In Memoriam (HCIM Deaths)

RIP

Thanks for the poem, Tree. You're so incredibly talented. Where does this gift for poetry come from?

Same place as yours I imagine.
Glad you've still got Divine Diana at least!

This one was a long time coming...I only just realised that Schaaaaaapje lost her HCIM status in the Port Sarim invasion ages ago! Sorry Scha.

‘Schaaaaaapje’ was a hardcore, yet no gentle ‘Little Sheep’;
She roamed the streets of Port Sarim its safety for to keep.

Her bow was keen, her arrows sharp, her eyes were quick and bright
And when our ‘Sheep’ was on the watch, no man e’re dared to fight!

Yet rue the day – that dreadful day – when pirates landed there;
They rushed the jail, they killed the guards, caused havoc and despair!

Our ‘Sheep’ was quick upon the scene and entered in the fray,
Supporting others in a fight with shots from far away.

And yet alas! Abandoned she! Her allies fled their foe!
So pirates, three, with cruel glee, piled on her, to her woe!

She tried to run for safety, yet there was none to be found!
Our little sheep, the sacrifice, her blood staining the ground!


A tale’s now told in Port Sarim, that on a moonlit night
When sea mist steals in from the east and hides the streets from sight,
A ghostly Schaaaaaapje walks the pier still guarding those she loves,
And  twang of bow, to listening ear, her faithfulness still proves.


RIP Schaaaaaapje
We will remember!

Yikes, RIP.

Im-Hezeh never shrank from mortal strife,
In true hardcore fashion he spurned the jar of life!
He laughed into the face of death, his voice was wild and loud,
Until that fatal day when he faced the Ankou crowd.

Distracted but a moment, his character fought on,
His addy 2h slashing amongst that deadly throng.
And yet, there were too many! Beset at once by three
They cut our Hezeh to the ground and howled with dreadful glee!

Alas for brave, strong Hezeh! We’ll ne’er see you again.
Not even deaths of all ankous could e’er assuage our pain!

RIP Im-Hezeh
We will remember!

RIP :c

Thank you Tree it is beautiful: )

I'd say it was my pleasure, but that might be tactless, lol.

Just to give a heads up, Little Known has quit today. Said he was bored.

Aww, that's a shame. RIP

Indeed that was a shame!
Thanks for letting us know Frostin.
Was Ironhercules an alt of Little Known's, or a name change? Anyone know?

Ironhercules was an alt of Little Known. He wanted to be a HCIM (Little Known was reg ironman) thus created this new account.
RIP.

Ah I see, thanks.

Gather round ye hardcores, a sad tale I must tell
Of MrScuffyOne, whom we knew so very well.
A hardcore Iron warrior, of full and great renown
Who took on Hollowtoofy but death’s door he was shown.

Our Scruffy chose to solo, for hardcore, a brave feat
And yet for Scruffy normally, his victory was complete.
But this time he was ranging when no one else was there
Then DC chucked him out of game and caused him great despair.

And when at last our hero tried to log in yet again
Our Scruff was moved to lobby heaven, freed from hardcore pain.
It seems that while removed from game, Hollowtoof struck true
Compelling me to write this poem, my heart laden with rue.

And so we say our last goodbyes to MrScruffyOne
Though gone, yet not forgotten – in our hearts he will live on!

RIP MrScruffyman
We will remember!

Come all you irons near and far
Alas! For fallen is our star -
Our Speckle -  once who burned so bright
Now, in death, is wrenched from sight!

Poor Speckle was distracted so!
She wished to make us smile you see.
Her many jokes to us did throw,
Her focus fixed on our FC

The minotaur then seized his chance!
First crouching, then with mighty prance
He leapt and cast poor speckle down.
For her sake now, we gather round.

But her death was not in vain
For now, with every time we smile
We’ll think of Speckle and her jokes
And tarry with that thought a while.

RIP Speckle

We will remember!

Aww RIP Speck! At least he died laughing

Kastjala was a hardcore, and one of great renown
Full of positivity, you’d never see him frown.
With confidence he donned nat staff and full ghost hunter gear
And ventured forth into the land where Greaters do appear.

To find himself a rune mace was his motivating force,
But that dream became his downfall, as oft’ happens of course.
Seconds after getting one, he fast ran out of prayer -
Went running to the Edward bank with Greaters in his hair.

They smote him most relentlessly, they hit him fast and hard
And teaming all together, they caught him off his guard.
Alas for Kast! He bit the dust!  His like we’ll see no more!
We bid you now a sad adieu, beloved, brave, hardcore!


RIP Kastjala

We will remember!

RIP... awesome poem as always, Tree

Thank you tree. A lovely send off for my hc career

Hope you'll return to RS on another Jamie - don't let those greaters win!

Rest in Peace, you will be remembered :'C

Aww nooo! Nasty big scary moley got Got Me Weak!
I hope you stay around as a regular though Got! There'll be a memorial poem on the way for you soon when my inspiration kicks in.

Got Me Weak, ironic, that your name should be so!
First time at the mole and that first time was solo.
All looked fine and dandy, the mole was tiring fast,
His health points getting lower, it seemed he could not last.

Yet just before the mole expired, a tragedy took place:
Got was frozen to the spot while rocks fell in his face!
They thundered down so rapidly, there was no time for thought,
Instead of hitting ‘freedom’, he munched lobbies that he’d brought.

He could not heal up fast enough! The rocks then brought him down.
And falling in abundance, they crushed him to the ground.
O Got Me Weak, Mole got you weak, but one thing strong remains
The memories of this brave hardcore shall never be in chains!

RIP Got Me Weak
We will remember!
