Final PA Building Topic
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2003 2:48 pm
Ok fellas...First off, my apologies for my absence this weekend. My DSL went down all day Sunday, so I was unable to login. Some of you may have seen my character, but Juggs was playing him to help move things along. Yesterday I had to go get a Colonoscopy, which requires the use of HEAVY laxatives the day before (Sunday). If I am going to sit on a toilet all day, I want it to be mine, so I didn't go LAN up at Juggs (You have a perfectly fine crapper Juggs, no offense). I could not play after the procedure yesterday, but my DSL is back up thank god.I will be on tonight, but I don't know what the current status of the PA Hall is. Did Juggs get it finished up? If he has not, I will do so tonight.I want to thank all of you who contributed to my Master status. I truly appreciate it, and you have shown excellent teamwork working together to achieve a common goal. Many of you gave without even thinking of yourselves, donating most of your money, collecting hides and resources for hours on end, and spotting good locations for mining. Almost everyone contributed in some way, and you really impressed both me and Snape with your willingness to donate to the clan. You will not be forgotten.And now for what some of you may consider bad news. I have been pondering this since I started playing in Beta, and have reached a difficult decision. I have decided that after the PA Hall is up, I don't plan on putting my Architect in FoU. He will be joining Legion, who is focusing on crafting and selling under the "SidCo" tag Legion will adopt to represent ourselves as a Corporate Entity. Legion also has many people in it that I know on a real life basis. The leader Ewik was one of the groomsmen in my real life wedding (Juggs was too!). I have a long MMORPG history with them, and cannot stop that dead in its tracks.The gameplay neccesary for a pure crafter goes against what we stand for in FoU. It isn't about having fun or playing together, it's simply about playing hard and seriously to make cold, hard credits. I don't want to bring that kind of attitude into the clan, because it will not mesh well with most of you. This is also the reason a merge between the clans simply would not work. Legion is filled with "Powergamers" and FoU is filled with a bunch of friends who like to goof off and have some fun together. A little of me fits into both of those categories, but the majority of players from both clans don't enjoy both styles of play.I will, however, be putting my Combat Medic in FoU so that I can actually go out and fight stuff with you guys. I think this will be better since I can spend more time with you doing that, rather than sitting in my house pumping out deeds and only chatting to a few of you as you stop by from time to time. The Combat Medic is geared more towards the FoU environment, allowing me to simply hang out and have fun, or go on a killing spree with you (just like JK2!).The Combat Medic is my wife's character Asti Spumanti. She plays about once every 2 weeks, and has no problems with me using her character anytime (essentially making it MY character). I have leveled Asti up to Master Medic (with lots of help from my brother Rollin). I have often played Asti while playing Crashster at the same time. In fact, I have grouped with some of you and you didn't even know it was me (Oooooh SNAP!).Now that I am Master Architect, I plan on playing Asti the majority of the time (after the PA and houses are built and all that jazz). Crashster will require little playtime once my harvesters are setup. I simply need to keep my shop stocked.I will still supply all of you with deeds and furniture for free or next to free anytime you need it. Just because my Architect will be in Legion does not mean I won't play with you guys as him anymore.I hope no one is upset by my decision, and I hope you realize why it truly is for the best. Had I came to this decision early on, I would have let you know beforehand. Unfortunately, this decision was not easy by any means, but it looks like things will work out the best this way.So, once I find out the status of the PA Hall, I will do what is needed to get it completed ASAP. If the deed is already ready, then I can't wait to party with you guys when it's placed. Just lemme know when!
