Hi, everyone. While 20k isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things, and while I don't relatively care for post count, the chance to make "a big deal" out of a number next to my name is an opportunity I can't pass up!
While I am indifferent on my post count, this "20k post" is more about taking a chance to do something like this and less about celebrating the amount of posts I do have.
So, since I feel like it, let me just delve into myself a bit.
-
A bio/A-SOV:
Oh boy, the memories I've had, and will have, with this group. I've been playing this game since early 2010 and during those whole 5+ years I was always thinking, in the back of my mind, that I wanted to lead a group. I never really tried, however, because I knew I would be better at managing an existing group than making my own from scratch.
I carried this goal for my career throughout. Even back in my early days leading NB as SiC and picking up all of Jlcompton's slack, I had that goal. Even when moving on to TGI with my Green Jacket buddies Epicrules & Co., and eventually earning Centurion in the early era of when Brickster was Castellian, I had that goal. When I moved on to less important clans, and eventually back to NB once again, I kept that goal.
When I moved on to join TGI for a second fateful time, during the late era of Castellian and eventually worked my way up to Field Marshal-nigh-Lord under Tober's era during the VAK war, I had that goal. Even after I was cast aside in TGI and moved on to re-form The Steel Gladium with GustFlame or Pragmatist, and eventually led the group alongside him as SiC, I held that goal.
My goal wasn't a secret anymore, with Prag. When -- in his eyes -- TSG started to deteriorate, he wanted to move on to a new clan. He wanted to move on to a new clan, whilst giving me the opportunity to let my dreams became reality. With that, we agreed to move the Gladium to a new group, one under the Lion: the Arenirian Sovereignty. Prag would own the group, whilst the idea and general "group" itself would be mine (like CONEX was meant to be.) Even after Dan and I parted ways about a month later, and former brothers became bitter rivals as said former brother tried to destroy the group I had so desired, I kept that goal.
Despite my former colleague and potential mentor moving on and turning against my group, leaving me with nothing, I kept moving on with my goal; with A-SOV. I had to keep together the bits and pieces of what was left of the group, and start from nothing. There was nothing to the group but some loyalists, who shared my dream of wanting to start my own clan.
Those people, those loyalists, are the major motivation behind me going through with A-SOV. While the supporters were few, they were the drive to keep me going, so I did. That goal held throughout 5 years stuck with me, and has repeatedly kept me on this path, again and again.
So, even though it's been a long time (over a year,) and my clan has at some points been a public figure of ridicule and mockery, I have continued. Even though my group has not fully released until even today, it has outperformed many "active" and "released" groups despite its status. Even though it has been so long, and members have come and went, many of the same members who are loyal to the group have stayed. Those people, those dedicated members who have stuck with A-SOV through thick and thin, and one of the major reasons this group has stuck around. Despite the fact that A-SOV can now sometimes be said with a chuckle or a silly "in-dev joke," it is still here, and it will stay.
I have stuck with my goal, my group, for well over a year despite any obstacle provided. Through the pits of betrayal, the clouds of depression induced from real-life events, the frowns of doubt, and the laughter of mockery, it's still here.
While many people may believe that goal to be another hopeless attempt at starting a group and that it will never release, anything can change - and to those people, I smile, knowing that they're wrong.
Because even the most doubted events can occur when they are least expected, right?

Now for some shoutouts, with the people I actually want to write about:
OwneD1991: You're doing wonderfully with SC. To be honest, even I initially thought SC wasn't going anywhere when it was passed down, and for a while not much really happened. But you've changed that, and now SC is a powerhouse in the clan word. I know it can stay that way, and I definitely applaud you as a leader and wish you the best of luck.
3eh/1roy999: You're honestly a moron. You come around acting like you genuinely care about A-SOV, and then turn around the next second and make some stupid joke on the forums. Any and every time you have been involved in my community, you have been an idiot. Don't come anywhere near it, we don't want you.
Kolwalski: Hey, dude. I may not know you very well as a person, but I know that you've been with A-SOV for over a year. Through TSG and through the long time A-SOV has been around, you ahve been there. You may not have been the most useful officer as of late, but you are a valuable member of our community and you have stayed through thick and thin, and I value that. Thank you. Without people like you, my dream wouldn't be a reality.
Raethyr: I'm proud of you. I really am. When you were leading Frostfall and later Fleetcom(?), you didn't do so hot. So, when you were first starting the Orkz, I was curious albeit doubtful. Yet you have so far proved me wrong. You have taken your group from something that could potentially be a hub of tryhards and morons and turned it into something interesting and neat. I like what you've done with your group, and I applaud where you've come as a leader. Don't give up on your dreams, dude.
MrZelo: Zelo, my dude. I don't personally know much about you, but I do know that you succeeded despite real-life events weighing down on you while you were with Providence. I remember you from Ro-Force, additionally, and to some extent I look up to you for reasons I am not aware of. Keep doing what you're doing. You're a great guy and a good figure to have in clans.
