Tamriel Rebuilt

With apologies to just about everyone:

At old TR, the veterans say,
Why’d our predecessors make Telvannis this way?
The land is dull, and floaters abound,
We’d better remake it when time can be found
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
At least we’re not doing the whole Tamriel!

In IRC, a wise member says,
What shall we do with these troublesome Dres?
They need new homes, and glowworms for fires
And aren’t they supposed to be vampires?
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
At least we’re not doing the whole Tamriel!

Almalexia, TR modders remark,
Has certainly not been a walk in the park
We’ll all laugh about it, when it gets done
By Christmas of 2021
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
At least we’re not doing the whole Tamriel!

But we’re still here, we’re soldiering on,
Telling every n00b we’ll be done when we’re done
And when Morrowind’s finished, from Uld Vraech to Thirr
Why don’t we make a start on Akavir?
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
Thank God we’re not doing the whole Tamriel!

Vehk rest ye merry TR-modders
who make ints and landscape;
to all those who fervently work
on dialogue and quest-claims;
populating lands abreast of
Cyrod' and Sky-rim;
Vehk rest ye merry TR-modders --
Map 4's well worth the wait.

(Note: "God rest ye Merry Gentlemen" lyrics parodied from memory. Result may not match actual tune of carol. I take no liability for ruination of your Christmas.)

I must say gro-Dahl, the line 'Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well' is genius. When you say it out loud, it becomes LOL repeatedly, which is just what this made me do.

Merry Christmas to all at TR!

Well I worked out it was God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, so it can't have been that bad.

Doesn't beat [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqWlrNsPkGc]my favourite[/url] alternate God Rest Ye though.

Love this

Here's my contribution to this delightful thread:

Watching our team grow
In a decade year old mod
Over our lands we go
Laughing at our flaws
Rocks on buildings bleed
Making spirits blight
What fun it is to sing and lead
A modding song tonight!

(Chorus)
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.

A year or two ago
We thought Necrom was done
And work on Ayem’s town
Had finally begun,
The place was large and neat
Good fortune seemed our luck
We got into an argument
And Sload told us we sucked

(Chorus)
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.

Ten years or so ago
This story I must tell
We started our work flow
Creating Tamriel;
Our dreams were riding high
As we dealt out barren cells
We laugh at these hopes with a sigh
that quickly were dispelled

(Chorus)
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.

Now start placing statics
And Writing dialogue
No need for dramatics
Don’t waste time with a blog;
It’s time to pay your debt
Don’t blame the Morag Tong
Open the construction set
and sing this modding song!

(Chorus)
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.
Morrowind, Morrowind,
TR all the way
Oh! what fun it is to work
on Bethesda’s greatest game.
