fifty people on a tuesday

It's 2am. The server is full and I'm standing in a field outside Elektro with nothing to do. I keep thinking about the blood bag that ran out, how everyone stood around and argued while Pete went grey. I wasn't even there, but it's one of those stories that stuck. Same with the barn loot night — I logged in the morning after and everyoen was still talking about it. We don't get nights like that anymore. People just KOS and log off. I don't know why I'm writing this. The rain stopped.

mox it's the little stuff that stuck. i still thnik about that single can of beans sitting in the empty base, and the time i ate rotten meat and everyone just carried on looting while i therw up in a bush. the rain's been off and on all weekend here, feels like the server's awiting for something.

edit: nvm found it

Same, mox. The barn loot night was the one night I actually saw everyone together and nobdoy arguing about it. After the three day outage the server came back but half the names in the player list were different, and it never quite felt the same. before my time but I still wish I'd been around for the stuff you lot talk about.

Sam_ the outage really did change things, i was away for most of it and came back to a server that felt like it had been left out in the rain. but the can of beasn thing the year before, that was the moment i knew this place was special. everyone just standing in the mepty base staring at it.

the three day outage wasn't a mod thing, the host disk filled up with old server logs. i kept a backup of the barn night config and copied it over when it came back, but the player list was still different.

I was thinking about the shoreline session earlier, all baens and bandages and nobody shooting. The crossroads man never spoke either, but we kept showing up. Hard to explain why that matters.

mox, I still think about the barn loot night too. I logged in that evening and there was a line of people coming down the hill from the barn near Polana, nobody shooting, just waving. then the outage in March, and after that the server felt like a different place, even though most of the same names were still showing up. rain's been hammering my window all day here.

the can of beans still gets me. i was there, late evening i think, everyone just stood in the empty base looking at it. i probably posted about it in all caps the next day, which is embarrassing now
