As per request the D section comes early. I just know you have all found yourself glued to your seats, eagerly awaiting each dramatic and lip-biting release. So, without further rambling.. I give you.. the D‘s.
Dai-san: Dai really only posted twice. So unfortunately, all I can tell you is that he was both a member of OSW (Order of the Silver Wolves) and D0M (I have no idea). Nothing really mentionable here.
DanGarion-PRC: Dan really needs no introduction. If you’re here reading this post you know all about Dan, and there is nothing I can really tell you that would be shocking or surprising. Someone recently asked me “considering all the trouble and heart break the PRC© brought you, do you think it was worth it?”. The only honest answer I can give to that question is “everything else aside, the best thing about the PRC© for me was the friendship I developed with Dan”. Over the last six or so years Dan has gone from being a friend I made on the internet to being the closest thing to a brother I’ll ever know. Professional relationship aside, Dan is one of the most important people in my life.
On the matter of Dan’s impact on the PRC©, the only thing I can say that would come close to summarizing said impact is this. Without Dan I have no doubt that I would’ve lost steam years ago. Not to mention Dan’s constant drive to improve the security of the site as well as its professional look. Everything I know about web development and design has been a direct result of Dan pushing the PRCs’© technology forward. Dan truly is one half of the whole drive behind the PRCs’© long running success.
Danny Ocean: I always thought Danny was laughing at the PRC© behind the facade he presented on the forums. He never seemed to have control of his own guild, and his actions never seemed to truly have the best interests of the community in mind. Maybe Danny was one of those types of people who just have to be liked by everyone. I don’t know, you’d figure his position in FL would be counter-productive to such a condition. Either way I trusted Danny Ocean about as far as I could throw him, and I really let that out through my ghost-writer.
Darkfox: A USO member that I never really got to know. He was promoting some attempt at re-opening the Green Gryphon (to which I was strongly opposed), but other then that I cannot remember much about him. Seemed to be the catalyst for a few anti-OTW threads on the forums relating to an existing in-game war at the time.
Darklock: Athric Circle GM and a good friend of mine. Sure, Darklock was an ass most of the time but he was a lovable ass. I’m not sure what happened to Darklock, as the last time I spoke with him was 2003. Darlock had a bit of an ego, but he his heart was pure gold. I recall he was also one of the people on Jennae Kynn’s shitlist around the time of her emotional breakdown. Darklock and I shared a few laughs about the situation over some drinks at ElF Meet 2003 (I believe). One of the few people that could’ve made UO fun for me again.
Dark OTW: Crazy kid, and one time GM of OTW. Dark was one of batch of OTW members that I really, really miss. Along with JAWS, those two always knew how to make me laugh. I’m honestly not sure what happened to Dark. He just seemed to fade away one day. One might assume that the drama with Jennae left a bad taste in his mouth, but who am I to say? I just call it like I see it.
DemonWolf: Another former OTW member, and another guy guilty of behind-my-back flirting with Sabrae. Like I said earlier, I can’t really blame him. DemonWolf always seemed like a nice guy, and I’m pretty damn sure I treated him with less respect then he deserved. Either way, DemonWolf was very active in the PRCs’© earlier days and faded away over the last three years. Yet another throwback to the YaBB SP1 days.
Demyss OTW: I always thought the Demyss character captured the true side of Jennae Kynn’s player. As mentioned earlier, later on in Jennae’s time with the PRC© her behavior quickly became harmful to the community as a whole. Blinded by her unsubstantiated rage towards myself (and later on towards Dan), she frequently made posts or comments directed soley at damaging me by proxy through the PRC©. Later on that rage ended up costing her a great deal of friends, and all but destroying the OTW guild. Honestly I have no idea where Jennae is today.
Denvrai: I completely missed the coming and the departure of Denvrai. The potential in Denvrai’s stories and actions today seems limitless. Unfortunately I was not there to focus the spotlight on Denvrai’s actions, and at the time (as it was usually) no one was bothering to contribute to the front page news. It was things like this (Denvrai losing steam and eventually fading away) that slowly ate away at my passion for sustaining the roleplaying community on Pacific. Wherever Denvrai is now, I’m certain fun and engaging rp is continuing on.
deZ: Alternate character for Zed? Honestly not sure what the story was behind this, but the login was used solely for two in character posts.
Diana Stormcloud: I could be wrong about this, but I believe Diana was a member of ElF. If not at least one of what I like to call the “ElF elitists”. Diana being less of an elitist then most of that crowd, but she still didn’t post that often. Usually her posts entailed supporting one of Sarlock’s rants against the community in defense of ElF. I don’t want to lump Diana in with the majority of ElF. There are far louder voices in that corus.
Diomedes: Case in point. An elitist to the last. Diomedes was an outspoken opponent of the PRC©. Even so far as to on more then one occasion make his dislike and distaste towards the site very, very public. Honestly I’m glad he only posted three times on the PRC©, because his “holier then thou” attitude was nothing but bad mojo for the community as a whole. Given the opportunity I wouldn’t hesitate to sack-tap this sorry sonuva bitch. Not a single god-damn positive idea or comment ever came out of his mouth (unless it was directed towards ElF). So good riddance I say.
Dolby_Rix_OSW: GM of OSW. Only posted twice, really seemed to have very little drive to participate in the community. His loss I say. After all, we *loves* us some wolves.
Draven_Dremaul: USO member, very few posts. Which is unfortunate, because from what I’ve heard of the man he was fun to be around and a good roleplayer. Even if he did rip off my Black Hand character’s first name. =^_^=
And here we are again at the close of a section. I hope you enjoyed yourselves, I know I did. I’ll catch you all later for some hot E on F action.
