10 years… what can I say.
When I first started playing VC:MP, I wasn't this fluent in English. I was a complete dickhead, and raged like an idiot.
I was around 12 years old when I first played VC:MP. It took a few years before I started having interest in clans, and ArS was probably the first thing online I felt welcome in. It felt like a family. It was the first clan who saw potential in me.
Then I left... I can't exactly remember why, but studies and exams were surely related (My parents took away my laptop when I was suppose to study for exams, which I know was the right thing to do when I look back at it).
Then I came back and VU was born. It was like I was reunited with my beloved family.
Scripting and making servers with Knucis was most of what I did back then. Played a lot on XE, played a lot on GameSparks RPG, played a lot on The Ultimate Stunting Server (Or GameSparks stunting server, don’t remember which one came first), and later on SvM.
I don’t quite remember when I became bored of the game and didn’t play that much any more, but to this day I love the community (With their ups and down) and I enjoy making fun stuff for it in my spare time. Keeping a forum up and running which, I can say with complete confidence, is the corner stone of the VC:MP community is exciting and feels good. People from all kinds of clans, playing on a lot of different servers, coming from a lot of different countries and continents all come to our forum to hang around. I’m proud of that. I’m proud our clan has grown to the important role it has today.
VU has shaped me. Taught me to enjoy the game, even when you’re being pwned. Be kind to people, even if they’re not. Respect people, so they will respect you back. Welcome people into the community, and clan. Help people when they need help. Be there for people when they need someone to talk to or ask for an opinion.
Overall, VU has taught me to be a good person. Something I believe I have become in real life, and be forever grateful of.
Viva la VU!
