Hi there. I was going through some of my best friend's profiles, and I went through their postings; and I literally watched some of my bestest of friends grow up, and that was really humbling. The fact that part of my entire experience with some of these people relies on the fact I met them in some org, some gunfight, some aftertalk of a gunfight, or some random base, is just so incredibly amazing. I have met people from Sweden, Alaska, Texas (my home state!) and even met a nice guy that happened to have cerebral palsy from the UK. It is so important that some of these people ever talked to me, because I learned some very fine emotions playing this server: Betrayal, Distrust, Rage, but also quite enthusiastic things like True Victory, Good Sportsmanship, and the importance of working hard.
Going through some of the videos I have made on this server, I went from being almost always on police or mayor, to being one of the biggest shooters in the server, and I find that amazing. I have a video from nearly every day, where I see people that are unfortunately now permanently banned (big rip to the homie Franklin, I still love you <3) fragging out with me, and I still remember the adrenaline rush I would get from those days, bear in mind I wasn't rich and didn't have too many guns. I went on @Max Veira 's profile, checked his postings, and I saw some of the most amazing memories that I completely forgot about on this server. Basing in Penthouse with 10-15 people, having people farming on the front lawn, getting raided by cops and making a refund request because of shitty evidence (that was quite scummy to be fair, always making refund requests), but nonetheless, all of it kept a special part of me attached to this server. Regardless of whatever happens to me in the future, I just don't think I could ever leave this server, as stupid as that sounds. I just can't find anything better than being able to log on, and have the option between stopping crime, creating crime, fueling crime, making guns, or raiding. That is just so amazing how, for any mood you may be in, there is a job you could be doing to completely sate that need.
I created this thread for any potentially gone users, or users who knew me/my rivals in the old Paralake. Anyone who has videos of 1%, The Sixth, 2CC (if anyone remembers that lmao), or the Tunnel Snakes, I would truly appreciate you posting videos here that represent the impact they had made on the server.
I know I have overstated this a couple of times, but I really need to make this clear. The ability to go onto the internet and meet someone that you could be sharing thousands of hours with, is literally priceless. I was co-owner of an org called 2CC (2nd Chance Crew) that was meant to help "John Does" (newer players) start their journey through Monolith, not that I was much of a refined player myself. We came into contact with the Tunnel Snakes, and we had one major thing in common: We permanently disliked the Sixth. So, we made an allyship. The first time I met anyone basing with them, I might Franz Baeur, and Max Veira (Max Fuller at the time.) It seemed simple at the time, but we were about to become the most Iconic duo on the entire server for another year to come.
My final comment for today: Please don't underestimate the impact that you have on people in this game, it is truly extraordinary what kind of things I have done and what kind of people I have met on this server. I have met people who live 15 minutes away from me, and I have met people who are literally on the other side of the world. That connection is special, and it needs to be cherished if possible. The next time you see someone on the server having a hard time, try to give them a hand if you can. We need more dedicated newer players in this community, like the Paralake times.
God bless and safe travels, John Williams.
