HYJACKED! - bane -

I am beggining my work on the complete OoC history.
Please use this thread to give any date that something SIGNIFICANT (even if small) occured that would be good to include (times forms went down, major cabbage parties, acolytes comming/going.

Feel free to do mini writeups on the events, but please, to keep it from getting tedious, keep things as on topic as possible. (discussion of when an event occured, or what happened is good, talking about how cool an event was is not.)

The more numbers and dates you throw at me, the more accurate/faster I can write this.

------------------------------------

The beggining:

Blackbane started his Runescape career by searching out Free java games. He found Runescape and played it off and on about 4 years ago. He was never satisfied with playing a game normally, so after leveling his woodcutting to 46 (which pleased him to be doing such a pointless skill) he began a cooking clan called: " THE COOKS UNITE!" It had roughly 9 members, and people came from all over to party with the cooks. Fires were lit all over the place, beer and food given away. It was all in good fun.

But, there was something just not completly satisfying. But the chef wearing crazy people set a standard for odd looking that would carry on in later years.

Flash forward. Bane stops playing runescape for several months at a time (and misses out on EVERY holiday drop) and began playing again when his friend Koop_32 began to play (and who later became his roomate in real life :D) Bane tried several money making schemes, including building a network of limpwurt collectors, that he sold for 2-500% mark up to members buyers.

But then he thought: "WHAT WAS THE POINT?. . . WHY DO I DO THIS?"

His limpwurt collecting was done on the hobgoblin peninsula. . . and when he needed healing, he went to. . . . the nearby cabbage.

Blackbane had been collecting limpwurts for so long. . . that he had an eppifany that day. "What is the difference between clicking on rocks, hobgoblins, trees. . . . . or cabbage?"

And so he put down his Swords. He took off his armour, and donned his old favourite outfit: A dark priest gown, and began dilegently picking away to his hearts content. Conversing with some people, he began picking picking the monestary cabbage, to edgeville bank, where he was spotted by 'someone' who was burying bones.

This opened up Blackbane to start vocalizing his new found love of picking cabbage, and the two friends amused each other in their goals. One would bury thousands of Bones, the other. . . would pick cabbage. . .. to what end?

Enter in TWI. He suggests that Blackbane go back to Tip.it and Twi (who is/was a mod) lets everyone know that there is some crazy dude picking cabbage. The first thousand goes by. .. then ten thousand. . . . His mind slowly tumbles into a leafy spiral, as his posts on tip.it become crazier and more spammy. Juggling 3 topics always on the first page all devoted to cabbage, the main thing that kept people interested was: No one could bring him down. He devoted his runescape life to cabbage at level 62, and he has been that level ever since.

So where does the OoC fit in?

One person from the early days picked late into the night with Bane. He donated in 3k increments. People had been stopping by the patch at Draynor (the new location on world 17, the Canadian server of which Bane is closest to) and had been asking when they would start a clan.

'A clan'

What a boring idea! So the two mused togeather and came up with a concept:

'a cult'

At first, it was jokingly put. But then the idea made more sence.

"What if we made a group, dedicated to the cabbage, and all the joy that cabbage brings? I mean. . .cabbage is the coolest thing in runescape. . . "

But the two did their work in secret. For a cult must be mysterious. So upon converting people to love the cabbage, JFP221, of cabbage picking renown, and Blackbane found people who wanted to "start a cult" And the most enthusiastic of the bunch who wanted to "start a cult" were let in a magical secret:

There already was one. Welcome to the Order of Cabbage!

And the OoC was born.

WRONG!

Jelleh and Blue joined a week before us - 10th April


You, me, Sledge, Ganon, Barbossa, De_Jean, Freesy, Booduz and Starbug were inducted on the same day - Pretty sure of that. That day was 17th april.

Here is an extract of something i was writing about my year in the ooc. It probs isn't needed anymore so here we go:


The Great Run '05 marked the 400-500k stage of cabbage. It is amazing to think, that in one year, we have picked 600k cabbage. That's quite a feat. It also marked the induction of several OoCers, including myself, and the now Elder Sledgehammar. Ignite had pulled the OoC out of a slum, (My knowledge here is patchy) and the numbers of Acolytes were reinforced once more. To find out details of the run click This Topic We celebrated the 500k mark in style, with a Blackbane Freak Train , and huge bombing. De Jean won the competition for highest picker of cabbage with an incredible 22,462 beating Jelleh by 240 cabbages.
