What eGO means to me.

I was out around town today with some family. I enjoyed myself till some things. I heard some more about the recent tragedy facing the US, and I saw a girl cussing her father out. It really put me down if you know what I mean. All of sudden, a lot of negative emotions. To make it worse, I was/am still down due to some personal events dealing with a stroke, sleeping in an uncomfortable hospital bed, and eating really bad hospital food.

I went home and jumped on to Team Fortress 2, and played some on our Harvest server. There was a guy cussing, and I followed the normal thing of warning and then kicking. After that I went to the event server for an event with the TF2 division (a fun event). While we were playing, a question that had been bothering me came to me. It was the question ?What does eGO mean to me and what made me join it??. Unlike times in the past, I now have an answer for it.

I thought I joined eGO to talk to people and go to some fun events. I was wrong. I joined eGO, because I believe in what eGO stands for. Sounds kinda of cheesy, but I do. I believe eGO stands for a place where people can come, have fun, and just relax. Despite our differences of thought, we still believe in those 14 rules of conduct. With all of the negativity(language, remarks, dis-respect, and many other things) we gamers face, we decided to make a gaming environment that moved away from the negatives. It allows us to kick back and relax from the every-day issues we all face.

We (those in eGO) may have different genders, race, religion, political leanings, but we all share the belief that we want a place of rest and peace to relax and take a break from all of the issues that we must see and confront on a daily basis. This single belief is what makes us the greatest community for gamers. I have meet some great people in eGO. Even to those who I don't talk to much (unfortunately) , don't want to talk to, and to those I have yet to meet, I say 'hello, my friend'. I call you all my friends due to all of us sharing that same belief.

This is a community I am thankful to be apart of. -Adeptus
 
I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head as to why so many people love edge gamers. We are more than just a community. We're a family. We support each other. We care for each other.
There are some who come just to play on great servers. There are some who comes for the great community. No matter why someone's here, we will always care for and support them. That's what a family does.

EGO gives me another reason to put up with the worst of my job. Bad day at work goes away after a few rounds on Foundry and the quality of players here and my bond with them helps me remember that what I go for is to ensure they don't have to and endure worse so they can continue to enjoy this TF2 community. That I will always have something to return to and enjoy even in the darkest of times.
 
Not cheesy at all, buddy. Back when I first started tf2, some members of the eGO community impressed me by just being really upstanding people- ol' marine4god is one that springs to mind. Tf2 division is filled with a great bunch of people!
 
I thought like you did Adeptus, when I was an e I thought I'd be gaming constantly and such, then when I got my promotion to G I changed a bit on my gaming style. I still kick back and kill but when trouble comes, ( I tell this to a lot) I go to protect 3 things:
The Fun of the server
The server
and the players of the server
 
That almost had my exact thoughts when ever I have thought about this... Very nice!
 
...I thought eGO stood for Edge Gamers Organization...

Nah, but seriously, even though I've been gone for a while (I should be back in a week or so! :D), I still remember having a blast at all the events after having a bad day.

<3 you guys. :3
