Well, I guess I should post my story...
My brother is a CS addict, and I was a TFC addict, so naturally, we noticed the hype about the new Ricochet mod. My brother downloaded it, played it for 5 minutes then let me take over. I started playing(rc_arena) and instantly noticed that the movements and such are quite similar to TFC, and the disc shooting was also alot like TFC's soldier rockets. So, I stayed and started on a server called...halflife, I think it was, and the maximum number of players was 6. The reason why I played on that server was because it was the ONLY server that actually gave me good ping...25 ping in fact. So, I would just sit in the empty server for 10 minutes or so and wait for people to start to join.
I then noticed that Ricochet...was easy....so easy that I decided to stay. I started off with the strategy of shooting decap disks at the place people were going to land...and early in my Ricochet career, I developed a hate for push discs. I played more and more, nearly everyday now and completely forgetting about TFC. Eventually, a player named oh_yeah joined. He completely spammed the push discs, and such...but I noticed one thing...he shot over the barriers.
After a week, I was shooting people over the barriers with decap disks. Then people started calling me lame because I used nothing but decap discs....so then, I switched over to push discs, but I never spamemd them.
By now, the halflife server that I had such great ping on dissapeared, and I did have one more server in my favourites that I told myself I would play on if the halflife server ever died...but I got 100 ping on it, not good for TFC or CS terms, but at that point, I didn't realize that ping doesn't affect things too much in Ricochet.
It was the KAH server.
I played and played and played..although I forgot who I got trick jumping from, I saw somebody do a trick jump once, then I copied and then started doing it more and more. Before I knew it, I was trick jumping and using push discs in the air.
Then, I noticed all the idiots that reconnected, spammed, cheated, bugged and abused the game. So, with Sinbon to help me find the owner of the server(the KAH clan), I asked them if I could become an admin for it. He made both me and Sinbon an admin. So happily, I managed the server and then joined KAH, which was a TFC clan ironically. That's when I got to know the members of KIA and such, and then APS was formed with the help of Davion.
Soon after, I was sick of being called cheap and lame for using nothing but push discs, so I switched back to decap discs and found out that for some reason, I did better with them. I kept on playing both Ricochet and TFC for the longest time, all through the summer and such.
Slowly though, Ricochet was begginning to bore me, and the KAH clan proved to be a dissapointment. So, with Davion dissapeared into the realm of Everquest and other APS members missing, I quit it and quit the KAH clan along with it. I joined PFM, another TFC clan and temporarily quit Ricochet, since the new PFM clan was much more skilled and required more committment.
But, things don't last forever.
I then quit both TFC and Ricochet for Tibia. An online RPG that I used to play a loooooong time ago, but quit because I became sick of the Player Killings....I waited patiently for 6 months....(Ironically, the time I spent playing Ricochet and TFC again) for a new server to come out that didn't have Player Killing. One was made, called Secura. I instantly started to play Tibia again full time, meaning no time for other games at all. For online RPGs, it's a race if a new server is created.
For the next 7 months, I played Tibia. I'm now the highest player in Secura. :D
Throughout the times, I came back to Ricochet, because I always miss games that I enjoyed in the past. Rusty, I played on and off, seeing how all the people I remembered are now the top players of Ricochet.
And so....I guess that's my story, I also dragged Rulepool2 and Mew into Tibia a bit :P
So that's my story....I just love making huge posts:P
