Wow!! Static, excellent post! That one really touched me. Thanks for pointing it out ratso.
Funny that you mentioned everyone saying "You rock" and "you're awesome" at the end of each battle. Because before I met CCG (which was pretty early in my toons life), everyone usually remained quiet as we waited for each toon stats to come up. It's only since doing CCG runs, everyone has taken on this habit of praising everybody for their contribution to wining the battle. Which I though was really cool!
It has now become a standard for everyone to do that. Even when you didn't play so well. lol
Really glad to have read your story. Very encouraging.
