oh hey there STC, been a while

Just noticed this, and it has. My old computer stopped working so I stopped playing RA2 for a while. Then other videogames showed up (Titanfall to be exact), then I got bored of it (I sucked at it, and 10 year olds started buying it), then I got my new laptop, and then here I am...a year and a half later!

Long story short, no matter how hard I try to leave, I find myself coming back. I hate you all.

Seriously, 8 freaking years lol.

Everyone keeps going "4 years this" and "8 years that" meanwhile I'm sitting here with a forlorn face droopier than Ray Romano because I'm in the 10-year club. (11 if you count the year at AceUplink before GTM existed.)

IMO, RFS should be some kind of "Super Veteran" for having 10 years. Normal veteran title goes for those who have been 5 years around, for example. Just a suggestion.

I've already got like 8 years on my partner way to make me feel even older, Jonzu.

I appreciate the gesture though, haha.

How can we possibly support a system where GoldenFox93 will have a color name?

I'm talking about those who are still active. GF93 is clearly retired member.

I think you should add that they need to be respected on the forum and actually contribute to RA2 in a significant way in order to become vet. Otherwise you get people like Jonzu (who was the local emotional trainwreck of the forum for years) or Andrew (dedicated playground-ite) becoming RA2 "veterans".

RFS · « **Reply #45171 on:** May 25, 2014, 04:04:20 PM »

By virtue of being a furry there is no other role Jonzu could play other than being a magnet for emotional drama. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is *piano riff* things will never be the same.

Thyrus · « **Reply #45172 on:** May 25, 2014, 04:15:42 PM »

what a sneaky way to get yourself the vet status johnzy

playzooki · « **Reply #45173 on:** May 25, 2014, 04:19:30 PM »

in his defence, jonzu has made some contributions, such as running some of the robot wars tournies.

Thyrus · « **Reply #45174 on:** May 25, 2014, 04:23:03 PM »

yes. he would have had his title a long time ago if there hadn't been all the drama he caused on purpose.
If he stays out of it from now on I would support him becoming au or vet but knowing his behaviour makes me think it's unlikely.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #45175 on:** May 25, 2014, 04:29:45 PM »

I refuse to try to run a tourney or anything else extensive because I just plain don't have time to **** with it. I'm too busy with my real life. You know, like raising my kids and so forth. But if that means I'll never get vet status, so be it.

It's not like I don't still build, but I guess you have to devote a huge chunk of your existence to be recognized around here.

I was just saying my opinion. Calm your tits, Geez.

you are a cool dude andy. i like you. but i guess it's the spammimg that people connect with you rather than building

Andrew, unless I'm mistaken aren't you Andrewbot? And if so, that means you've allegedly been around in the RA2 community as long as I have.

Also I agree with the sentiment about not having the time to do things. My days of being able to waste an entire afternoon playing RA2 and arguing with the mods at AceUplink ended a very very long time ago. On a good day I have maybe 40 minutes open where I can tinker with the game and that's all the time I put into designing and tweaking a robot design, and then I don't play the game for four days because I'm busy archiving crap to my website or I'm tired from being at work and cooking meals for the week in advance.

You're mistaken. I joined five years ago on June 6th. But there are people here with Veteran status that joined after me.

It's not that I really care, it just kind of bugs me that I am being thrown out of consideration just for the fact that I am not willing to devote my life to a now 10 year old game when I have more important obligations to tend to.

I mean, I guess I could try to run a tourney and then let it fail like some hosts seem to do a lot.
