Initiates of Fury
And so the warriors grow weary of swinging swords and captaining bands of lessers. They turn to the craft, the wisdom of Fury and the boon of the unwary. As prophets they only begin...

Bio:
The name rishib is a mysterious one. The first part, rishi, could be a Sanskrit word that means scholar or sage. But then what does the b stand for? Or it could be that the name is ris hib...but no one can figure what that means either. The open question that surrounds the name only contibutes to the mystery that is rishib.

Bio:
wyrmmlore is derived from the celtic word for dragon, being wyrm, the lore is basically lore as in legend, translated, it means dragon legend, "wyrmmlore"
I see you, cowering behind your shield, wondering at the cruelty & harshness of it all.
in all the noise of battle, an eerie place unfolds & the noise becomes a humming Din that sings a sweet song to those who would savour it most, & yet behind the battle fields, away from the throng of carnage, a battle of a different kind wages.
It is a battle of thought, of cunning, of great deals that turn wars & alter history, here is my playground & here is where you should fear me most.
Bring it

Bio:
My overriding philosophy in this game: What ever came before, never close off your alternatives. Enemies today can be allies tomorrow, if the situation is right. But when trust is broken, all bets are off. Crazy Horse can attest to this - he has been ally, sworn enemy, and back to ally again!
My hat is off to the creators and beta-testers of this game. VERY well done! Check out the Lesson in Pain (LiP) newsgroup in the lobby, and look below for a history of the LiP series. LiP is my favorite game format - the more the merrier! Find five trustworthy companions and try your skills against the Devil's Advocates, Bulletproof, Rainbow Six and other notable champions of the LiP series!
Victories:
Individual - Second and third wins were Two Week Sprint (cut throat, two ticks per day, 20 cycle max) and Quick Draw II. I can't remember which game was my first...I think maybe my Thorns of Experience game. It was a while ago. Fourth and fifth came in the Age of Immortals series - numbers 5 and (I think) 7. Sixth and most recent win was in Manticore's variation called Shadows of Nergal.
Team - LiP II*, LiP III*, LiP V, EN Champions Cup, and two of the six Threshold of Elimination tournament games (our team won the overall tournament as well), and Generations 3*. Also was part of the Fire team that won the Battle of Fangorn Forest.
* - Captained my team
LiP History:
Created the Lesson in Pain game template (with help from many) to allow for preset team game format so that I could play with several individuals as allies without entering a game with preset alliances (also known as "clanning"). The key theme to LiP is "all for one, one for all." A team of top notch players who do not play together will lose to a well coordinated team of lesser individual skill, and that is as it should be. Six players per team with DR set gives the ideal EN balance, in my opinion. COOP, CBB, FTG and FFG create the atmosphere in which team communication and coordination become paramount. With a properly sized purse and a large enough SB (I believe 3 is the number being used at present), the team can be held accountable for a single teammate being driven to the brink of elimination. As LiP IX also showed, the series is the most diplomatically challenging template in EN. Truly the finest test of team play in Evernight, if I do say so myself!
I have competed in LiPs I, II, III, V, VII, VIII and IX. My team, the Devil's Advocates, finished second in LiP I, won LiPs II, III, and V, finished fifth in LiP VII, fourth in LiP VIII, and just made the purse at third in the brutal LiP IX. I captained the team in LiPs I, II, III, VII, VIII and IX. Heckler captained in LiP V, as I was time constrained and so could only play, not lead.
Past LiP Champions and captain of the team (as of the last time I updated this Bio):
LiP I: Brothers in Arms (wrymmlore)
LiP II: Devil's Advocates (Beefy)
LiP III: Devil's Advocates (Beefy)
LiP IV: Rainbow Six (WaterDios)
LiP V: Devil's Advocates (Heckler)
LiP VI: Bad News Bears (Bartman)
LiP VII: Revindicare (Jodyman01)
LiP VIII: Bulletproof! (Printer)
LiP IX: Bulletproof (blckjck)
Devil's Advocates Record:
As a team, the Devil's Advocates may be the most successful agglomeration of talent in the history of EN. A fairly stable group of players that have achieved tremendous success playing with and for each other, the Devil's Advocates are always a team to be feared! The team has played in seven LiP contests and the EN Champions Cup, and has won four of those games, while also coming in second in LiP I.
I am the only player to have played on all the Devil's Advocate teams. Two players have been on seven Devil's Advocates teams: Cajun and Imperator. Heckler has played on five of the Devil's Advocates rosters, missing the victory in LiP II and the fifth place finish in LiP VII. The original six included the four mentioned and Pooter and Endymion, who each played on the first three Devil's Advocates rosters for LiPs I, II, and III. Wolfmurphy filled in for Heckler in LiP II, but that was his only game for the team. After LiP III, Pooter and Endymion left the hobby, so Luhego and gondi joined the team for LiP V. Luhego only played the one game for the team, but gondi has played four times, also joining our most recent victory in the EN Champions Cup and the team for LiP VII and VIII. Foehammer filled in for Luhego and has played in four contests now, the EN Cup and LiP VII, VIII and IX. Zoldar played for the team for the first time in LiP VII. The Godfather replaced Heckler for LiP VIII and IX. LiP IX was the first major turnover in the team roster, as The Godfather, Foehammer and I welcomed first timers Bobcobra, Skunk Ape, and The Mad Scot.
The team has had two captains: Beefy, for LiPs I, II, III, VII, VIII, and IX; and Heckler, for LiP V and the EN Champions Cup.

Bio:
Treasure freedom it is your greatest friend. I have been all my life opinionated, i have strong views but value all views from people around me. Treat people around you with respect, always show honour, seek the truth and it shall seek you. Understand what makes people tick, and get the best from life. Live it and love it !!
First Win: Battle of the Greenhorns. Thanks to Henning the Great for making this a series that moves to BotG 2 - maybe the baton will pass on and it can pass on and be a follow on to Thorns of Experience. I hope So ;)
Second Win: Yakmi's 100th Game. Enjoyed the game, a lot of controversy...thankfully not really embroiled myself :D
Third Win: You know i cannot remember, the most memorable thing about the game was the demise of The MAd Scot in game, he had a whole bunch of excuses...the natives killed him. So he can at least say NO PERSON has taken his scalp. The natives still talk of his defeat...he was assassinated while aslep. Muahahahahaha !
There are many players i have met who have left there mark and i would like to mention them;
The Mad Scot - a 'true friend' who walks with poetry and the absolute honesty that is white.
Sherm - who is the best player in the game, end of !
Woolf - who brings joy to all with his contribution by drawing in people.
Tyrus - truly genuine, and i would be glad to call her friend.
Brother Grimm - a fellow brit & a fellow parent, hope he's still out there !
Slow Poison - always there when i need him, and ready to assist in every way.
Wrymmlore - an Oz i find funny & genuine. A great player on walkabout !
Hoodo - my swedish friend...who i would love to meet and share a beer. My skank.
Brahm Tazoul - who owns a liquor store, everyone should have this kind of friend...8]
Ragnorock - another great Canadian, we share many things in common. :D
Dark Blade - a mildly amusin canadian, with a big heart :)
Maximus Prime - plays poker and stuff.
I will add others who i meet and bring too much for me not to share.

I am the Dark @ne, I am not here to conquer the world of EN, I am here because the Darkness will always be here and so shall I. I can be defeated, but it matters not to me as you can not destroy the Darkness, only send it away for a short time. Embrace the Darkness for it shall consume you sooner or later and time has little meaning to the Dark....
