June 9, 200620 yr The Night Falador Died (with apologies to Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died") Durial123 was a pk'er on the east side of Fallidor back on world 111 back in the bad old days. In the heat of a winter night In the land down under When the town of Fally died And they talk about it still. When a pker named Durial123 Tried to make that world his own And he called his gang to war Against the forces of the mods I heard a cry (My Phat!) I saw them pray the night Fally died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard a cry (Guthans!) I saw them pray the night Fally died Brother, what a night the people saw Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed And the sound of the battle rang Through the streets of ol' Fally 'Til the last of the hoodlum gang Had been booted out or died There was shouting in the street And the sound of running feet And I asked someone who said 'Bout a hundred players are dead I heard a cry (Bank your items!) I saw them pray the night Fally died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight the people saw Yes, indeed Then there was no sound at all But the system update ticking down Then the door burst open wide And Mod Murdoch stepped inside And Mod Paul brushed their tears away I heard a cry (Locked Out!) I saw them pray the night Fally died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be I heard a cry (**** PK'ers) I saw them pray the night Fally died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Yes, Indeed The night Fally died The night Fally died Brother, what a night it really was Brother, what a fight it really was Glory be The night Fally died The night Fally died ... Having been Pk'd myself three times in the month before construction came out to the tune of half a million gp cost to me (and I'm not a pker), I sympathize with the losers but for major updates the occaisional glitch is to be expected. For those too young (or too tasteful :)) to remember, "The Night Chicago Died" was made popular back in the 70s by a band called Paper Lace. If you've never heard of them that's probably because they only had one other hit, "Billy Don't Be A Hero" and faded into oblivion thereafter.

June 9, 200620 yr 1 question can i have your permition to use that in the book im writing about runescape?
June 9, 200620 yr lol NICE poem/song!! -sniffs- Being a veteran to Runescape in general.. You brought tears in my eyes.. I feel Runescape not as just game, but an actual RPG, each person can be a TRUE person, buildings are actual buildings. And poems and storys make it feel so true, the emotion. The vision of seeing one of the all powerful Mod's coming and wiping the tears away from the ones who had died. Excellent, excellent. Nothing more. Wolfy is Officially Retired.I miss you all (Well, mostly my friends n stuff)If you want to talk to me, send me a message, I check the boards daily. :D
June 9, 200620 yr Author Yes, Coolx4guy, permission to use with proper attributions is given by me. Just remember to give Paper Lace their bit of credit too. They deserve it for the music and original. The original song and lyrics are about a boy who's dad is a cop in Chicago during Al Capone's day and his worries about his dad. And thanks Bobby1167 for the correction, guess I need an editor. :) Not a bad first posting I guess. I've been playing runescape since late 2004 and lurking on tip.it almost as long. Thanx for the response.

June 9, 200620 yr I love that song, I probably shouldn't, but I do. :P Nice job rewriting your own version. While I think the event doesn't deserve a song, it still is fitting.

June 9, 200620 yr Just wait 'till Bubsa reads this thread... :lol:He has been informed via MSN hehe. Nice work man, you have some awesome talent.
June 9, 200620 yr I've gotta say, that's a smashing effort! :D The words and the rhythm stay similar to the original, which is a big key to 'success' on these things. Good job! Any ambition to sing it for us? :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

June 10, 200620 yr Author it's organized in stanza, because it's supposed to be sung to the tune of Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died". It's a parody/filk song.
