I ask all to please read.
So it has been a long ride. I official signed up to RoosterTeeth's site on 6/19/08 for Grifball (mind you I was playing in the league before I signed up). I was a huge fan of Red vs. Blue, but never really got on many websites due to always being so busy (gaming). But Grifball brought me on, and the league was just so much fun.

So many memories have been made. Green Army's first game ever was against Goose and Kal. Now life-long friends who have helped me through so, so much. When I started posting in the forums, I didnt know what a troll was. I tried to respond to everything logically, yet it was usually emotionally. I got trolled hard.

I decided I loved Grifball so much, I wanted to do more for it. At this time, PxR and MooCow took over as Commish, and I wanted to start interviewing players to just get an "ESPN" feel to Grifball. When Dragon of Exile saw what I was posting in the forums, he reccomended to Puptastrophe that I should be invited GrifballHUB, a not yet launched site to support Grifball. I joined on the site, jumped the gun on announcing the re-launch of it, and eventually got Goose to join.

Between Green Army and GrifballHUB, I had a virtual family I would never trade for anything. I interviewed MooCow tirelessly, begged Dragon of Exile to be on "Dragon and Friends" the orginal GrifballHUB podcast, and practiced Grifball non-stop. It was the Golden Age of Grifball, 300+ teams, rivalries, people wanting to win, no idea what host was. It was great.

I've watched Grifball change so much, I myself have changed. I went from just a player, to Captain of my team, to writer on GrifballHUB, to Staff on GrifballHUB to creating the HUBcast, to Admin of AGLA, to Commissioner of the AGLA, to forum mod on RoosterTeeth. I have had the opportunity to be on panels in front of hundreds of people to talk about Grifball.

Had it not been for GrifballHUB, I would have never gone to PAX, met people from Bungie or 343, met some HaloWayPoint mods, got to meet my Grifball friends. I would have missed out on so many amazing things. I have elected to go into the gaming industry, and thanks to how fortunate I have been, I have people I can turn to that are in the industry for support or advice.

Its overwhelming to think what Grifball has done for me on so many different levels. The family I have, the friends I have made, the opportunities that are presented to me now, all because of a game inside a game created by RoosterTeeth.

This is my thank you to all that have helped me, believed in me, cheered me on or said a nice thing to me. You all give me strength and have supported me in ways you do not even know. I realize I have been more distant from grifball in the recent months, but my love and passion is still there.

I'll leave you with this, it is amazing what a community can do. I am always amazed by the GrifballHUB community, and how they pull together and suprise me on nearly a daily basis. Plan to see me a little more here and there to repay the love all the Grifball fans have shared with me.

Here's to another four years of Grifball, <4
