I got the Myth TFL demo on a MacFormat CD of my brother's some time in 1997. We both got heavily into it and bought the full game. Then Myth 2 came. We played through them together but he was better at the game. I was far more interested in the story and music and what made the game's atmosphere so outstanding.
I wondered if there was anyone else on the net who shared my feelings to the game and did some searches for story aspects on Google. Myth@Bungie.org kept on turning up but I always ignored it as I thought (stupidly) that it was an offcial Bungie site and they wouldn't give any info that wasn't in the game. Eventually I took the plunge having found little else of interest. It was then that I realised how much I was missing and I quickly read through everything in Legends and Lore. Only then did I venture a post here at the Asylum. It was something about Myrmidons in the Iliad (http://carnage.bungie.org/myth/asylum/asylum.forum.pl?read=11481) as I was sudying it at school. I got a really encouraging response from Sili and quickly became more involved here.
As I became more and more involved, I started coming up with interesting theories with diagrams and such but couldn't post them easily.
I then went on a trip to Ireland with my family for two weeks. During our stay in Dublin, we went to the Trinity College museum and, because I had heard Irish mythology had influenced Myth, I looked through some of the books in the giftshop finding shedloads of stuff. The result of my research was the article on Celtic Mythology in Relics.
A short time after, Forrest announced his "semi-resignation" from the site and I jumped on the opportunity.
Through this site I started checking out the other bungie.org sites and sometimes pop my head into hbo and the story page. I think the Bungie community is such a cool society and my hope is that I will soon get to meet all you guys in the flesh.
I now have full FTP privs here and am trying to put some more content on the site to bring back some activity. I'm really glad with the crrent spurt in action here and I hope more is still to come.
Oh, and Happy Bungie Day everyone.
