The Genealogy of SYM
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2004 11:29 pm
It is, for the most part, an unknown history that has lead up to the present-day SYM. We have some records dating back to some of the earliest years of the board, but most documentations were lost to the elements: forum migrations, periodic thread deleting, and general neglect of important documents to the point where the information they once had was unusable. However, pooling most remaining resources I believe I have come up with a basic "family tree" to our beloved forum with documentations of most members and their points of origins. This thread is not meant to shock or stun, but merely to inform. I hope that it sheds light on a dark and awry history.
In The Beginning there was nothing but Satan. Buck Satan, that is. SYM owes its existance to this game deviant as the cycle of life began with him, just as we know it will one day end with him, then restart once again.
Buck Created the First Generation on a whim over the span of many years, using his ethreal powers to divide his attributes and create a Council of sorts. Buck's omnipotent insight resulted in the first, Fable, who is thought to be the oldest of the lot. Fable was eventually worshipped by the Babylonians before the mess with the tower. How many years after that when Buck created the next three is unknown, but from his charisma came Georgi, from his wisdom came Minerva, and his authoritive attitude came Mr Sleep. Just some of the remaining members of the First Generation, the intellectual T'Lainya, the cunning Stilgar, the gentlemanly Kid####, and the crafty Weasel (likely the youngest) could have been born at any time after this as records that date back that far have mostly been lost. It is also believed that Xandax is also part of the first generation, but it's unclear what role he played as the spawn of Buck. He could have been derived from strength, guidance, or any number of other attributes.
The Void Was Filled after GameBanshee's massive communication center, "Goody", overloaded the world. As Buck worked to find a way to keep heavy traffic from destroying his realm again swarms of emerging SYM members were left alone in the dark. Many poor souls were lost in the diseaster. To keep the tragedy from happening again, Buck created what we now know as Speak Your Mind, or SYM.
From Buck's Council emerged the population of SYM. The largest branch leading from the first generation is the family of Weasel. The deviant, result of Satans most purely evil tendancies, believed in spawning out of wedlock, incest, good food, loud music, and generally had more fun than his 'siblings'. Weasel used his deviant power to spawn COMM, an army that he would lead to serve him at every turn. The first COMMS were Weasel's harem (for lack of a better word), and most members of today's COMM came from Weasel's reckless antics with his own lackeys. The first COMMs were Omar, KidD, Thorin Oaskensfield, and Fas. By Omar Weasel had three sons: Craig, Der Moench, and Rob-hin. Fas bore Weasel a son named Tybaltus, and Thorin bore Weasel two more sons - Chanak and Vicsun.
With his brother KidD Weasel had a son named Robin.
Besides the creation of COMM Weasel had other descendants. It is believed that Weasel and Minerva, goddess of wisdom, bore Weasel's only daughter, Aqua-chan (sometimes referred to as the goddess of sex). In later years Weasel and Aqua-chan had a son, The (Hormonal) Z. Records also indicate that Aegis is also a spawn of Weasel, but there is no telling of who is the mother (or father). It's quite possible that Random Thug is the result of Weasel courting one of his sons (or himself), but again there is no credible evidence.
Besides of his own immediate bloodline Weasel had many other children with others, including Vehemence, Kameleon, Robnark, and Taco.
T'Lainya and Georgi Combined Energies to form a new clan, aptly called the Dark Flames after a phrase in the dictation of an idol not of Buck Satan's creation named Anomen. In light of this new community came the women Dragon Wench, Yshania, Vivien, and Jennabard. After much deliberation these Amazons decided servants would be in order, and so Gwalchmai, Bloodstalker, Harry, Ned Flanders, Thantor and Nippy came to be. Through the women's abilities Mysteria was born, though to uncertain parents.
Aqua-chan merged with this group, and an outsider named Scayde was also adopted into the clan. Chanak also mingled with this group but did not entirely abandom COMM.
Fas built a one-man society against the Dark Flames but is mostly ignored.
The History of SLURR Was Disputed when two of the founding members - Bloodstalker and Ned Flanders - told different stories of it's creation. Bloodstalker claims his private tavern was overrun by outside brigands. Upon speaking the term SLURR he accidently created a new clan. BS used this new free will to announce himself as the Lord of Lurkers, then became a hermit for a period of about two days. Ned Flanders says the SLURR was created using conflicting aspects of COMM and Spam and was founded by he, Bloodstalker, and McBane. (Ned has submitted documentation that prooves this theory correct.) Meanwhile, the next SLURRs in line - three rough men named Beldin, Ode to a Grasshopper, and Eerhardt - began taking control of their own new clan and becan terrorizing taverns, bars, and coffee shops alike with thier travelling truck known as the Rolling Thunder.
Beldin and Eerhardt spawned Brink, who is also a loyal SLURRite.
As This Chaos Unfolded Fable Knew He Had to Counter the Madness with sanity. To keep the boards balanced Fable summoned three similar entities that displayed his best attributes. They were called C Elegans, High Lord Dave, and Dottie. C Elegans had a son named Maharlika, a talented scribe and record keeper, but it's uncertain if he's a genetic son or just a spawn of her genious science.
Maharlika merged with COMM.
Bloodstalker Created Be, a cult of self-righteous Buddha-like preachings that emphasized the importance of one's Be. Maharlika keeps the Holy Books of Be. It's uncertain how many members of Be there are exactly.
Several Wars Raged On during the volution of the boards. Rivalries and community battles began taking place, but the most famous was the battles of Weasel and Waverly. Also, byproduct of these clashes of deviant energy resulted in the births of Gruntboy, Flagg and the Pantless Marines.
There are many mysteries to SYM, partially because people who know these things for sure come and go, taking their knowledge with them forever. Undoubtedly, there are many mistakes and errors made, and some family trees just can't be traced - Ubik? Waverly? Were they part of the First Generation, or sons of Weasel? And just who WAS AragornReturns' parents, anyway?! - but hopefully with the helpful imput of members like you we can now find out exactly how the SYM bloodline goes.
