I figured since he's been playing on the server for around a year now it's time he had a proper introduction.
Blitzfire is my son. He's 5... going on way-too-big-for-his-britches. He's still learning the ropes, but I figure DOD is the best place he can do that. He and I are members of EmpyreanGuard. As our gaming organization has moved onto BF3, BF4, and other more advanced games, Blitz and I play here more than even our own home servers; it's the only other set of servers other than our own that I feel comfortable with him playing on. I don't have to worry about him getting kicked / banned for tking someone (I still don't understand why he can't match up the color of the icon over people's heads with his own team), and I don't have to worry about someone abusing him by tking him repeatedly. While I have his voice turned off, I've seen when playing with him that problem children are handled quickly. This is a definite plus all the way around. I'm often at work for anywhere for 24 to 72 hours at a time so while I do get to game with him from work sometime, I'm not always around when he gets on.
This is also one of the other reasons why I've wanted to post this intro for a while. Our clan tag is =(? EG)=. While it's similar, it's also different. We ALWAYS include the cross on all 'source-based games & ALWAYS have a capital EG). Any other layout is strictly prohibited & grounds for swift dismissal. As he's 5, he can't read. As such he can't switch tags. Because of this he's been kicked a number of times and banned once. While this issue was addressed last year, I figure the recent kicks are more my fault as I've not properly introduced him here for admin to see. I can assure you he's definitely not impersonating an admin.
Please feel to PM me if he becomes a problem child.
Figure since I'm introducing him, I'll introduce myself, though I won't bore you as much. I'm 38, 2 kids, 1 wife, no skills. I work as a Firefighter / EMT & love my job. I'm not on steam as much as Blitz is since I play BF3 myself. I've recently begun playing Contagion. I'm always looking for the next big adrenaline rush.
Thanks for the servers guys. I really appreciate Blitz having a safe environment to game in.
