I shall contribute to the redundancy going on.
Like I've said many times over the past few months, it's a cycle. The community grows and shrinks as people outgrow it. New people come in, and eventually leave. It just happens.
However, this doesn't mean I don't miss the days when it was impossible to get on the constantly packed TTT server, where there was constant laughter (edit: oh my god i started crying here), fun, and just non-stop gaming.
I still remember very clearly my first ever time to play with RND. I had been server-surfing for a while, finding a new community because all mine were gone. I had a friend that played TTT pretty often, so one day, I decided to see what it was, and I joined. The server happened to be RND. I forgot who this friend was, and I don't remember if he was a member here or not, but my first round was one I'll never forget. I joined (The map was minecraft) and spectated a round, and then the next round, I was a Detective. Being a TTT minge, I walked around not knowing what the hell to do. I remember people shouting at me to come "ID a body" (whatever the hell that meant) so they could kill the traitor from the DNA. Looking back, I'm pretty sure those people shouting at me included Prox, TehHank, and maybe Chris. Well, I get to the body after the DNA decayed, and get shot in a mass murder by the traitor. And I decided to learn the game. Best decision of my gaming life.
I still look back and find it incredibly hard to believe how much time I spent in the game, and how much fun it was. Somehow, there was always something funny or interesting or awesome going on (queue
everything in the TTT Faceist thread) that everyone wanted to be a part of. I can't believe that I used to spend hours upon hours and stay up till 4-5 in the morning playing TTT...
Again, like I always say, I bet this is going to happen over and over to us in our lives. We will have great times, but everything must end. Hopefully we remember the good times and great friends we made here. I don't want to forget. That's the scariest and saddest part of all this. We know that someday, it will end and we will forget what happened here. It's just the way life is. So, we need to appreciate it while we have it, and cherish those memories for as long as we can.
God dammit, the past few years with all of you were fucking epic.
