I want to first and foremost, thank every one of our TAs for doing a wonderful job yet again on this campaign. For all of your work on a weekly basis, for putting up with me, for putting up with my merry bunch of trolls, and just everybody in general.
Blue, though he couldn't be around much, still did things behind the scene you guys might not be aware of.
C-WHiT for being the objective, unbiased, impartial, middle man in every situation big or small or any of the non-situations. He always took the blame for anything that went wrong or was perceived as going wrong and always credited somebody else for something that went right. Don't let any of this fool you.
ron...I think I was the source of all of ron's least-enjoyable moments in life these last few months but he handled it well. Hopefully we're past all that now though.
ST0RMY and I got a lot closer than we were previously during this campaign. He learned that I am easier to deal with in some respects and harder in others. Mainly though, you guys need to know that there isn't a single time where he didn't put eGO and it's members (on either team) first, Realism and it's integrity second, and himself last.
I would like to thank Boyle and his staff, as well as the Allies team as a whole. You guys gave us some amazing and memorable fights, but mostly you were great sports and counterparts.
Finally, most importantly, there is the entire Axis team. This wasn't my team, it was your team--you guys just let me be a raving lunatic...er...lead you guys. Thank you so much.
Compton was a better #2 guy than any of you can even imagine and I can't quite explain to you properly why that is. All #2 men (and women) in the future need to contact me so I can try though, because you need to all mold yourselves after him. Seriously.
Brain, also, was the perfect #3. He was like a combination of the wise, old, janitor who let you do your thing but jumped in with wisdom when you needed it, and just a shining example of "this is how it's done, guys."
DK demanded perfection as much as I did--from you and from me. He pushed you to do your jobs, for me to set up a gameplan, and for all of us to do our best.
Ides...I could say a lot about Ides, but I'm not, or I'd be here all day. I think he was the biggest overall impact person on the team, when you factor in tactics, training, skill, morale, leadership, anything you can think of.
(IO) was pretty much the exact same as Ides, not to cop-out here. Input on planning, skill, morale, leadership, etc. He was also usually the first guy to say, "I'll leave so somebody else can come in" when I asked.
Spartacus dealt with my ranting at times, but always with a "how can I get better from this" attitude--even if I was being a little too harsh.
Backstab, Homicidal Bunny and mr. Boe Jangles kept getting consistently put in the worst situations and results demanded of them that at the time seemed ridiculous. Still, they performed and never complained about anything.
The rest of you, especially Fluxion and Smilodon (sorry everybody else not named, it's already pretty much tl;dr)...you guys were all studs. Every one of you didn't help the team, you were the team. If you were here, even but for just one night, you took part in the win and a wonderful campaign overall.
:crying:
