Thank you, Argonath.

[iMunna]

It was March 2010 when I gave my first attempt at Argonath. Allow the following emoticon to express my emotion when I first clicked on the server:

I felt lucky to have found such a great community like Argonath. The players, administrators, and developers were everything you could wish for within a community. They were helpful and cheerful just like a best friend that I never really had in real life. Within a week I had met unique and uncommon great people that are rare to find in real life. I won't mention any names because each and every single player in this community deserves and is responsible for receiving my credit for providing to me the greatest and loveliest times at Argonath.

Argonath has not just been a gaming community to me, it has been a teacher. Argonath has taught me to always see things in a different positive perspective. Argonath has taught me how to treat officers, criminals, and citizens when its comes to real life situations. Argonath has taught me to be respectful to peoples beliefs and way of life. Argonath has taught me to accept people for who they are, and who they aren't. Every day has been adored and appreciated by myself for it has taught me new ways of having fun with the game, instead of struggling with it.

When it came to the bad times like being abused by cops or getting death matched by new players, I learned total self control of myself. I learned to stop, take a deep breath, and teach the guy to have fun with this game, but respect other players too. When it came time that I felt I couldn't control myself, I left the game, took a break, then came back and had some fun. Sure, I've made multiple mistakes in my past, but I have learned multiple things from them and not making the same mistake twice.

The one day I was invited into Inferno 9 changed my experience at Argonath greatly. I was invited into a group that serves to protect Argonath and respect all of the groups at Argonath. Inferno 9 isn't the only group respecting this idea, all groups at Argonath at some point or or all the time have respected Argonath and cared for the community as much as Inferno 9 has. Though there have been troubles in the past within and outside all groups, they always get resolved quickly.

There are so many great and positive things and ideas to learn and interpret within this community that I could go on and on about them. But there is one negative thing I wanted to point out that has been increasing within the community greatly. The idea of trolling in game and on the community is destroying what we stand for. It not only sets a negative mood for the targets but also for the person who is trolling. I wanted to ask these trolls privately to stop, but I have decided to ask them here. So please, think twice. Is this really what you want this community to become? A big troll pool? Please improve community by improving yourselves. If you have lost faith in the improvement, don't express it by destroying the community even more. There is always room to improve and each and every one of us can work to improve it. How? By logging on every day at Argonath and posting positive and constructive posts every day.

I wanted to conclude this letter of thanks by once again thanking each and every single player at this community for everything they have provided to me during my experience at this community. Please note that this isn't a good bye letter. It is a letter to inform all of us of the positive and negative things within this community and how we can improve them. This letter is to inform all of you that I will be increasing my activity in game and on the forums just to express my gratitude towards everyone for our accomplishments as one community.

We are Argonath, one community, one people. May this community strive to become the greatest of all. I feel sadness for players in other communities and servers who haven't been able to experience Argonath for themselves. I hope to see those people join and experience what we experience every day. And that experience is, Argonath.

Very Nice Speech 

[Boozman]

Very well said iMunna. You may not be the oldest player in this community, but you are one of the most loyal and dedicated players out there. You are more dedicated then most "Veterans" of Argonath, and quite frankly you actually care to revive this community. You have helped me appreciate this community a lot more since I met you and you have been a great friend as well. I'm glad that someone actually notices these points and spoke them out loud. We as a community need to work together to fix our problems so we can remain a community.

Major respect for you iMunna.

This is an sure sign of being an admin/good player. Just noting that down.

We old players should start becoming more active in the field of helping players.. But we also need to fix some thing within sa:mp for it to be truly enjoyable.
What I would like to see an direct change in is the attidude of some players. Especially being an regular and being an asshole is something I would have banned you for on mta:vc back in the days, trust me on that. No not tempban, it's called permban.

I had great expectations of regulars and experienced players in mta:vc, as much as they expected me to uphold the right and be kind. In mta:vc we could tempban player for doing stuff/breaking rules, whereas an new player could get away with an warn first. Why? Because we had stricter punishment for regulars because we expected them to follow the server rules.

Old Mta:vc players is not sitting and looking past the flaming/problems in the community, but the community must be ready to help us too.
Once again iMunna, that speech is something that everyone should start thinking about. Next time an cop does something not according to your wishes, ask yourself before you report. Did the cop really abuse or did I break an RP law (like the common: speeding)?
Also, moaning in mainchat is never cool. Keep it to an minium.

When people can present thier opinions in an mature manner, then they will have respect from me, and you iMunna, got my respect.

Some would say that this topic is an "OMFG asskissing topic", but honestly, it's nice to see that players are growing up and are starting to understand and discuss in an more mature manner.

Great topic iMunna.

[TheRock]

Well said buddy.

[WaKa]

So true man. iMunna is one of my favorite players i dont see him online much but i have seen him a few times and he is probly on my top 10 best all-around players on Argonath.

[Zaila]

Well said, both iMunna and Gird3r!

Even tho i haven't played MTA:VC since when Argonath started, i've been playing there for close a year now, and i love it. MTA:VC is so different when comparing to SA:MP, much more calm, the players focus on having fun and really having fun. Like Grzesiek inviting everyone to a cocktail party and the reactions from the people that dont know what it means is more hilarious then anything i've seen here on Argonath. We are sometimes using the desync which can be there to have fun, and sometimes the glitches to explore VC (Underwater Helicopter tour is taking off in 5 minutes!).

I hope people will think about both what iMunna and Gird3er wrote (but to say the truth, i dont think that many will do it) and maybe we can start work togheter to bring the right atmosphere back.

[TheRock]

Completely agreed Zaila, If iMunna worked with Gird3r, I have faith on them, and they can succeed it .

Powerful men both of them!

[Frank_Hawk]

Well articulated Munna, I'm sure many others share the same passion as you for Argonath.

Argonath is home to an diverse culture spanning over 60 countries with different traditions and beliefs. We can expect carnage through debate but always look to facilitate and accomodate conversation where relevant. I hope you keep up the great work and continue to instill good values into others alongside others in our community. 

[Leon.]

That's my fucking boy/kid/man/old-ass man, iMunna!

When I first met you, you didn't even act like a new player. I remember being asked in Gvardia CB, "Who is that iMunna guy?" I said, "I don't know, but he's one cool mother fucker." I thought you were someone I knew who had /changename'd.

You've got the join-date of a new-ish guy, but you've got the mind and heart of a veteran.

[Void]

Join hands, we can do something to help Argonath.
There should be more people with the same cause.Those kind of people astonish me. 

[EminemRulez]

Wise words hero...

[Drillbit taylor]

Well said, my friend. That few days I spent with you, were some of the greatest days of my life in Argonath! We need more players like you, who one can enjoy talking to and have a great experience with!

[Norrage]

Well said! :hurray:
