Tonight W1 gets together one last time and celebrates with a final sleepy set FF gathering.... pillows and bears will be the weapon of choice and we will spend 55 rds mooching about and reminiscing like last nights Fancy Dress FF ball in the world saloon,saying our goodbyes, recanting old tales and memories of wars gone by, allies long since past, characters and players remembered, towns honoured and generally have a great time.
W1
We expect a turnout of around 20 or so people despite double that who have enjoyed coming to ff already migrating... W1 goes out with approx 20% of the world still coming along to the final gathering.....which is FANTASTIC proving there is no such thing as a ff dead world, only effort on the part of the players who when properly encouraged and knowing they will have fun, continue to gather in numbers to come together and enjoy an hr running about and enjoying their game. No dramas, no arguing, no raging only fun, giggles and smiles... THIS is what the game is about and I am truly honoured to have been here from the very beginning, learning the game and how to Duel in the legendary town The Shadow City which inspired me and many others to spread the word to friends far and wide...and so it began.
The west had opened up and hundreds of thousands of settlers were on their way to populate W1 and other worlds in many dimensions, all similar but never the same. The goldrush had begun and the history books would over the coming years record the taming of The Wild West. All the time W1 remained separate, classic and immune to most changes....until 2017 with the first exodus when told W1 would be wiped from the servers and closed...this proved to be false but the damage had been done and 90% of the world was diminished from its former glory. Yet a spark lived on, some had refused to leave and fight on so remained and slowly came to adapt, adjust and love the new vast spaces and occasional dueling and sporadic ff. Relative peace times had arrived to W1 and the wars had become a FF marathon of more skirmishes with dozens instead of hundreds, the final Large Fort fell to our alliance and coalition on Thus 5rd Aug 21 11:32 pm and responsibility for every county passed into our hands. Lasting peace had finally come to W1 and that is how the story of W1 ends.
With total peace and..........A truly everlasting peaceful United States . What a ride its been !
A record and testament to the final rankings of those who have stayed until the end and final ff gathering on what has been possibly THE best and one of the most famous worlds ever...
Special mention must be given to The Shadow City which exists today in many world dimensions,always dueling and arguably THE most Infamous original dueling town on The West.net
TSC also formed the very first proper alliance ever created, The Shadow Brotherhood - SB and went on to fight The Wests first world war vs the Meistas Empire in what we called The Shadow Meistas TW War. No forts involved just hundreds of players duelling like crazy in towns day in, day out 24/7. TSB won after a few months....and the legend of The Shadow City and its dueling prowess was born. Where tactical fighting skills and strategy were honed and insults or baiting became an art form.
Below is the final W1 top 9 towns/players overall ranking and whilst it is only a fraction of the many great towns and people who have populated W1 over 13 years, most go back to the very early years and some even 2008 so deserve to be recognised and recorded here as the sun sets on W1.

Feel free to add a role call below of players and towns or memories you remember from those pioneering days. When the west was wild, there were no forts, no pants, when it took and would travel for 7 hrs from one side of the map to the other to get to a town for one duel and we didnt care one jot .
