Ha, to round all of the shit up.

Regarding E+, the forum and the game: 2007 came at me, making me realize, i like to play E+ less and less, much like people making this community made me realize i like to post on the forums less and less. We finally got something moving in the 1.04 case, but looks like it will not be released before 2008.

For this year, I'd have to say E+ has been going slowly, but steadily, downhill. Some nice clans died, including DEVA, WASP (well, not died entirely, more like had a seizure and organ transplant), Ninja, NTG, ED... more clans falling into the abyss of inactivity, with some of them seemingly dead (like SWE).

There was also a good dose of hilarity and absurd around here, like Rena leaving the rank mod job not once, but twice, Shady becoming one of the trolls he used to so cheerfully flame, Dak-a-riN assuming the role of E+'s prime anarchist slash village idiot, DeeX coming back and disappearing again..

And, the most hilarious of all, me utterly failing at making this place tidier. Not like it's really possible, anyway, but looking back, i was a moron for even trying. Wasted efforts hurt the most, especially if you get assholes throwing shit your way all the time through it. Fuck you very much, guys (the assholes, not everyone in general <3 or at least not hate the rest).

So what is the year 2007 in E+ for me? Except for joining 2!S, which was the smartest thing I've ever done around here (except for giving playing E+ a rest), it was a roll through burning oil while being wrapped in tin foil and having arms and legs cut off. It's this mod dying, and more importantly, the communal values dying faster than it. Maybe i simply got disillusioned as opposed to the year 2006 when i still actively played this game, but i really feel that year 2007 is under the sign of ego-tripping, and putting personal interest ahead of community's interest.

On a less depressing note, it's been inspiring to see people working their asses off for the betterment of the whole, people like Foksie who organized tourney after tourney, the #e+pickup team which organized the best thing that ever happened here (of course, it died, what a surprise), Extreme, Faith and the rest who pulled off the leagues and whatnot.

2007 on a personal level was not bad. I will not go into any details in public, but, aside from summer, which was horrifyingly disappointing, i count this year as a good one. 2007 was also a good year music wise, truckloads of great albums, demos and ep's came my way, and almost none of them were bad.

Politics - PO won the elections in Poland! And there was a big frequency to the poll, too. PiS being left rotting in the gutter makes me do the monkey dance. Now, finally, we can re-build our relationship with Germany and Russia. I hope the anti-missile shield project will get canned, too.

Guess that's all.

2007 on a personal level for me
My neice Claire had an ectopic pregnancy and lost the baby.
My Aunt Irene collapsed at her home was found the next day and died after 2 weeks in hospital.
My dog Pebbles became sick, we eventually discovered she had cancer of the spleen and liver, we had to euthanise her at home.
My Aunt Sadie at the age of 81 crashed her car, she subsequently suffered a pulmonary embolism which caused a heart attack, we thought she was going to die. She came home on xmas eve.
My Uncle Joe had to have an operation on his back.
My mum is sick at the moment

So as you can see 2007 kinda sucks for me and my family
I dont see why 2008 should be any differant just an 8 on the end instead of a 7
Sorry if I bored anyone
Regards

Aw, that's sooo sad - I hope it gets better through 2008 and remember to be an optimist!

2007 hasn't been that bad in my point of view. Both in real life and the e+ "life", though I have to say it's sad to see some clans die and players leave (I hope Necro and Torz will come back soon). A new config has been born and that was m0ve. I like it very much, maybe even more than plus and I hope m0ve will be used much in rankings, but to be honest, I don't think so. At least I'll try to make somebody in OSC to join me (And I'm pretty sure DRT wants to play a game). 2!S freeze isn't as active as it used to be when I was a noob. I remember the first time I got there, everybody was so friendly and it was always full, now it seems to slowly die. I've got the chance to say my honest opinion about some players and it feels good to finally have said it, but I've begun to tolerate Skull more and more as I don't see much of his stupid side anymore.
I began to play defrag in this year too and my strafing has become much better (I can now do the first nightmare-strafe on xcm_tricks2 - Before, I couldn't even do the first one in the beginner-strafe). I haven't played defrag since a month or two 'cause something has happened with it. I think I have to reinstall it, but I've never come that far.

I've done well with the grades on school in my opinion, though I must admit I didn't do much of the homework, but the teachers didn't seem to discover it either so I doubt it affected my grades. The musical part has also been pretty good. Loads of good CD's was released, like Timbaland's "Shock Value" (which is my favourite of all-time).
