IrishChamp 641 Posted August 21, 2018 There's probably been a thread like this before but I'm curious as to how all you geezers ended up here. Did somebody invite you? Word of mouth? Hear about JB through a YouTube video and search for a server? Tell your story 1 Skeff reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
IrishChamp 641 Posted August 21, 2018 Personally I was quite new to CS. I was so bad and had no rank and was getting stomped in official DMs so I went looking through the server browser for fun game modes. I used to really enjoy the Saxton Hale mod on TF2. I was popping in and out of community servers to see if I liked the look of anything and then stuck around for a bit. Got hooked instantly 1 Skeff reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
Skeff 289 Posted August 21, 2018 When i started my second year at colleage I met a first year on the bus called Mark. We talked about computing as we were both studying it and the conversation moved to video games. We both played Counter Strike: Source and Mark suggested I check out the gaming community he was a member of. That community was Outbreak. Not long after this I joined the Jailbreak server that Mark told me about but I had never played Jailbreak before and quickly left as I didn't understand it. About a month later Mark told me the community was starting a Surf server, which he knew I liked. I became a regular on the Surf server but noticed more players were on the Jailbreak so I decided to give it another chance. Once I became a regular on both servers I applied for membership status. After a week trial I was accepted. Over 5 years later, many different games and game servers, plenty of different players I am still here. I'm happy to see the community has grown with waves of players and I hope we can continue to do so in the future with the move to discord and a variety of different games. 2 Fxden and IrishChamp reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

My bad, I'm not great at finishing stories. @Markannable left Outbreak in early 2013, a little after I became a member. We still talked to each other occasionally throughout the college year and a little into my first year at uni but since Mark wasn't really interested in Counter Strike we haven't talked in a few years. I hope he is doing well. Quote Share this post Link to post

Vemix 205 Posted August 21, 2018 I used to play Unturned when I met someone named "Renzo", we used to play alot of games with each other and after a game of War Thunder, we decided to hop on CSGO and find out what to do. Renzo wanted to go on a jailbreak server and troll while I was confused and new to the gamemode Jailbreak. The first time I loaded in I heard Lupha commanding amd some little girl talking big smack *cough* @Rachel *cough*. My friend got kicked after shooting someone in the foot (back when admins were serious) and I had a great time. Spoiler Joined this community because I met someone on Unturned.
