History

I'm one of the oldest BM players. In fact if you look closely you'll see that the lowest ID number is Stuart's which is 10. Those 1-9 player ID's were from when the game was paused before it was started again. Well I rejoined the game after it was started up again, I can't remember if it was GreyMouser, GreyCloakk, or even James Marshall who told me the game started again, but I came back. Since then I've played through changes that have literally redefined the game. I could tell you stories about how archers once were the best and only way to win. Or perhaps you'd love to be regaled with a tale of how Perdan and Oligarch were the bitterest of enemies, and Fontan and Sirion were at eachothers throat. Ubent, Ibladesh, and Itrount destroying Isadril (reborn as Yssaria). I've been on every continent at least once, and could point to several realms which I've Ruled over except two (colonies, and the souths). So yeah, I've got a long time in the game. I've lately decided to take a back-seat and let other people fight. Mostly due to time constraints of my own. Trust me it is probably for the better, seeing as how I have a pattern of completely changing my mind about something and warring old friends in the blink of an eye. For a personal history of my characters check out my family page Relak Family.

Contact

I can be reached at loren.schmidt@american.edu, often times I will reply, but generally unless I know you I doubt I'll even open your email. A better bet is to contact one of my characters in game.

Fame

In my attempts to find out where all my fame points have come from, I'll be going through the confirmed ones first. Offices

• Ruler - 6 (earned all)
• General/Banker/Judge - 3 (earned all)
• Lord - 3 (earned all)
• Mentor - 1 (~3 books written)

Events

• Founded Guild - 2 (Vault Keepers Compact)
• Family Investment - 1
• Tournament Host - 1 (I've held several sucessful tournaments, in fact the highest prize was over 5k gold at one point)
• Moved/Built Palace - 1
• Executed Memeber - 1
• Wealth - 1 (2k, have never broken 5k)
• Hero death - 3/4 (I honestly can't remember how many I got, but it was quite a bit, no more than four though. NOTE: I have only had one hero die, Lelnor possibly was 'legendary'.)
• Killed A Man - 1 (Norel of ASI, killed Richard of Abington in a duel to the deal)

Prestige

• Individual - 3 (Lelnor alone at the time of his death was in the high 50's possibly low 60's)
• Family - 3 (at that time Gregor and Lelnor combined had the required 100 points)

Total: 29/30 accounted of 32.

Speculation: Basic premise of fame. It does not rely on figures other than those already used somewhere else. For instance, total lifetime profits of a trader would not be used (though it would be an interesting fame point). That means, skill, prestige, honor, age, time, etc. can all account for a fame point or two.

• Character age - Gregor is over 54 years old now. I'd have to talk to Stuart, but we might find that both of us have an unaccounted for point of fame no one else has (I think there are a few other 50+'ers now.
• Mentor Points - Gregor has accumulated over 140 mentor points.

Future plans: There are 8 fame points that are known that I do not have, which would put the Relak family at 38 points, leaving 2 points unknown. If I am wrong about the hero fame, that would bump it up even more. UPDATE: Got a completely unexpected point of Fame, nothing much seemed to have occured. Characters were sitting training, men/themselves. Leaves 1 unknown point left to find/get.
