I started playing toribash in 2008 and was incredibly active until around 2010. After that I did the occasional game, but I stopped keeping up with the community entirely.
Some years later around the end of 2014 I came back.
Everything was different. All the players I knew were gone. All records were broken. Suddenly tricking was more popular than getting points. Abd suddenly was a thing. There was a market for textures and nobody did the textures themselves anymore.
The only thing that remained, were some of the old school clans.
And Evil is the most old school one there is. I love toribash, but I still live in the past. And my best way to express my nostalgia was to join Evil. For me, Evil is the Legacy of old school toribash and thus I identify with Evil
