It all started during my Sophomore year of high school. A friend in my computer class suggested this game as something fun to play and since it wasn't blocked by our system, we all gave it a shot. Everyday me, him, and two others would log on and we would play a Europe game with 1 or 2 random players. We'd play legit until the last 10 minutes of class. Then we would allyfag and crush the remaining player(s). It was hilarious to watch them rage.
Summer starts and at war is banned when we get back to school. They stopped playing but I continued on. I played blitz RC in Europe+ and would always ally Turkey and we'd rape. That went on for about a year. The following summer I played UN for a few months. I'd be south America, joedtaxi would be Canada, and we'd rape and win.
Then I met the legend Primal. He took me under his wing and I joined in a clan with another legend LDK as well as funtime. I played one CW which was a 2v2. I got raped by Ukraine when I played turkey. Primal who had just defeated his opponent, was low on troops, rebounded and raped Ukraine who had the entire east all to himself. It was then that I decided to become a great player.
I would sit and watch 3v3s. I'd ask for advice on what strats to play. I'd always get capped but focused on one day being good enough to cap somebody in a 3v3. At this point Primal started college and became inactive. I went to evoL with joedtaxi. MoU/Me/joe/Lord pontez/nero/paolo had a good time cwing together. This was when I got a lot better. But then some bad mouthing from clanmates made me leave because I thought they didn't respect their opponents. This issue was later resolved.
I left evoL in anger and was taken in by b0nk and Desu. Through them I met some of the greater legends like Fruit and cow. I learned an enormous amount through them.
On Monday, I start my first year of college. It has been a long ride that doesn't seem to be stopping. I have met many awesome people and a lot of fags, but I do love this community and this game. Hopefully you all stay active too.
