Welcome to the Sniper Game's very first birthday party!
Boy has this past year been crazy. First the game thrived in the gcd. Then real life stuff got the game put on hold. The game was almost ended a few times. The thread turned spammy with no game running. The gcd kicked us out. Zae, who always said "Guilds = DEATH" had to move us to a guild. We lost so many people with that big move ;_; And now, after moving once, we're moving yet again to try out a new guild for many various reasons.
Not only has the community moves affected the guild, but the members have had great impact too. Drama breaking out everyday. People flaming and hating each other. Many, Many, Many, "I QUITS mad " The mule drama from game 4. The V.C drama from the guild. The "cheating" drama. All the ignore listing (@_@ So much ignore listing), the mean comments said every time certain people are in a thread together, the hating of the newbs. SO MUCH DRAMA.
With all the moves, the problems, the drama, and the hate you think we would be dead long ago.
But yet if you look back you see so much goodness in this game. All the friendships (although half of us claim to hate half of us, you know we all really love each other). All the memories. The pansies, the rps, the sneaky under handedness we've all done, the updates, the sheeping, the parties, Psycho Mintz, April Fool's Day, Snipecast, Audio Updates, Aine Pie, SUSPICOUS! Or is it?. The people. Every single person to play the game has most likely touched someone else ( mad NOT inappropriately) You may think "I was just here for one game, who cares about me?" But there are alot of people who only came to the game once or twice that ARE remembered and ARE missed. And then there is just everyday talking that there is to remember and love. Talking about the "outside GCD", planning quest threads with friends, talking about irl.
This game has had SO many hard times over the past year. There have been SO many times when I thought it was all over. Too many to count. And yet...I still believe the greatness of our game outweighs the bad.
To me, its a miracle. What other ragtag group of people could get together and make something like this last a year with all the problems and not give up? Not many, I dont think. So lets all go out there, celebrate this wonderful miracle, and say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GCDSG!!!!!
