Well, I made here. Thank you all. Here's my time line :p. I came into the ECC realm on December 26th, 2012. I was a builder with little understanding of how your server worked but I was determined for greatness. So I worked as a fisherman and made some cold hard cash of about 3k and bought 2 plots in the town of RANDOMTOWN from RANDOM2580 who ultimately was my first ever ECC friend. The bordering town was owned by FoxGL who was kind to me and gave all of these gifts. He introduced me to JokerBoss99 and too be honest with you Joker, I hated you at first. I thought you were trying to steal my thunder but then you grew on me and now you are truly my best ECC friend. Us 3 formed an alliance in a way, we shared our tools, money and knowledge and we prospered. About 2 days before Easter in March I became a Mayor and around that time was when Fox became inactive. I was heartbroken but life moved on. On May 5th, 2013, my ECC life was changed forever. I failed at trying to 1 ticket snipe a fairly large lotto. I had the first ticket in and I was mad. 15 minutes later I was 186k richer. That was my first real lotto win ever here. Later that week, accusolhd (sorry mods, part of my story), sold me his melon sword. Back then melon swords were sold at 350k+ and I got mine at 222k. What a steal! In late June I started building my town and selected eddieabery to be one of my co-mayors and now we are friends. Then I went inactive came back and now we are where I am at today. I would like to thank everyone here. You may not know me and I may not know you either but somehow, someway you have helped me and ECC grow. Thank you all. I wish you all a happy and safe new year!
