Hey guys Snipe here. Listen I just want to give you guys a bit of a heads up in advance about our up-comming monthly challenge for the month of November that I feel needs to be made clear. You see while I did all that I could to keep these challenges available to all members both on Steam, and in our MMORPG Groups, since the topic for this challenge is farming, and I have no way of being able to keep a fair, and stable scoring across the board with our MMORPG groups on such topic, if you want to participate you will need to be in our Steam groups, and will also need the game Creativerse in order to participate. Now with that said, yes this does in fact mean that we do have a server of our for a game that's on Steam that's also free to play. However, since this server is also a private one owned directly by me, to those who remember me talking about how much we'll need members to help out as Server Guards, we will not be needing members to take up those positions in the case of this private server of ours for Creativerse. The reason why is because the devs behind this game give each server owner a server that's not only free, but all of the server admin power strictly only to the owner of the server. With that said even if I wanted to give members server admin powers I can't in this given case. So anyways I just wanted to give you all the heads up now so that you may have some time to play the game, and get use to it in preparations for our November Monthly Challenge.

Here's the link for the game.........

Hey guys Snipe here. First of all before I reveal to you all who has earned MVP of this Month, I'd like to say congrats to our member kyleromano85 aka Zap for earning MVP of the month of June 2016 again for not only proving himself as a high value member of our MechWarrior Online unit Zio Matrix Millenium, but for even inspiring me for making new mech builds that I feel can help inspire the minds of others. So with that said guys Zap you really set the bar high there man, and I salute your efforts. Second of all it seems once again we have another tough call on our hands where again in order to make this a bit more fair, I had to give the MVP of the Month Award three times. With that said one MVP of the Month Award will be posted here, while the other will be posted on our general steam group page aka Freebie Gamers with the third person being mentioned in both posts.

Before we look at who earned MVP for this month, here are a few honorable mentions.....

daviddales12 aka David=When I fought along side you those few times in MWO, I admit that I was quite impressed by your preformance in game, even if your King Crab was a bit funny with the words "Eat me" on it. However it was when you sent that Koballi Samsar after my Teir6 Defiant in STO that has left a lot of members in shock, especially when you look at the fact that your ship is based off of your King Crab with a +60%deffence raitting against Antiproton weapons. That match may have only lasted a few minutes granted, yet the fact that your ship can stop any, and all of my infamous Spec Ops Bomber builds speaks louder than it's preformance. I say this though we've not seen much else from you, and that is why you've became an honorable mention for this month.

And now your MVP of the month of July 2016 are as follows.....

Advent Child aka Raven=I'll admit it was a very tough choice between you, and the other person who earned MVP of this month Raven. The reason being because while most of these members who are looked at as honorable mentions had a strong start, your start was a bit of an up hill battle on your hands as former member of Tactical Mercenaries of the Northern Star CheetahHawk was expelled for breaking rule#1 for using religion as a weapon to bully me. When he did that I had to issue a refrainment order on your unit ARC7 for the fact that CheetahHawk was trying to bully me into selling out to ARC7 as his main purpose with you exempt because I noticed you were different from the rest of the pack. As it stands I was right about you too for you are simply a true gamer of the three kingdoms with crazy stories that remind me of the times I screwed over Hexst by mistake, and/or at times pranked him for fun. You clearly have the skills, and preformance to do even better, so there's a chance much more will come from you in terms of your greatness. Hence are the reasons to why you have earned MVP for this month.

bartmayor aka Bart=Honestly Bart if I had to describe you as a person, I'd say you are much like a trusty machete who has constantly been following in my footsteps in terms of reasoning, and logic with the way your preformance as a Secondary Overseer, and as a gamer, constantly getting better, and it's no wonder why I'm salutting you for your efforts again. Who knows though perhaps you'll earn MVP of the year 2016 too with that constant, yet steady increase of preformance value that I tend to see with you.

Hey guys Snipe here. I am pleased to announce that for the month of June while we have had quite a few members who could have earned MVP of this month, it is our Second in Command Team Member, and Direct Overseer of our Neverwinter guild Skills who has earned the MVP award for the month of June this year. While granted our members Bart, and Mystic were clearly good choices due to how relyable the two have proven, the reason why I'm giving the award to Skills ultimately comes down to one key factor that makes him stand out 10% above the Bart, and Mystic. For you see it was last Sunday that Skills told me about his goal of trying to get at least one of his Neverwinter characters to level70 by the end of the summer. Now normally I would look at that as bit of a common goal that we all have in MMORPGs in the sence that we all ultimately speaking aim for having our characters reach the max level cap in those type of games. The thing is though Skills has already been showing a strong ammount of devotion, and determination to reaching his goal in a way where it reminded me of how I am when a double XP event comes around in either Star Trek Online, or Neverwinter. In fact even when I was typing to him, I could tell how firmly his mind was set on reaching his goal in a way where it has motivated me to make an effort on grinding up for enough in-game cash for MechWarrior Online to buy not one, but at least 6mechs that I intend to use both for our members, and to continue my legacy of creating mech builds that are truly desinged for warfare with intense preformance values. So with that said whe you guys see Skills online this month please give him a salute, and wish him luck for he has earned MVP this month, and will need all of the luck he can get to reaching his goal.

Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately I CJ, will have to resign as second in command in this group. I have been apart of this for near 2 years. This day will be my last. . I cannot go on this long. I have separate interests than trying to support the group. By leaving the group, i will be leaving behind memories and experiences. I have learned much from my time here. Magic, I was taught magic by some of the most creative deck builders I have ever witnessed. Snipe, Swarmlock, and Hexst. A Tri-force of people who helped me get footing here on steam. I need to experience more of life. Why I left is a combination of, example, and Self-Decision. I am not trying to provoke everyone to leave, nor am I trying to be an enemy. I need to have more experience, in life. Life is what matters. Not what others think about my life, or them trying to stop me. But how far I can go without stopping. By being in this group, I have taken what I can learn. I have been thinking of this sacrifice for a long time, and probably still will think about it before I post this. Maybe this vision of mine will change, maybe I wont have this same mindset. Im not sure. It makes me sad to think I had to write this. Maybe I will be back. Who knows. I just need more time for life. I believe the group is in a more stable spot, so I think it would be fine more me to go on. Good luck to everyone.

I hope our paths will cross again
Sincerely,
CJ

It has come to our attention, that great Artist Chris Rush, has passed away. If you do not know of him, he is an artist most famously known for his work on many Magic: the gathering cards. His work includes, Lightning Bolt, Black Lotus, Mana Flare, Shichifukujin Dragon, and 1996 World Champions Card. He was very important to the development of Magic: the Gathering. If you remember, every October we use Chris Rush's art on All hallows eve, as the group picture. Thank you for your time.
Here are some links to His art and other Pages:
