not trolling here: take the ring to the wilderness volcano in the far NE corner of the wild and use it on the forge (bit in the middle of the bridge).
Enjoy the result.

(assuming its a gold ring)
but that would end the game
take another gold ring ##

It was like this ego battle between Gene and this guy Rick who left being an advisor, and kinda failed to make a breakoff clan if I remember correctly. He would persist to troll our forums and yeah for the folklore of it there was a reward to whomever managed to kill him in the wild (of course it never happened). Pretty sure he wasn't the only one :p

or maybe I'm confusing him with Axe Man Jack  -.^

if only dat extended clan history on the old website still was up

Yep it was AMJ we joined at about the same time - the day I joined he was just posting all kinds of awful shit all over the forums ##
Rick Hamm was a good guy but could be very argumentative and opinionated. He didn't always see eye to eye with everyone and expressed it. I liked him, he actually came back a few years later for a very short time where he was in IRC and stuff and caught up with some of WG's happenings. I wouldn't be too surprised if he checked in again down the road.

Hey man good to see old faces around, I definitely remember your name - I came in at the tail end of that era I believe. Kero2 Mangomaniac and Snowzak and maybe Bassism idk all came in at semi-similar times in comparison to when I did if you remember those names. My rsn was Reticked ## Zezima still plays actually (has a stream on twitch), just not on the top of the leaderboards anymore.

Honestly I don't think I can help you out too much in the swimming department, it's my weakest by far since I can never train it (until now, living in the city gyms galore), so I'm not too too much better than you are! If I had to give any advice, it would be as follows in no particular order or importance:

1. Get a wetsuit. Not only will you be able to swim in open water for longer during the year and be able to race in wetsuit required races, but you get extra buoyancy so it can make things a bit easier.
2. Triathlons are open water, so get used to being in waves and if possible, swimming with people in your way. The start of a tri is usually a clusterfuck of bodies and kicking and punching and whatnot. People will be accidentally (and maybe intentionally) grabbing and pulling you depending on where you start in the pack. You can usually stick to the outside if you're nervous about the crowd, but after a few races you'll probably want to be in the middle with everyone else.
3. Sighting. You're going to need to be able to locate where buoys are floating and make sure you're still on course. When you're in a big crowd it's easy enough to go with the flow of everyone else which is usually enough to send you in the right direction, but sometimes everyone is doing the same thing and not making the most direct route to the buoy. Once in a while switch out of freestyle/crawl swimming into a breaststroke or something so you can still advance forward but realign your trajectory to the buoy. It's easy enough!

That's what I can think of for tri-specific swimming, but as far as technique what has helped me:
1. When you're trying to improve your technique work at one thing at a time until you can do all of the little things you need to do at once. At first it's a lot to handle but as you practice it gets easier. I'm still struggling with form. Letting my chest sink a little to elevate the rest of my body has helped, and make sure you focus on your kick. The kick can be ignored by a lot of new people but if your legs aren't parallel to the rest of your body you can end up dragging big rudder-like feet and legs through the water behind you which ends up like an aquatic parachute and slows you down a ton. I have big feet so I'm trying to stretch them to where I can point them down like a ballerina so they don't cause too much drag.
2. Watch videos online of form, and look up drills, and have someone who can swim that you know watch you every once in a while to see what you can work on. You can only go so far with self-improvement on form because you can't really see yourself, and thats where someone critiquing your form can really help.

A lot of stuff has changed for me recently! I graduated from college (university) a little over a year ago and just got a job finally. I majored in geology, but my job isn't exactly in my field. It's a science still, but closer to nuclear engineering. As of less than a week ago I moved 600 miles (almost 1000 km) from Massachusetts to Virginia (USA places). Essentially what I'll be doing is sampling to ensure there are no radiation leaks on aquatic vessels that have nuclear reactors onboard. It's a government job so it's a great place to start. In a few months my girlfriend of 2 years will be moving in with me for the first time, and from then on we'll be kind of starting our lives together. I'm not sure if I want to take my career in the nuclear engineering direction or try to guide it back towards geology again, but with time I'll know. Either way, I'm thinking of getting a master's degree. But again I'll know with time what I really want to do.

Aside from work/education, my main hobby is competing in triathlons. I qualified for nationals last year through a team and this year as an individual, where I'll have a chance to qualify for team USA/ worlds if I do well enough. That certainly won't happen this year but I'm hoping in a few years I'll be able to! My unrealistic dream is to compete in the olympics someday, can't hurt to try. I'm very far off at the moment but I think I might have the potential if I get myself focused and consistent with my training.

Anyone remember or keep in contact with Buffyrose or Grey Tuna? Haven't seen them since BC days on Aerie Peak

No but you did answer my internal question as to why I randomly have a character on that server.

I've stopped playing for a month or two but that's where all of my characters are ##
