A Year in the Life: Featherfoot07

[featherfoot07]

Just as the title says: Saturday marked my one year anniversary with Edge Gamers Organization. I have had a lot of people asking me what I've seen here, I figured it was time for another speech for you guys.

I guess the best place to begin is the end of what is now known as my gaming autobiography. If you haven't read that, DO SO. So, let me begin without further a due.

I remember sitting one day and talking with BlackMesaSouth just as they had finished his first computer (the statement in his signature). We were talking about the Orange Box, the greatest collection of games ever released. He was talking about how much he loved Team Fortress 2. From refference, I had wanted to play for a long time. I asked if I could see what it was like, and I noticed something key when he joined a server. The distinctive =(e)=? on the front of his name.

As a point of refference this is before my computer was built. I asked him what that "e" on the front of his name was. He simply replied, "Just that, an "e" - It's for Edge Gamers."

"What are they like"? I asked

"Mature gaming with great admins. You should check it out"

I looked into the forums as I was really looking for a good forum that diddn't flame like crazy and really enjoyed the feedback I got back on threads I started. Once I had my computer built I joined up the INS division 12-08-08.

Since then I've seen a range of things. In my early days here, the houses were still in effect. I messed around with the -I|G- for a while and eventualy settled down with them. A few months after that they came to a descision that we were growing too much to have the houses, among other reasons - and they were dissbannded.

I remember getting the Call of Duty division, and later the World at War server. I remember being apart of Insurgency when our entire roll call was less than fifty people. I remember when Hammer was an eGO!

Here are some key events (not in any order) and people that I remember:

• Houses dissbannded
• INS -small list
• CoD / WaW servers
• Hammer as an eGO
• HL2master as an eGO
• The big Herm was still around and active
• we were NOT global
• Purple was an advisor
• tiddy was an advisor
• respawn was an advisor

Beyond these, some key but small or even unrecogizable things have happened. such as:

• The Drunken Sailor -- left
• Purple and Tiddy --left
• the big herm -- left
• duck dastardly -- left

More beyond that would warrent conversation and not be apart of this post.



So, there you go guys --
