ALOHA Liberty


There was a pc game called Freedom Force, it was lots of fun to play, me and my son who was 10 then were looking for a new game to play. A RP convention friend told me about a game that he had been beta testing and they were looking for more as they had done yet another revision / overhaul of the game. So I checked it out and was accepted into Beta testing of a game which we would call City of Heroes.

This was my first MMO, not that I knew what a MMO was initally. I was told it was like a game called Everquest that several of my friend played and I though they were insane. This was the first real superhero MMO and I fell in love with it as soon as I started playing my first tank.

I have played tanks (Liberty is home) mostly on every server for the last 8+years. I do have a few other AT's but to this day the tank is still my favorite. It has always been my pleasure to tank for anyone who needed and wanted me to tank. I have 12 security lvl 50 incarnates the rest of my characters run the gambit from 1 to 45 I don't think there is a server that doesn't have at least two mid range tanks.

A second version of the game I decided to try and liked brought me my best friend in game. It also allowed me to make even more friends, the City of Hero Forums specifically the RP threads where I had the most amazing time. Not only reading the work of others but to actually write, my own story, interactive stories and RP with fellow writers. Regardless of the arguments we had ((OOC) I enjoyed it. I want to thank you all my fellow writers, storytellers and roleplayers.

I have had the privilage of meeting , playing and becoming friends with some amazing players. There are far too many to list, but I will speak to some in a moment. Apparently through that I was given the opportunity to represent Liberty as a server rep, senior server rep, 2nd chair and 1st chair of P.E.R.C. (Player Event Resource Commitee) Where I further was able to assit my fellow gamers in running and hosting events. To this day we still have regularly MSR events on Sunday nights. A big thank you to all our Liberty MSR leaders and raiders and anyone else who has hosted any type of event you all helped make this game great and a great community.

My friends there are so many of you and not just here on Liberty but on all the other servers. To make it easier on myself because I don't have everyone listed on all my friends list I am only going to mention one in depth.

Our friendship is the stuff of comic books and could be something from legends it started off rocky in the forums and even in game. It developed into a character created on Liberty,(then many characters) nearly stealing her full time play to Liberty, okay I did steal her full time play . Our community welcomed her with open arms and brought her into Liberty's folds as one of us.

Steele Magnolia joined me here as one of the greatest members of our sg, the 'Sentinel of Liberty' from recruiting to base building to writing in the forums then joining P.E.R.C. as a rep, senior rep and P.E.R.C secretary. Helping me in all things COH. I have often wondered the what if's of our friendship, it has surivived many 'trials', i-trials Task Forces and many other events. Our friendship helped me be the hero I always wanted to be and could be in this City, this City of Heroes.

I do not know what the future holds for all of us my friends. Weather it is just keeping in touch on Facebook, meeting up in another MMO or seeing you all at Real Life conventions like Gen Con, Origns, or DragonCon. This community, this city of heroes will always exist in our hearts. The challange will be to let it shine, share your heroic heart with the world and weather you decide to become a Real World Hero or just 'Ordinary Joe's" I ask you all remember me fondly and well. Also...

When you wake up seek the courage and strength to do the right thing.
Decide that this will be another day in which you Walk The Talk.

ALOHA to my Liberty friends and family truly in all it's meaning.

I will be around until 11/30/12 23:59:59


American Valor
Sentinel Of Liberty
04/04 - 11/12

You are not alone, last night there were only 17 heroes on Liberty. The entire population on Liberty has migrated to Virtue or simply are only playing on the weekend, etc. My speculation only. As I keep saying I will be on the last day 11/30/12 from 00:00:01 to 23:59:59.

Every year for the past 8 years our holidays were always hero related from tree triming, gifts and watcching: Jingle all the Way and Santa Claus conquers the Martians. Who doesn't want a TURBO-Man, or root for Santa Claus as he brings holiday cheer to all the martian children.

Sorry off on a tangent American Valor is weird still today. okay see you soon my friends on Liberty. I'm thinking a Final round up of the Guns and Glory ITF

A return back to yester year and join Two Gun Kid and his Regulators as they bring justice to the anicent time restoring the timeline that never was...

I would suggest returning to your roots (original server) as a VIP this was another test server to make alts just transfered my only 50 here to Virtue my second home since Liberty was full. Nuff said.

Good Luck in all your adventures where ever they maybe.
