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

<< < (5/9) > >>

The Mann:
Me, Sir Steffen and Leon once took 3 squids on a 4 v 4 Flayed Hills.

Each ship was called Crp Arrow One, Two or Three.

Was a blast using Tar Barrels and Moonshine

Newbluud:
Hm, okay.

An unnamed (unremembered) hero: Teaching me the ranges and deployment heights of mines across the four ranges loadout, showing me just how much fun I can have throwing balls around.

The Mann: Admittedly we don't know each other all too well, but during my lowest point in GoIO, when I was set to pack in the game due to being shit sick of playing against stack after stack, he became the first person with a degree of game knowledge to sit down and take a session out with me. I had more success and a lot of fun, and I learned a little about flying more conservatively and communication.

Skrimskraw: Made no efforts to protect my feelings when flying with him shortly after I joined Predators. Did me a lot of good in terms of improvement, as he made me realise that I wasn't mediocre, I was actually bad at the game. Nowadays is somewhat of an enigma to me. But, cheers anyway.

TheMightyKeb: Basically showed me how the squid is not a steaming pile of gorilla excrement designed to trap stupid players in an endless cycle of losses. I learned a lot about piloting, how to use tools and how to weight up an engagement simply by being a part of his crew. Additionally, taught me effective and efficient squid crewing.

The rest of T.Pr: For being the first every clan I ever joined in any game, ever. Also for putting up with my intoxication, be it alcohol or otherwise, on a frequent basis... Also, certain members in particular, for appealing to my biases and basically confirming how much I hate almost all anime and the surrounding culture.

Everyone who ever replied to my threads begging for tips: I was guilty of it. Approaching the forum with a very specific issue with my play or whatever, and making a thread in the hopes that the big boys would pick me up and escort me to mummy for a bandage on my scraped knee. Either way, you all did a lot of good in changing the way I look at the community, the game and myself (as a player). Thank God only a couple of you are total dickheads.  :)

ShadedExalt:
Anyone who ever replied to threads I made asking for tips, you guys helped start me down the path to not being horrible at the game.

I have a long way to walk down that path yet.


The Bards for being the first clan I've been in ever, and generally being cool guys.


MightyKeb, for discussing game mechanics with me and swapping tips for hours.


Logicalia, who said he was gonna train me but we have yet to actually do so.  Not his fault, I fact I put him here because I know this can only help (When we get around to doing so)

Everyone who's put up with my bad gunning, piloting, and engineering ever.  I was the scrublord of all scrubs for a short time.

I have now ascended to being roughly 80% scrub free.


Honourable Mentions:

Carn and Koali for being part of the Cantina revival, and helping me build my own character from an odd, wandering tinker with a mass of mysterious resources, to an engineer and part time tinker dedicated to his craft and spreading the teachings of how not to be an idiot.

Queso:
I blame me for breaking everything. I also credit MetaFive for getting me into this game way back in beta, and Bubbles and Watchmaker for taking a chance on me and letting me intern at Muse as a programmer.

The Mann:
You're back ! :D
