And now for something completely different... since retiring I've been doing
some reminiscing.  I thought, hey, why not go through my reincs and guilds and
list what I've accomplished, etc. for each.  So here goes...
alchemists:  got all potions before the guild got more combos and new
materials, so I'm short a few now.
barbarian: never done, intrigued by the rep system though, could see myself in
a reinc just to do barb elder.
bard: got all spells kbh'd except for the most recent player luck fucking
spell melody of misadventurer.  never had the heart to do a full bard reinc
just to get that spell kbh'd.  also, got a couple top end instruments made as
well.
beastmaster: after dinking with mounts in knights, no plans on ever reincing
into that guild.  mounts = the suck for a casual player.
bmage: not open yet.
cavalier: never done it, should have for the current knight reinc.  cavaliers
need knights and vice-versa.
channellers: done this when it was still in civ background.  had all of the
guild quests, but I'm sure those are reset by now, same with my rep earned. 
not a bad little guild, good as a support but not as a primary.  highly
considered doing a psi-channeller reinc. until the BatMud: The Fuck-over. 
(and yes, you'll see me say that a few more times)
civ_fighters: never done, pondered this with a full bard/merchie reinc combo,
decided to go with knights instead.  since learned this combo would have
rocked harder than doing knights guild.
civmage: just a short time reinc for a few levels, not much to say about this
guild other than this was before the blast masteries were added to the guild. 
at the time I was in, I was the only one in the guild.
conjurer: done this guild before the rep system.  when I was in between jobs
after getting laid off, I did a mage-conju reinc for Ewige.  my goodness did I
have fun then. 
crimson: did a fighter as my very first guild joining the game.  well, this is
the closest to it since 2 conversions.  no plans on going back unless I had
done that barbie reinc.
druids: never done it.  back in the day when I thought about it, I didn't want
to deal with player leads and dealing with griefing assholes in charge of the
guild.  still no interest unless someone funded me to do a tarm-druid reinc.
knight: currently reinced in, completely underpowered without cavaliers guild.
 got all rep except for the capture the mob final rep.  then I ran out of
motivation to complete and then BatMud: The Fuck-over (see, here it is again!)
 would still have knowledge rep if I ever reinc out.
lord_chaos: my first guild after conversion 95-96.  I joined it because Ikar
and I were good friends.  still my favorite in my heart, even in spite of the
fucked up rep overhaul several years ago which basically made my blade rep of
several years get tuned to nada.  still got a top 10 blade yet though, over
200k souls in it.  may yet reinc into it one last time for kick-off into
full-on oblivion retirement.
mage: done this reinc once before the rep system came into being.  I did 'ok'
merchant: shit, if you love solo-able, non-timed, thinking quests/rep system,
look no further.  I love the hell out of this guild too thanks to the efforts
of Melemkor.  got tier 2 belt and all but lvl 6 ship and brig quests (since I
never could get ahold of the shipbuilding armors).  second favorite only to
locs
monk: done this pre-conv. 95-96 back when a dragonified monk with martial arts
at 100 would destroy stuff.  haven't done new one, in fact, never done a
single good_relig reinc since conversion 96.  never appealled to me for some
reason.
navigator: once did 5 lvl reinc back before the explore % cap.
nun: would have love to have done this guild when I was unemployed and could
waste 12 hours a day questing.  now, this guild is out of the question.  still
interests me to this day though.  I'm a sucker for questing rep systems.
priests: never done a full on priest reinc.  always partial to support loc. 
guess I never wanted to do habos.
psionicist: did this guild once before, had some komd.  wouldn't mind doing
that channeller with this guild reinc for exp.  well, before BatMud: The
Fuck-over.
ranger: never done it, don't plan on it, since the rep quests are pretty
brain-dead, grind the repeat macro style.  the exact opposite of what I look
for in questing systems
reaver: guild intrigues me, the very next reinc was going to be a reaver/loc
reinc., then, yes, you guess it, BatMud:The Fuck-over occurred.  much sadness.
runecarvers/runemages: never tried it, no interest
sabres: never done a full reinc, always done 1 level while in civ reincs to
monger sabre points for easy events.  love-love the rep system by doing
events.  pretty much broken now due to BatMud: The Fuck-Over at the moment.
samurai: heh, I knew the original wizard (Mastermind) personally that was
going to do this guild.  that was, uhm, 14-15 years ago?  instead, we get this
new continent system.  yeah, good choice there arches.
serv_oxtoth (assume new necros): never did the old necros, but good friend
did.  wish I had before the conversion hit.  pretty nifty.
squires: meh.
spiders: never done it, thought lightly about a reinc or 2, never panned out.
tarmalen: did healer levels in the pre-96 conversion, back when we had healer
crystals.  I loved logging on just to heal for some easy money.  I miss those
crystals. *sniff*
templar: never done it, rep system was never enough to entice me to join up.
tiger: always done this as a full guild to pair up with loc.  had some nice
rep, I'm sure is long gone now.  too bad claw got nerfed along with dim mak.
wanderers: *laugh* what a fucking joke.  someday, someone will wake up who
gives a damn about casual players and the vast time sink of boredom that
travel is at the moment.
other misc guilds: tree navs, nope!  wish I had though, e-z money.  imm: 
pondered it, now I have no reason to contribute to a game that I don't enjoy
playing.  infernal knight: ooh, it rocked, but I didn't join it.  should have
in retrospect.  shaman: didn't last long, was pretty bs though from what I
recall.

Whew!  And I'm about out of space, so signing off, and thanks for reading this
far, you brave soul you!  Tonight's blog entry brought to you by "Upside Down"

Shit, forgot thieves.  Never done them (I wasn't cool enough to get invited). 
Had a good friend with them.  Nifty guild once true steal got nerfed a bit. 
Then triple backstab got the tunepole, and the guild imploded.    Do remember
getting my sbs stolen off of me by Radagast.  I think shortly thereafter
slotted armors stopped being so easy to be "removed by a thief by walking
through the room".
