This could have been done before, if so I apologize and whatever
The point of the thread:
I am pretty selfish and I suck at 'keeping in touch' so that means there were cool people I know from TribalWar that I never really kept tabs on.
I'm sure some of you feel the same way.
So, where are these fuckers and how do we get in contact with them? I was hoping to play Tribes: Ascend with some cool peeps from the old days, but the current list in the other forum lists 90% of people I never heard of. Or, maybe I heard of, but I'm just too much of an asshole to remember them (plus I'm bad with names).
Listen, this ain't some sort of "HOLY SHIT TRIBES:ASCEND IS GREAT-EST GAME EVER" thingamajig, but some of us are old(er) and crusty(er) and miss playing with the old school peeps. Some of us miss the older days with less responsibilities and less significant others. Maybe you wanna catch up with the gang and the white and blue of the Tee-Dub just ain't cutting it.
I also figured it would make T:A a bit more fun if we had random scrims/join-ins for pub games, bullshitting on your favorite internet voice chat program. I see some old school people post every now and then, but I don't see their name in the beta thread(s). So, I don't know if this means they could give a shit, or if they just don't want to slog through a 1000000+ page thread.
I'm no alcoholic, but here's a 5 step program I've devised to help out with this:
First, I'm gonna rattle off names I remember (fondly, as in "positive impression", not "I touched that sack") from back in the day. You tell me if you've heard from them, can get in touch with them, and/or if they're willing to putz around with a tribes crew again. Let's find out if they have or are interested in playing the beta. If you remember some dudes (or chick) from back in the day, ask about them too. Maybe they just never came back because of all the TW drama.
The second part is ensuring we have enough beta keys to toss around to invite them. Maybe they're geniunely sad that they never got an invite and they've been waiting all this time for one of us outstanding individuals to throw them a bone (bone as in favor, not as in a hard penis).
The third part is, ensuring we keep up with this. Maybe we need a real thread in the members only forum, or just another option altogether. I dunno, IRC? The main problem here is that these people are actually probably too cool for school and are too busy to keep up with some humongous big thread or remembering how to IRC or shit like that.
Fourth part is that we'll need some internet voice chat service thingie with multiple rooms, probably.
Fifth part is something i haven't though up yet because I haven't anticipated it. In the meantime, step five is me not really apologizing for my horrible grammar. And not apologizing for repeating points in separate sentences and paragraphs.
Some names off the top of my head:
LogRoller, seen him post a few times, wrote on his TW wall or whatever
Bounty, I said some shit to him on facebook lets see if he responds.
Yankee, sent him a private message
poji_the_hat, sent him PM.
old_skul, sent pm.
So, don't get offended, there's probably tons more, but just gettin' the ball rollin here. Name some names of people you miss, maybe send them pm, maybe someone else talks to them on a regular basis.
