In Memoriam (HCIM Deaths)

Aww noooo! RIP Pattern

Interesting stats too Tree! I can now warn new people starting raids that it's the activity that has caused most HC deaths in the fc

Stefario27 - poem to come
notes for poem:

Spoiler:

Stefario had travelled far to seek a giant hole
Wherein he hoped to find the fiercesome dreaded giant mole,
That plagued the grounds of Fally park, caused plants and grass to die
And forced the flower of Falador’s youth in deaths dark halls to lie.

At last he found the entrance to the dread mole’s secret lair.
He descended into darkness for he knew no mortal fear.
Equipped with mystic, dazzling blue, and nature staff to hand
He sought to free fair Falador from the blight which plagued its land.

He battled long, he battled hard as mole fell to the floor
Until of food and prayer, he’d none. And yet, he wanted more!
Just one last kill he thought he’d steal and live the tale to tell
Though he lacked food so could not heal, the mole he’d send to hell!

Alas his youthful arrogance! Alas, his fated pride!
The thrashing mole made rocks to fall, he had nowhere to hide!
They thundered down, to right, to left, cascaded overhead
Until poor Stef was buried deep in rocks which left him dead.

So take ye heed, all hardcores here, if food and prayer you’ve none
The wisest course is not to fight! Turn on your heels and run!

RIP Stefario27
We will remember!

18th Dec Arcane trail died to mole

(poems to follow when I've found out more details)

A bold adventurer one day put on his addy mail.
His fame had spread from east to west, his name was Arcane Trail.
His aim, to kill the giant mole within a team of three
Comprising of Stefario, himself, and lastly Tree.

Stef with mage, and Tree with range and Trail with melee fought,
Together made an awesome team that kept the mole fair fraught!
However, Tree then bade her leave, departed, leaving two,
So just Stefario and Trail now formed the fighting crew.

It came to pass in final cave, the mole there took a stand.
“Don’t rush!” Stefario then cried, “Keep back and stay thy hand!
Come stand beside me by this wall, to hit then run and hide!”
But Arcane, blind with battle lust, ignored, and stayed inside…

That final cave. Alas his fate! For Moley hit him hard!
A one hit kill, that pieced his heart, a final, fatal shard!
He fell on knees, and dying, cried: “Stefario the True!...
Blame not thyself! The fault was mine! I should have heeded you!”

But Stef, now grieving deeply for the loss of his dear friend,
Then slew the mole, whilst crying out “His death shall be thy end!”

RIP Arcane Trail
We will remember!

RIP!

*sheds tear* beautiful. #neverforgetarcane

Wow. Tree these poems are incredible! Thank you for sharing such great pieces of art! Yeah I was pretty bummed, but everything is fine now. Out of the ashes, a phoenix rises! Arcane Chasm is born and ready to pick up where Arcane Trail left off, to continue the road less traveled by!

Awww... nice poem tree, and good luck with Arcane Chasm!

That's the spirit! All the best with your new adventures on Arcane Chasm!

‘Twas at the time of Halloween when  Famine, Plague, Death and Strife
Arrived pretending death was safe, yet took poor Linkfan’s hardcore life.
Our Link joined in and knew no fear, for there he’d safely died before,
But bugs in game heed no man’s cries; one threw poor Linkfan to the floor.

The Seeker’s gaze with deathly beam rotated round, twice hit him hard,
Between each hit by ‘unknown power’ our Link from hardcore now was barred.
'Twas not his fault that caught him out! Dear Jagex, heed his desparate plea!
His time-stamped screenies made it clear: the evidence for all to see.

Five months have passed with no reprieve, ‘cept standard, formal, hard replies.
Scant hope for Iron Linkfan now, his hardcore still in cold death lies.
And grieving, we'll remember, friend; injustice always lingers on
And leaves its scars in memory. But we’ll remember with this song.


RIP Iron Linkfan
We Will Remember!

Epic poem Tree!

RIP Link :/

NOT COOL, JAGEX!

Beautiful poem Tree, thank you for this. My hardcore status may be gone, amongst the others whom have past before me and after, but we shall never be forgotten! Our legacy lives on!

Your legacy will certainly live on Link. Of all the hcim deaths from this FC, yours seems the harshest to me; all the evidence has shown that you died due to a bug and yet you had no acknowledgement of that or reparation for it from Jagex, or even an alternative explanation offered by them. No one will ever forget that in a hurry.

Yeah, it's unfortunate really, but oh well I guess. It was fun while it lasted! X.x

Mirai Leah was a strong hardcore, all skills at ninety base
Save only one, at eighty nine: craft builds at a slower pace.
Receiving then a craft daily, 300 dragon vambs,
She sallied forth to kill the blues, into the wildy lands.

As hide on hide came rolling, no pker did she see,
So was lulled by repetition into false security.
Oh fatal day! Oh fatal hour! Why was she not on guard?
She should have been on high alert lest death, her hardcore barred!

A sly pker named Nip Zheng then snuck up on our Leah,
Threw out a spell to hold her fast, ‘twas then she froze in fear!
Alas too late! She tried to flee, was rooted to the ground!
Nip Zheng showed her no mercy and reduced her to a mound.

So take ye heed ye hardcores all, be patient with your levelling,
Lest, taking risks, you find yourselves victims to PK meddling!

RIP Mirai Leah
We will remember!

By the way, PKers have now overtaken Hollowtoof as the main cause of hcim deaths in our FC. It's a close thing though!

Thank you, Tree!

Ha ha ha! Bit of a cost for that though, I know it wasn't worth it!

Fantastic poem Tree!

RIP Leah~

A hardcore once took up his pick his fortune for to try
For luminite was in his thoughts, a gleam within his eye.
He was a seasoned miner at level ninety-five
Although, as now apparent, not so good at staying alive.

Down to the dingy dwarven mines our miner forth did tramp
Avoiding rockfalls, tripping stones and putting up with damp
And chancing on the luminite, he swung his pick up high
Not seeing that the dread King Scorp was also passing by!

And while Skill thought of luminite, with focus fixed right there
The scorpion crept up behind and fixed him with a glare,
Then raising up his deadly tail with poison dripping down
He whacked it down on Skill's bare back and stung him to the ground!

Alas! Skill was a skiller, knew nought about defence!
It didn't take much stinging, Skill didn't stand a chance!
So this is why we gather here, to mark our friend's demise,
Remember him with poetry and mourn him with our cries.

RIP SkillforFree
We will remember!

Wow Tree, both of those poems were really good! Rest in piece Mirai and Skill. ;-;

Kami Onyx was a peaceful soul, yet needed runes of law.
He took himself to the wilderness to purchase there some more.
Alas, he told in our friends chat, his method them to gain
Whilst unbeknown to all of us, a Pker lurked within.

So Kami, heedless, ventured forth unto the mage arena
Whilst pker, evil in his eyes, crept closer, ever keener
And smited our dear Kami down, so merciless and cruel,
Full mindless of the the pain he brought unto our weeping souls!

Stefario the brave, in rage, then brought Kami’s revenge,
He sought and killed that foul pker, and brought him to his end.
Yet Kami Onyx still lies dead, his like we’ll see no more
Until that day we meet again beyond death’s sullen shore.

RIP Kami Onyx
We will remember!

RIP!

Tragic tale, may the PKer suffer Elvarg's breath until the bank rework is upon us.
