First, some close friends.
1. Santa Claws - former SoC/TGA player, also played for Citadel. From Chicago, and a very fun person to know. Got to meet him once in Real Life for dinner when I was driving a big truck through Chicago area. RIP, buddy. :( Now passed.
2. Mello - former TGA player, also played for Citadel. From Austin, and a very funny lady to chat with. Had a great sense of humor and a sharp wit.
3. Gramberto - former LaF player and all around douchebag, but he was fun to watch with his various guises on the forums.
4. Patience - my absolute favorite Earth Person, from Calgary, Alberta, one of the few warlike Canuckians. former LaF and TIE player. Met her in Real Life in Virginia while also meeting my next person.
5. Viper - former RoCK player, and also played for Steel. From Richmond, VA. Met him in Real Life and introduced him to the official real Philly Cheesesteak when I went to Virginia to meet Patience.
6. Tirol - former OOA player, founder of RAGE. Don't really know where he was from, we never discussed it directly, never met him in Real Life, but I had a blast playing this game with him back in the day. Some people tell me he's still playing under another name somewhere, I won't say where, since I'm not positive either.
7. Ghost - I think he might have played for Omega back in the day. I met him in Real Life in the Hartford, CT area where I'm fairly certain that he's from. He had some of the more hilarious posts on the old AT forums.
8. Ench - former Omega player from Germany. Met her in Real Life in NYC. A nice lady although she hated my car. LOL I suppose that's because it was American Iron, or so it seemed. LOL
9. Cougar - former player for the KoH/TGA, completely mad player. Loved to fight, and made sure that there was one to get into every game. Met him in Real Life too, in fact, at one point, he was a roommate of mine in the Philly area.
There are others to be sure, but these are the ones I thought about today. :)
What a magnificent game Mehul Patel created here, eh? It's earned the loyalty of many fine people to play it over the years.
