Vortex was only ever a throwaway account. Similar with this Lars one, really, I made it originally here to just troll under the radar in the disc board. Gradually it became a character in its own right and I ended up posting as it more than my former name. I like Lars.

Isn't Bioshock steampunk? I'd imagine that means it the least creative.
One of those series I need to give a shot though. I havent played tonnes on PS3. Got the 3 Mass Effect games months ago, need to finish the second and complete the third.

I'm trying to get the RB archives in order and came across a few 2003 Vortex topicals. Cunts writing topicals and I was 11 at the time haha.

LOL Vortex was my old Camarac and Baron Mynd accounts finally merged together back when The End and Alldig first arrived as admins.
The site hadn't long gone through one of its crashes (2002) and when it reappeared all posts/threads/accounts were no more. Approximate post counts were reinstated and the admins at the time had a thing about people with multiple accounts. They only wanted you to use one. I had my name changed to Vortex with a weird purple looking anime figure that moved. Following the site crash, Word Perfect was no more and we instead regrouped as "Past Present Phuture" or "P3". I'm sure Witty knew this was me though, we've been crew since way back. One of the best topical collectives to ever pass through RB. The roster was stacked with Maven, Soulstice, Witty, Kwality, Sand, Phrantik, me, Madman , Jay Cyph, Kredit, Quotient , Tone-E etc I still have Sand, Jae and Tone on my FB. Known those guys a decade and beyond!

Reading back to those days though, Sand, Phrantik and Mad Man weren't that good. I'm giving up on sorting the SS's history out though. Too all over the place. They restarted the league like 5 times in 2003-2004 with no winners.

At the same time, there was a thread in there about RB Vs RM in 2003. You were a big fan of RM for the record :D. I checked out their old league (which I know used to be amazing) and even in 2003 the guys you were talking about like Athiest and WWII were fairly solid.
It seems like "sure things will have advanced, it's years later" but to be fair that's like claiming the stories in movies are getting better or something. Topicals are just about the story anyways.

RM became my homesite more so than RB around that time.
I fucked with RB heavy from 1999-2002. The RSTL had more topical heads, and with it, the more top tier talent. People around the web would always say to me "You only win so much at RB because it's your homesite, go to RM and see how well you do". So I did. The rest is history. A lot of what I'll call "RB's" heads had left at that point for RhymeNReason with Jay Krupp. (heads like I.E, Atheist, listen, Goat26, Black Flame, Epidemikk etc)

Atheist is one of the best, most natural storytellers I've seen.
WWIII was more heavily mechanics based, maybe too much in my opinion now, but back then he stood out with that style. He was a pioneer considering the heads like Dahlohner, InsaneVillain, Blackmage etc
