G'day guys, just realised my 3 year anniversary for joining forums was yesterday.
Um, no special shoutouts, but everyone is awesome.
Cheers.
SHOUTOUTS!!!!!!
Squall - I thought you were ruining DtK, but i see you are the glue that holds it together.
Stig - Owns a landcruiser, what more needs to be said
Umesh - Always a great bloke to have a game with.
Cuffeh - One of the most enjoyable people in DtK to talk to. Also has teh best laugh! (after Beccas evil laugh)
Frendy - AKA the award cleaner. Also good to have a game with . . . . has a hot mum (couldn't help it)
Rowdy - Many hours well spent in game with this lad
S15 - One of the all time greatest ragers and hackers. Also kicks me from servers the rude bastard.
Bobba - Cool graphic things bro.
Androiid - Such a dud. But a lovable one.
Dali - one of the best and most frustrating people i've played with.
Button - Freak.
Imthenewguy - A valuable asset to the DtK team, and a great guy to game with
Mircan - Always knifes me . . right in the feels.
Purp - Purp and i go way back, like . . . back there. Never a dull moment and always makes everyone around him more cheerful.
Pecca - Badger badger badger badger badger badger MUFF BAG MUFF BAG! Special mention for Becca having a large part to play in me getting staff, and from stealing me away from conquest to JB. Those days of the 8 hour Skype calls for official DtK bizness (and calls to Silvia) will forever be a highlight in my DtK history and will never be forgotten.
Delta - Thanks for blowing up my house in rust. Also, Epic legend right hur.
Drunk Dud - Many an alcoholic night of drunken late night banter. Miss those days :\
Enzome - No one can fail as hilairously as you bro, you have many a talent None useful
Geesix - Don't make me pug you with a shotgun bro.
Honoba - You made conquest that little bit more special for me, it's not the same without you bro.
Juggernaut - MmM juggs . . . . .
Knitting - Good casual all-rounder, always happy to game on.
Krezend - For a guy so unbelievably frustrating to play a game with, you make things so much more fun.
Morph - A great player and mentor. The war days were a hugh highlight in my career of bad aim, good times were had indeed. I'm full of hugs for you mopsy, they are just all mental ones.
Panny - Possibly one of the best internet lads i know. So much non gay love for this brother.
Frag - A genuinely top bloke, excellent staff member, excellent player, excellent everything. One of the all time greats.
Recoil - I only remember a very few games with you, but you were a beacon of awesome that drew everyone in. May you rest in peace.
Tonic - A bigger dud than Androiid.
Fishy - Not a jedi anymore, but i'm sure one day he will restore balance to the force. Fishy for quite a long time was my anchor to reality when i was in tough times. Helped me through a hell of alot without even knowing half the time. One day, we will meet and it will be awesome. But you buy the beer cos i'm a tight prick.
Pwnage - a JB freak. Before admin, this guy had more control over the server than half the current admins at the time. Highly respected player.

Gman - Doesn't understand jokes, but a great person to talk to
Jasper - great player and great admin..
Mellow - You have a dog on your head
Pimp Master - most annoyingly awesome person in the world!

Faphat - Thoroughly enjoyed working with you as an admin. Some of the best conversations i've had in a game have been with you son.
Rev - A very dedicated EM, one of the first and one of the best.
Ownage - A champ in his own league, enjoyable person to talk to
I didn't recognise to many names under this point. If i missed anyone (highly likely) just hit me up on steam or PM me.
Throughout my rise and fall in DtK, there has been many people here that have made it special and memorable. Something i'll have with me for the rest of my life and or memory span.
I was fortunate enough to be considered for an admin position for conquest, but was stolen and ended up on jailbreak. It was a great time full of great players.
Gaming for me was not about the game, it was the social aspect of the game, and it was the players that made DtK unique. Back then, the forum activity was alot more social, and with a smaller member base it was alot more cosy and personal, like a small country town.
Eventually, i made it to the staff rank and at that point i became heavily focused on the forums.
At some point, the stresses of life, kids, work, all that crap started to become too much. After a few ugly months of burning bridges i left, and continued to burn bridges.
So i took a break from gaming and DtK in general, and had a few different jobs and eventually work started to dominate my life. I dropped off the radar for a while, and now after moving houses again, and getting my shit together i've been wanting to come back to the servers. But my latest house has the internet of a half eaten raw potato. So while i wish to get back in game and get amongst it, i really cannot enjoy it with such a high ping.
To sum it all up, it's been a very different and rough ride, but i've made some friends for life and for as long as DtK is around, i'll be lurking somewhere!
To everyone i missed in the shoutouts, i'm very sorry. So many names i look at and go yep i'll do a shoutout . . . . but who are they again? My memory is not so good.
To everyone i've pissed off, picked on, fought with, abused etc, i'm very sorry about all that, sometimes the stresses of life can be too much, and i shouldn't have taken it out on others. It's been a while since my last outbreak, and i'd like to think there will not be any more.
Thanks for reading, and again, you guys are awesome!
