The history of the term
It was originally used among hippies as an anglicism replacing the word "old" and was not a direct synonym for the word "famous" and "cool", as it is now with role players, but implied that the "old hippie" has long been in the System, and enjoys some authority, as old-timer There is an opinion that for the first time this characteristic was used in 1994 (anonymous heard this term in the role-playing environment back in 1993) by new participants in the RD in relation to the players of XI -90, who used the phrase “But in our time .. ."
Components of old age
Contrary to popular belief, old age does not primarily depend on the time during which you play role-playing games: you can occasionally visit games at least from the beginning of the nineties, but at the same time be an unknown dude, for example, if you ride with one team every time ( with his club) and play the fifth spearman in the third row.
Meanwhile, the main components of Oldovianism are, first of all, fame (the vast majority of roleplayers in his region should at least hear about the Oldovian). Secondly (but not least) is the respect of these role players, which is based on the recognition of his sensitivity in general and achievements, such as, for example, taking the team out, holding role play, a well-played role, etc.
At the same time, all of the above means that oldness is a variable value in at least two coordinates - in time and depending on the party in which a specific candidate for oldness is known or not known.
How to become old and why is it necessary?
For the sake of sweet oldness, the average roleplayer is capable of anything, but the path from no one's friend to oldovian is long and thorny. You have to spend a lot of time, money and effort on this, constantly going somewhere, fitting into various games and events. There is no easy way here: fame can be gained by anything, even stuffing an umbrella up your ass, but this has nothing to do with old age.
Is the game worth the candle? On the one hand, yes, since the Oldovian has the opportunity to assemble a team more easily than an ordinary roleplayer, get the Oldovian role of a leader (king, abbot, tough magician), again, when recruiting players for RI, the Oldovian masters play a significant role. On the other hand, if the bearers of this burden are to be believed, there is another side to the coin: everyone knows the playing style of the Oldovian, and it is difficult for him to be unpredictable, and it is almost impossible not to arouse suspicion in general. Well, who will believe, for example, Volorin, that his character is actually kind like Jesus, and not at all a hidden evil bastard?
Also, if the society is even more or less loyal to young role players, then the old character runs the risk of meeting acute misunderstanding among the civilians in the form of both just sidelong glances and attempts to turn him into a fool or cops (since a cynical human society raises suspicions of insanity, drug addiction or pedophilia, and not in the subtle structure of the soul). Also, a really old dude can live to see the sad moment when his former comrades-in-arms and witnesses of past victories are removed from the games in family life, other hobbies, parenting, business, or even alcoholism, Valhalla, or a mental hospital. Sometimes it's funny and sad, friends.
