History of TG

**Sir-Nerd** · 04-02-2008, 05:02 PM

For those who have been here since the very beginning (or close to it) how was this place as it first started.

**TheSkudDestroyer** · 04-02-2008, 05:06 PM

Hookers and Blow.

No, I'm serious, that's where all the money goes.

Lol, all I can say is it was a long time ago. Probably the only who could really answer this would be Apophis, himself. Also, it would be nice to see a little "history" bit in the "Community FAQ", which the link to in the tool bar seems to be inactive.

**Apophis** · 04-02-2008, 06:14 PM

It's actually in our Wiki. You can read about our history here.

**TheSkudDestroyer** · 04-02-2008, 06:48 PM

I CTRL+F'd

There's no hookers or blow.

TG was in the cradle when I was probably 5 years old and such! Wow

Unknown to most people, William of Normandy first attempted to invade England in 1063. It was a total cockup, Frenchmen were running willy nilly all over the place trying to get kills, cap Londinium, and get phat loot. William had to flee back across the channel. In the winter of 63-64, William founded Ye Olde Tactycal Gamere at one of his castles in Normandy to train his warriors, who were farmers first and warriors second, to perform teamwork and tactics like standing in a big line and throwing spears at people, riding their horses in the same direction, and not teamkilling their buddies to get the warhorse when the server came up. It was a wild success, and in the spring of 1066 William conquered England at the Battle of Hastings by using rapid capping, VOIP, and teamwork.

I was 5 yeesh.

Funny that Skud mentions hookers and blow. He must have seen the AFD thread where Cing was "taking his leave" because Apophis was mismanaging SM funds and spending it all on hookers and blow. Oddly enough, I cant find that thread anymore.

And it's not just a list of BS we've done in the past. It's a chronicling of our rise TO POWER!!!

Remarks like this make me feel so old. I go look at the date in the wiki, thinking it started in 1980 or something. No such luck. It was just more than a decade ago.

I think I'll go back and sit in my rocker with my lap blanket....

Well, I had to cut the history off somewhere, but I could trace it back to the late 80's.

When I was 5, Gemini was in orbit. The Vietnam war was just getting started. Computers weighed tons. Parents thought the Beatles were a controversial band and hated their kids listening to them. Only the rich kids had color TV. A good TV image was full of static and that only if you held the rabbit ears just so.

And we hated listening to our grandparents go on and on about what life was like 50 years earlier, with no cars and no electricity and no indoor plumbing.
