I'd been playing COD4 since 2008 and tried BF but didn't like it. I used to play on the GBR servers (crossfire, regiment) and I see a few ex-GBR guys here in XI (salute). GBR was run by a couple of guys royboy and SgtRude. I worked away from home and played for hours every night but not weekends (that was family time). We'd be in xfire chatting away all night. They were good times and I rose to be the most senior server admin (JAG). Then the clan collapsed as the owners were pocketing the server donations. A few guys reformed as TSS (the sole survivors) but it was short lived.
I looked around for another clan and came across XI and joined the party. So many names have disappeared but so many have taken their place.
22 Sept 2014. That was they day a lady admin (Gator/Pink/Giggles - one of those 3 - I've tried to erase the memory) called me, a shy young man, into a private room. Badda boom, badda bing. What happened there will remain private but I've never been the same since, and carry a permanent XI branding.
