I discovered this game back in high school around 2012-2015 and it's always held a special place in my heart. After school my friends and I would race to one of the few computers in our classroom so we could play. If you think you're annoyed when you get betrayed by an ally just imagine getting betrayed by an ally 3 seats away from you! It was always a good time.
I've played this game off and on randomly ever since then with large gaps of inactivity but this year I've really jumped back into it headfirst. I missed having those fun game nights with my friends so I got one of my friends into the game and he loved it so much we ended up starting a small discord server with a decent size number of our gaming friends and the last couple of weeks especially have been a blast! We've been having scheduled matches a couple times a month (Depending on time and schedules of course) with a wide variety of maps, we have map votes for our next matches, I've been a lifetime member for years and a few of them have already become lifetime members now or are considering it. The first time the new players finally beat me (I'd been kicking their butts for a couple weeks and never lost since the creation of the server lol) it was cause for quite the celebration and trash talk! It's still talked about often as "Their greatest accomplishment".
It's been awesome showing the new players I've introduced to the game how to play and having likewise friends to play with and get excited for future matches. Getting to have such a variety of matches with a decent number of players like I used to in High School has been an amazing time. I know I might not be one of the OG high ranking members who've been around since the beginning but I just wanna say I love this game and I'm so happy it's still running.
I just felt like sharing this little story with whoever is still alive out there in the community! I hope you're all doing well.
