COTEC Mythology: The Great Upheaval; So you wanna know what happend to COTEC1

Some question have been asked about what ever happened to COTEC1, because if you dont know, this is actually its second incarnation after some very turbulent events in the past.

So of course, such an event must be chronicalised into our mythology, our history for all our members to know. Thus I present the horrible time known as The Great Upheaval, when COTEC was actually destroyed!

I do name, names, but I'm not afraid to do so and apologise for any offence, but I think I would have quite a few of our veteran members to back me up on the hidden truths within the mythology.

So here it is, enjoy.

That was a nice read, even though I didn't come here until recently.

WOAH! Very good fluff!

Daemonic to say the least... ^_^ I'm with Valtiel here, insofar that I just recently joined, but it sounds like COTEC has had an illustrious history of betrayal.

Those must be very hidden truths indeed, considering most of that fluff is innacurate. It looks like you managed to mix up the end of Cotec 1 and the problems with Nightbringer on Cotec 2 ;)

Nightbringer never tried to take down Cotec 1. He tried to take down Cotec 2. And he wasn't stopped by anyone, he was convinced by the members of the forum to back down. I remember informing you later about our success at convinsing him and you responded something along the line of "huh?" since you hadn't even seen the whole fight (it all happened very fast). :P

Ah, yes...I remember the whole "Nightbringer Incident" quite well. Unfortunate, but thankfully resolved in an agreeable manner.

As for whether the fluff is completely innaccurate, I'm not entirely sure. COTEC 1 was brought down by Nightbringer not paying the monthly forum fee (at least that's whate I remember...it was quite a while ago ;) ), so that could equate into a "giant fireball of doom" that destroyed the Chamber. A more accurate Bearer vs. Nightbringer battle would involve Nightbringer attemtping to return and sieze power after leaving the Chamber...or maybe my memory is just playing tricks with me.

No NB tried to bring down COTEC 1 and he did - believe me I'd remember that LB since I had to pick up the pieces.

NB returning to try and take power in COTEC 2 - that wasnt the Great Upheaval. He couldnt take COTEC 2 because everything was in my name - yeah I kinda had some magical anti-NB barriers installed in the new COTEC hahaha.

But thats an entirely different story - cause remember NB wasnt killed in the mythology of COTEC 1 - only banished. So it still needs to be written. I think this is where Dreadlord LB did some tricker work on the NB - what do you think LB?

This is all so confusing... :P

I dont think the factual evidence matters quite as much as the COOL FLUFF!

Keep it coming! :D

Damn right!

nice little piece there Bearer!

It would be nice to do a little follow up piece about the 'old veterans and champions of the chamber' returning to the new COTEC.

I seem to remember Stratos posted a link on Saga of Shadow, which is when I joined again (as well as a few others, I believe :huh: )


So we sort of "ventured back in small groups, slowly returning from the lairs and dark places of the world where we had been lying dormant, ever awaite the RETURN OF THE CHAMBER!"

duh-duh-DUH!





Or some such occurance :P

Do you also remember that the first thing you did after Cotec 2 opened was to reinstate me, SirLord AND Nightbringer as admins? :P

While NB might have had something to do with the Cotec 1 crash, he was never after breaking the forum and he never became some sort of enemy of Cotec, if he was then you would not have made him admin again.

Then again, having him as a Nemesis makes a cooler story! And having me trick him when he returned is also much cooler than me simply discussing it with him untill we reached an agreement, so in the fluff I am all for it. I just think its good to point out the truth behind it as well and how it differs from the fluff.

On a compleatly unrelated topic, don't feel safe because its in your name. I could permanently lock you out of the forum and take everything down. The only thing I could not do is to actually close down the entire forum. I can however remove everything in it and deny everyone access to everything. It would be here, just empty and utterly unusable forever. NB could have done the same. Hence why one should never keep inactive admins as admins or have more admins than needed. Better safe than sorry.

Yes, the IF security when it comes to co-admins is rather crappy ;)

:rolleyes: Rolleyes eyes - not everything has to be cold sterile science LB hahaha, enjoy the story dude and make sure when you do come up with some story you trick that bad Nightbringer into some fluffy pink box filled with candy :P

Nah, make yourself all cool and stuff its our mythology.

COTEC makes everything cool!

Not to mention the fact Bearer explicitly said that parts of the mythology and history have 'been altered and re-written'... which now is in fact true, if we slightly alter the 'real life' situation when writing it up! :D

Sigh. Memories ;o

Not yet read it through, but alas, I need to download something for it. But it doesn't really matter too much, since I was there :P

I remember that time quite well. I tired to join in with LB to be one of the more outspoken ones, but everyone was pretty outspoken. If it wasn't for a certain CoL member that had joined here, LB would have banned NB for good...
But those times are past.
Sweet fluff Bearer! Short and simple, but it certainly tells this site's history accurately.

Pretty cool fluff there Bearer, nice work !!

I don't really remember the end of COTEC 1. When SoC ended I was starting 6th Form, and so alas, some sacrifices had to be made and lots of Warhammer sites were among them.

I do like acolite's suggestion of mentioning old veterans and champions returning.
