So much for the LAND OF THE FREE!!!!!! At least we can still post here😀

The past year and a half have been tough on so many levels to so many XI Members, their Families, neighbors, and Society in general for too many reasons to list. We have seen the lost of 5 XI Clan/Family members and we have several fighting health issues that are very serious and have changed their lives in ways they never expected but they are XI and strong people who will win their battles, I have faith in that fact. I was reminded to day after reading about another surprising loss that we have been together many of us over 15 years and we are all getting older even if our mind says "Phuckitman your crazy as fuck smoke another bowl" it is a fact. Having said that I hope we all take a moment during each Day, Game, Time with Family, Loved Ones, Interaction with others in game and just be glad we get to enjoy Life. We don't walk in others shoes and should not be their judge rather we should support them and try to find empathy for their journey, joy hardship, loss, and most importantly their passing. My point is there is no cost to take a moment to say something positive or supporting to another human being let alone someone you care about and we never know when it might be the last time and things left unsaid leave the biggest wounds that can't be healed. Wishing even your worst enemy is about you and who you are not as much about them and wishing your friends/family good health and good fortune is the same thing but it can make a huge difference to the one hearing it and you may never know just how much. Be Kind to each other, it could become more contagious than the Delta variant of Covid-19. RIP CORPSE2 and Miss the rest of those who can't kiss those they Loved everyday.

A side note on Chris, He has taken time to give some pointers and direction and guidance to my son who is studying music business . Great person in and out of game!

Delta force 2 but with updated graphics. Best game ever.

I haven't been around much but remember Dadda well and know he will be missed.  My condolence to his family, I'm very sorry for your loss. 

I love those Greys....... great birds!   Hope she keeps better care (and track) of it this time.    Bummer you couldn't keep it Chile but yea you did the right thing 

My newest guitar cover, not a flashy hard tune, just a good beat and a great riff! Thats what I love about these boys, they make easy sound good LOL
 
 

Hide the women and children.

They are bad ass, but definitely do not like me getting close! LoL

Thanks !!  

Happy Birthday @Belle  Kissy Kissy lol

Happy Birthday and have a great day
 

happy b day belle

Congrats!

Thank you everyone for the kind words, they mean so much to me.
I started playing COD about 9 years ago.  Angus has played first person shooter games as long as we have had computers.  I always listened to him in the other room and thought he was crazy.  One day my son convinced me to try it.  I did not make one single kill.  I got off the computer and I cried.  Not because I got killed, but because I couldn't figure it out, and I come from a very competitive family..... But I finally got the hang of it.  We were in a small clan and played nightly, but one day I found XI Freezetag and I knew that was where I was supposed to be so I dropped my tags and played here full time.
This coming May I will have been a member here at XI for 7 years.  Five of those years as an admin.  It has been my great privilege to serve this great clan in that capacity.  I hope that I have helped make some positive changes to the clan and to our servers during my tenure here.
I have chosen to give up the head admin tags because I want to go back to what brought me here in the first place.  I want to be able to jump in game and play and have fun with all the wonderful friends I have made here and not continue to worry about things when I power down for the evening.
I love each and every one of you, some more than others lol.  You are all special to me in your own ways.  @roxy  I could not have done this for so long without you my dear. Oh and you too @BUDMAN and @dadda2.  You all have been my support group and I hope I was yours as well. 
Now let's game and have fun!!!

Dear GG... I told you privately already but I guess I will allow myself to create a little of drama here with your departure from the Adm team ? Well I would like to start telling you how much I appreciate having you as head admin mate, we learned a lot from each other and above all, we learned to work together with our differences (although they were not so many I think we both thought similar). I remember we started as Head Admins with the main goal to eliminate the complaints, personal attacks and bad moments that were lived and expressed in the middle of the game- server and even that cost us a lot (new nicknames not really nice, a lot of headaches and lose some friends)  I think we achieved it. Now in the server, we can hear more laugh and fights and became more pleasant and much more fun than at that time. So thanks to my dear GG for helping me and helping the admin team achieve that great goal take us time but we did it girl and so many others little a big issues we deal with it. I can write pages here but well I will just tell you THX.
I know that complaints continue on the website, but well that's the way people like to express and finally how they decide to live their lives, and that's something we can not tell them what to do to be more in peace. I would have liked that they would have been used the same beautiful words and thoughts that everyone wrote to you here for your hard work and effort - which you really deserved- in those moments when they created rage post or pm but I still believe that is possible someday. It would be very interesting if some had this role for only 5 minutes.
Anyway, I believe also that I had an excellent partner for this job, I have won a friend in the process, I am not only very grateful for everything shared with you but also for everything you have left for this clan with example and dedication. Angus made a better description than me and I totally shared it  so on that one +1. I will miss you a lot @Gatorgirl XOXO I will shoot you soon girl and I talk to you later. 
 

Since no one else will I guess I do it.. I just wanted to thank my wife and friend and GG for five years of adm duty, 2 adm and 3 head adm.. Some of you have no idea what really is involved in being a adm or mod, senior adm for this server. I have seen first hand for a long time..GG came into gaming long after I did, But took it up quick and enjoyed it very much. She is a very smart and level headed woman and some one who took her roll very seriously and enjoyed it ...She is the Brains in our relationship.. I'm the ...   For no reason other then time , it was time to step down.. Other then @Ripper calling on vaca at 730 whining about server needing restarting  that made her choice to step down... lol no seriously, it was just time...  So i just wanted to thank her for all her hours and time for us and tell her I appreciate her and love her... Good Job GG!

Sad news, but as Angus stated being an Admin and a great one at that is very time consuming and I would think stressful.
A great admin (we have many) wears many coats, mother, father, religious leaders, mental health worker, and a referee. How tiring it must be to take care of all the XI Family and our many quests.
I've said it before, we who drop in at our leisure to play a few minutes or hours have at times forgotten, or not realized or appreciated the the endless hours of work it takes to run this successful gaming community. 
So to Gator Girl, Rugger, all the admin team, map makers, and moderators and anyone I’ve missed working behind the scenes. We the XI family thank you all.
