Club Fu Train Index

Post by Siji »

Because it was fun then and it's fun now.


CLUB FU TRAIN INDEX

Trains in EverQuest are an inevitable occurrence. Yet despite the frequency of trains, little effort has been expended towards the scientific goal of rating these oft-maligned forces of nature.

Until now . . .

NOTE - For your train to be valid for rating under the CFTI, it must be an UNPLANNED train. While any idiot can maliciously cause a train if they set their mind to it, TRUE training comes from the heart. It is the wondrous alignment of lag, carelessness, and sheer dumb luck that coalesces into a living, breathing example of Chaos Theory at it's finest. Spontaneity is your goal, and this is defeated by premeditation or intentional efforts to increase your CFTI once you realize your innocent little pull has mutated into the most feared of all events . .
. a train.

This index would not have been possible without the dedicated, nay FANATIC efforts of the many pullers within Club Fu (under the dedicated tutelage of our guild mistress Pouty Lee) and across our server. I would thank you individually, but I'm too busy looting my corpse.
