I didn't want to start a new thread so I thought this might be a good place to post.
It seems like we are quick to jump on the negative stuff that happens. I just wanted to post something positive.
A couple weeks ago I went to a Pee Wee pvp match. I observed once and went in one match. I didn't really understand what was going on all I walked away with was. "It sure seems like fun". Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was laid back.
Today I took a random invite to RV. I had never been in the zone, but the promise of fighting AV's had me intrigued.
My mates came out to pvp. Cherry and Cam were laying waste to about 5 heroes. I was having a blast even though I felt like I was not keeping up as I should.
We needed help...
No one really seemed intrested in pvp or wanted to help. Which baffled me because this wasn't like an arena match and it was all in fun.
I saw Bud and Steel in channel and asked them to help. I only know their names from the Forums. I have never spoken with them. Bud was actually pretty busy. He dropped what he was doing and came to help just because I asked.
I thought that was really nice of them both.
Our team was not optimal, none were pvp'rs. I was the only emp and clueless. Bud and Steel really were very nice and supportive. Not once did they complain about having a rookie emp. In fact one of them Im not sure which sent me a tell saying that I had a great attitude and don't get discouraged.
It was so action packed I would be watching the fighting and forget I was supposed to be in there healing!
I had a great time. I appreciated the patience and encouragement. I don't know what it was like in the past, but my limited experience with pvp has been awesome so far. I hope that more people will come out and try. -
This ---> People talking about other people while on team. Find yourself within a group that does this you have to ask your self..."What do they say about me when i'm not around". Food for thought.

Here is a Pic of me with 2 other Vets I served with when I deployed to Iraq in 2003 the dust hadn't settled yet after the invasion of Iraq, the gentleman in the middle was a Platoon Leader in Company that was seriously wounded. He and had to be evacuated back to the states. I havent seen him since then and it was very theraputic to see him and tell him everything I wantd to face to face.

This was the 16th Infantry Regimental room where all of the Veterans from World War 2, Korean War, Vietnam, and other conflicts tothis day were present for an awards cermoney. The 16th Infantry regiment is most decorated Regiement in the U.S Army
I had a great time at the Reunion and even though Hero Con was not scheduled this year, This was my Hero Con. It was my first time attending a military function like this and a great experience. To be able to talk to Veterans first hand about some of the situations and battles they had fought made me remember that I was just a gnat amongst giants. These Veterans always came to us and thanking us for our service but I always replied, "Thank you for making life easier for us today." I remember hearing on gentleman saying after my reply, "Someone has to do it." -
Quote:OOo great qoute ...Hey im back guys more details to follow of the Reunion...HAD A BLAST!! Now time for sleep :POriginally Posted by Green_Eyed_Lady
Thank you for your service!
A veteran over on Liberty has this quote in his signature:
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to, and including, my life'. -

Forgiveness is a beautiful thing that everyone can benefit from. Even if the person you forgive does it again at least you can know that you did your part by meeting them halfway and being the bigger person.
Me and Bud had a long talk on vent today. He apologized for some behavior and also explained why he felt the way he did. We agreed to let bygones be bygones. He is welcome back at my events, I have agreed to not talk trash about him and he has agreed to behave and not cause drama. If he doesn't do his part, that is on him.
Cobalt I hate to tell you this but there are lots of us that haven't acted very mature in regards to our fellow gamers. Myself included. You included as well. The negativity in your post wasn't necessary just now. It causes drama. We should all be able to get along and be civil to each other at least as far as channels, the forums, Community events etc. While we can pick and choose who we surround ourselves with on a regular basis, community channels, forums, events ect are supposed to be exactly that. We should be able to get along even if we don't care for each other for the sake of the community.
Someone made a very valid point today. Some of us have cliques and as leaders have followers. When we don't like each other, avoid each other, talk trash about each other as leaders of the Community we impact a lot more than just ourselves. Because you don't like me, some of your friends don't like me even though they have no reason not to. Because I don't like Bud my friends...ect. ect. Its something to consider is all I am saying.
If people can put their pride aside and reach out a hand then we as humans should be reaching back instead of expressing more hate or drama. -
Quote:This kind of response is not what this post was intended for, But hey to each is our own, our actions speak louder than words. I know what deeds ive done in the past and for that I apologize at least im giving it a try again and again if I have to.Originally Posted by Cobalt_Azurean
I did. He blew it.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
When you two are done decidin' what's good for us all, I'll be in game. -
Recently a group of individuals sat down and talked about some issues in VENT and the general consenses is exactly what the title means...a fresh start or clean slate for the benefit of event organizers and everyone a part of Champion server. With the recent of events in channels and and other oraginzed activites it would benefit all at least for a short while to clean the air. The recent in game fighting in channels, events, and other organized parties we have isnt good for the server as a whole. It causes a rift amongst individuals, groups, sg's.
Recommending lifting bans on individuals for events, unignore individuals you have on ignore,(including mself I will unignore my 1 person i have on my list.), try to let bygons be bygons and let go of any bias or harsh feelings toward one another, and most of all respec on another's opinions, (if you Identify a problem be prepared to have a constructive solution).
Of course all of these ideals are just recommendations and totally up to each individual and whether or not they want to follow, it's their perogative. If you have any more ideals plz respond. Champion server has many Strong personalities with each common goal in mind, and thats to make the server better. If the peace last 1 week, 6 months, or not at all at least we can say most have tried. As a server we are better than any SG; we have community. So here is my Olive Branch im starting on a clean slate will you? -

I leave for a few months(fine years) and I come back and it's empty at almost all times. What has happened? We used to be one of the most busy servers, behind Freedom.
