I know this is just a video game. But here's some honest advice to you all to take with you back in RL.
Never stop playing video games,just learn to control the amount of time you let yourself get consumed. There is a balance that is needed. Some of you..including me, used Dust to escape our RL issues. And there's nothing wrong with that, at least temporarily, it's better then other things that we can do that are more harmful. BUT, Gaming can become an addiction. A real one. Learn this now and be aware of it. Of all the issues I had to deal with as CEO the most difficult was dealing with my players RL issues. So to those listening and to those I helped and who helped me,I hope you're doing well.
Now, the point of this post.
I have so many memories of events that occurred over the past few years due to this game. I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know if I have to because you all have similar ones. Hell I'm included in most of tour stories. Our interpretations and our views of those stories my vary to degrees how ever the events themselves took place. And they were awsome.
Some of you have incredible minds and very very bright futures in RL. I can tell you this because I've heard you speak and use critical thinking skills. People and relationship skills. Negotiating skills. You planned fake wars and battle strategies. Real life. Is the same. Be the character in RL that you really want to be. Come up with ideas and then make them happen. Be confident. Be bold. And if you fail. Launch another clone pack when you revise your plan.
I would like to thank everyone that I've met in this game. There's no one that I truly dislike on here. That includes Espeon, Black Ice, 8213, Sota or anyone i ever argued with,hell even Dust User who I have got to know pretty well these past few months while on KIK chat(we have chats on there that we imprison people for months and spam them with messages and memes. For fun I even send videos in with me doing some funny yet embarrassing stuff)
In closing, as when this game gets terminated they will more then likely delete this forum. I highly encourage you to make a new fb account with your Dust name..or real name if you're not scared. And join the Dust 514 Facebook page. Keep in contact with each other. When a new game drops we can call form one giant corp and slaughter a whole fresh batch of noobs
Take care all. And Remember. You can't snow a Snowman!
