Who do you credit for who and what you are today in GoIO community?

(1/9) > >>

Silent Marauder:
So basically I had this little idea in my head for the last 20 or so minutes to share, who do you credit for who you are today in the most awesome game about airships - Airships: Conquer the Skies Battlefield Guns of Icarus. Please keep it as clean as possible.


Archriel - Duh, of course I'd credit the guy, who tought me very basics of what and why with his infinite supplies of patience. Without him, I'd probably be some random scrub loading Hwacha with lochnagar ammo.
Dementio Daniel - The person, who made me run around Mobula quick enough to repair stuff and encouraged to actually communicate with the captain. He stopped being pissed 24/7 with me onboard, so I guess I started doing things right. Most of the time.
JarmenKell - Stealing all of Daniel's patience surely was a lot of fun, was it? It allowed me to make less mistakes and forced to play better than casual scrub.
GurasOguras - A friend and rival for as long as I can remember. Thanks for forcing me to buy this game! I wouldn't meet people on this list without your constant babbling Buy Guns of Icarus! Let's fly together! :3
FredTheFifth - For flying with me long enough to pass the word of my existence to Ryders and supporting me in reaching this goal. Also, wrecking me over and over in XCOM until I've learned something. Yes, I still remember about mauling you to death with a pipe wrench. The object of hate of entire community. :3
Lueosi - For constant blabbing about why *insert anything* is not done properly/quick enough/at all. Christ, how much I hated you for that, but looks like listening to it payed off. Just don't do it again, please.
GeoRmr - Thanks for being an icon of gunner and barrier to pass. Flying with and against you teached me how to shoot accurate and quick enough to outshoot most of people. Why Marauder? Every (...) time! still rings in my ears.
Wundsalz - Your Junker still haunts me in my nightmares, yet forcing me to play with Hades 24/7 until I've started to hit enemies instead of buildings on Paritan was a cancer to me. Thanks for doing that, I'll shoot you to death first chance I get.
Lochnagar - Flied with me using fun builds instead of meta and hard-counters, helped me get some more problematic achievements. Basically someone, who'd kick my sorry ass when having mental breakdown about how bad I shoot.
Hillerton - The charismatic type that would make me do stuff and try to make me not regret doing it. Helped me during hard times with mental health and discussed stuff about the game and catgirls. Just please, do not ever tell me again anything about male cats. Ever.
Ayetach - The friendly guy who's always laughing at stuff and never sounds down. Lifted my spirit more than one or two times. Your moral support, even unintentional, was priceless!
Skrimskraw - To be honest doing silly stuff with you was fun, but talking about sexual intercourses with Guras' sister was filling me with so much anger that I wished nothing but for you to be at the other end of the Hwacha. Thanks for being that target, teached me how to disable ships properly with as little effort as possible using liongun. No hard feelings!
Llamas Unite - For doing silly stuff with me like 1080 noscope ramkills, helping with organisational part of clan and describing everything I need to know about it.
Allien' - Thanks for talking even less than me on Mumble. Because of it my overall lack of communication didn't seem as bad. Awesome shooting, mate!


Of course I can't point out every single randomly met person from lobbies of Icarus, but thanks for having patience when flying with me as a pilot! You rock!

Hunter.:
Oh god, my list isn't half as comprehensive - but I will list what I can!

The Muse team for making this game

TotalBiscuit for making content for this game in beta which led me to pre-order. If only I hadn't been in Spain on launch day - I might have not had a full stop in my name today ^^

All the guys from back at TAW - we may not have been the greatest team, but we had a blast and got some kills on people who played more than us and had more experience than us. And I am glad you trusted me as your competitive leader!

Skrim, for teaching me everything about competitive, I went from getting essentially pubstomped in matchmaking to piloting alongside the best in no time!

Everyone who greeted me in lobbies and invited me to games when I logged in - I've never felt more wanted in a community than when I would log in, get invited to a match full of faceless green names who would greet me like an age old friend!

CA's for voting me in to CA-ship 2 years ago! I've had a great time helping newbies and chatting with you all!

The lads from The Pit - giving me things to do when I procrastinate from procrastinating!

All my current clan-mates. I thought I would only need to brush up my skills to get back on par with other teams for my "grand return", however you guys showed me that Skrim only scratched the surface of this game! Additionally you guys took me in when I had lost all my friends in the space of 2 weeks. So I am deeply thankful that you guys in particular, as well as the rest of the community took me back in after my long affair with competitive MOBAs!

Love you all, full homo ;)

Riggatto:
ass-kissing thread

Learned to pilot from watching Zill, learned to gun from watching Yiski. Still haven't learned to engi as Shink was not an excellent choice to watch...

Carn:
Riggato, if it weren't for him constantly taking sniper Mobulas, I doubt I would possess my skill with the mercury. And for teaching me to use mines, and that anything that moves is the right target when using mines.

BdrLineAzn, you taught me a lot of interesting parlour tricks and some all round good tips.

SapphireSage, he showed me more of how to be a good engineer than anyone else. He gave advice when I started piloting.

SillyBunny, he helped me get flak kill achievements, which in turn got me rather good at it.

Every last member of the DAGZ, I was in a rough spot when I joined, but Impy let me join and I've had nothing but good times flying with you. (current WiFi gets me over 200 ping on American severs, if it can even connect. I will play regularly again whenever possible.)

Honorable mentions

Koali, we may not have flown much, but you helped revive the Cantina giving me a chance to flesh my character out into Alister Carn, before he was just a vague picture in my head called Carn.   

ShadedExalt, between you and Koali I have constantly enjoyed the insanity we create in the Cantina.

Zabinzu:
Guess I'll add a few

Twinkie D lite: for giving me something to aspire to.

The Gentlemen and the Ducks: for kicking me and my mates into the ground constantly (built character and determination)

Gullyman: Setting the bar in friendliness

Cake: Excellent sportsmanship/Bagels!
