I wonder what these forums were like, before the reset crashed into out community. The old forums is not a subject for polite company. Talk of the old kingdoms was usually reserved to hushed whispers in the dark alleys of meme posts or, allegedly, during the gruesome proceeding of esoteric Serpenti cults.
Perhaps, the old forums were more habitable, less lethal, and more organized. How utterly boring that would be. No, the old forums were a jungle of memes and salt. Before zg4ry, blessed with the divine power Prime Moderator Ryvirath, created “We Need a Fixed Place to Post Duelyst Memes” to banish the more… unsavory aspects of our community to, the only law that governed our memes was that of natural selection. Rogue memers stormed the forums, derailing balance threads about Songhai into Kentucky Fried Phoenix joints. Legend has it that what is now the “Monthly Card Design Contest” thread was once the Abyss knows as the “Key Request Mega Thread,” filled with the crushed dreams of a thousand dead plebeians.
Some heretical cults believe that some of these old forum users still walk amoungst us. Many have claimed that, on moonless nights, shades of the old kingdom can be seen congregating in the courtyard of Tavern Duelyst to share Orange Juice and Bread. Still others have the audacity of suspecting that the upper echelons of our society are composed of these time-lost Delystst. How dare they utter such blasphemy! How I would love to prove them right…
Whatever the case, I would like to meet one of these old Duelysts, though they would barely be of the right mind to give an interview. After their universe was shattered, they were left orphaned, forced to suffer through the Purgatory that is Reddit in order to get their dose of memes. Who knows what that would do to a Duelyst. The thought of that brings butterflies to my tummy.
Oh what a sight to behold, the destruction and recreation of the universe. It was like watching Valhalla fall. What could be more beautiful and heinous at the same time? Aveond-sama, I have done it. The re-creation of the universe went just as planned. Storm Aratha, Kinetic Coil…
