If I remember correctly, I came about because of a board revamp (I think it might have been when the Legionnaires board ceased to be, but it may have just been a board hiccup. In any case, LMBP continuity suffered a hiccup, and Newcru King (currently known as The Crusader) was rebooted as Princess Crujectra. I believe this was also when we first saw Loser Snake and Lashwire.
When the continuity went back to normal, Newcru King returned, but with a twin sister, Princess Crujectra.
I believe it was at that time that I modified the siblings' powers, replacing Newcru's original "super-cleaning" powers with telepathy and telekinesis, and gave Crujectra illusion casting and limited precognition.
Down the road, Crujectra's limited tactile telekinesis manifested, which I use mostly to enhance my strength. I believe that my precognitive powers have faded away, though

Postathons were always a blast to do to, I think the last one I had (not counting the regular nightly postathons here, making this place really cool) was with Lardy, Lash and Midnight Son on the Phineas board. That's part of the reason SHAKES is so cool, someones always around!
Those threads were fun. I remember racking up pages upon pages of pure spam...

Grey, that LMB portrait I think pretty much sums up Year One, who the members were (that posted all the time), with only a few exceptions!

I think that first reboot of the board happened sometime in Year Two when I wasn't posting that often. I remember checking in to find Loser a Snake, and Newcru a princess. Where there any other funny reboots. This first continuity retcon was in Year Two, but was it connected to Lash's retcon powers (I think they came later), Lucien's (ditto) or the Living Retcon? I think the Living Retcon happened sometime in Year Two. Also, Lash took on the name Lashwire for a time during the beginning of Year Two.

Well, you've been a Daxamite, and then a Durlan, and then back to a Daxamite, right? Are there any other races that you find cool?
(I'm a fan of mini-retcons. They can be confusing sometimes, but it's fun to give yourself little tweaks from time to time... keeps things fresh )

That might be what happened. I was thinking it was "board" related, but perhaps it was more "bored" related

Must interject how much fun it is to "hear" all of you remininscing about the LMBP. Reminds me of holidays when I was a kid, sitting at the table, and listening to the grown ups tell family stories from way back when!

Gee... it's not every day that the LMBP gets compared to adults

Thanks Var, it's good to know you find it interesting! I myself am interested in hearing about the last few months of LMB continuity when you first joined! I had just wrapped up my term as leader, then I guess a whole bunch of you guys joined up!
Dev, retconning yourself is always fun. I usually assume that a true retcon means that that was the way it was the whole time, like Princess Crujectra always having been Crusader's sister! Say Princess, is your brother still around, or his on a leave of absence?
I figure part of the fun will be for each individual to figure out what their exact continuity is. Hasn't a certain Princess Crujectra had long standing relationships with Loser Lad and Iron Rat, as well as little flings (even with a certain Cobalt Kid )
Up next, I plan to start going over Year Two and finalizing the continuity of Year One in a more structured order. Does anyone have anything else about Year One they want to mention that we've forgotten? We'll add it later if we've forgotten tidbits, but it's always good to hear more!
Whenever there were retcons, we'll say that there was a major crisis that occured. The major times I can think of were the one we've just mentioned, The Living Retcon, Lil' Lash and Seahorse adventure, the death of the Legionnaires board, the death of the next board after that, and any times that Lucien, Lash or others screwed up continuity . We should try and figure out a coherent continuity for these conitnuity blips:) I figure the Living Retcon and Lil' Lash stories fit in nicely (maybe the Living Retcon was responsible for the Loser-snake period and it's subsequent change back), and the two deaths of the boards are the two Crisis (the first is against the Anti-Moderator where the Legionnaires board died, and a few alt Id's did like Foxy Roxy), and the second crisis is the deaths of the cool board we had after (can't remember what we called it) and the actual DC boards, which resulted in the death of Space Tart among others! What do you guys think, does this straiten it out even a little?

Princess, you don't know what those adults to whom I was comparing you guys were like. Most are gone now but they would have fit right in at SHAKES, believe me!

Ahhkkk! This thread just made me realize that we have to wrap up the latest LMBP Adventure "Super Jailhouse of Space" I think it's hanging in limbo right now, ever since the LW Great Darkness!
EDE, Lasher, what say we get it finished?

I just bumped it up so it would be easier to find.
Let's get to it!
