I remember when i was quite young, my dear mom who was pretty much useless as a mother and had very little to do with me, but for one time in her life decided to take me to a movie. She took me to Xanadu. Now, as a 10 year old boy, and without a father figure, I had no idea what was cool and what wasn't. but, the music struck up, and i watched, and I was entranced. And at one point, I belive it was when they protagonist skated through the brick wall and the effects kicked in a bit, I said outload, "woah." Some 'older' kids in the front of the theater thought this was hilarious, and mocked me to no end. Now, my mother, at this point, went to the theater manager and complained, who then came to the lil bastards and warned them to behave. To this day, I'm not sure whether my mom was more pissed at someone ruining her kids enjoyment, or whether she was embarrassed because her kid was awed by something other kids thought was stupid (but they sat it the theater anyway). What am I trying to say? I've grouped with masters (and others) who for the first time have reached their goals, and are now 'Masters'. They don't know the mud inside and out, they don't know which imm plays which mortal. They are just happy to be here, and are excited that they have someone in this 'elite' cabal, the Masters. I've played for sometime now. And I've met more elitists than I care to count. I'll say it now more than ever, I'd much rather see someone in CF that is trying their ass off, than somebody who gets pissed off because they can't provide 3 barrier wands in three seconds. Can the imms fix this no. Can those who read this? Yes. We've all agreed that it's the players that make this game rock. Think about what that means for a moment.
