Overview

This was originally started on the Legends Alliance forums when they temporarily hosted the Gamehiker Forums in 2005. GORE started it in hopes of forming a new generation from the Legends Alliance writers. However there wound up being only two new writers- a one-poster, Colt; as well as the OG's big new asset, the Great Character Find of 2005, SteveT. It moved as slow as possible over the following years, mostly written by writers from previous generations such as Masa, Luiigii and Golem, as well as GORE. Consisting of mostly people running from place to place, it doesn't seemm to be near the end that it truly becomes interesting. The OG was finally ended in early 2009 and has bee followed by 3G2: Green Hair is in Style.

The Party Goers were the First Generation. The OGers were the Second Generation. But after their final triumph... the year 2020 came and a third generation of heroes did not appear. With no one to resist them, the world fell into disorder and into the hands of villains. In time the social structure of the world was chaos. Eventually GORE-ILLA, a hero of the second generation and his creator, EVIL Scientist Dude (a former villain) decided to go finding this third generation theirselves, in the year 2030. Their first step is to look for any surviving first-generation heroes, as well as any second-generation heroes.

References/Homages to Other OGs

Party Goers

• Cobalt adopts the identity of "Gentleman in Red", a identity similar to his mother's "Lady in Red" during her OGing years.
• Masamune has a flashback of Party Goers 17, where Luigi 64 is sent into hell. At first he has the flashback from Luigi 64's perspective, but quickly fixes the mistake with the right flashback from his perspective.

Festivity Attenders

• SteveT has frequent flashbacks to his creation. Pieces of these flashbacks would be later reassembled to create the first Festivity Attenders story.
• One of Masamune's bird crew is Wizzrobe, the very same who gave Steve life in Festivity Attenders.
• Donkeyman calls Sapphire by the name Ruby, a reference to his ancient love of Ruby Red, a member of the Festivity Attenders.

Member OG

• Lots of MOG references, probably. But who cares about those?
• Lupus, MON-KILL and other villains from the Member OG series make guest appearances, MON continuing his vendetta from the MOG series. Several other leftover MOG characters, such as the Fusion Kids, make their appearances.
• GORE's position as killer of the OG Six from Member OG 10: Full Circle is called back to.
• Aither is supposed to be the son of Erebrus and Night from Member OG 6: VGF Moon.

Gamehiker Member OG/Other Good Timeline

• SteveT is made into a pilot because Straw Man thinks he's a "Model T Pilot Bot" that hasn't been invented yet, a reference to Galaxy Goers where Professor Smarter Than You thinks SteveT is a Model T Pilot Bot.
• Several villains from the Gamehiker Member OG series are shown as members of a council.
• Masamune mentions dating Ashley's mom Rebe a few years back, but Slort reminds him that was a different OG (actually the Gamehiker Member OG series). This one of many moments where Masamune forgets what timeline he is in.
• Also, Donkeyman refers to Sapphire having helped him rescue his heart, depicting the Bad Timeline variation on the retrieval of Donkeyman's heart, which was originally shown in Gamehiker Member OG VIII: The Final Parody.

Other OGs

• Luigi has a nightmare about Ashley and Masamune becoming an item, which causes him to go insane and become Slort. This is similar to how Link finds out he's his own father and goes crazy and becomes Tingle in The Triforce of Time Theory. This is an OG reference, really. Because of... Tingle OG.

Things To Know

• In a chatroom, it's cool to say "Let's talk about 3G". This has also formed the more popular variation, "Let's talk about Batman".

Quotes

SteveT: What's with the old turban?

Clerk: It was my grandfather's. He told me I always have to wear it when I'm selling things down here.

SteveT: Why?

Clerk: It adds ten points to my swindle skill, I mean, tradition. Plus ten tradition.

SteveT: You have +10 tradition?

Clerk: Yes. Yes I do.

SteveT: Normally, I'd argue about that, but that turban is just so charming and makes me want to spend money.

Clerk: Spending money in this shop is tradition! -SteveT
