37818, How did carrionfields come to be? Poll.
Posted by wikataw on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Who were the original creators.

Did they go to the same school?

Online buddies?

How did you first market the game.

Who were those creators handles in game.

Who of the original staff is still around?

Did jullias always have control of the box? Who actually owns Carrionfields.

I read something about Thror having to run some things Through twist
and a bunch of imms if he ever wanted to take out rager parity and
make it ganky(This was just a theory)

Why did Gadinias Flop out so fast? Tell me the truth, Did he remort?


Twist, why did you leave cf for a long time? Do all 60lvl imps have
equal say in the game? Does carrionfields run as a democracy?
Why is Thror not a higher level imm.. Who are active immortals that don't actually play anymore? Lastly... How long do you think we can keep this thing going?

I've played for 3 months with one hand(cast). With no glasses in the library(for 5 months and I have bad vision). From work, from the hospital, from a house I broke into.(Just kidding.)

>Who were the original creators.
This is on the login screen.

>Did they go to the same school?
Don't think so. Maybe Yuval and Matt did.

>Online buddies?
More likely.

>How did you first market the game.
alt.rec.mud.diku, a newsgroup about DIKU-based MUDs.

>Who were those creators handles in game.
Yuval Oren = Derit.
Matt Hamby = BoltThrower, Rahvin, ShaidarHaran, and more mortals that have kicked my ass than I even know about. :)
Barbara Hargrove = Galadriel/Nordewin

>Who of the original staff is still around?
Matt and Barbara are still around on rare occasion. Derit hasn't been involved in CF for a very long time.

>Did jullias always have control of the box? Who actually owns
>Carrionfields.
No, Jullias wasn't around until CF was at least 5 years old, I think. Carrion Fields is an LLC, with several Implementors having a percentage of ownership.

Thror would have to run things by the various game balance Imms, and I happen to be one of them.

>remort?
Not sure, I wasn't around at that time, but I don't believe he remorted.

I was burned out by negativity by players, and also felt as if I wasn't contributing at the time.
There are currently 4 semi-active IMPs - Zulg, Daevryn, me, and Valguarnera. I'd say we all have an equal say for the most part. We generally agree on most items.
I won't comment on Thror's status, that is between he and the IMPs. I will say he's doing a fine job and isn't the level he is as any form of punishment or anything. We have pretty specific forms that we follow for advancement and he's right on track as far as I know.
Wizlist should give a pretty accurate list of who is active, for the most part.
CF will live on as long as there are a few people who want to play it.

And your nickname is "Lucky" I bet.

I think a very nice outline of cf history was done on Pico's forum. If I remember correctly, Matt and the others met on a game called, Pools of Blood. They left Pools of Blood and created Carrionfields.

Now if you could just give my mage % bumps like you over 10 years ago when I accidently targeted/slew myself and lost 15% spell.
37858, Oh that's nothing

I was in Masters when Twist and another imm were fighting for kicks, and their imm level scourge nailed me and I died and lost exp, and then a full loot because the village was raiding at the time.