Rapster2: Hey, man. I want you to take something into account. You may not think you're the best shot for UCR, and maybe you're not. But you don't have to be, you know? Take a look at Owned, or take a look at me. We both took something that was seemingly impossible and turned it into a success. Do not give up on that group and bring it back to a cycle of new leaders and being a hand-me-down group. Don't do it, man. You have the potential to be great, and you can continue UCR's legacy. Don't let that group down.
AlexandrosDeAngulo: Alex. You've been here for a long time, here in A-SOV. I asked for your help, and you provided it many times, even though you had a job and real life to attend to. While you may not be active anymore, I applaud everything you've done and your willingness to keep coming back to A-SOV despite you being thrown around in the ranks.
Fedoratipping: Sooner than you would think.
Fluxoid: Logan. I really appreciate you. I really do. Ever since that day you posted on C&G looking for a clan and I directly approached you about A-SOV even when it still wasn't all-too impressive, you joined. And you stayed. You worked your way up and you gave the group everything you had, until you got where you are today. I sincerely appreciate everything you have done for A-SOV, and thus for me. We may not talk a lot about anything other than A-SOV, but I would consider you a good friend of mine, and I hope we can hang out more. You're a real friend.
Whitelnk/Alex: The original Alex. We had some good times back in TGI, and you were a good friend to me at that time, and you stayed that way. You were there for the early days of my time with the girl, and you were a good guy I could talk to about it. While we may not talk much anymore, I really appreciate you being there for me and being a friend, and maybe we can talk more often.
Pragmatist/Dan: Sometimes I don't know what to say about you. I have a lot to thank you for, but I also have a lot to dislike you for. You provided me with the opportunity to pursue my dreams, and for that I will always be grateful, even despite the fact that you tried to tear it apart. I understand your reasonings and I don't hold anything against you for it. While many months were wasted during your time of developing for A-SOV, and that's unfortunate, I can't really hate you for it. Sure, I will admit, I am still quite bothered by the fact and how I was ultimately screwed over, I know that wasn't your intention from the start and that's why it's not that bad. But, from my point of view, you keep making the same mistakes over and over, hurting people in the process. Not every friend you work with is as forgiving as me, Dan. Not everyone you end up inadvertently screwing up will brush it off like I have so far. There comes a point where some of the people you consider your friends, if you accidentally treat them wrong, won't forgive you; and I'm not talking about myself. You need to step back, take a moment to see what you're doing, and stop while you're ahead. Don't do what you don't want to do, since that ends up poorly for everyone. Try to make your tomorrows better than your yesterdays, without hurting other people in the process.
Crystal55/Amber: We've always had short-lived friendships and periods of talking to one another that would end up passing. While we may have never been the best of friends, you've always been some kind of friend to me, and that's nice. There's a lot of things you'll never know, and I think it's best we keep it that way.
W1801/Ice180: Disappointment is the first word I have for you. You had a group, you had a dream of leading it, and while I may have initially been attempting to destroy said group, I was hoping you'd stick with that group. However, I suppose it may be for the best that you haven't continued with AcR, considering the way it was while it was alive. You're best suited as just a regular guy.
Justin50003: Honestly, I don't hate you but I also don't like you a whole lot. You kind of turned into an ass randomly and started to talk crap about A-SOV even though you were with the group for several months. While I won't come out and say I severely dislike you, I do kind of dislike you and think you're a jerk.
KeIvinn: You're pretty rad. Just an overall easy-going guy and I respect you for how you post on C&G at times. Keep doing what you do.
rushmekid/Dreygonian/10 other names/Chase: My man. You may have not been the most useful Paramount in the recent days due to supposed real-life issues, but I appreciate you regardless. You've carried A-SOV at some points, such as the Battle Network, and I appreciate that without a doubt. You've been around since the begin, and you are one of the reasons I am still leading this group. I sincerely hope you stick around, so you and I can stomp on all of A-SOV's enemies together. We all love you, man. Don't let us down.
Uncoverloser/Ed: Old friend from the days of old. Fist bump.
Weviro/Volatile: You look funny, but you have also been around for a very, very long time. I appreciate that, and I hope you stay with us for more days to come. Thanks for everything, WolatileWeminism.
GeneralGuyFieri/LordMori: Definitely not the brightest crayon in the box, but good luck with the group.
Vennetia/Swift: Fun to play EUIV with, but sort of annoying on Roblox otherwise. You're cool nonetheless.
BIoodborne: Congrats on FoC acceptance. I have no doubt you'll pass the interview, and I have no doubts Solar Breach will be successful. Best of luck, and don't give up on your dreams.
Ossadea: Madds! Hey. I guess I sort of made you dislike me somehow and I still can't really recall how, but I apologize for that. You seem fun to hang out with and maybe we could talk sometime!
SirBackspace: Cool beans. Thanks for helping with FoC.
Alexthai: Alexthai has thighs and some satay chicken (which is delicious, my god.) This residential Asian of A-SOV has been around for quite a while, and for that I appreciate you. Keep doing what you do.
Awesomerobloxme: Same goes for what I said about Alex, except the Asian parts. You're awesome, awesome.
Shadowelliot2302: weeb clique extraordinaire kawaii desu ultimate frisbee "non-consensual mating" culture
Lionbaita: Literally the mascot of A-SOV. Rawr, for the Lion.
