Scum - A History

Since the dawn of cave doodles, mankind has found a way to make his mark in the world. Or in the case of the Scum ... splattered, smeared and dropped the mark on the world.



A long, long time ago -- so long ago actually that we don’t even remember the exact date -- Gob Bushsniper started the guild The Severed Tongue. His goal was to gather scum that had stats that were better than other players with the same level. He spoke the legendary words:

"The only thing more highly regarded than a well-placed dagger in the back 
... are two well-placed daggers in the back."

He disappeared without a trace soon afterward, leaving behind only two bloody daggers.

Proof of madness
“The Severed Tongue is a group totally opposed to the rules of fair play and most things fuzzy and cute.  Some dogs and the occasional penguin are fine, but no cats. we at the Severed Tongue HATE cats!  Now, where was I? ... Right - irrational hatred.  WE'RE FOR IT!

Well as you can see, all in all we're bad, reeeal bad. 


So, to recap, if you hate most cute and fuzzy things and fair play AND are down with maniacal laughter, backstabbing, and pushing old ladies into oncoming traffic, you're in.”

In the Absence of Gob, Vertex took over. Vertex was busy creating a game and made some fancy tools for the guild. One sent out a warning mail to all guild members when the guild was under attack. Or so I heard, because we've never actually seen it work. Vertex went on a business trip to become a rich man and somehow never made it back. How strange…

Proof of Madness
Nothing in recorded history (it is called prehistory for a reason you know...)

With Vertex out of the way, FlyingJoe took over. He seemed to have gathered great wealth somehow. Joe skyrocketed through the HoF and so did the Severed Tongue. Enemies of old disappeared and new enemies entered the scene, but the lowlifes slowly kept climbing through the Top Ten. Then shortly after FlyingJoe lost his eyesight in a freak accident involving Xarian’s shining beacons of light (or so he claims), he somehow lost control of his throne.

Proof of madness
 As I've grown more powerful and despotic, I've since subjugated the Guild leaders,  
Gob and Vertex, to my will... Nyahahahaha!!!! 
(how many exclamation points does it take to fully convey madness again? Was it 4 or 5?)

Yes, FlyingJoe is now currently wielding the vast power of The Severed Tongue Guild!
(and just pretend I added 3 more exclamation points, ok?)

It was a time of many things happening. We lost our biggest players, and regained some later. We fell down the HoF and started climbing again. The coming of guild dungeons and the slavelabor that followed. Scum joining and scum leaving. But history is still being written as we speak.

Proof of madness

Joe got old and tired of all you scum whining and moaning and decided it was time to retire. 
Sadly, I wasn’t quick enough to dodge his grasp when he was looking for someone to sacrifice
for the good cause. 
And here we are now. 
By the way, those stab wounds in FlyingJoe's back were self-inflicted (he has no eyes you know)

So we just entered a new era, the era of Ghetto the first. it will be glorious beyond imagination! Or very scummy…  whatever happens first I guess.”
