      @Pavel that’s the one. And if you look at his “permission” letter, it’s more like “if you… really want to do that, I guess you can go ahead?”

      I am/was tek. If this means something to you, do as you see fit with this knowledge.

        Blood of Dragons is another one of those places where, if I think about how long it’s been up and running, the brain boggles. But there’s no accounting for taste when it comes to paying server bills.

          @Pavel I don’t think they sue people over running other games, but they do make a big deal about being the only REAL one.

          You might be conflating their irritating crowing about being GRRM’s BFFs with their harassing Tasteless Descs and WORA into taking down Nymeria’s desc.

            They definitely threatened at least one potential game with legal action; I don’t think they actually followed through with it, but a letter was sent and everything. I would say who the screen name is of the person who got it, but I, uh, only remember their real name any more. -.- Somebody I know got it though!! They didn’t sue, but sent a ‘you must stop this’ letter.

              @IoleRae Innnnnnteresting. I don’t have a memory of that, just how they would get snotty.

              I definitely remember her freaking the fuck out about her desc being posted. That was when the community jumped off Proboards (or Vboards or whatever we were using) and onto self-hosted stuff. IIRC, she wound up harassing the upstream provider of that host until it was easier to just take the desc down.

                Wasn’t it that they tried to pursue legal action against Peverel (and maybe Rasheem?), for them refusing to take down the post of Nymeria’s desc in the ‘tasteless descs’ forum on WORA/SWOFA? Which is why the forum kept moving hosts?

                I can go bother Hate-o-tron and see if he remembers.

                  I definitely remember some incarnation of WORA being hosted in Malaysia because of Nymeria.

                  We were soldiers once, and young.

                    Woof, the old days.

                    No lie though, that desc was terrible.

                      @Cobalt Yuuuuuup. We jumped off the freehosting stuff onto someone’s host in some random country, and she still pestered those people. I cannot recall if Peverel was hosting it at the time or just trying to help out 'cause lawyer?

                      I very clearly remember her stupid “emeraldine silk” desc, though. All her tantrum did was burn that shit into my memory for life.

                        @KarmaBum I think it was Lolth that took over hosting at some point because she was basically like “I’m not in the US, good luck suing me!”

                              @GF I wish I had it archived somewhere. The last version of it I saw was on WORA and was translated into Swedish Chef in order to avoid her stupid take-down bullshit.

                              I know there were “orbs” where her eyes should be, and there was definitely “emeraldine silk” in her gown. But it wasn’t even really all that bad. It would’ve disappeared from collective memory by now if she hadn’t had a temper tantrum.

                                  This is like listening to grandpa tell war stories.

                                  I wish you would.

                                      ETA: I’ve spent far, far too long looking at archive.org, alas they don’t have the individual wiki pages for all the famed personae of that era.

                                          I’m still waiting for the point where we can all gather around the fire and reminisce about Bane stories.
