Argonath RPG: 6 years a world of our own

And I was referring to GTA:IV and not your post about Liberty City.  :roll:

Belated Happy Birthday, Argonath! Since I share the same birthday with Argonath, I'll post a short message as well.

Argonath RPG started out with the aim to provide a place where players can foster fun and friendship among each other. In the past six years, I can say that it has not only reached/surpassed that goal, but I am sure it has also helped certain individuals become better people IRL. One such individual would be myself.

I first entered Argonath at the age of 14, just before I entered High School. I've experienced parts of the stereotypical new-player-cycle; getting banned for using mods, stealing suspects for the sake of money, driving cars into gas stations, et cetera. Yet after each year, I have found myself operating under a better set of values.

Now, as a college student of my country's premiere State University, I can look back on some of the more fonder memories I've had, both good and bad. Argonath has been a second home for me whenever I wanted to blow off some steam from RL pressures, or when I just wanted to have some good old-fashioned fun.

It is not only from the good memories I have learned, but even from the not-so-happy ones as well. From getting Jingle banned along with myself (back in MTA:VC 2008), I learned to take responsibility for others. From FBI SA:MP, I have learned how good careers may come to a bad end. From unban requests, I have learned how some people can act like total motherfackers against this community, only to come crawling back afterwards.

One point in particular I must credit are the numerous arguments in SA:MP Ideas board... those arguments and clashing posts have helped me process ideas better, something which I can always look back on now that I am a member of one of the region's most prestigious Debate Varsity societies, even participating in a regional debate championship last weekend (which is why I posted only now). Whereas I started out arguing to demonize a certain idea, now I have learned to argue for argument's sake.

There are many people I would like to thank, but since this post is long enough as it is, I would mention the person on top of that list; Gandalf. For solving so many problems with a knowledge that many others lack, for remaining calm when everyone was panicking, for saving my ass and giving me chances when I deviated from the right path, and most importantly, being one of the vital pillars that holds this community together. Thank you.

Here's to the future of Argonath. :drunk:

You gotta get used to the New York-style feel to appreciate their sexiness!

Happy late birthday. A world of it's own..

[Dolfagr]

I for once can only hope that the creators of this beloved world and community with the players will continue the project for years and years to come, and will still provide the entertainment and enjoyment, as it was on day one when we joined.
