    Hello everyone, most of you might know me and since there this big trend going around about these kinds of threads, I decided to make one as well. But it is mainly to thank a lot of people. I'm reaching two years now, but since I'm closest to a half, I decided to go with that.

    Anyways my story began with me being a Call of Duty addict. I would literally play all day long. The years I played COD, I had horrible grades. Really bad ones that I was/am not used to have. I was going through a rough time in my life, I had recently joined Middle school and it seemed that by month I lost one of my friends. In 6th grade, I ended up with the nerdy part of class, which was one guy. I really didn't like him, but he was the only person I could talk to, and even so, I talked to him little. Therefore, COD and my online friends were my hide-out.

    One day, I was sitting at school and one of the 'cool' kids in my class went up to me and asked if I played Minecraft. I said I didn't play it that often because it was really boring but that I had an account. He then left me alone and proceeded with whatever else he was doing. A few days later, he mentioned it to me again and how there was a server he knew of Minecraft, but then left me alone, again. A few weeks passed with me and him exchanging a few words about the game and the server when he finally invited me to play with him. At the time, I thought I couldn't let go of COD, but that it was good for my socialization. I played with him on a HardCore PvP server, both me and him were really big noobs. We also played with his Cousin, his brother and another guy from our school. The first day, I wasn't really excited with it. However, when I got back to school in the other day, he invited me to his faction/base. We played that server for ages, but we were big noobs from the start of it to the end.

    Finally, he quit the server. Eventually so did I.
    I was so hooked up with Minecraft, I didn't really care about Call of Duty anymore, so I ventured out to find a new, exciting, unique minecraft server. The first that caught my eye was ECC, therefore I joined it. I didn't know really a lot of stuff about the game and how a stack of pearls was only sixteen.

    Once I joined the server since it was a while back there was a Mod straight up to help me with everything! I went mining and earned my first couple of bucks, that's when I decided I wanted a plot. Therefore I started asking all President online, that's when I met AnthonyNR. He gave me a plot for free, with a payment plan and a job. I didn't really know what /sell hand was, therefore I farmed Pumpkins for him at 0.20 each! This was when they were above 2$! It took me weeks and weeks to pay off my plot and get 12K. Eventually, I decided to do some dirt placing jobs as well in order to achieve my 12K from a user I don't recall the name anymore. Once I was at 12K, Anthony gave me my remaining 3K for free. I was so grateful, it was a weeks work for me! Therefore I applied for Resident, he taught me all basic commands and how he was using me, at first I was a bit offended, but then I got a long with him. He also told me to buy some donor features. Therefore I bought Teleport, Multihome and some cash. With the cash I bought, I used it to buy his pumpkin farm, in my eyes, it was huge! Then I farmed, farmed and farmed.

    One day when I came back from school, Anthony had removed me from the town and accused me of griefing the town, which I really did not. In my eyes, this was lost in-real life money since I used the money I bought to buy the farm! That's when AnokFero Tp'd to Anthony, he was a Mod back then and was hearing Anthony's accusations, and how he should ban me. They were good mates, but then I told everything to Anok and he knew it was my who has right. He helped me out, took me under his wing. He gave me a free plot in his town, a 20X20! Huge for me back then. He also gave me an absolutely free farm that was two times bigger than my old now. With him, there was a user called 98Brando, he was Anoks apprentice. Brandon and I became best friends, we talked over Skype all day, we both got Mayor at the same time and we did everything together. But one day, Anok got angry with Brandon and moved out of his own town, so I asked Andrew if I could use my Mayor to claim it. Eventually he agreed. Therefore Brandons town and mine where besides each other.

    A few weeks passed, me and Brandon got an a huge, huge argument and never spoke to each other again to this date. That's when I met someone called BurnsBrightly. Both him and Anok became my only friends they taught me everything I know to this date. They got me up to president, even bought me fly for my birthday. It was the best of times. But then, they both quit, and so did I. However, I came back and then quit again and just am on this repetitive process.

    I've came a long to meet lovely people who aren't mentioned above since it is kind of just an introduction of myself to the server and how everything happened. I will be tagging all of you most recent people and saying how I met them and why them made such a huge impact.

    KMaxwell - You've been the most encouraging user I've seen so far, in my most depressing moments you were there to help me at all cost. I am forever in debt to you for that. Thank you.

    Joliver1998 - Met him a long time ago when he was a resident. I still speak to him when he is on and his always been a really good mate.

    voiD_yO - Fifa mate <3

    Gogoplatau - My trust buddy <3 His purely awesome.

    Falconaire - Met him recently, love chatting with him :3

    Hiccabup - Splendid guy to talk to. Met him a little while ago, his just an awesome person.

    zorracraft - Helped me out so much in so many occasions. #Portugal

    Theres many many more people I could tag. But there simply isn't enough space. There might be a word limit d:

    Anyways, if you were tagged or were not. I still admire every single one of you for being who you are. Thanks ECC <3

    Actually it is the same day.

    But as some older members may know I had an another account which was much later to this one. I changed over to this one for personal reasons.

    I always wondered why you changed your name. If you do a search for your old name those posts actually show up as iorbit, weird.

    Congratz iOrbit on this huge milestone! Now I'll feel all inferior to you since you've been on this server a year longer than me o.o
