what am I doing with my life
am I still going to be futily trying to talk to you people past the point when I go to college?
will I ever get bored of just watching you people slowly drive a community into mush while simultaneously saying anyone criticizing them is a nostalgia-nut?
Honestly, after I finish these guns for Valiant, I'm just going to give the psswrd to someone I trust and have him change it, so I can just forget about all of this and move on. It can't be healthy.
And, no, to anyone who will ever ask, EW will not get revived on here. At most we have a small community prepping for Star Citizen, and said community often blips from game to game. We even have a freak'n tabletop system designed with the Wingverse as the centerpiece now, and are midway through a great campaign. Nothing lasts forever and in either case the last thing I want is for another /EVERY OLD CLAN REVIVAL ATTEMPT EVER/ to happen.
If anything SilentSwords is the only hope for the clan community, and I don't even like the guy.
Also one time Vaktus sent me a weird PM asking if I was a furry or not. I had to explain to him what furries were and why I wasn't one. In retrospect it was a really weird conversation and I'll probably get a bunch of "that's not true" comments about it.
Probably the biggest betrayal I ever had in my clan life was when LordNathan accused me of trying to manipulate a war between x101st and EW. Despite being one of the oldest and most respected members of the clan, the current upstart 2iC called to order an entire stupid trial over it because he didn't like me. (The place where it happened is even still up. http://www.roblox.com/user.aspx?id=3524219 Look at all the HISTORY!!!!)
The only reason I got out of it was because my long-time mentor and role model in the clan world, Dafter13, personally sacrificed his homemade tech to stop the "diplomatic incident" from escalating any further. I forgave Brownie long ago, and I'll always admire Dafter for what he did.
My friends list, for instance, is a massive collection of my history on roblox. Every time I go through it I have a nostalgia trip for the ages.
I used a lot of free models when I started out on roblox. And I continued to do so for a long, long time. I was also a bit of a ditz.
I've tried to start exactly 2 clans. The Brotherhood (Before I even knew what Assassin's Creed /was/) and Victory Legion/Legion of Victory/Ican'tremember. Both inevitably failed because my loyalties always laid with Elite Wing.
Every time I see "UCR/x101st was the first clan" posted by some newbag I die a little inside.
Princess Celestia and Benjamin Linus are two of my favorite characters in all of television history. The joke is that only hardcore people will know the latter. The joke is also funny because I'm baiting trolls with the former.
In my first D&D (3.5/Pathfinder) game ever I automatically went for the Paladin class. If that doesn't tell you a bit about my personality, I don't know what will. (The next character was a Cleric.)
Sometimes I catch myself acting like a scrub on C&G and it pains me whenever I do.
I am one of the older people on these forums, but I probably look flat-out like the oldest. I'm the tallest person in my extended family and currently sport a neatly trimmed beard that I can grow back to full in three weeks if I ever decide to look young for a day. Multiple times I've been confused for my mom's husband, and every time I have to utter my age I have to go through the same "You look so old, though!" I'll be honest, sometimes it feels nice, sometimes it's awkward, and most of the time it gets old immediately. Maybe I'll leak myself before I quit, just for proof.
I forgive pretty much anyone who does me wrong in some way, or does wrong to people I know. It might not seem like that, but I really don't hold grudges (for very long).
Also to anyone who has ever been effected by my sometimes incredibly aggressive behavior, I apologize from the core of my being. Aggression and a desire to be right is a long-standing issue of mine that I've fought since childhood. Sometimes I slip up, and the only way for me to cope is to keep my mouth shut and go sulk in a corner so I can calm down. I've lost a lot of good friends that way, and made a lot of rash decisions because of it. Live and learn, eh?
Lastly, I only ever want you guys to succeed. I know I'm abrasive sometimes, but that's just me being jaded from the internet (and see above paragraph) but I'm really an optimist at heart. I just want to see people be the best they can be, and not so I can live vicariously through them. I want clans to be good, not another JC or GG to land in the scrap pile like so many before them. When I see a good leader, it's like a godsend to me.
Keep being the best you can be, C&G. There's even hope for you trolls out there.
tl;dr read title and you get the gist of the post

One time I went as a Sorcerer in a game.
He was subsequently launched off of an airship by a party member who was deliberately killing the party for no reason, and the ensuing ragefest killed the game.
The next time I played a rogue
he was killed by the party in the second session |

Quite the moment for you to take a joke literally.
Don't be mad that there were good things that existed before you time. It's not "nostalgia" - it's simple fact.
And in either case I've never said the past was perfect. It had its issues, but it also had its great things, just as the present does. The present also isn't perfect, and saying it's that is a lie.
It just so happens that people often fail to learn from the past and it results in problems in the present. They fail to look back on systems that worked and stopped working when they changed. There is a difference between nostalgia and knowing both the good and bad of two times, and wanting the good that turned bad to return to its previous state.
What exists here isn't nostalgia, it's a generation gap.
It's not me being wrong or you being right. It's us knowing different things.
The past is in the past, but ignoring it would be incredibly stupid.
