anniversary

Old School Runescape went ahead and commemorated one of, if not the most fateful day in Runescape history yesterday. It was the Falador Massacre, and in case you didn't know, here's how it went down:

Player Cursed You maxed out his Construction skill, invited a few dozen friends into his house, things got a little bit rowdy as they will when the band gets together, a sparring combat ring was assembled in the house, which flagged players for PvP. But here's where it gets interesting...

When Cursed You kicked people out of his house, they remained flagged for PvP, and a horde of revellers marauded through Falador, laying bloody waste to everyone in their path. 

The tortured cries of 'bank your items!' echo into eternity...

So, in honor of that fateful day the Old School Runescape team set up a tournament in World 666 that made Falador a battleground once more.

Appropriate, don't care, or distasteful? Have at it:

Yeah, I distinctly recall when this minigame was unleashed..

From Know Your Meme:

The flash video was first uploaded to Albino Blacksheep on October 30, 2003 and credited to user Fluid. The flash animation is notable for its extremely quick viral spread, and the amount of copies of the original uploaded to various websites. It is also well known for a few notable catchphrases:

‘Hokay so here’s the earth
Damn that is a sweet earth, you might say
AHHHHH MOTHERLAND
But I am le tired… Well. Then. Have a nap. THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!
WTF, Mate?
Those Chinese sons of a b*tches are goin down
