We have developed a community of mutual interest in a game that will probably be forgotten sooner than later. However in the web page and forums, we have the opportunity to get to know one another in a way beyond what is offered in play. We take very little from the usual gg's, lol's, that guy haxor's, Bleet's, Oorgles's, and random shittalking. Not to say we knew nothing of eachother prior to the forums, however we have something now that is infinitly more valuable to expressing real thoughts and opinions.
I will grab at this opportunity to create some discussion. I will offer some observations about life in general. They may or may not pertain to Ricochet, CounterStrike, Half-Life, or they may be completely unrelated. In any case I will do so once each week. If you choose to read them, great. If not. Oh well, I can deal with that too. Dialogue leads us to see eachother for who we are. Obviously you each wanted to know one another at least a bit more intimatly, for you did register to read and post.
Please reply as you please, but keep a few things in mind.
1. Beastie does not always take the side of which he posts. I like to play devil's advocate from time to time.
2. All opinions expressed are respected and worthy of acknowledgement. Please do not jump too hard on somone for sharing the potentially unpopular.
3. Please do not spam these topics. If you have something to share, put some thought behind it and make sure it's more than 2 lines. I may ask admins to remove certain posts if they offer nothing to the discussion.
4. I may add more to this list as time goes on.
Enjoy all, for a lot of peeps are doing a great job on these forums. I just want to add my 2 cents. My first topic will follow.
