> But come to these forums, and the mind becomes poisoned. Smuggers, FTA, Diku, all these 'elite' groups who claim to know CF better than anyone. We're really not that bad. Actually, the reason our little group formed was just to survive DIKU. One they calmed down, we went our seperate ways. You see, we played CF to escape the drudgery, narrowmindedness, and uncreativity that is enlisted military life. We LOVED RPing, and most of us have had titles, tattoos, leadership positions ect., and sucked at gang-banging becuase we'd always feel bad. We knew what it's like to be on the receiving end of a DIKU summons, so we never did it. Just a little insight. As for what you've said, you're right but it's like pandoras box now. People who play in a vaccume get stomped by the clanners, IRCers, and others, unfortunatly. My advice? Quit. I haven't CFed in 6 months now and Real Life is pretty good, especially being in college now. A game with green text really isn't worth the anguish, time, and politics it requires.
