Calling all old duelers!

Post by Onyx »

Been around a while...maybe since the beginning? Got any logs of the duels? Post em!

I've been around for about ten years...give or take dead computers, exboyfriends...etc, when I was away for a little while. Alas all old logs I had from the early Power Tools days are gone. I was wondering if anyone still had theirs. Date and time stamp are a plus. It'd be a great read, not to mention adding to the histories.

It's late, I'm bored, and it was an idea.
It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality.

I'm older than most, newer than some. I want to say that I first discovered the Red Dragon Inn and Duel of Swords (under a different name, of course ;) around January or February of 1993, so that puts me a little over 11 years.

Falon was Overlord, only the 3rd, loveable little Gloin was still tending bar and calling duels, the never-to-be-rivalled British was calling challenge matches and our very own Xenograg was a fairly new Warlord ;)

Sadly, I don't have any logs...I have long since lost all the old material I once had from that era. But I agree, anyone who has old stuff would be a huge hit!

I think I've got some of my older logs rattling around on a zip-disk... The oldest I'd have would be from around the middle of Dalamar's big reign though.

Karen, whatever you have would be great. :)

I'm just trying to see who has what. That old and new duelers alike would enjoy. The histories are great, but old duel logs are the best example of a Arena/Outback/Isle time capsule.

I have logs of all folders. I once asked Tosca and several other players to allow me to use them for a new site, but never got around to do it. Maybe I should pick up that old project. It is called "The Lost Scrolls" :)

I have logged everything since my first day in the RDI/DoS, and kept the good stuff. Unfortunately, I had a major data corruption event back in 1997 which lost me almost everything before then. I cannot even prove what my WoL record was when I retired. :(

Speaking of Xeno's retirement:
https://duelingzone.org/duelarchives/vi ... php?t=1963

I, unfortunately, haven't kept anything over the years either. I know some people can still get in touch with Jona's player. She'd be my bet on who would have a nice chunk of saved logs still floating around.

However, I'm working on archiving (under the History section) the old DoS message boards. It's a slow painful process. I'm up to Oct. of '98 and I suggest you all check it out if you're ever bored. There's also a nifty "search" feature that can help sort through them.

Before I retired from the job of Standings Keeper, I had kept a list of every dueler's records (that I could verify through study of the Standings) at the point they retired. I'm reasonably sure I still have that document, since I dislike just throwing things out.

I'm also reasonably sure I have all the known saved copies of the Standings... and I remember giving copies to a few other people.

I was also a DoS Standings Keeper (until I got fired by Kairee). All of those records were lost in my data corruption. Yes, I said fired! :D

Thank you for the archive link, Rory. :: remembers the retirement party with fondness ::
