"My promotion speech":
I started playing about a year ago on the servers of this community. Before i always played on other servers. Many of them had no good service and admins were not around alot. I played on multiple servers but I never had a solid home server.
Several months passed and i found myself having lots of fun at sammy's servers. So i started playing here more. I discovered in a brief amount of time that this community was worth playing on. This community had the things i missed on other servers. The people here were really friendly and always willing to answer & help. I became a regular in no time.
I didnt knew about the forums for a long time, otherwise i would have applied way earlier. I remember it was Mike who told me about applying for membership sometimes. So i applied. I was happily accepted when I applied. In the beginning I didnt check the forums that much. But when time passed by i found myself checking the forums more and more. A fun place to read about updates and how Joux abused Lex.
Then one day mr.9 told me to look on the forums, I was promoted to lvl2 member. Now I was finally able to vkick, vmute and vban. It was a nice function since now i could finally do somtehing when there was no admin online. Although sometimes an admin was afk and i couldnt do anything which was quite a bummer.
After , for what i felt like was a short time, i was suddenly promoted to trial admin. I felt honoured that i was given this responsibility. I must have done things right i thought. I felt happy that you guys trusted me with this job because i never asked for it. I thought that was not the way to rightfully achieve this status. But now here I am, a full server admin. Hoping to do right and help the community with the powers i have been given.
Alot of people have joined the community since i applied and there were also some people who left unfortunately. But that is just the way things go. I believe my english has also improved since i started playing here, and i dont mind if you guys grammar nazi me if i make mistakes ;). I believe this will only benefit me. But I know one thing. This community is definately the best i have ever seen. I think that is valuable, so i am willing to maintain a good playing environement.
Thanks for the promotion.
