When it Started

I started flying around halfway through Beta 4c as a Kril flying a Black Knight and liberated Aquarious (with Talon) from some Tibrans who had occupied the sector. Of course this was totally against orders. Me being the newbie that I was (I admit it, I was a newbie at one point), I went to the Southern Sector instead of Orbital when the battle was headed toward Boraxus.

We apparently had a NAP with the Tibs while I was doing this... whoops! ^^;

I then went to Aquarious, and where I proceeded to rid the sector of Tibran scum, with the help of the great retired (I think...) Talon of course. While I did this I achieved my level 4 ship and helped shoot down nearly 3 or 4 ships and helped chase ThePlayer out of the sector too I think. Once this was completed I proceeded to turn back to help elsewhere...

I got yelled at quite a few times for not being where Iwas supposed to be. Don't you just love noobs? They add an interesting flavor to this game...

...and found myself a little behind, and being not as incredibly active as some of the Vets of the time it took me some time to catch up. By the time I arrived Shadow_Wolf and others jumped themselved in to Boraxus with little support and thus lost a cruiser worthy ship or two, feeding them to the Boraxians.

You know, those yellow bellied salamanders. They have quite the apetite.

After that it went pretty quickly--we retreated, and the Bors followed.Blew up our base while our main blob was gone grouped in the roids with me in ChiliDogs carrier.

Remember that Chili? Heheh..I asked permission to come aboard!

Tibrar blew next and that ended my newbie beta--or half beta. Most of my laughs in this game come from there if you couldn't tell...

Beta 5 was the first biggest upset I have witnessed in my time playing TVS

The same thing would happen later happen to me several betas on. Yes, that is proof that history repeats itself. In games too!

I was put in a pretty lousy legion--the Tibrans--and found myself defending against the vastly superior fleet of the Krils. This beta went pretty quick and bad memories come from here. I was elected as the Legion Commander for the Tibs before the assault on our Homeworld and fled the battle when it came (my health wasn't great in my level 3 bomber) and got shot down my SteveC in Canopus West as soon as I arrived causing me to lose the scans for the entire legion.

Oh, and if SteveC happens to read this I'd like him to know that if I stumble across him in TVS sometime again he'll be on the top of my target list for sure.

We were the last ones with scans then, and I got em and lost em, still feel bad about that. Wasn't long before Tibrar blew up with only once pushing the Krils out (ok it wasn't all our doing) and the remaining Tibran fleet that included all our level 5s and some lower levels--I was a level 4 by this time--joined the attack on Krilgore with the Boraxians. Subsequently the Krils arrived to late to save their base but in time to destroy the Boraxian armada and I left before I got shot down myself. Resigning from my LC position I ended up a Bor after being shot down again and watched as the most powerful fleet in TVS history won the game for the most lame-duck legion in TVS history, the Ajaxians. The Ajaxians simply did not deserve the win, but they got it anyway...

Beta 6 I ended up a Tib AGAIN, and thus started playing the Endless beta, aquired my cruiser and went to work for two months only to log in every weekend in the summer to see how things were going. My cruiser sat in Tibrar all that time under seige and never got shot down, so when Wingee ended the game at tick 1000 I finished with my cruiser in Acrador.

.......................

Ok, I have a story for this Beta! I couldn't resist.

We had a little race going on in my squad between who could get a cruiser/carrier first and at this time I was very eager to aquire my cruiser. My closest competitor was Perestroska...

The_Hero? Hero? I think that's you, right?

...and he was in a repair ship and I was in a level 5 Stinger. Well, anyway, I was sitting in Tibrar once again feeling the wait of a stalemate holding me down. So I went off with Darkley and Lethaltrash to TMC where I acquired some points off of and a couple low level noobs (I think) and then ran to Acrador where a number of Krils were sitting (they had been left behind because their main blob had moved to Aquarious). That's where subsequently I started pounding on higher level, pseudo-active Krils until I found myself with 75,000 pointsor so and with the escort of LethalThrash and Darkley, travelled to Mattas Head, Perosis, Orbital, NSA, Garen, Canopus West, Tibrar! About halfway around the galaxy!!

