Castle Paradox

[khfan15]

OK, since a lot of people seem to be voting for OHR House [Series] instead of the individual chapters (and that sounds like a good idea to me personally) I think it would be good to combine the two. If you voted for individual episodes, could you edit your votes to reflect this? (It'll give you the freedom to add another game!)

Also: Wandering Hamster is currently topping the chart (0_0)! Keep up the votes, everyone!

[The question was who had the most influence on the community, so it'd make sense to pick earlier people.]



"Aeth, I'm curious if you've played anything that was made in the past five years."

Missing was made only about a year ago and it's on his list.



"W:P1 - 1% OMGaudpi! What happened to the percentage? The game's getting a major overhaul, foos!"

Huh? You could have told me that, seeing as I'm co-author and all.

That was not the question. The question was:

That's true PHC, I didn't just pick old people at random. It's just that most of the people that are called influential today had precursors. For instance, Inferior Minion probably isn't as influential as Huckd because CP basically is (through intermediaries) RPG-Online.

Also, are you sure Huckd founded Operation: OHR? I thought Cody did that.

I think Ben-Ohki has had longer psychological influence on the community than Huckd did. Ben-Ohki is also the founder of the first OHR "company" and is the precursor (and most powerful example of) OHR drama.

I can't even remember who Ben-Ohki is (and I doubt that any of the new users would either). But then, it's an open-ended question. I'm glad to see different results among the votes.

I'd say "read your Hist-OHR-y", but it's my fault for being so lazy and not writing them as I said I would. Ben-Ohki is mentioned in the first Hist-OHR-y, though admittedly it doesn't provide the most interesting information about him.

I think you underestimate his fame however: he was in the community for a long while (the first five years or so, out of the OHR's ten), so even people who only joined in 2002 should remember him. I'd be surprised if more than 50% of the people on this board never heard of him.

I joined in early 2001 and all I know about Ben Ohki is that he apparently whined a lot and almost everybody for one reason or another disliked him. His lasting influence on the community is practically nil. Huck'd undoubtedly had a farther reaching influence, especially seeing that Monterrey Penguin is still considered a landmark title, whereas the number of people I could name who've played Sekai no Owari could be counted on (perhaps less than) one hand. (And, yes, Cody Watts founded Op:OHR, but Huck'd helped maintain it; he was also for a good deal of time one of the only two admins at post-RPGBoard Zant.) But although these people may have fulfilled the roles other people have taken on now, but their legacies have for the most part left the minds of the community. Though they may have at one point been largely influential, nowadays I'd say it's waned a good deal.

[Rinku]

I forgot to mention, but Ben-Ohki also ran the first OHR review site, predating RPG-Online. I don't like him much either, I think he was borderline psychotic when I knew him, but I think he had a strong influence on this community: first review site, first OHR company (arguably a parent company to RPGCreations since its two founding members came out of Insight Games), and a fairly well-thought out but incomplete game (Sekai No Owari) add up to pretty influential to the community to me. He was also one of the most regular personalities on the messageboards, and although that doesn't count for much the community is influenced most by the people who post the most often.
