Happy 10th Birthday, EtG community!

[Linkcat]

I've avoided posting in these threads over the years, but I'll make an exception for this one. Like many others, this community has given me more than I can describe in words. More memories than I could possibly count, friends from around the globe, goals to strive for, glorious victories, bitter defeats, companions, competitors, a job, a legacy, a family, a place to call home on the vast expanse of the internet. And, of course, mafia. I can only hope that I've given back as much as I've gotten.

Here's to another ten years.

I started playing on a friend's recommendation sometime in 2010, and has since then played it on and off like many others.
There are many great moments to remember. Being drafted in the last round of War #8 and then playing this amazing event. Funnily enough, I still remember hainkarga telling me the reason he took my was me being German, and that Germans are generally diligent. In all honesty I still don't know whether he was joking, but I sure didn't disappoint him! He even turned to become a mentor to me, don't know if he would like to be called like that, haha. Then, one year later, winning Trials myself and have an awesome War with inthisroom, andretimpa, Solaris and Naesala. Team Events are always my favourites in game (I hope Team PvP will sometimes come back so I can play that), and this is no exception. Whether is was hain, itr or later JCJ, I made great friends fighting our "enemies"!

And then, there is all the small things. In League, having JCJ create a 0/2 Chrysaora with Dive and comment with "worst ... mutant ... ever" made me laugh more than it should have. Playing Overdrive Titans vs. trashduke's DBH in Trenzalore, merely managing to get an Overdrive Titan out - and after 10-12 turns of just passing every turn, eventually even win because he could neither kill nor outheal it. You don't believe how tense a game can be despite doing nothing!

While Zanz has left this game, the community stays, and this is just amazing. Seeing all these people post here that have been active years ago when I was still a noob. Thanks for everyone helping to get this community up to the point where it is now. See some of you at the recent events!

Happy Birthday, Elements.

I joined the blab chat on a whim during a super boring work orientation and MasterWalks got me started, and hooked me up with an electrum grind deck. Shortly after that, talk of War 12 started, and it was all downhill from there. War was a blast, and I'm here for keeps now. Gimme dat cake!
