adx Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Great thread.Would read again. I've just read it again! I can't believe I wrote this 6 and a half years ago...

The smaller top meant more widespread fame, and 'knowing' most of the top back then, leads to feeling your 'old self' more important then your 'current self', as far as character goes. Grabbing on to past fame and successes over remaining sensible is something to watch out for - I mean, look at Madonna these days.- The opportunity to lash out with a childish comment at an old time enemy - regardless of whether it makes sense or not. For me personally, I look back at this past for more then 'the game' in itself. First of all, it has largely extended my english vocabulary. It got me into coding a clan website (basic html skills), I read up on PHP to code my own calculators for ARENAscape, I've learned what to say and what NOT to say, learned to plan things ahead ('efficiency'), learned to relativate losses, ...
