I recently found myself swaying gently in front of the Quarty library, entranced and drawn to the fever pitched groans echoing from within. I found a chance to acquire knowledge, through the consumption of Charles Darwin's brains. While I do regret that the removal of his brains proved fatal, I had to know more, since I had recently read "The Voyage of the Beagle" by none other than Charles Darwin himself. I was pondering the richly detailed anthropology of the flora and fauna of South America when I was asked to give a lecture by SweetIrony on the early days of Urban Dead, specifically the rise of The Many. Since she was the first and only person in over a year that had said anything about The Many, I decided to share my knowledge of the early days with your group. I guess a secondary reason is that I am a librarian in real life (I work on the restoration of rare books and documents).
In an ideal world, I would give this lecture in game, but there is way too much to be said about the early days. After some research, I realized that I was perhaps one of a handful of people that was still active from the first true outbreak. I also realized that I am the last active member of the first true horde, The Many. Since it will take some time to give an accurate description of the organization, politics, and actual gameplay in the early days, I will post updates relating to specific topics in the next few days. I also encourage anyone that has questions to please post them. I will try to answer them the best I can, since it is close to a year and a half since this game was created.
I will try to give my best explanation of the following topics, in no particular order:
- Gameplay in the early days
- The rise of The Many
- Politics and mass hysteria involving The Many
- The fall of The Many
- The rise/fall of DARIS
- Why this game is so much fun
Well it is Friday night and there is much to be done, so I will try to get started on this lecture by tomorrow.
PS - I apologize to Charles Darwin for the forceful removal of his brains. I had no idea what the Quartly Library was all about until recently.
