturbance in the net that a spasm of electricity is sent to the Center for Disease Control, releasing a deadly virus, killing all mankind.

> Except for one.

> One man, who to protect his identify, is called SokoLOV, and he alone lives in the world. He and his pc. He and his pc..and his core code of a program that promises races of drows and dwarves and silly-ass woodelves. Of classes of warriors and paladins and silly-ass liches.

> And lo, he did raise his arms to the heavens.

> And lo he did call his creation..."DEATHFULL"
