Heya! This is Ignite 168/Iggy. I go by Iglw now and still log on to OSRS every now and then. It's absolutely surreal that people are still telling our story so many years later! I think I got credited for a few things that were already in place before I inherited leadership from Blackbane, but overall I'm amazed that you went through and did reenactments/animations of our cult events and even some of the stories we had in the GBoK. So awesome, I love it! Thank you so much for making this video. Kah Bah Gee!

[@olliefischer]

​@@jadiellima8922 no, like, that's the entirety of the explanation--not to armchair diagnose, but random fixations and obsessions like that are very common amongst autistic folk. like for example in middle school i was obsessed with traffic cones for a hot minute. my mom got me a traffic cone for my birthday and everything

[@StNicolausVI]

Yes they are the Cult that inspired Jagex to make the cabbage shield, the cape, the Lumbridge teleport ring goes to their patch, and the Brassican mage for clues.

[@baddragonite]

For the record: Cabbage tastes great if you cook it properly My suggestion: something we had often as kids Several pork loin chops with prepped and chopped cabbage or whole cabbage leaves, after boiling the cabbage for a bit and salting the pork chops and/or adding your preferred seasoning (I suggest slap ya mama Cajun seasoning) add both to the same pan and bake them together in an oven at around 350-450 degrees. The flavors perfectly compliment each other and mix together, so the cabbage has a juicy meaty taste when your done because it soaks in the flavors and juices from the chops. Also great if you're on a budget. We would cook them in a portable roasting oven when I was a kid when we lived in a camper/old school bus in the woods.

[@beardsntools]

But why would you? If you don't want to look like Andrew gower or similar chinless soyboys, you should just eat meat instead.

[@CallmeJeffy1]

[@YokaiSamurai]

Around that time, most cabbage spawns were changed from objects on the ground into scenery pieces, which would have their respawn behaviour programmed very differently. Scenery pieces look better because they can have different orientation, among other graphical benefits. From Mod Ash

This video made me cry a bit on the inside. I was in OoC back in the day. They were by far the most fun group of people I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing in my last days of RuneScape. No time better spent than that with fellow Acolytes in the cabbage patch.

The 2007-2009 switch from Social-centered play to Grind-lording was such a bummer, even though I did fall into it as well. I miss our little country clan just hanging around...such good times.

[@KeyStonedState]

Was the best time. I'll never forget when the Jmod showed up in the patch. I really feel the the Cabbage based content that came after was a nod to OoC. So glad this cult is being remembered today. The forums were super tight nit and meticulous. The anxiety you'd get lining up in the patch to be made a acolyte or get promoted. Kbg forever.

[@SwitchTalkChannel]

The other very human thing: man feels hopelessness in life and cannot even find enjoyment in a video game at a young age, with all the time in the world, so he starts a cult to feel important and like life has meaning again. Truly amazing stuff. Don't let this guy near a government or army or philosophy book is all I'll say. You'll have a next Lenin or Marx on your hands. Of course, then gets rid of it when in-fighting starts. Very cute, haha. Note: An extra twist is that he wanted it secret. Not uncommon to find such a Hermetic sort of root. We see this all the time these days. It's also not as uncommon as you think that they start to break due to in-fighting. Only great leaders can controllers can actually stop the in-fighting or use it to their advantage. Clearly, in this case, it wasn't very helpful inside a fairly niche video game.

[@ShawnBlaque]

Kid at school: "Oh wow you play Runescape too?" Blackbane: "Yes......" Kid at school: "That's cool what are you training lately?" Blackbane: "I pick cabbage.. Only cabbage..." Drools on shirt.... Kid at school: "Oh ya.. Nice man... I gotta go"

Huh? I've been collecting noted cabbages on my F2P UIM for fun for a year now. You can only get them from beginner clues so they're rewarding to collect and stuff. One of the clue steps require you to wear a chef's hat and a red cape so that's what I have been wearing at all times. Now I like to change my fashionscape up often and just recently I decided to change my getup to.. a priest gown and bottoms. I just unknowingly recreated most of the OoC costume. I've even got the cabbage collection going on. I don't even really know what to say.

Let's recap. The Order of Cabbage has ✅Induction rites ✅An outfit ✅Chants ✅Dances ✅Public events ✅A deity ✅Mythology ✅A sacred text with instructions about dealing with enemies ✅A physical treasure trove (physical within the confines of the world of RS) ✅Internal drama and history ✅Enemy clans ✅A permanent place in the history of their world ✅Commentary they made, implicitly, about human nature and the world beyond RuneScape
