This is awesome. Nothings gets you back into the Threshold mood like awesome events. The double xp weekend three weeks ago got me back to playing, and i've played more in the last three weeks than I did in the two years before that. Good to see even more stuff is coming along to keep things exciting (not that tye game itself isn't exciting enough). Happy 18th, here's to 18 more.

Hey Threshold.... I just met you ... and this is crazy. But now you're legal. So have my babies.
There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here; or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that left. I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So go ahead and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

Congrats to the winners! I wish I could have participated more, but due to a combination of scheduling issues (I know, I know, lame excuse for someone who's online 99% of the time, but it's true) and a couple of the early events' participants leaving a bad taste in my mouth, I was only there for a couple of them. Well done Lindelrom; I'm guessing that means points were awarded for *running* events as well as for winning them - which is absolutely right, if that's indeed what happened. Lots more work to run than to play. Originally Posted by Rileska

Congrats winners! That's awesome! I'm actually super pleased with where I ended up in the chart when I had such limited time to play.
Good stuff! And thanks to the STEA for making this all happen!There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here; or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't.
