Grey/gut

[Epythic]

I guess by now everyone knows about Grey's and guts.. ehm.. friendship. Problem is, I missed the beginning, and without knowing how it started it's only half as funny. Would you please give me a pointer?

They are probably a one person, whose two parts of mind are in permanent conflict for:
a) should the 7th letter of the alphabet be 'G' or 'g';
b) does TH suck or not;
c) who (among them) has accomplished more ultimate challenges and created and/or checked more insane ideas about how ADOM work;
d) and probably something more

I have no evidence on points a) and c) and generally about their true natures but refer to http://www.adom.de/forums/showthread.php?t=417 about point b) (honestly, I wasn't able to make myself read the whole thread, so I can't show the precise rage)

Do a search for "Weakest Link". It had Grey and gut on two different teams in what is probably the best challenge game we ever had (and which I'd like to see repeated - it's been ten and a half months since then). I don't know exactly if it began any earlier, but that's where their legendary rivalry flared up with the passion of a thousand suns. It might be worth it to read through the discussion, fire and water threads, though any of the related threads is bound to have one instance of them bickering with each other.

The Treasure Hunter challenge has its spiritual predecessor in the Race Wars, where three teams, one for each alignment with an assigned set of classes, competed to attain the highest number of wins. And as you might guess, the Race Wars had gut and Grey once again on different teams. Hilarity ensued.

It's hard to believe Grey didn't have the current situation rigged

EDIT: And yeah, the Treasure Hunter debate in its original run had them antagonize each other as well, with gut producing frivolous walls of text and Grey being his main adversary countering him with equally frivolous walls of text, albeit with fewer line breaks.

EDIT2: Seriously, we need another Weakest Link. The original was announced/proposed on May 8th. By then we should be finished with Treasure Hunter - it won't take long for the TH sucks n00b fags to all die because they didn't find carrot juice in time and couldn't escape across a river.

I know of the Weakest Link challenge, I didn't participate but I watched it closely. We really should do something like that again.

But I had the impression that it began earlier.

EDIT: Maybe Grey/gut themselves can comment on this?
EDIT: Haha, weird thought: rename the two unicorns to Grey and gut

Eh, I find the whole thing childish. Who knows, though, other people might actually care.

Okay, it started on May 6th over at the Hall of Fame forums actually.

I'm not sure exactly when the rivalry started, to be quite honest... You'd have to dig through the Hall of Fame forums a bit.

It's funny at times, but well, these things can grow old...

Grey is my favorite poster on all the forums and
newsgroups on the net, period (of course I only
visit ADOM and MMA ones though ). Can't remember
a time where he has actually gotten on my nerves
in the slightest. Every challenge I, or pretty much
anyone, sets for themselves and posts about on
the forums, he contributes ideas and encouragement.
His knowledge of obscure ADOM trivia is second to
none, and he's an ancient member of the ADOM
comunity, as opposed to my own joining of only one
year ago. Hard to believe eh?

We agree more than we disagree by a long shot, but
the thing is, the walls of text we generate when we
don't : ) We have been on opposite sides of many
debates both social and ADOM related, but like Silfir
said, we only started sniping at each other during the
weakest link challenge. About it 'getting old', well
that's prolly my fault, as I tend to type out about 2
snipes to Grey's 1 : ) I don't plan to stop, because
it's fun sniping at someone you know won't take it
seriously. Maybe I'll slow down a bit though : )

What is the jist of the weakest link? (For those who just want a once sentence summary.)

Four teams played the same hurthling priest, with
the goal being to dive in the ID as deeply as possible.


My team won by a mile : )
