Cmdr Nova Posted January 1, 2002 Report Posted January 1, 2002 BC In the New Year; A Tribute (or Commemoration?) to the Community and The New Year (and my 1000th post )Yeah.... Um.. So this is supposed to be a speech of some sort, right? Something to bring in the year with a bang (At least in the Central Time Zone (GMT -6).) Post 1000, at midnight, to ring in the new year. How good can it get? (Or how bad? )Yep. It looks like Im setting myself up for a fall here, since its about 24 min until midnight here, and my hands are too shaky since Ive had too much to eat/drink. (Soda, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, etc.) Now lets get on topic. Ill start with a little personal background of my starts in this community. Yep"When the Newbie Welcome Wagon Was a Newbie."Okay. I started to lurk these forums back in late January. I was searching for a nice space cap ship sim or submarine sim to play, and I found BC. I got the demo of BC3k from one of those custom demo disks that you can order. (Mine was from Happy Puppy. They still probably have it for download. *grin* Yep, that's how I discovered BC, if you're wondering. A little puppy showed me the way.)Anyway, I liked what I saw in the community, and joined in March. Ill skip most of the details, but I was a horribly clueless newbie. Had 2 or more usernames on the boards. Got one of them banned. Dont even remember that/those usernames anymore. *lol*Changed from Mercenary to Police, shaped up, joined Orion Fleet. Helped newbies, and Blades called me Newbie Welcome Wagon. It was just a side thing, but eventually it became an official thing. That, I didnt expect. But this community needed someone like that to help cater to the poor guys, and fate had it that it would be me.Enough of the personal history of me on the community.In this past year, weve had our ups (BCM Demos, BCM in development, BCM getting released, and finally the new community hub being in dev), our downs (the warez incidents, the recent escapades with the future of the community), and our down times. (There were those weeks where it felt that no one was around)Well, multiplayer is coming out this year, so it looks all up. Weve also got our XP releases, as well.Hm I forsee lots of excitement coming up. If multiplayers everything it should be, then one day, we may have those huge fleet battles we always dreamed about in RP.MP is the one thing that Im personally looking forward to next year though. I think with MP, the future of the game will be sealed, and any current fans will be hooked for BCO. Trust me on this one. The XP things are going to be nice, especially since our wishlists are actually coming into fruitition.The community is really gonna rock in a few months. Starstation Centron is under construction, and well-it's simply gonna rock. I'm gonna be one of the news crew, too, so tune in, alright? Yeah, Ive got to hurry up. Im still writing this and theres only 3 min left until new year..... Lets wrap this up.w00t to the New Year--let BC Live on. BC3k 1.0, 2.0, BCM, and beyond. Let BC reign. Weve come far, the series has come at least 1 decade in the making, and the community is going great.Derek knows what he's doing. Had he not, then BC wouldn't exist in this day and age. It would have died back before BCM.The community is great. Centron is on its way, we already have our new forums in place. Let this new year prove we're stronger than the detractors (like the VE fanboys) think. Like (I think, Riga?) said once, Keep the Faith. Let's make this a good year. Keep it chuggin'.Happy New Year.Nova, over and out. (Wow, I got it exactly at midnight (central)!!! Oh and I almost forgot to brag (like everyone else does )--Post 1000 f00z!!! Hah!)(Some editing done to increase the content...... )[ 01-01-2002: Message edited by: Cmdr Nova ]
Commander Blake Posted January 1, 2002 Report Posted January 1, 2002 right on...woo....power to the AE's....and all other things...I think the future of BC will be good, with more and more newbies, some good, some bad, and some ugly, more xp's, and a few challanges we will all have to pull together to get over. I wish people here a happy new, 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months 4 seasons, or year, whatever you wanna call it, hope everyone has a great time, and To SC, most of all, please, please, for the love of Galcom, take a moment from your comp, to have a glass of champagne, and kiss your wife, and let your kids know you still acknowledge their existance. I swear, it'll only take a few seconds. Cya Gamcomers, insurgents, raiders, earthcomers, policers, traders, diplomats, commercials, explorers, and anything else I've missed, of every species, race, religious preference, color, or anything else, to say it more simply bye everybody, or nobody if thats your case.I'll see ya in the next year.
