Dwarec Mercs

October 5, 2008.  That's the date of the last update I, Blinkor, personally wrote and submitted.  I am deeply ashamed of my lackadaisical performance as a website updater and events poster.  I submit myself to whatever sort of barbed remarks come my way with this update, such as, "oh, hey, nice update, only 6 months late, you lazy ass monkey".  All such remarks are well deserved and warranted, and I will accept them all with the utmost humility... at which point I'll promptly guildremove your inconsiderate, ungrateful little ass.  With that disclaimer out of the way as warning to my guild and (somewhat) apology to anyone else who still frequents this site to look at where we are & what we're doing, let's get to the good stuff.

As we come upon our 10 Year Anniversary, I can't help but be a little nostalgic about the online family I call DM. In the past 10 years, we've been through joy and heartbreak, weddings and divorces, deaths in the family and births. We've seen Mercs grow up from lovable teenagers to grown men and women, we've grown up ourselves. We've seen each other annually at Mercfests, and every day online, spent hours upon hours together, laughing and joking, sharing our thoughts and lives, while killing dragons and anything else in our paths. We've moved to different games, and instead of tearing us apart, it created more opportunities to make new friends. There are very few people that I can still call a friend after 10 years, I hope that we still know each other after another 10.

I thought of a way to commemorate our time together and I don't have enough video clips, so I'll tell the story from the beginning.
