what is this page about

[Heron]

This thread is for players of the previous MW iterations and old FWL community to reconnect.

I started on GEnie in '93, and was recruited into House Marik at Gen Con '96 by HL Tequila, who followed Ito, who followed BlackAdder, who followed Fenris.

When Ito was asked by Kesmai to HL on Gamestorm, he offered me the position of HXO. I had been a Merc most of my career and was well versed in the art of recruiting and training pilots. Special thanks to my mentor Lore Master Reaper <WDMC>, the finest Solaris pilot on GEnie. At that time, there were a few old timers in communication with us, but we were the only two active FWLers on Solaris! <G>

I recruited Keych and Frodo and from there, the House Marik that most of you have been associated with was born.
After about a year, we (all of us!) had built the house up to being the largest and most well trained faction in MPBT history, with over 3000 members. Kesmai, under pressure from the Davion good ole boys club, told us to do something that has never been requested of a house, cut the number of members in House Marik, or they would replace us (with Davs). Heartbroken, we did the only thing that seemed to make sense. The Allison Training Institute. As intended, a small percentage of members left, but the vast majority stepped up to the plate and proved their dedication to House Marik.

Then Kesmai decided to let us know that 3025 was shelved.

Ito and I, thoroughly burned out from the daily grind of 8+ hours a night, countless betrayals and constant attempts at power grabs from unenlightened miscreants, retired, leaving the House in Frodo's capable hands. <BG>

Crash deserves the most credit, I think, because he and his team gave new life to Gamestorm MPBT (for all Houses!) in its darkest hours.

So, take pride my fellow Leaguers! We have a very long and proud tradition of besting our foes, whatever form they may take. We are truly and have always been the people's House. We don’t take pride in destroying our opponents, we take pride in knowing that they secretly wish that they had the guts to join us.

I would like to add that I do not advocate rounding up and organizing everyone who wishes to wear the House banner. We don't know what the new game will be like, and there are many House Marik groups out there that dont know us. I suggest that we form a unit, that lets everyone know who we are without implying that we intend to run the house. Our intention should simply be to re-unite with old friends and look forward to playing the game.

[Kabutodude]

Wow, lots of familiar names. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to fight alongside all of you once again <S>

[Rot]

Started in MPBT on Aol, then Limewire, then to Gamestorm. I was a member of the Desert Rats <DRs> if anyone remembers that lol. After those I bounced around and eventually was a developer on the ISW project.

Good to see you..

Hope this gets off the ground better than Solaris, Gamestorm, MPBT 3025 and other incarnations than we have played before.

[ShoveI]

Ito, I really do think this is going to happen this time around Been a long time since you recruited me and my unit into *M* back on aol lol.

Howdy Nehrul!

Finally indeed. I was looking up EGA screenshots to show my GF, and the only one I could find was posted on this forum.

[Mechbeth]

SharClaws and Hawk009 are playing Eve, have chatted many times with both of them, Wlkabout is still in Austin, bump into him occasionally on FB. Evul was getting married I believe last I spoke and he had his headhunting job, but that was 12 years ago? Personally, I spend most of my time now playing WoTanks.

Hey Sandman. When were you active in House Marik? I was active from like 88 - 93/94. Was around when the other Nighthawk was House Leader. I remember BlackAdder. Those were the days. Im still recovering from the CC bills I think :-)

It was the ending days of genie.net right before the game went dark if I remember correctly. Honestly I don't remember the exact time frame, maybe the last year or so that the game was active. It was either that or about the 94s time frame. I remember being in high school around the time frame so it would have put it up to the '96 year.

[Mindstormer]

I played MPBT:3025 while I could and MWLL under the call sign of Doomgiver (Creative right? )
Amazing that I actually do recognise a few names here and there across the forums.

I still play MWLL as Mindstormer if you want to try and catch me while i'm online.
