| - | Saurian's first posts were in the creation of a thread in Gameplay. For a film class, Saurian had decided to make a documentary on the game, and wished to find other players in his home state of Maine. He found very few, and almost none willing to be involved in the documentary. For a while after that, he spent his time lurking throughout the forums.

| - | His first foray into RR was at the behest of his real-life friend [[User:Janus|Lordjanus]], who had already been a regular for a little while. Saurian quickly found the games to be addicting, and eventually was persuaded to begin joining in the regular random threads.

| - | The earliest thread that Saurian was involved with was [[Captain Planet]], created by [[Kenny Strife]]. While it began as a thread devoted to making fun of and reminiscing about the blue environmental superhero, it soon evolved into an early prototype for the later RPGs of RR (The two pioneers of which would be the two of them), as they dueled as Good and Bad Captain Planet, assisting themselves with random team members and celebrity cameos.

| - | Eventually, again at the behest of Lordjanus, Saurian ventured into the [[Kenny 4 Prez]] thread, in which he was granted an appointment as the Sacrifice organizer. However, eventually Saurian created an identity as the resident mad scientist, which stuck with him. Saurian is notable for being one of very few regulars of the thread that never broke into the top 50 list of postcount during the life of the thread, and is the only one that has not done so since.

| - | == QtE 5 and the Black Angel Saga ==

| - | Saurian joined the fourth [[QTE|Quest to Escape]], run by [[Veer]], not knowing the history behind the game. Eventually, he learned that no QtE had ever finished, and Veer's was to be no exception. Eventually, Saurian gave up, and started the fifth Quest to Escape. Unlike the ones that had come before, Saurian attempted to create an organized system of battles. The largest contribution to future QtEs was the addition of a story. The story was meager, but it involved Kenny Strife (the eventual winner) seeking vengeance, along with a man in sunglasses and a shadowy figure controlling fighters within the tournament.

| - | The game was begun and finished within the course of a single weekend, but that wasn't the end of it. Given the unfinished nature of the story, along with several people requesting a sequel, Saurian decided to expand on the universe he had created, and created the first of many [[RR RPGs]], the [[Black Angel Saga]]. The story expanded upon the tournament of QtE 5, explaining that the shadowy figure was the head of an evil corporation, and that Kenny Strife (played by Kenny Strife, of course) had been recruited forcibly into the ranks of their army, along with several other original characters not found in the QtE. Saurian himself even played several of the major characters, using them to provide the story and setting while the players interacted with that environment.

| - | Eventually, however, Saurian grew frustrated with the game, due to the fact that he had started the story with no clear goals, yet was constantly being pushed to come up with more simply by the fact that he could not end it. And so, eventually, he began another tradition in RR: GMs leaving their games unfinished. He passed the mantle on to Shakespearian_Rogue, who followed it through to the end.
