yea dude.. just to reiterate.. timing is nothing.
im not 100% sure how promotions are done, but let's say they are done once every X. and somebody joins 3 months before X, and someone joins 5 days before X.
Guy with 3 months is a good player, but contributes little to forums, isn't very tolerant, and yells at noobs. then 5 day guy comes in as =(e)=, floods forums, is a great player, very mature, respectful, helps others out, team player.. he may get it when X comes around.
And make sure u understand it's not about skill level or age. I'm pretty sure we have eGO admin who are under 15. For sure I'm sure.
so be the best =(e)= you can be, be active on the forums, make yourself noticed, but in a good light. And as said earlier, you seem like a good guy bro, don't worry about it, don't ask about it, don't stress it.. let it come.. like.. um.. uhhh... something that comes u have to wait for... i guess... Christmas. word. WORD UP!
FLAAAVOR FLAAAV!!!
