Eight years of HC

Another year, another Mvass anniversary. I've been here for 8 years. As recently as a year ago, the worst thing the Wastelands had was Dragon Cave. Now the pony scourge has descended upon HC, which shows how much /b/ has deteriorated - they went from exposing animal abusers to watching a children's television show. People like DS brought that plague here.

In other news, this year has seen me being accused of playing devil's advocate. I find that a strange accusation, because my views have been consistent for at least the past 2 years, so I don't see what evidence my accusers have that I don't really believe what I say I believe. Capitalism (free markets and property rights [including self-ownership], not corporatism and imperialism), materialism (there is nothing beyond the physical world), virtue ethics (including but not limited to pillar theory), and egoism (rational self-interest) are all things I genuinely believe in.

By this time next year I will have tried H6. It seems it isn't exactly like H5, even though they're similar artistically. But we still won't have WoG 3.59.

I haven't been here for two years... Sorry.

Hell, I haven't even been here one year.

Happy anniversary.

That coincides with the time I've been here.

Your post is much less detailed this year. How come?

Edit: I personally think this is a sort of post, which is obviously tavern material. I think it's an important aspect to be able to look back to older anniversary posts. Beside it has something to do with the interactions of the board and not real life, so it would not really fit in any other of the subforums, as I see it, yet it's really suited for the tavern.

Mostly because everything I said last year applies this year as well, and I didn't want to repeat myself.

I'm just wondering what exactly is the point of these threads? If anything, I would have made them on the 5 year and then 10 year as those, to me, would mean more than an 8 year anniversary or a 9 year one. Also, I doubt many people care.

I'm just wondering what exactly is the point of asking what exactly the point is? If anything, I would have asked only had the point been relevant for the thread, as that to me makes more sense than asking whenever. Also, I doubt many people care.

Sorry, - I could not resist. I see these questions so many times lately that they've become a bit frustrating. Not that I personally mind your question, but they're often asked in a way which is not very polite, on a subject where such question really have nothing to do.

I myself really like that he does this. Though I still don't like this years version due to too little detail, it gives an insight in how Mvass have seen any given year of HC, which is nice, because often our memory of the past changes, so when we go back and look, we can't even recognize what we see, anymore.

But its his oppinion! ITS IMPORTANT DONT YOU SEE!? Everytime he perfectly captures the state of HC, sharing his endless wisdom with us and interpreting the situation for the lesser minded that do not see for themselves what its really like.

I'd just have thought that instead of it being done every single year, why not wait a few years before doing it again. I only say this because then there is more to add. Nothing really exciting has even happened in the past year so it doesn't give much insight into how Mvass' year has been. Forum hasn't been nearly as exciting as it used to be a few years ago so really, what's to add?

Really? I thought this year was pretty damn interesting.

We've got Nightterror outbreaks, trolls spamming the **** out of the forums, H6 is close so we've had a lot of interesting discussions about that...
We've got new moderators, among which CORRIBUS AS OSM MODERATOR must be mentioned, which has made the OSM quite an enjoyable place to lurk at actually.

Ehh... and a lot more stuff. Probably doesn't compare to the golden years or something but ya know... a few years from now we'll be complaining about that time not being as good as the one we have now.

Nostalgia is often kinda blind.

I love how you put Nighty outbreaks separate to the troll spamming

But I agree this year was quite exiting, besides we need to plant the seeds before we can harvest

So everything just gets worse with time then? The decline of the western civilization as shown through the Heroes Community's chronicles.

Now it's a time for barbarians and tomorrow for wasteland scavengers, and that suits me just fine.

Oh by the way, to OP and anyone else: Reflect on all of those years wasted erm, I mean spent on this forum. What have you got out of them? I'm just curious...

My vocabulary and english improved, rather then degraded, which is rather confusing. .


Besides it's time well spent, since I have no regrets .
