Yep it?s my one year in eGO (Well technically yesterday was). I don?t have a true mega post to make, but since it only comes around once I?ll see if I can say something substantial.
It was a little over a year ago now that I switched from TF2 played on the PS3 to the PC and I spent a few days looking for good servers. I was lucky to find our Goldrush or Payload rotation server (can?t remember if it was rotation or not at the time) on my first day. I played a good five hours there, addicted to the PC version of the game mostly and I really had no intention of ever joining a clan at the time. The next day I found my way to the 2Fort IR server and spent a few more hours there. I found the clan interesting so I went to our site and browsed around a bit. Looking at the servers, the activity, and the idea of mature gaming I took the plunge and applied to join eGO. I was accepted by none other than Subtle Turtle (I don?t have the patience for the underscores and stuff in his name lol) and I started representing my e.
Over the next month I met a lot of people, many who have trailed off on their own by now, and I learned about the clan. I did every single event we had and spent about four hours on the servers a day. In what I found to be a record compared to the other people I knew, I got my G about a month and a week after joining. It was a great honor I was blown away to have gotten so quickly. I did the admin class under RESPAWN and got my admin in a few days. I met more people and had a great time and I realized why so many people enjoyed online gaming so much.
I got my O a few months ago and have had to put it to use a few times. I got into CSS and Jail shortly before I got that, and I saw a whole other side of eGO and got to remotely know a few more awesome people.
Recently I have, sadly, been less active on our servers and forums. I have been massively addicted to GMod and have been helping out on a community over there. It has been absorbing a lot of my time and that coupled with a low amount of desire to play TF2 very often has been keeping me away for a bit. School is also sapping a lot more of my resources this year so I?m having to cut time all over the place, making matters worse.
But rest assured, though I may not be that active in eGO at the moment, I wear my tag with pride every time I come on our servers. And I have recently decided to start making Saturdays and as many Weekday nights as I can my TF2 gaming time when I can come on our servers and still have a blast with not just the game I am playing, but also the great people in it.
So enough about me, I would lastly like to give a shoutout to all the leadership and the council that have been around since I joined for all they do to keep things together and running, and the EC team for all the awesome events they continue to imagine up. It has also been awesome to see what the community as a whole has accomplished and done since I got here. It still blows my mind what sort of cool people are in this place!
Here?s to another year in the greatest clan out there! Hope to see as many of you as possible on the servers.
