Good morning Misfits! You guys want to hear a very boring story?
A year ago, this little old major-general was flying in a game and met this crazy guy named Slatz...he was incredibly personable and friendly towards me...we kicked some ass in that game. He asked me why I wasn't in a squad..,
It was around this time also that some guys in squads started asking me if I was interested in joining a squad... Not everyone mind you, but a few smaller squads... Pfft I thought, really? What the hell is the point of that? This Slatz guy though, he really made my wheels turn... He was a [M]isfit...I had read about those guys...they're one of the biggest squads out there...and he actually noticed me...
I bet by this time, I had read every big squad's opening page...so before I ran into Slatzy I had been thinking about it. There were 3 that I was interested in: Gunners Inc and MOM which seemed ok...but there was just something about that [M]isfit thread that attracted me...
Now I had just gotten my kdr to positive numbers. That was what I wanted to do before joining anybody... there was also a recent explosion in the squad which had delayed any previous thoughts of posting or applying. But now was the time... Oh yeah, I forgot this funny little detail: Everyone had a banner...so I thought it would be impressive if I had a banner...so hours and hours of fiddling around and Comet56 had a banner: ok now I'm way cooler, right?
It was a Monday. I had the day off because it's a holiday here in the Great White North. I sat and stared at my phone. I was sweating, I was nervous. Wow, I've never posted anything anywhere on the forum...look at all these guys! VonHulk, TBuilt, Bzerk, Foust, Reckless, on and on... Will they accept some no name low ranking goofball like me?
And so I typed out my very first post ever...actually it wasn't the first time that I typed something out. Many, many times this chicken had something he wanted to post... Just never was brave enough to push "submit". I bet some wish I still had at least some reservations there sometimes but I digress...
And I hit submit. And then I waited. It was a year ago (tomorrow the 4th) that I did this. Some thought I was someone else on a second account...you know who...lol The rest is history!
In the last year, I can't even begin to describe how cool it's been. If you told me a year ago that I would meet so many neat people, make moraf, hit top 100, become an officer, and become friends with so many of you...and many other things along the way, I would not have believed you. In fact I would want to smoke whatever you were smoking!
What the hell were you guys thinking?
Seriously, thanks very much! It's been awesome to be here! We are a family of Misfits! Can't tell you how proud I am to be a part of things here. Let this ride continue!
Love Steve aka Comet56/[m]Comet/[M]Comet/[*M]Comet
