Well, I've got a good list here-

- Earned my first Championship (Metal Mayhem)
- Took Third Place in Replica Wars Series 1 and US vs UK (Tied with Scrap Daddy in the latter case)
- Became Superheavyweight
- Obtained and maintained a reputation over 10 for almost a year
- Beat Jonzu, Joeblo and The Ounce in BTTB2 to take the eighth ranking
- Took Fifth Place in Replica Wars 2
- Enjoyed several bouts of good-natured trolling with Nary, NFX, Jonzu and Thyrus
- Found myself a friendly rival in NFX
- Became a mentor to a new user
- Derailed at least a Junkyard's worth of threads

So yes, 'twas quite a successful year, overall      :beer:

Got back into the forums around mid-April, started building again. Learning the tricks of the trade, glitches, skinning, AI, arena reskinning, .txt file editing and such. Just generally being a nice guy around the boards most times, offering an opinion on some things. Won my first tourney, Total Annihilation, a couple months ago, following that up in October with a BOTM win. Started a friendly rivalry with GF93, getting to the final in RW2, which he didn't (Ha ha. :gawe:) and more or less trying to enjoy my time here. =D

The first part was definitely one of my more memorable moments on the forums this year   :beer:
 
But the part on RW2 did indeed happen, but made me sad   :ermm:
