I did not intend on being gone for so long, but it was a perfect storm. I had bought a new house and I didn't have internet[edit] for a while. When I finally got internet, [edit] I texted baby shaker and found out that district locking was still[edit] an issue (NO THANKS!!!!, was getting tired of being the only corp with unlocked districts and facing the NEVER-ENDING onslaught).
I was also upset over CCP going back and changing stats of items purchased with real world money. I was also perplexed at the lack of development we were seeing for this game (we all know why now!). How could they have an entire team working on this game, putting out so little content? When they would bring the nerf hammer out, they didn't even seem to use common sense. The devs also seemed to never respond to[edit] common sense issues/fixes proposed by players. This game was leaving a bad taste in my mouth, and I wasn't even playing it!
I went on for a while, at this point resolved to not waste any more time on this game. Then the announcement about us basically being told that we were unknowing alpha testers for legion... SERIOUSLY!!! I was wondering why our AUR purchases didn't seem to stimulate any development for this game... I guess they were going to legion.
At that point I HATED this game, d*mn you CCP for making me hate this game. In the end, I started to miss the guys, DDB is a tight knit group and I MISSED MY BOYS!!! So I came back. Dynasties rise and fall, when you are on top, everyone guns for you. Renegade was no exception. I came back and I was regaled with stories of what I had missed.
The eventual breakdown and scattering to the winds, the players that had gone dormant like I once had, the clones that stuck it out. Bonds formed, bonds broken, STB screwing us over again (we were used to it by now, please refer to the DDB Bible: Genesis 1:1-7:23, Exodus 1:1-3:17, Frenimies 1:34-3:6, Skarkon I 2:9-5:19, Skarkon II 1:1-13, Skarkon III 2:12-6:22, Operation F*ck SVER Prime 1:1:4:13, Leviticus [all of it, they have violated EVERY Levitican law], E tu STB? 1:1-2:27, Again STB? 1:1-4:27, Seriously STB? 1:1 [this book only has one verse], Modern revalations:Things to come 1:1-???). Hearing about CapAcq rising to the occasion, I was so happy to hear about your successes...
BREAK
Capital Acquisitions: You guys have ALWAYS been stand up guys. CapAcq ALWAYS offered/s help even when we didn't/don't ask, CapAcq will wake up to hit a timer with you, CapAcq has always stood by their word. CapAcq is a fun group of guys. In summary, thanks guys, look forward to working with you more in the future.

I am happy to see that DDB was not destroyed like so many corps that disappear when the going gets tough. That is one thing I can say, DDB has a core that is and will always be there, we are family. If you are a "corp of the month" kind of guy, pass us by, we don't need/want you... If you need a home with some fun guys that know how to get down? Then come on in, grab a beer, some dank and maybe a handful of shrooms if you really wanna see how we rock out.
Diplo, diplo, diplo... I have already touched base with several of you, but there are still a ton of people that I need/would love to talk to. Hit me up if I am online (I can be found in "DDB chat"). I would like to talk with the usual suspects and open up lines of communications with former/current enemies(this is just a game after all). There is one exception, STB (it pains me, I have a lot of friends in STB... hell, my IRL brother is STB. But if we have learned one thing: deals with STB are bad news).
Make that two exceptions, Smoke thatKushALLDayHOLYSH*TIAMUNDERHOUSEARRESTBECAUSEIAMADEGENERATEINREALLIFETOO.... That one is should be self-explanatory. Anyways, looking forward to talking with old friends and making new ones. Hit me up!
P.S. I KNOW!!!
