I don't know how to start this and I'll take my shot at it. I'm sorry if this is long but I hope I do deserve to express my thoughts and feelings as I have been here awhile. I hope those of you who open this will read it and think about some of the stuff I discuss about. Thank you.

4 years has passed since I was able to join eGO. It's certainly been a long ride and the people, the experiences, and the friends that I have met will certainly be kept in my mind and heart for years to come. I've been through a lot, seen a lot, and done a lot. Some good things and some that had broken a mans heart. People think of gaming communities as a place just for gamers but those who stay and get engaged will be embraced into a family that will welcome you with open arms.

I originally started in TF2 on a server we had back then called Blackmesa which many people adored. I was recruited by a guy named Darth and he certainly was helpful and tried his best to get me into the community. I met some of the greatest people on that server and still talk to some of them to this day. I really enjoyed my time in Team Fortress 2 and enjoyed the promotion process. Everything was new to me and eGO was a great place to come hangout after a days work and just talk to friends. I was able to play on the competitive team, join the PSC, become an event coordinator and more. I tried to help out every way I could. Eventually issues happened, and a good majority of my divisional friends left due to some issues. I had an opportunity to leave but I decided to stay. The division was hurting and I had chosen to be the one to rebuild it which I successfully did. I managed to bring in more than 100 people into our ventrilo just to hear me and what we had to do to repair the division and all of them trusted me. We managed to do it.

I was eventually promoted to an Advisor there as a Recruiting Coordinator and broke records and numbers to which still remain today in eGO. I won't lie. At a point at being an advisor, I was gonna step down due to issue but a person by the name of "Legend" helped me and convinced me to stay. We eventually became good friends spending late nights with some other people (He event sent me a picture of him telefraging me when I raged which I still have). We stopped talking after awhile but we became busy. I want to give a thank you to legend. I know he doesn't show that much emotion or many people get to talk to him but once he does. He's a pretty swell guy. There is a ton more to my TF2 trilogy but that could take forever to talk about. I eventually transferred to Counter Strike, were I am today.

When I came to Counter Strike, I was given a chance to experience a different culture and environment and boy did it hit me hard. When you play a game for so long and then try something new, it's hard to sometimes get use to it. I managed to build a recruiting team here and I enjoyed working with every single of them. Counter Strike was known for it's recruiting back in the day and I was chosen to lead a division and have my name engraved into it's history book. Every single person I've met in this division, I want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing me to lead this division and giving me a chance. I wasn't liked here at first but eventually I believe I earn the respect of the members and I appreciate everyone giving me a chance. Counter Strike was a great experience to learn. The community is certainly different but I loved it. Counter Strike Global Offensive is a game that I'll enjoy for a long time to come.

I've always believed in always keeping an open mind for everyone and anything. I'm not a biased person and I wish more people were like that to be honest. You get to meet more people and learn about their life and that's what helps create a family atmosphere. I hope I've earned the respect of this division and apologize for those I didn't. I tried to keep everyone happy, hear their ideas, and never turn anyone down for a conversation even at some of the difficult times in my life. Thank you guys. This division is a great place to make friends and I hope it will continue to help others in need when the time comes.

I hope the legacy I've left here has been a good one. I've tried my best to make sure I would do well while I was here. I've given it my all. I've given it all my love. I tried hard to work at having a great reputation for the future and if anyone ever needs any help or just wants to talk, feel free to ask me. I tried to not make this long as I know some leadership members would know, I can write a book sometimes. I'm sorry if I've let anyone down. I've enjoyed my 4 years here and I'm proud to say I was the last of a generation that stayed around. I'd like to give a personal thank you to Roker as he has been a friend that I made here long ago and always has been understanding to me. Thanks bud. I'd also like to give one to the currently leadership and Mega_ . I've enjoyed working with you all and I hope you've learned something from my leadership methods as I have of yours.

I won't give shoutouts because I will feel it's unfair if I forget someones name. Just know that I've thought about everyone's name while writing this even the new people. Thank you for the good memories and understanding of my Cloud 9 and Chipotle addictions.

Thank you everyone. Will certainly miss you.

Your legacy will certainly live on, and you've been a great addition to not only this leadership team, not only this division, but Edgegamers as a whole. I appreciate all of your help and guidance you've provided since I became an advisor and I couldn't be more thankful. With that being said, don't be a stranger and join us in TS and in-game sometime!
 
Thank you Wize for everything. I cannot say it enough and reading this has left me in feels territory. I've watched CS prosper so much under people like you, Ric, _Mega, and others and seeing this sees the end of an era. I wish you luck in everything you do from here on out and hope to still meet up occasionally on the servers. However, with your departure, I feel an age of serious decline is about to begin in CS. Guess we'll just have to manage like in the old days.