Where are those two anyway? I miss em... and Stile and a lot of others :-(

Beta 7 was actually the first beta I have played where I won by, literally, destroying homeworlds. Though I got shot down twice by the Ajax, I paid them back by getting the last shots on the Ajaxus. After Ajaxus I followed the fleet around the outer ring destroying the remaining Scan Towers (called Comms Towers then), then destroying Krilgore, Orith getting the final shots, and then Tibrar where I once again (surpisingly) got the killing shots there too! This was a kick ass game, and we got lucky to get most of the active vets ;)

Hehehe... that beta is also the reason I haven't flown a bomber in awhile... people are afraid of me blowing up their planets again ;)

Beta 8 we won again, but this time as an Ajax! I got shot down four times, bunnied once, and still ended up with a carrier in 6th place in the rankings. Fighting off three legions, and only majorly defeated in Dragor once and only once, we went on to destroy every Scan Tower except the Tibs, and every planet starting with Boraxus going clockwise. Beta 8 will probably be my first and last time flying a carrier/rep ship--being more active the both your LC and VC is exhausting! But this is probably the funnest Beta I have played.

I also miss my carrier... fun to fly you know..especially when you have a mall on deck 4...

Beta 9: Guess what? I got made a TIB AGAIN!! I swear, Wingee insists I be either Tib or Jax, and Bor every now and then when I lose my planet but never again will he EVER let me be Kril! Why? I dunno, must be a conspiracy! ANYWAYS - the Tibran legion started out pretty strong this beta, we did the usual run to the roids and then when it came to battle with a LC, we fought the Krils in TMC and soundly whipped them and then went on to stalemate with the Jax while the krils went and bombed the Bor ST (destroying and leveling up considerably). While this happened the Tibs went into inactivity, got stomped on by both the Jax and krils, lost our planet and the game. Then I got elected LC after ours died and became a Kril! That lasted a week before I got pasted, so I was a Bor again, aquired my level 5 cloaker and the Krils won! Exciting huh?

• • holds up the APPLUASE sign to the quite aduience**

Beta 10: After the backstab we Jax did to the Krils in RSC we owned the game, but lost our HW to the Boraxian TRI-Nap they set up (we killed them off afterwards and gave the victory to the Krils.) What? It's short, I know, but it's a bitter beta - now I know how my sister felt about her Beta 5 loss as a Kril. Grrrr!

And yes, if EwokDude were to run for election on my legion I'd vote for him, despite some of the funny things he's done during this beta...(Beta 12...or game 12, incase you weren't paying attention up on top...)

Beta 11: "Jax again, and we aren't doing too good! I'll be very very very surprised if we win this one! ;)"

Actually they didn't win, they had a good run for a bit, some good skirmishes with the Boraxians. I don't quite remember what all happened there this beta. I know I did get quite angry with my LC for needlessly getting me (a level 4 cloaker) and some others killed in a move that was very unneccessary. So when I respawned, I jumped to 3 Suns and hit that AWOL button and continued on to Tibrar...

Ok, ok, ok. I know, I know. I have always objected to going AWOL-and I think I've made some pretty harsh comments about some pilots who leave their legion when they need them most or just out of purely selfish reasons. I understand what I did was probably the most selfish thing I've done in this game and it was honestly the first time I had ever touched that button out of spite and anger and I still do object to roguer's. They are traitors-turncoats who have no regard for their legion mates. Yes I was a traitor, a turncoat who had no regard for my fellow Ajaxians... …now on to finish my beta 11 story...

...in a repairship that was easily killable and bunnied ( don't worry, I didn't mind.) Needless to say I became a Tib and from there I don't remember exactly what happened, I was a bit preoccupied with my life to pay too much attention. I do know the Tibs did win this one, because the Krils self-destructed their base due to everyones friend name Holly-also know as Survive and d123ay. Another bitter beta this turned out to be, eh?

Currently: Beta 12. I was Kril LC who will probably be blamed for the loss of the Krils scan tower because I felt I couldn't move anywhere without getting hit by the Tibs or the Bors...anyway...hmm...well...I'll continue this when the game ends... who knows when that is at the moment. Server is a lil' messed up, don't you know? ;)

And don't worry :P I'll put more up here besides game stuffs…you know thanks and salutations to other pilots! **looks up above his Bio** Heh...and I know Shiids gender...though it wouldn't be nice for me to say anything-that's er...Shiid's decision ;) and I dun want Shiid mad at me :P
