long post alert xd
This is gonna be a different post. Tho I have a lot to update (plenty of new catchs from new island etc) I will leave this for the upcoming weeks. Today I wanna talk about something that recently happened and I would be lying if I said it meant nothing.
Most of you probably already know, but for those who doesnt, I was awarded Best Player in history of Padventures. Though I hardly believe such kind of polls can really assess anything (time proximity bias is a huge thing), I feel very happy to at least be recognized as such for so many players, many of them which I learned a lot from and many others I cherish a lot.
I have to say, it was never my intention to be "the very best like no one never was" (sorry, couldnt hold it xd), for real. But as I said, it's great to be recognized. And that's why I have to recognize all the people that helped me become the player I am today. They've helped me in so many different ways, supporting, helping, rooting for, providing insights, sharing info and intel, etc. So let's get to business cause it's a long list. It's important to highlight that names are in a random order of importance because it'd just be too hard for me to assess it.
Flapjack
My first friend in Platinum server and one of the main responsibles for me stopping being a casual player. We shared many insights back in the day and u were responsible for me starting to study raids, paying attention to weaknesses, strategy, damage, movesets, etc. One of most trustful people I met in this game. A bit paranoia queen (don't blame u tho) but nobody's perfect
we miss you mateInko and Lord Sqnik
First about Inko, I've always admired you long before we actually started talking. I always found your comments on forum extremely insightful, u were always very polite, I've been voting for u as most interesting person ever since and I never felt like changing. Sqnik, your knowledge of game never ceases to amaze me, I'm always learning something from you. Your thinking-outside-the-box astonishes me.
Invictus
I've always heard stories about this legend, speacially from Flap who was close friends with. We started talking more often during Daily Dungeons and in that moment I could see for myself the amazing player you were. If I won 2nd Dungeon it was partially because of your advices.
Fallen Angel
One of my dearest friends in game, someone who shares my curiosity about game quests, etc. We shared lots of info and intel, not to mention the great person and friend you are. Also one of the most trustworthy players I've ever met, helped me a lot on trying to keep Platinum a healthy environment ("enforcing" respectful attitude to his guild and sharing info about disrespectful players etc). Hope u get rid of your potato and come back playing eventually.
Iguanao
Back in Pearl I had very few friends cause I honestly thought everyone else was retarded (after 10 years I cant say I was totally wrong
) and this was one of those few friends. I remember back in the days he only missed Aero catch in the whole game (we had kanto and johto only). He was certainly a major inspiration to me as a catcher.Leozimbolado/Sea Trainer
My very first friend in Padv back from Pearl, I doubt this guy has any malice in his heart. Even tho you dont listen to any my advices, I cherish you a lot my bro. It was incredible to be able to participate of such a special moment of your life. Catan waits for us!
WickEd
We've been on this road for over 5 years now, many guilds have risen, many have fallen, and we are still standing and respected by most of community (ofc some ppl wont respect anyone). That's thanks to all of you. Thank you for keeping WickEd's reputation on top and for all the good moments, quest, help, laughter, Mc Gorila videos etc xd. Honorable mention to the closest to me, Xlaks, Dark Soksok, Silver Fang, Jeff, Pain and Purity, you guys are retarded as fuck but I love you, but all the others should feel addressed here.
Ma Diamond bois
Gandryk, Tsots, Lorens. I couldnt finish this without mentioning you guys. We developed a friendship this year in different situations but it feels like I know you guys for a long time already. Thanks for all your support, all your stories, insights, help, I really believe in you guys. Count on me always.
I feel like mentioning some more people with whom I have less contact but I have great feelings towards as well: Lecho, Pam and Mestredobcc. Ah, ofc Pyrkosz, dude you also amaze me with your knowledge just like Sqnik. Keep going!
Now I feel like I also need to adress to some more people. They havent directly influenced me but without them nothing would be possible
Jano
You are a weird man, but at least you're funny. I really hoped you could stop ghosting me all of the sudden on discord, but I learned to live with that. Anyway, game experience today is much much better than it was years ago, Padv improved a lot these past years and you're one of the main responsibles for that. Thanks for all the weird-funny conversations, all the attempts to "suicide" my char, and for making such an amazing game.
Raissa
Everyone know we had our differences but I think we're in a good place now. Regardless of anything, I've always recognized your effort to make Padv become what it is today, it's not a coincidence that major improvement of game begins at the same time you become an admin. Most of my complains about you were because I thought you were too attached to your own ideas and I believe you improved a lot on it. I hope you also realize now that all the fights I had with you were because I wanted the game to be better. Nevertheless, thank you for your great effort to make Padv what it is now and what's to become. I still need you to fix the grammar mistake on my award tho
Sting and Sucri
I've never seen such a dedicated staff member as Sting. It doesnt matter what time I send him a msg, 99% of time you answer me in a few minutes. You have this grumpy attitude but I really can see through it and understand how much you enjoy this game, just like me. Its not a surprise to me that you won best staff member. Thanks for all the help, not only for me but for all players that I know you also help.
Sucri, I think we're very much alike in many things and completely different in others. Sometimes your stubbornness gets under my skin but I get thats your way and I'm ok with that. Moreover, I really appreciate your work as CM. You're exactly what the name suggest: a community manager. You're extremely thoughtful about everyone, doesnt matter how retard the person is and I truly admire it, because I could never do what you do (and that's one of the reasons I never wanted to become a tutor). You're the better person.
I feel like I should mention Simpsomp and Eudinho here too, I dont have too much contact with them but they've showed goodwill and kindness when I needed. So thanks guys.
Last but not least, I would like to dedicate this award to every player that help making this game a healthier environment. People who dont disrespect others on respawns, who dont practice abusive prices on market or try to scam others, etc. If you're one of these guys be aware that you're already halfway through to become Best Player, and that you can always reach up to me for help. Cheers to all of you!
tl;dr boy that guy demz is really cocky isnt he
Small teaser from next weeks update:
Ok, now I'm really done. Happy new year to everyone and stay safe!
