For me, I think Rasputin from Dolohov family Roleplays got me excited :P

'Cause my stupid friends were playing it and talking about it non-stop. :P ;D
-
My friend told me I was too immature to enjoy this game, so I played this to spite him.
(His family name was Thunderstrike)
-
August 2003, I came across this game looking for something besides my usual RP games and I stopped here.
-
Earlier this year for a history assignment we had to make a coat of arms. I was doing a wolf head and looked on the 'net for inspiration and found the O'Faolain crest, looked at the wiki, then joined.

The irony is almost palpable.
On topic, I saw this game mentioned on bay12 forum, tried it, liked it.
-
I got an email from Tom saying "I've created a small side game to run alongside SpellMaster, can you help me test it out..."
-
And so he's been luring us to a new game ever since. ;) I was rather enjoying the web Shopkeeper testing awhile back.
I can't particularly remember how I found the game, I know I was actively searching for something interesting and this is the only online game I've returned to time and again. Probably on some directory of browser games. I remember being intrigued by the idea of political simulation mentioned on the 'Quotes from Players' page.
I do remember how Exiled Family found the game, from a mention on IRC. He was looking for BattleMaster tanks, and found us. Anaris found us when BM got slashdotted in 2004.
There have been quite a few bay12-sourced players over the years. The BM-related threads haven't been updated lately either, I remember noticing some months back when I was still paying attention to such Social Media things...
Dolohov's roleplays are awesome. I wouldn't mind some folks emulating his style.

Not quite. I was idly (and generally) interested in trying to get into a beta for something at the time (which, as you say, was early January 2004), and saw Tom's sig on Slashdot, which, at the time, read:
"Back in beta (too many new features): BattleMaster"
It sounded intriguing. So I tried it.
-
I sifted through many RP game directories, which constantly brought up repeated results. There was only one directory I found (can't remember which) which had Battlemaster listed. It stood out to me because it hadn't came up in any of the previous searches. I was specifically looking for something that was simple and not heavily graphical.
This game was the first time I ever experienced roleplay in its true written sense. It was very different to me, like no other game I have come across. I became intrigued by the roleplay aspect. I always get bored with games after a time, but Battlemaster is the only game I ever return to.

Yes, this is also what I find interesting in Battlemaster, it's not like really any other RP game I've seen. There is no drive to ruin the other person's roleplay but instead make a better one together.
In other communities people do everything possible to gain the advantage over the rules to always "win". In Battlemaster, this is not a very big issue. It is a game for people who like to read and tell stories, it is a game for strategists and politicians. It's truly unique.

Was looking for a text based RPG to help me learn sentence structures and etc. It has made be write pretty much as often as possible. Helped me a lot.

Bump

I love to reread Dolohov roleplays all over again and again. I even tried to write my roleplays in game by learning from his style ;)

I was one of those friends. My origins remain clouded, vague. I was born with Battlemaster.

joshua braaaaains! so excellent

I started playing because my friends in University started playing. Ten years later and I'm the only one still playing.
Some of you may remember the Rogala family of the "I can't believe it's not butter" fame. He was one of the people that got me playing.

Thought he was from University of Manitoba or something :o
-
Yup he was! Same university as me.

Well you are living in my city LOL

Then I might actually know you lol.
What's your real name?
-

You don't know me. I can guarantee you that much. I met Andrew though the guy who used to rule Melhed and who sat beside Rogala family player when he was doing 'I can't believe it's not butter'.
-
Yeah Andrew and Remy. Love those guys.
You sure I don't know you?
Are you Pat?

You won't know me because I only met Andrew once lol. You might know Andriy though.

Lol, so I assume you were not a regular of the anime club then. Still, small world!

Nope. I just changed my school to UofM. So no lol I don't even know what clubs UofM has.
Doubt I will get into any...

If you're interested in them you just need to show up and go to them, that's about it.

Now that is a problem I have. I am extremely lazy.... Showing up sounds like too much work...

Trust me, it's usually worth it. Being in the anime club at Virginia Tech found me something like 12 new shows that I would never would have heard of otherwise. And an equal number that I wouldn't have thought I would like.

I was recruited by the Ridder family to help in take Paisly and/or D'Hara with Rynn, my first character, but it was RP with Jonsu Himoura that made me stay.
-
I started first, in 2006, invited by Rian Voogt that I met at Renaissance Kingdoms.
I started at Taselak I think in the middle of a war and was too much for me. RK was too consuming.
Came back at 2009, invited by Tali, Sacha and Song, time when Asena and Pian-en-Luries were so active, and funny, and interesting that I could not stop playing.
Now life is so busy and difficult that I can barely log in twice a day, what cause my chars at BT to be arrested a lot. But I still love BM and don't want to stop to play.

I was asked to join by a very lovely lady. She told me about how there was a great place for player interaction and strategy. Two of my favorite things. I got started in various realms and found myself enjoying it. A great group of players who worked together. I haven't really found that as much recently (unfortunately), but I keep hoping to recapture some of what was lost by the sinking of my favorite island.
