In fact, the three of us (Alrin, Savryn, and I) met and got to know each other through ICQ long after we'd met and begun running around together in the game. I did have them both on ICQ, and still do. They're friends of mine now. They both have realistic ways of looking at life, unlike certain embittered someones who take games like this so seriously that they're willing to attempt a character assassination like this. :P
> As to the further "interesting" facts about that
Well, whoever you are (...and I only say "whoever you are" to perpetuate the illusion that I don't know exactly who you are. :P), the fact is that after everything was said and done, I did tell a very few people the whole story. Fewer than half a dozen people who were close to me, and who I could trust to stay quiet. I would not, for example, have told you. You found out by other unethical means the likes of which you've paid for already (and my, aren't we bitter?). Why did I do this? Because I was proud of it, and couldn't keep it ENTIRELY bottled up. I enjoy gossip as much as you do, deep down. But, is it really all that surprising that I wouldn't tell the entire CF populace? My desire to tell people has been sated; I'll let it stay secret from those who don't already know. Just for fun. :)
I delivered at least eight entirely different versions of my "life story" over the months of my immortal life, when people asked me such personal questions. There was one who I actually told the whole truth of it from start to finish, without leaving much out. Maybe it'll spread that way.
> Yes, flame me for this if you want, but I don't
I don't think this requires a flame, but I do need to mention that truth isn't nearly the subjective term you seem to think it is.
