DF was created 4 years ago, on June 9, 2004.
We started playing in DF on June 11, 2004.
Therefore, these three days are know as the DF Anniversary.
Yeah, yeah, I know usually anniversaries are not 3 days long, but, DF is really important for the RPG history, creating a very very different flow of events compared to my original concepts of the RPG timeline. Seriously, everyone would have quit HG if I did my original ideas. So, the HG anniversary is the 1st most important annivesary(3/3/03, since, otherwise we'd never have an RPG to begin with), but DF is equally important for making it something we want to be in.
And now, having written that, I have two random thoughts.
1-In the sense of timeline, would that mean that there's another timeline-dimension-whatever you want to call it, where all the doom of DF didn't happen, where we did win? How would that have ended up?
2-There's no avoiding this-FD seems to be dying lately. I'm not going to go into the recent reasons why, since, I know it was dying even prior to those events.
Maybe part of this because every plotline, every string of events, it's all pre-planned, structured, etc. It's all character actions, but decided before we even created the thread. There's no chaotic unpredictable fun of the old days of DF.
((Hey, can i get someone to search FD and DF's general info and disucssion baords and send me any 'history of the RPG' storylines? It'd be useful to compile them into one big thing. Then I can stop making history topics no one reads or replies to ;D))

| But, How did DF occur? If we had HG, then why did we need another RPG? There were two reasons. (minor history lesson) In about March of 2004, I got a link to another digimon RPG, and I joined in hope of finding members and ideas for how to fix HG, which was slowly dying since we were down to me-pika-michael, and not even really having Michael. There, I met Wedge and Raven. By June, we had been in that RPG, it got sent to another RPG that died, and we joined another RPG. 1-This last RPG was starting to die. Me and Wedge wanted something to do, a more active RPG than the rapidly dying RPG. 2-HG it self was slow. Wedge had joined, Deragon came out of nowhere, but we had lost Michael. Even so, HG was so slow, it was discouraging. Wedge's solution-make our own. My addition to solution-make it a 'what if we lost the final battle of HG. This lead to Deciding Factors, which was based on the concept that we lost the final battle, and most of the good DD were captured. A few escaped, but of those, even half were anti-everyone, and some were wanting to help their friends, and Hidimon was just plain lost. Uncontrolled, unplanned, no "plot line", just plot determined by characters's actions. At first, we didn't intend for it to be offical. I mean, 'What-if's are "what if this happened even though we know it never did." Well, what happened was that we liked DF too much. It started with the three of us, then Wedge invited some of his friends to join. Then Deragon transfered over. Wedge's friends left, but we got Shayde. Then a month later, Kyle. Then Jesse. By then, guess how many serious members joined HG? None. No one was interested in HG. The members themselves were sort of forcing themselves to play in the boring RPG. Yes, HG was in the final battle, but it wasn't as fun as the uncontrolled battles and plot of the 'what if' RPG, which was a lot more doomish, fighting, spontanious, and 'who knows what's gonna happen. So, we took a vote, and decided to set up the HG final battle so we did lose. So DF did become the final results. So we could have fun, and know this is the real events. Luckily, my insistance on 'keeping continuity, even if a what-if' made it easy to make this timeline transition. Therefore, we continued from DF and that's what lead to today. |
