played the standalone for an hour and feel weird

Server's quiet tonight. Sat here past 1am and counted the names on the player list. Was remembering the fifty nights in 2015, how everyone described it after — the full server, the admins working while we played. I only ever heard about it. Same with the kid on voice, everyone stopping to listen instead of shooting. That story's older now than the kid was at the time, probably. Nobody's on direct chat to tell it fresh. Logging off.

mox, that 2015 full-server night is before my time but the green mountain drae always felt the same way to me. I heard it told a dozen times by people who were there, never quite the same twice. The only one I actually saw was the barn loot night, and even that feels like a story now. Wish I'd been around for the rest.

Sam, I got the green mountain story the same way — secondhand, and by then it had been told enough times that the details felt worn smooth. I remember somebody bringing it up on the way to Stary Sobor once, not even as a story, just as a marker of who had been there. I never had that. I joined late enough that the big nights were already the past tense. The shoreline session is the closest I get — I heard about it the next day, and it sounded like something that happened in a different version of the server. Still does. The player list is down to seven now, and it's raining outside my window. Hard to tell which is emptier.

mox i know that feeling, i was there for 2013 and still only ever caught the big nights secondhand. only one i was actually around for was the bean can in the raided base. the whole group stnading in a circle looking at it, nobody even said anything for a minute

teddybear, the bean can one is the story I keep coming back to. nobody ever explains what was in the can or why it mattered; the telling just stops at the circle and that's the whole thing. The closest I've felt to that was the abrn loot night, when everyone went quiet at once realising what the barns were full of. Did anyone end up picking the can up, or did it just stay there?
