A History of Ixnay (OOC): Difference between revisions

Those were dark months, and I remained absent for many of them. We managed to stop the bleeding and began to pick up the pieces, ensuring no members left and that Ixnay would continue to exist. Some former members attempted to poach people, but most remained strong. The absolute worst of Black Thursday had ended by the end of March, but to this day it remains probably the worst day in Ixnay's history. From a personal point of view, I was now fairly isolated within Ixnay. This was the era of randoms becoming regulars for a brief time - "Tits", Akai, and Santh. Slak came around this time and was on-and-off for about four years. Heku and I have our historic differences, and to be frank I never liked Kron. For the time being, I was lacking in any sort of RP/lore partner. This era was functionally an in-between time. On the bright side, Black Thursday arguably gave IxReboot the space to breathe. The community was coming to a shift from "geopolitical roleplay with decent factbooks" to something ''else'' - but it took time to discover what that was.

===The Burg Renaissance and Silver Age===

Ixnay puttered along after Black Thursday for several months until The New True Cross, a user I had met years earlier on LineartInc, approached me with interest in joining Ixnay. He came over and we discussed a Venice type idea for him; an insular metropole in northern Levantia with periphery feudal-like holdings on the mainland separate from his primary dominion. After working through some names, he picked Burgundie, and a legend was born.
