As we're all probably aware of WAY before this post was made, there has been talk about a possible quit by catherby_9 over a display name that was taken by WonderKid118 called WorldNine. After 4 days retirement there was more gossip regarding a possible suicide video leaked by Golem19 thanks to RDM Gear 3. version 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch#v=rfmM6duQT2Y version 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch#v=SL4h8x8kltw version 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOWvGQmb9CM Version 1 was released by YouTube's [/b]afxsam[/b] around 8AM on March 1st 2010. Version 2 was released by YouTube's nationalguardofrs at 10PM on March 1st 2010. Version 3 was released by YouTube's ngor36 at 8AM on March 2nd 2010. Version 1 was made after Version 2. Version 1 was a shorter re-make to pass off as an actual suicide (possibly), and sent to Golem19 for upload by a user that WASN'T associated with Kire667. Version 2 included the feedback from Ventrilo regarding aftermath of the initial "quit RuneScape" statement. Version 3 was made after both Version 1 and Version 2 were uploaded. It included both the feedback regarding aftermath of "quit RuneScape statement AND aftermath of "suicide" Version 1. All of this merely to build up the hype bigger than last year's incident with Zezima versus Catherby 9 at our own home town since 2004 on P2P. This all leading up to the largest April Fools' Day prank in the history of RuneScape (a month early to offset any suspicion). We SHOULD all be aware of how big on parodies and pranks our leader Kire667 is. And while the vast majority know me well. There is always a handful of newer members to NGG whom have no idea about who I am or what I do for amusement. And the reaction from them, and the gossip that spread like wildfire across the entire server at world 9 on RuneScape.. was simply astounding. I never knew that many cared THAT much about my well being to actually hunt down the video (it was viewed over 200 times in only the first few hours after upload by Golem19). And YES we had a small group that were in on the prank the whole time. Kai, Golem19, and Borisdec all knew about the prank the day before it was set into motion. And while others whom were active on FaceBook and Ventrillo soon found out the truth they already probably knew before hand, they aided in keeping the prank going long after it was down to a handful of people whom just logged on for the day and just heard the rumors that Kire667 was dead. There were other times such as that time I lost power for 9 days due to Hurricane Frances (2004). I was half done with completion of Legends' Quest on Kire667 when in the middle of the hurricane making landfall the power shut off. Some of the leaders here at NGG at the time spread rumors that I died in the hurricane since it was big talk on the forum board and easy enough for them to pass off as truth without facts for or against the theory. But I always return, time and time again. Which leads us to this part of the story. How did everyone enjoy April Fools' Day for 2010? I know it's a whole month in advance, but that is just for us to ensure people wouldn't just say, "Oh it's just April 1st and that's the usual we get from Kire." Plus I was growing bored with RuneScape (and that's the truth) and it needed some spice in it to keep the drama alive. Following an act by Zezima he pulled last year around May 4th 2009 by invading the town bank for 2 days along side King Cut in his campaign to overthrow catherby 9 as the first clan owner in world 9 -- Just let me tell you, it is no easy feat to pull off. But with this one, perhaps that was achieved. Only time will tell. ![]() And just think about it this way. Now when I REALLY die (from a car accident, natural illness, or while being robbed at gun point while working late night at Pizza Hut) nobody will believe anyone that says I'm dead (unless they find my full name and track down a Florida news article related to the incident). And they will go on playing RuneScape, believing that any new account that enters RScc just might be me leveling on a new account and starting anew. I love it!Oh and another point of feedback for this topic. How many of you actually knew I was 2kill4skill6? And you have NO idea how hard it is for me to think up new account names. Everyone knew it was me straight away when I made Arch Mage 66 and used the name in conjunction with the Ventrilo harassment hoax videos as juggernaut. Even King Cut bought into the story that I would actually EVER quit RuneScape. I've got too many friends here, and WAY too much fun (above videos as proof to that statement). And while some posted feedback to the videos claiming it was too depressing. Others posted that I'm a good actor and maybe should consider a career in that field. Personally I think I suck at acting because you can obviously hear hints to my voice that it isn't real. Plus the fact I didn't take my time on working out the problems such as how the gun shot ending you don't hear my computer hum in the background. The matter of how on earth anyone would keep the video out of police evidence while managing to mail it to Golem19 for upload. The perfect editing on how the video ends RIGHT after the gun if fired. And a number of other issues I failed to look into since this was just a 2-hour job and wasn't some major project that I was planning to sell off as a real suicide or to mail off for a movie deal. It's just a prank, and shouldn't be taken serious. ![]() You've NO idea how hard it is for me to keep off of RuneScape, and to keep out of RScc and Ventrilo on my actual accounts everyone knows me by. I was suffering perhaps a bit worse than those living with the worry that I might actually be dead.

before: x_X <- me Q.Q <- friends after: ^.^ <- me <_< <- friends I got an ear full from Miss Yoli78, Meissie40, Zg7, Slim, Paiten1, Hawk, and a few others. So yeah. Kind of laying low right now. And I need to find a way to end my RuneScape addiction. Yet another day I slept 3 hours and now I have to go to work. I'm wide awake at night but hate myself come morning. Oh well, always tell myself tomorrow will be different. Tomorrow will be the day I sleep at a normal hour. Edited by Kire667, Mar 2 2010, 04:09 PM.

I guessed it was fake but who knows with you erik :p I do hate jumping to conclusions. That said, despite being fake and an early april fools, faking suicide is a little over the top. I know it was only a joke but suicide is not something to take so lightly. It is, for some, a very touchy subject, so you need to be careful when pulling skits like that, especially on the net. Not trying to be a killjoy, just be careful ^^ Other than that I must say it was very well performed and executed. If you'd only had a slightly more realistic gun sound you'd have really had most of us fooled ![]() You love your drama far too much, you must love Bold and the Beautiful haha :p Edited by Veiled Black, Mar 3 2010, 04:44 AM.

An ear full from me? Me? Of all people? Hah! Long gone are the days citizens of catherby could always have the pleasure of seeing Dominion giving Zg7 an ear full about weekly drama. It now seems that the student is the more mature one of the 2 >.> Ay, at first I was offended/disgusted but really, as much as I would like to see someone such as Sam take over.. I'm glad to see you safe and behind the wheel once again. |

Shini: Never been much into watching television since I got on RS. And I heard of but haven't seen that show. Golem19: I tried but I just couldn't. After people started posted and it wasn't just a handful but a bulk of the members even those off other clans, I gave in and gave up the goat (sorry Goats United). Since the prank is over, I left the only video remaining being the one at your channel on YouTube. So expect a fair bit more views there from late comers back to RS that hear about it from those that actually lived it as it went on, and direct them there to love/hate on it. ![]() Zg7: Behind the wheel? I wish. I still can't get my life under control. I'm always tired and always late to work. Trying to cut back on the time I spend on games and more time for sleep, which means at an earlier hour in the day. Sooner or later I'll get the hang of it.
