Topic: Looking for old pictures :-)

*waves*
Some of you might remember me, most of you probably don't. ;-)
Anyhow... over 13 years ago I met my current husband here (Ryan) and in a few weeks we'll be 12,5 years together.
For a present to mark this occasion I would like to use a few pictures of the old IC.
Anyone have anything in stock from back in those days? (beta 3 is when we started...)
Or screenshots of anything that links to him or my account (LizzyWizzy) by any chance?
It would be greatly appreciated.

And a big hug to all the oldies that are still around smile

And for those that have Ryan still on their email/ICQ/whatever: please not a word, its a suprise! :-))))

Re: Looking for old pictures :-)

Thanks Gwynedd :-) -  I'll add it in with little pics from what I could still find.
Though I think that's already from later stages in the game...
I found the archives of the IC player gallery, so that already helps with player pics from back then.
Just hoping by some freaky luck someone has a screenshot of a chat, or the family we were in or something like that.

It's quiet on the forums btw, wow!
Shame sad

Yeah, definately a lot quieter these days. And that is from a long time after the beta's, the old login I can't find anywhere but will see if Stefan has anything.

Re: Looking for old pictures :-)

Ohai, welcome back Lizzy.


You'll enjoy these old homepages;

The original.

The short-lived second version.

The one we had for forever.


I'm pretty sure i'm missing another one or two from way back, can't quite remember though.

You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

Re: Looking for old pictures :-)

Heya Skyroshroud! :-)

Great, thanks!!
Will definitely add that old one in.
Though I dont want to make the book about IC, lol... think I'll add them in a collage-type page or something to fit as many of them in as I can. Nice!
Will check back in later, Ryan is hovering around too much at the moment.

Sooooo long? Unbelievable!

Unfortunately I have lost most of the stuff from the old IC:

IC with custom games:
* http://stars.arglos.net/img/ic/IC-index … -games.png
I still remember the BotC-games (Battle of the Countries). And on this screenshot it can be seen that once IC was the game of the month at MPOG.

And quite weird, while I couldn't find any Harkonnen stuff there was some Piratestuff... which is fine because they really were funny and we loved them all:

* http://stars.arglos.net/img/ic/Uglys-Pirate-Speach.pdf
* http://stars.arglos.net/img/ic/Pirates- … onduct.pdf

Lots of stuff and stories are in the IC wiki (at the moment there seems to be a database error but I am sure it will be fixed):

I am fine, thanks, just strolling by from time to time and... not playing.

Although Ryan and I hadn't had that much contact back then, my regards to your... husband (it certainly sounds strange *grin).
Wait a second... Ryan isn't dutch, is he? So, where are you two living now?

Re: Looking for old pictures :-)

@Altruist: Ry is actually dutch now ;-)
He's been living in the Netherlands for the past 8 years...
And husband still sounds strange for me too :-))

@ILP: It turned out really nice!
In the end I had more pictures than I remembered from the past 12,5 years.
120 pages (which is the max) were almost not enough.
Everything ok with you?

@Mace: I did, I did, don't worry tongue

@Rev and Firetruck: thanks for the offer, but I had a pretty tight deadline when I posted.
Plus in the end IC only got half a page, so the pictures posted by Gwynedd, Skyroshroud and Altruist were plenty smile

@WFS: Shhh I was never here!

Anyhow, as you can see from the dates I'm not a real active forum poster... just remembered to check back here because I was putting the picture album on the shelf today ;-)
Just wanted to say thank you again for the pictures!
I'm still on my old gmail though, if anyone wants to get into contact with me.

I'm so happy for you and Ryan. 

Much love!
