I would like to pose question.

[Loscatens]

First off, forgive me if this has been posted before. I did try to dig around a bit before posting. If such is the case, please disregard, and go about your business.

To the Statement:

I have seen a couple threads about how we joined eGO, or even why we like eGO. I guess my Question(s) extend a different ideal. I have asked myself these for a while now. One I can answer with ease. The other, not so much.

First, why do you continue to stay with eGO? Apart from the obvious. ("Punk Free" servers, a lot of games represented.) Be specific.

Second, what is it that you can and/or will bring to the community as a whole? Breaking from just a Divisional role. Not to say that supporting your Division is a less worthy endeavor.

I will answer myself here. I stay for many reasons. I like the community. Despite its large size, I have yet to feel like just a "number" or another small cog in a large machine. I have been welcomed and felt like an intrinsic part of eGO in a very short time. This spans from =(e)='s to =(eGO)='s, advisers, Division leaders and more. Not once has any question, concern, idea or failure been laughed at, dismissed or ignored. For such a large entity as eGO to make a little character such as myself feel so welcome and "essential" (for lack of a better term, knowing full well that I am not) is nothing short of amazing. Also, the fact that "Have Fun First" is stressed over and over again makes this such a better fit for me personally.

The recent Clan wide meeting impressed this upon me even more. So, thank you to ALL EdgeGamers!

The second question vexes me.. Seeing such an impressive job displayed by all the Advisers, Division Leaders, the Council, Trainers, Coordinators, etc. makes me wonder where exactly I can fit in, and still benefit not only my Division (DoD:S if the plaque under my name was not enough) but EdgeGamers as a Community. I am just not sure how to answer that quite yet.

So, I turn to you. Not only for your answers, I do like these kinds of questions. But, so I might better understand what i can do and how. Perhaps not just for myself, but for all those who feel to low on the ladder, or who like myself are just unsure how we might best benefit eGO.

To those that reply, Thank You!

You benefit eGO by having fun....playing in the servers, chilling in vent, or going to events.

Sounds simple to me!

#1.(easy button) Most of us coming up in the ranks have had mirror experiences such as yours and thats a good thing.
Your second question,(imo) is an easy one as well.
Keep doing exactly what your doing ,log time in the game ,pop into vent when you can and hit the forums up often.
We are all as you say,"cogs" or parts of a well oiled machine(lol) which is eGO...
A time may come when your role will change but for now k.i.s.s
This is a no pressure situation for the newer members and it's all about fun gaming punkus free , maturity and respect.
btw ,good shootin with ya and Congratulations on the Promotion :thumbup:

I'm a lower rank than you, though my story with eGO is very similar. I don't feel excluded from anything just because I'm a lower rank. I feel like we all work together to make the best gaming community and gaming experience out there for everyone to enjoy! So here's to eGO gaming!
And congratulations on obtaining your "G" status!

I continue to stay in eGO cause this is the only community that doesn't harass kids bout there voices, i don't got that voice, but it makes me wanna rage when they tell other people that... and more...

I bring basically recruits to the eGO community!

Basically i stayed because i had fun even though it took me a while to adjust to the language rule as you can see that's not a problem since i made it all the way to O, But one of the main reasons i really stayed was this is the first clan/community i was in where i didn't even necessarily want admin. other clans i wanted it due to nesscessity almost because either a) people were hacking and no admin was on or b) any admins i could contact didn't want deal with it or didn't respond at all were as here there's always at least one admin and if it doesn't one could be contacted fairly quickly and they also take care of the problems quickly. Also ironically the one clan were i didn't actually want admin is the one that gave me admin

plus even though i admittedly don't participate in events a whole lot they are fun when i do go and the tf2 tournament i participated in as an e made me feel alot closer to the clan and got to know people a little better.

I feel i contribute because i play in almost all divisions of eGO and have admined and just about all see if needed i can join almost any game and take care of a problem if needed from DOD, tf2, css, insurgency, and most recently minecraft

Be yourself, follow the rules and have fun then you fit in and contribute to ego, look deep to see what you can do to help other members. I played for years befor I joined ego and had my own set of rules which I followed, when I played on my first ego server I found their rules were nearly the same as mine, and when players complained about my ping I felt down until the admin told them my ping did not effect their game. I joined and have been happy since. I cant praise the management or members enough.

i stay with eGO because i like the enviornment of the people

 

[Anouthen]

I stay with ego, because they are not very demanding on what needs to be done from it's members, more as if their members can choose to give tons of support or little. I can bring many things to the community, but I'd say the best I can bring is my presence.
