THE PRODUCERS strike again (my code dump is ded)

I never realized it was silver. I always assumed it was "silver", like the silver scorpion goblets, which looked like the real thing but were actually laminated wood.

That character had a really colorful life, though.

He took control of a half-demon pleasure slave from Nenyuk, which was an active clan at the time that handled apartment and house rentals. Yes, you could rent houses and yes, if you had the influence and the money, you could get more than two keys for your procession of mates, friends, friends mates and everyone who stole the key, since they didn't automagically reset every time someone else took over the property, meaning clever thieves could (and did) have key rings with keys to almost every player rental property in the game.

He had the last armed noble house stand-off in the games history, in the Traders, with Oash I think. It was like battle lines forming up, weapons out. A very cool scene. Even the frilly Aides had their daggers out, ready to rumble.

At one point, he was tasked with disciplining some bratty noble girl who was running around embarrassing her house, like he had some kind of golden pimp hand.

There was a literal coalition of nobles and merchants who wanted to kill him out of jealousy, because he would sit around in taverns, with his grotesque sword, ruined face and disgusting physique, entertaining all the noblewomen, aides and more or less every well-to-do with a vagina. The flirting alone was absurd and sometimes occupied two, even three tables. He was actually banging a Borsail nobleman, if I remember right.

It might have been his Borsail noble that was banging the Oashi lord, though. Basically, he banged a lot of noblemen, is what I'm getting at.

He was involved in some sorcery, but I'm not too sure to what extent. Nothing compared to the notable Oashi at the time, though.

There's a lot more on top of that, which made life all but impossible for the Warlords/ladies that followed in his footsteps, because no one could quite live up to his legend. There was a Warlady who did really well, after she teamed up with a Templar played by Ysania... until the both of them were outplayed by the former Warlords new Borsail noble. The Templar was killed by those politics and her corporal (same one who wore the silver earrings/ring) disappeared without a trace. The Warlady faded and I don't remember how she died, or if she died.

He was such an amazing Warlord and balanced the politics and clan agenda so perfectly, they had to retire the role. No one else could sell it.

The player, Clegane if I recall correctly, was one of the better and more controversial players the game had and as far as I know, left the game over a dispute with the staff at the time.

I preferred his Kadian, though. It takes some guts to hinge your murder plot on the whims of a mekillot.

People have fallen in love playing Armageddon, now comes our first shadowboards marriage, I guess.

A detailed analysis of how he came to be blacklisted because of foiling Sanvean’s plot to destroy Allanak and empower the gypsies would be interesting, too. AFAIK, he was allowed to play some nobles/leadership characters after that but never had much karma at all restored, despite it being ancient history.

Earlier, more like 2001 era

I heard the story from clegane in person at dcon '01 or '02. Basically he had a chance to foil a plot with a maxxed assassin he was playing. He backstabbed one of 4 maxxed sorcerers which were "required" to destroy allanak. By killing the one they couldn't connect their powers or something and bring the city to ruin. Granted im going off my shitty memory but it was something along those lines, him backstabbing and insta-killing a maxxed gypsy sorcerer that was needed to finish the spell that would destroy the city.
