:D:D:D:D Happy Day All!! Happy Day Indeed :D:D:D:D
Today, the 16th of June represents 1 year of playing Ricochet with you people. Sure most of you have come along since then, but I will tell you all of what I remember from my first day.
There was a guy who I figured had spelled his name wrong somehow. JabbaHunt seemed like a nice guy. I wondered whether I should ask about his name. Bah, I will get around to it sometime. It's only been a year now. I remember a guy named ThisShitsTrippy. I only remember because I was thinking just that. We agree. I remember a guy names Sinbon. Were there really Ricochet Clans? Wow, I will never join one of those! I remember a guy named SilentBob, who while he wasn't silent by any means, only refered to himself in the third person. I can't remember whether I met Fritoman that first day or the second. Maybe it was the second time I played on the first day. Who knows? Soon I would be seeing all sorts of frito's... fritokid, fritodad, fritodog, etc. Anyone else hungry? I remember EverythingMustBurn, a guy I don't remember much about. He was pretty damn good, though!
I didn't win too many games that day. In fact I still remember walking right off the plat. I cherish it as I see new players do it each and every day. I think to myself... crap... another worthless noob round for me, but at the same time I think, how lucky is this guy? He gets to start fresh in a fun game with a great bunch of players! If he or she can make it past the first day, we will have the new player for a couple more days. If they go on to enjoy those, we may have tomorrow's best player EVER! We are just the start, people! This game could have 300 servers someday soon folks! If we keep playing, and we support the game as we have been, then we may soon have updates and solutions to each of the problems you have mentioned in the petition thread. When I get back from vacation I will go on an email and phone campaign to not only get your petition acknowledged, but also to bring somone important to our site. I will also do everything I can to get a key Ricochet programmer into my weekly interview column. If I can pull it off, it will be a great read!
Thanks again for being a great community! I owe much to each of you for your own personal roles in my enjoyment for this mediocre halflife mod. Your mutual enjoyment makes it a great mod instead!
:D:D:D:DAgain, Happy Happy Day!! :D:D:D:D
