I had a couple characters. One died. The other was a field technician for the New Republic, then joined the Company. Then I had a Ubese bounty hunter. Lots of fun on that game. It saddens me to hear staff (I assume you are staff?) talk poorly about the players though.<br /><br />Also I remember Forge! What a punk. I remember he wouldn't let me help in a large space battle because my gunnery skill was 4D instead of 5D. He said the NPCs had better gunnery skills... I was like, it's an NPC! Let me fly, I'm a PC! But he wouldn't have it.

I joined up...I am so delighted to have found this.<br /><br />I joined up as a new character in the heyday of SW:MC MUSH. I went looking for work with the Hutts, and befriended a Quarren, who turned out to also be an Imperial Bounty Hunter, and who became a mentor over the years I played.<br /><br />My first real victory in the game was when we were parked at Yelsain, because my mentor had a contract to fill, and I met the target first, in the bar, in the belly of an AT-AT, overrun with jungle, at least that's how I remember it.<br /><br />I buttered the target up, had drinks, laughed the night away. Despite his friends warning him to show caution, this young NR technician skipped right into our ship the next day with the Quarren.<br /><br />I ended up being a Judge. But not before I became the instrument of Forge. I was that dumb, young Verpine who turned in the best pirate outfit in the cluster, right into Forge's hands. I hated myself for that.<br /><br />I went undercover for Forge for months (as I remember it), and blew the top off, and he never included me on anything. I delivered, and he disappeared.<br /><br />Until many months later he wanted to know, we'd been a good team before, would I help him again?<br /><br />What a guy.<br /><br />But, I also want to say, I found this game when I was a sophomore in high school. It was a PERFECT obsession for me at that time. Endless hours of, what was essentially, collaborative creative writing. Relationship exploration. Hard gaming.<br /><br />This was the only MUSH I ever played. I dabbled in about 4 or 5 other ones, but only ever played SW:MC. My kids are now almost the age I was when I was playing this. I grew up quite a bit in this game. Made some mistakes. Probably more than I'll ever know. But damn, the memories are so vivid.<br /><br />Thank you for putting this out there. May the force be with you!klip_twingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020865669527822740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691226717378144247.post-88523544868522635022011-09-20T13:12:30.469-07:002011-09-20T13:12:30.469-07:00Yo!

It's been ages. In a fit of nostalgia I decided to do a google search for Minos Cluster, and found your blog. It brought back some memories, mostly good, of days long gone. Anyway, just wanted to check in and say I enjoyed the read. Hope things are well, take care!Coach Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317824693854414731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691226717378144247.post-44864416024139412232009-07-16T21:13:17.665-07:002009-07-16T21:13:17.665-07:00"p.s.

He's been an NPC in your adventures more than once, and I love when the Rogues talked about that punk who came and trained with them that time.<br /><br />And on a Star Wars unrelated note: If Alexis or Diana are reading this -- I still hate YOU guys.Sharbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133081667653543755noreply@blogger.com
