Fav? Why...they've all been very special to me!
I've been running with the CCG for quite some time now, and have done VP exclusively with this amazing group since June 2004. When I first ran with this group, I remember being ridiculed by old friends for turning into a whimp and abandoning the VP in GP (general public, i.e. random runs) for a more serene setting. Did I care? Of course I did! Nobody likes to be challenged with adjectives. However, what I found here at the CCG allowed me to put that in perspective and move on with my transition with my TT life in the "CCG" lane! I could not have wished for a better setting to revive my interest in the game.
I used to be one of those toons running around sending toons back to the playground with a green face if they didn't comply with MY way when doing factory runs. The spirit of the CCG taught me to play "nice" with the other "kids" and to have fun sharing the experience together as a "family".
With the introduction of the CFO, I pretty much waited until all the hoopla died down from the release of CFO to open before I even began to attempt CFO on open. As I was a dedicated member of the TT test server, I was quite familiar with the CFO. I could have joined in and maxxed my CB suit like so many others did in the initial 2 weeks, but I remember what that turned my friends into when the CFO was being tested. The greed and snobbish behavior of my "friends" on test totally turned me OFF to CFO.
The CCG came to the rescue again when there was talk of CCG CFO's, you couldn't imagine the smile it put on my face! With the exception of a few CFO's with friends, all my CFO's have been with the CCG. I couldn't imagine doing CFO's with the GP, there is just NO WAY I could put up with the suit snobbery and shuffle games.
I may not have many of you on my friends list, in fact, I have very few. However, you should all know that if you are on an elevator with one of my toons, I will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING possible to help the team win. That includes using TOW phrases, SOS cards, leading or following, stunning the VP, Craning or Stomping, and my favorite as of late.... thwarting griefers' attempts to sabatoge our runs! This is my way of giving back to the membership for all the rewarding times the CCG has given to me.
We are one "big family" and somehow, someway, hopefully we will pull through this crisis and continue to prosper.
