Title: Blast from the Past - McNeil's Legion
Post by: Malich on 18 June 2012, 07:22:02
Back in 2003 - 2004 ish a group of board members got together to write one of the longest running, complex RPs attempted on these forums (Well, we thought so at the time)

Much of what was posted was lost in one of the great crashes of old legend. However, some posts survived and were collected. Attached here is the start of the McNeil's Legion (MNL) RP - Galatea to Landfall.

Please note, this is posted unedited and there could be dozens of spelling and grammatical errors throughout.

Wow guys, this really IS a blast from the past. I stepped away from BattleTech for a bit when other priorities in life took over and the board wipe pretty much relegated me to lurker status. I've popped in from time to time but never quite got around to being as active as I used to be.

This was THE thread to get me posting again.. such a fitting re-first post! *wipes a tear from his eye*

It's great to see everyone again! :)

NP chaps.

Get one going! THe Battle Corps one ran for a good while, but the number of people involved meant it was hard for anyone to get anything done. Keep to company sized, or battalion with each player a company, I think - you should have less inertia.

Ahhhh, when I was such a tender young fiction writer.

Thanks for posting these, Malich. Great walk down memory lane - especially since through this RP I made some great friendships that still last today.

I'm contemplating running something on here once my workload eases at the end of this month. Let's definitely keep in touch.

Oh, see, you guys start talking about doing something like this again, and I start getting all sentimental about it.

Should the Legion rise again (or something of a similar quality) I'd be more than happy to jump in and play/help.

I spent an afternoon going back through these when i found them. Then went on to the stiff i Did for BC, Truehart's True Hearts, The original Erik Vale RP Challenge thread.

Ah, good times. :)

Ditto on the rebirth of the Legion. Would be interesting to get something similar up and running again! :)

Not sure i'd like to rebuild the legion... but that's the kind of depth of character / detail i crave.

I know what you mean. That was something of a golden age of it's very own kind, wasn't it? Ah, but I reminisce too much.
