I left for a good while because I was tired and bored of what I perceived to be the same old wash, rinse and repeat. For the most part of my history here, I take full responsibility for going nowhere. I too was wash, rinse and repeat. And I was not ever a CL or even a hand on this site. The pendulum swings both ways. 

Since my return, I have noticed some changes that took place. There are first time auths. There are new hands. In my opinion, that is a good start. We also have to ask how many had the opportunity to be a first time auth and turned it down? 

As for new players, I totally enjoy teaching what I know. It's important to me as the new ones are the future. So yeah, I get where you are coming from. Thanks for bringing this to the floor. 

I would love to see the old timers all go incog of each other and play the game the way they tell us newer players to play. But we all know that won't happen. 

Even if all the old players went incog we'd still rise up and crush people.

Should the new game come out hope it resets everything hustle etc so we can all race to scrap. 

That would definitely be fun actually. I start a lot of accounts with nothing lol. But then again maybe lack of friends would be a pitfall for me. I dont know yall will have to let me know how it goes when ever it starts. I would enjoy seeing a full reset things would be interesting for sure if that ever happened.

While I enjoy the idea of a full reset I don't want one. You would have to draw the line somewhere and given the hustle points, Insta-crimes and credits, too many people would have a leg up when we're all supposed to be starting from "nothing" and so I'm glad the game is going to just roll into the new version with the current players intact. 

You say this as if there's thousands of players to network with. It's the same people going into a new game, and if it rolls over like so I very much doubt we will have a motherload of new players/returning ones. Who wants to play a new game that carried over the same regime from the game proior. We need more players more than anything. We have no idea what the features are that will be coming out.  Why should tom dick and harry be the same rank on another game?   It does not makes sense if it's a new game.   It gives incentive for people not playing to want to come back. Everyone would be on even footing. Think about the attention you could draw off a wipe.   

This is just my opinion of it. 

What's Next? There is no way to tell. We play our character as far as the game allows us. Sometimes we make friends; sometimes we make enemies. Right now, as a hand, what is next is to do everything my CL asks and to protect him with my life. Also, I am responsible for our family needs. It is my hope that I meet and exceed my CL's expectations. He deserves only the best.

I dont want anything. MR should be, for everyone, an escape from real life. It's great for bullshitting and forming real life bonds. The kids who get upset over in game stuff are really missing the point. Those who hold grudges because so and so rogued 6 years ago and killed their +9000 gun should really find something else to do with their life. 

Play the game, enjoy the stupid banter in lounge. Wake up at 3am to a WARRRR text. Play V-Day.

 If there was no problems between players the game would be boring.    I would much rather prefer the bullshit be in game then in real life. You dont seem to agree lol. 

If you have never been relevant or invested one may feel like you do and I understand, but the issues players have with each other is what makes the game fun. We do not all strive to be the greatest writers the world has come to known.
