I can remember when A-Dawg and myself first started talking about forming the guild that would become SCAR. We wanted to start something that would have a impact in the game and "stir" things up a bit. We weren't really sure what we wanted the guild to do but we figured we could get it started and see where it went. From the moment the guild was formed it was the "personalities" in the guild that gave it the rep it had. We may not have been the best fighters, pirates...etc, but the guild did draw attention....and that was all we were after.
I always got a kick out of being in SCAR. It was fun to see the reaction when jumping into a sector (B8)...it was either "Look it's SCAR! Get him!!" or ships giving me a wide berth as I went through the area. At any rate, I never had time to get bored. As I mentioned above, the personalities in the guild made it's reputation what it was. When you have people like Dr Lecter, Mecha Touriuas and others in your guild, you can always count on excitement coming from some direction. The guild took alot of heat for some of it's actions at that time....but we didn't care, judging by the constant message posts about SCAR we were well known...and thats all we cared about. People may not have liked us...but they knew who we were.... I never did understand the reincarnation of SCAR as a "kinder, gentlier guild"...

It was fun while it lasted and I have many memories from the game. There are times I will never forget involving Borb, Yoda, Leber, Shape, Solra, Tramshed.....and many, many others. (I even remember a standoff with some UIT Border Guardians....I wonder if that message thread is still here..LOL)

While SCAR may not be present here....I did take the name with me when I started playing Guild Wars a few years ago...so it lives on there...:)

-Ote Korus

Good to hear from you again, Ote.

Hey Doc! Nice to see you are still floating around here.

I'd ask to meet you for dinner to discuss old times, but quite frankly, I never was quite able to relax at a dinner table with you. I'm assuming that you still have the same fondness for the "non-standard" delicacies that you always enjoyed. However, I always did enjoy the hunt proceeding the festivities....and from what I have seen in the last few days, there is plenty of new, fresh stock just waiting to be taken. Let me know...and I'm there!

-Ote

You too, Ote, watch it or I'll get back in the Lumbering Lebertaur® and strike FEAR into yer heart!

Oh Leber.....is that the way to greet a old "friend"? I am a kinder and more polite Ote than what you remember. In the past few years of my exile I have learned civility and have nothing but kind thoughts for people of all races....Serco, Itani, UIT...they are all the same to me.

Hey...I can even prove it. I've changed my hail message for those lost souls that I encounter roaming the universe....

"I am collecting for the Starving Pirates Fund, $50k or your ship Please." "Thank you for your kind contribution!"

SEE! Thats MUCH more polite than the old Ote......

Almost forgot.....I did tell you where that stash of tequila that I uhhh...."liberated" from you was hidden....didn't I?

-Ote

thxs for the history.

dammit i missed the formation of scar by leaving my 1st period of playing the game 1 month b4 it started :(
