It's been fun being the best ever.
Super short version, EotS is out.
Short version, we are tired of being better than everyone else and we lose sleep at night thinking about how awful every other legion is so for the sake of our 10 hours of healthy sleep, we are closing shop.
Long version.
God I've been playing this game too long. Tree is and always will be #1 and I think enough time has past that everyone else truly understands that by now or refuses to stop living in the land of denial.
EotS was the last hurrah for many ships so we burned through high rank ships at a super fast rate. Rank 1500 joins, rank 2000 quits, rank 1500 joins, rank 2400 gets banned, you know how it goes. Now many of us have just grown away from the game due to turning points in our lives, graduating college and having kids are death sentences to many GL ships for all the right reasons.
Accomplishments.
- 1st level 10 base, gracias oh squishy one
- perfected the ~9 bases a day system, enough silver badges to blow our base stats way past any legion out there despite them being years older than us. Seriously, why didn't anyone ever think to do that before EotS? Cause ya stupid, that's why.
- perfected multi killing everything all day every day. For you newer folk, multi kill as in 1 base/ship/NPC elite that is simultaneously killed by a few ships causing the game to give you rewards several times for the exact same base/ship/NPC
- 4 - 8x disables on DCN
- 3 - 5x disables on bases
- 2 - 6x disables on enemy ships
- angering enough people that the bakers dozen coalition was created to try and teach us a lesson, something like 13 of the top 20 legions tried to beat us, hahahahahahaha, what a bunch of no talent clowns.
- 1st legion to make someone cry using just our legion description, Dan sat us down for a talk asking us to stop......
- tore apart the long standing Triumvirate from the inside
Viva la fluffy bunny
- 1st top legion to actually call it quits instead of drifting slowly into nothingness while pretending to be super active
I'll always appreciate this game for it has put me into contact with such an unimaginable range of people. From amazing people who just wow you with generosity and kindness to people who you just disgust you with how mean and petty they can be for no reason.
Some of the more memorable people:
- Super mom with a billion kids who plays GL while waiting for the babies to settle down for the night
- Psychologist who stops you mid conversation to confirm a suspicion that you are talking about an only child dealing with an alcoholic parent who also dreams of one day raising a few hundred sheep
- Hilariously generous Canadian who spends his day stealing adult videos from adult sites to put onto his own adult site
- Space fanatic who constantly talks about science related things that advance the human race towards the goal of space colonization
- anyone from New Zealand, seriously these Kiwis are some of the laziest laid back folks ever
- the guy who got the babysitter pregnant that was married to his 2nd wife who was the babysitter from his first marriage who he had also gotten pregnant.
- the kid from Michigan who was in a cult and was just super cool about how it wasn't a big deal
- lets just skip over the awful people.....
I think the one thing I will miss the most and if you don't do this then I just feel sorry for you.
Talking to people from around the world. Just awesome.
Having a nice conversation, telling a story, then whoa whoa whoa, do you guys have this store in Australia?
What do you call the metal cage on wheels that you roll around putting your groceries in?
Shut up about poutine...
What's wrong with the fact we pronounce Kansas and Arkansas in different manners that would make sense to you?
Are we really going to talk about the difference between Fall and Autumn again?!?!
Tree is #1
