Welcome back. Just to clue you in about the forums, the current bitch fight is between Kumquat, K10 and Elzam. Kummy of coarse has the biggest antlers, he will probably get to "be on top".

Oh, I wouldn't say welcome back, I really was just curious to see how things have developed

.
If I remember correctly though, wasn't Kumquat in every bitch fight?
Also, just an odd suggestion, and it probably will not be a good one as I've not been in touch with the player base for years now, have you guys considered working out a way to have a spectator in game casting/streaming squad battles? Upload em to you tube, make a bit of a fuss to see if you can get other people interested in the game? I think advertising Alleg as a bit of a free, community driven e-sport might just get some attention.

His age being similar to mine, Black Eagle probably had the same cycle I went through - I was a real stuckup as a newbie too and the community beat my character into the right shape - real hard. (looney tendencies still linger on)
... Oh look, we're both birds! Sqwox!
EDIT: I've uploaded a few vids of Alleg gameplay to Youtube (only 2 so far though, will play more to record more!) for 'advertising purposes' as well.
The latest one:

My usual everyday occurence. Every game of Alleg is an arcade to me.

This one was uploaded, requested by cashto in the rants forum.
Further EDIT: Youtube is seriously in need of more Alleg gameplay vids imo.

I'm not sure if was just stuck up or just terrible at interpreting people, my social skills were SHOCKINGLY bad through high school and are only really improving now. Still talkative, but I think I came across as extremely annoying in my youth.
Yes, I'm a bird! Always liked birds of prey, took Black Eagle from RA2/YR. It's been refined since then to AuroraeEagle (Translates to Eagle of the Lights or some nonsense then, the Aurorae is really only there to make it unique.) If I was to make a completely new name it'd be based on my new found fascination with Cephalopods, through a combination of PZ Meyer's blog and doing a semester of Zoology at University (Doing a B.Sc, majoring in Chemistry and either Genetics or Biochemistry).

Well I like Peregrine Falcons for them being the fastest creatures on Earth, with normal flight speeds of at least 95km/h (avg bird speeds are 60) and terminal velocities of over 300km/h (no kidding)
Cheetahs are overrated.
QUOTE (Wikipedia)In 2005, Ken Franklin recorded a falcon stooping at a top speed of 389 km/h (242 mph)[/quote]

Peregrine falcons are insane and really awesome, infact just birds in generally are really fascinating. I strongly enjoyed the section on them in my course.
And yeah, generally any animal that has received popularity for doing something isn't the best at it, Chameleon camouflage for example pales in comparison to Cephalopods,

sorry for the offtopicness, I just love zoology

I think you maybe too hard on yourself Eagle. Nice to see life is treating you well, you were a good kid and sound like a nice young adult too.
The community is the same as always, for those of you who havent realised the community size influx was after eagle left so we are roughly similar in size to when he left.
We have a marketing team and try but as usual noone agrees on @#(!
If your back for a while come ooover to SF and hit us up.

Spawn!!! Nice to see you again!
Well, I tried my best back then but I guess I took what some of the grizzled veterans said to heart, and I did have my annoying moments

.
Oh! I missed an influx!?! How big did it get? Sad I missed it!
Well again, I really recommend broadcasting some games on JTV/Twitch TV and maybe seeing if you can get some viewers interested? Maybe I just play SC2 too much but even if you don't attract new people it'd be good for some of the current players to see a high level game from a spectators perspective.
I'm not sure if I'm coming back as such, I mean, I'm pretty focused on Uni, I might have a game here and there though
