Hello Re4pers ! May you always have good games !
Well, after I got vanished from Auraxis and our nice company, about 6-7 real-life-years ago (or it was a bit longer/shorter?), I AM BACK !
(Maybe for a while :-) )
I don't need a re-invite since I am still in the outfit in-game and in-forum, but I heard (and agree) that this thread is the most suitable for my post :-) . As I state at the end of the post, It's up to you Council/Leaders of the Re4pers, if you like to reevaluate my membership anew :-)
Role Play Immersion story :
All these years, I was in a med-pen. You know. The bottle-like ones, filled with that greenish healing liquid. The tall round ones, that the crazy doctors of NC headquarters bath you into when you get seriously injured on the field, to maniacally test all their rejuvenating experimental acids on you, till you get so fed-up with desperation, that you decide that waking-up and coming back from the dead is the preferred alternative.
And yes. It was MY fault that I was in a comma and away from the Re4pers for all those years: ... I stupidly decided to try flying the Reaver-air-fighter again, and more importantly, decided to engage a Vanu Scythe in a 1-on-1 dogfight... wile I was using a Joystick instead of keybord+mouse controller...
And, as some old-ones of you might recall, regardless how much I like flying, after 640 hrs of gameplay I still am the worst pilot on Auraxis and all its moons... So, regardless the hard-earned, expensive, maxed-out gear of my reaver, it took only a few seconds for me to got crushed-down in pieces.
(Many pieces... Small ones them all... A finger here. An ear there. A testicular a few yards away... So I guess the 7-years treatment was quite a record-time of a success after all.)
But, still a stubborn NC soldier, I am not giving up, and I am back on Auraxis for another try! \m/
... And I found out that MANY MANY things have changed and evolve ! ... In game, and in the Re4pers. :-)
And even if the changes were not enough of an obstacle, I realize that this frucking doctor Smith of mine, probably messed up with the bio-glue that he used for my memory-brain-pieces reassembly: Skill-wise, I am back on level-1 soldier ability! ...I found myself fumbling back on the settings screen, trying to recall how the hell an engineer as myself will bring up the tool to repair my Re4per friend MAX unit... So, my guess is that it might take me months to recall the muscle-memory worthy of a Re4per soldier. And it is possible that another game-love (stop nagging at me Baldur's Gate 3!) might lure me to abandon Auraxis once again long before that training period is complete.
In addition, real-life obligations don't look like allowing for a proper Planetside-team involvement... Kids growing bigger meant that free-time grow shorter, and now it is mostly late-night gamming for me, with prediction for just a minor contribution to the Re4pers outfit events.
Considering the above (and the fact that I am driving you crazy with my long chatterbox post and non-stop-mumbling while on TeamSpeak squad/platoon-leading, if I ever come-back to it), I will understand you people if you decide that my Planetside Fighting Skills are an embarrassment for the 2023 Re4pers standards. (Standards the new-for-me daily outfit-message is stating: being active in teamspeak, on the forum, on squads etc.)
Thus, I will not keep any hard feelings if you decide that I should be kicked-out of the Re4pers outfit till I decide to re-apply and be re-evaluated as a newcomer. Keeping in the outfit an inactive account is completely different than having a messed-up-soldier crappy-gamming while wearing the Re4pers outfit banner, actively being an embarrassing representative of the Re4pers on Auraxis. :-) I will be heartbroken, crying out in tears for many long nights if I have to get out of the Re4pers, but I will still get friendly vibes with you, the leaders of our outfit. :-)
(God, I am an old-man... It feels like yesterday the time we had one beloved founder/leader, struggling to do all the jobs by himself :-) ... Thank you guys for keeping the Re4pers alive by stepping up and taking-on the workload and responsibility of leading a Planeside outfit : :-) )
In any case, this post is for me to say to you all: Hi ! I AM BACK !
Have a good game Re4pers ! :-)
PS. Dr. Smith was an expensive company... Thus, for a while I will have no Daybreak Cash to get the "black matrix" cammo for my armor and weapons... I will be in standard NC blues, and I hope this will not be a problem if we do any Re4pers fun-raid together. :-)
