One Last Time: Who Are Ya Favs?

We can look back and say: "we actually achieved something"

Being here on the forums with you all has been an honour. Even though I wasnt as active in the last couple of years, I will never forget the good days and great discussions.

^🐽^

Id want to @ them all by name but Im scared I would miss some one 😫

That being said, it was a pleasure to discuss with everyone over the years and Im happy that some of my silly little posts could put a smile on your face :)

FAAAR too many names to name and probably a good deal who won’t even know me seeing as I’ve only maintained a fleeting presence in the forums despite the many years being on the forums as a member and even longer as a lurker before that. (Most of you may probably be thinking “who even is this?” lol)

But I’ll just give a little snapshot of why my interactions with many in here were, and continue to be, meaningful.

I joined at a time not knowing much about the game and honestly feeling frustrated, clueless and armed with a list of gripes.

And while I remain clueless, I’ve grown a lot and in no small part due to the people I met here - the good the bad and everything in between. I got to see others’ points of views and even when I haven’t agreed with them, I could see why they held their views most of the times. It gave a humanity behind the name and I realised that many are jostling for what is important for them. There are potatoes like me that may have found a lot of the balance changes hard to digest at first; for some, said changes didn’t go far enough. Others still felt the dynamics change and it was refreshing/the end of the world. I won’t wade into that too much but it was enough to see that different people were having different experiences.

I learnt that ultimately, my own purpose wasn’t to ever become the best player in the game (though I have one ‘A’ tournament - ifykyk lol). No, my satisfaction is playing with people who I could relax and have fun with and when playing solo, I’d set my own challenges and achievements.

Back to the point, too many names amongst good friends and I don’t mean to disrespect a single person who I haven’t mentioned - it’s not that you weren’t worth mentioning, more that you know who you are and it’s a given.

EVERYONE on the discord servers I’m part of for one.

For those whose paths don’t cross again, I wish you the best and good luck for the future.
