I joined a long time ago during the warlight days, then quit because it was too much of a time suck. Then rejoined, then quit again.
I joined or more I joined again, got my self hooked on idle. It was there for me when I had to drive the old man to his cancer treatments And the following year July/August when my only local friend died way too young and last October when the old man decided to take another trip because of the heart failure and after with dealing with probate and other stuff. Hmmm distraction when I needed it most.
If I didn't take that special needs advice to ultra ascend, who knows how well I would have dealt with it.

I went from being clanless for quite a while to joining Corp, to joining TSFH, and then when TSFH crumbled, I stumbled into project Yolo which was aiming to execute a surprise shock and awe mission to snatch CW 1st place from Masters who had gotten lax in their CW play b/c there were no direct challengers that could beat them anymore, so a surprise push from a new group of folks just might be able to beat them --> this was the plan https://www.warzone.com/Clans/?ID=493But Yolo went from a low key stealth mission, to people talking about it in GC "so I hear you're going to challenge Masters for 1st place in the upcoming CW season", queue face palm here I remember asking why we were using some creepy stalker guy's zoomed & stretched out face as our small icon clan avatar, to get the response from Alex "that's my face! I'm not creepy", lmao You can judge for yourself (; Many of my new clanmates were from some clan called Python which I had heard of but wasn't overly familiar with at the time. After doing some training games with my new clanmates, I realized that these guys were actually really strong players, tho I didn't really understand just how good they actually were at the time (just that they were stronger than me)... Alex, Tacky, Dom, Krzysztof, Platinum, Tainted Monk, Quicksilver, Beep Beep, Bonsai, Wini, Tukuro. A bunch more were from 101st, a handful from the fallen TSFH, 1 from LuFredd and another from FC So next CW season starts, and Masters, obviously aware of the great new challenger gunning for them, comes flying out of the gate firing on all cylinders, raking in a huge score of wins - so much for the surprise attack And then we discovered that the Yolo clan's CW rating had been seriously tanked, and while it displayed as "0", it actually had a negative rating, but we had no idea what the impact of this was. We ended up with mostly "No game" results when queueing for CW games. The first week continued like this, the whole crew showing up for a CW window, 1-2 players getting matched up, the rest getting the dreaded "No game". Our win count was climbing far too slowly. After the first week, our rating was high enough that we started getting matched up against weaker clans ... they were easy wins, but at least we were getting games After a couple weeks, it was clear that Masters had too much of a lead to catch up and several players quit the initiative; in hindsight, we didn't have enough players and daily diligence to truly challenge them even if we had a high CWR from the start and Masters was caught unaware. We ended up with a decisive 3rd place standing tho, authoritatively ahead of TLA, authoritatively behind MH who were in turn authoritatively behind Masters. The season ended, everyone who wasn't TSFH went back to their home clans, while us TSFH'ers found new homes (many to Harmony [which added the TSFH logo to its own], some to Discovery, a handful elsewhere). It was a fun project for the season it lasted

Best memories include games with Pichu, Atom Elite, conversations with Markus, AwesomeGuy, training with MoD, Buns157, conquering with John, No Mercy, organizing communities with FleXUS, Platinum, making templates with Lionheart, sharing videos/media with Global Chat. This is what I can think of now, may add more later

My first game with alexclusive was in 2024 He was a nice guy in stripped blue, a godly color beyond the power of the rainbow
However, i joined warzone many years ago. Together with my big brother Volcano, I faced one challenge after another. We discussed games together, he would rant about how the fuck could i consider the mighty Smolders as a 'stripped-blue-worthy-existence', --for he also was blue, but not stripped-- Volcano would destroy me in Gotham The damned Smolders, destroyed me in every of Kratt's tournaments The few where he didnt appear, Legolas was there. For 10 coins, i shed blood and tears, strategized with my brother about what to do or how to improve.
i wanted to be stronger. lasercatte and raxor were amazing teammates, and i needed to keep the pace
B talked to me in fight of europe. He said he was the very best in fight of europe, so i should listen to him. "being wiped out one territory in fight of europe is GG" he said I didnt care. my power was growing endlessly. soon i would even beat the smolders. i made calculations and kept moving forward. it was the correct choice, and to this day i still think so in that particular day.
he, however, soon proved why he was the very best. we coordinated like beasts. every advice he gave was clear, concise, and extremely important. i saw it, i complied, and offered my own concise advice to him. he talked big, but proved to be a gem of a person. strong to the peak, yet humble and hardworking. he showed me the true power of teamwork "giuseppe is slightly behind as 2nd best" he said
anyway, I remember booting when my phone was stolen, and i was with Legolas and HolyMother in a 4vs4, definitely one big regret
Another regret is that, as a TSFH elder, i probably would have prevented its fall had i taken the load of spreadsheets and tournaments. I couldnt, for the time for me to step up irl had come
my 3 pages of games dwindled through the months, to just 2 games. The championship against (obviously) the goddamn Almighty Smolders in my Very Best Template (Elitist Africa), where i had absolutely perfected myself And TSFH anniversary Scrabble tournament's championship, where i (OBVIOUSLY) picked the almyghty bonus of "BAHAMUT" In every game.
not once did the power of bahamut let me down, nor i it
i waited smolders to reach me in TSFH anniversary tournament
i talked to him in the elitist championship about it, but he said he had been defeated by the great Emidae, so that ElitistAfrica championship would be my last game with him
i strived my best game, and though heavily injured, i came out on top. it was my template after all. nothing could stop me. not even the Almighty Smolders
As a sign of respect, i decided. i would pick 1st pick "(NL) Smolders" as first pick in the championship against emidae. I would use the power of the Smolders to avenge the Smolders
And i did it. That was my last game in warzone for 3-4 years. a triumphant success. Stan said he would stay, grow in power for the time i ever came back.
after coming back, however, my home was no more. i seeked and seeked all remains of my old teammates. first, i saw rax playing (though he's working and idk how long he will play or if he quitted again), texted lasercatte on discord, but she only played idle lately (damned idle! poison!)
i got to know a lot of wonderful people. thanks to stephano36000, i found kratt's AMA thread, where i found some clues. I heard there was some unknown mighty elder of TSFH named 'krinid', who i barely remember after the years, who has some kind of screenshots
anyhow, i moved on my home was no more i forged onward without my brother without legendary smolders to beat without rivals like legolas
all that was left, was my power. and so, with it, i found alexclusive and that mighty stripped blue. he proved himself a guy nice and strong
soon, i may leave warzone again, and i dont know how long it will be or if i come back at all ever again
thats my 4 years of story
i cannot even begin to understand how fascinating would the story be in 10 years, like alex's. Happy WZ birthday, and gl hf!
