Its probably one of the hardest jobs to get around Discovery.
Now I am standing here, looking at a great and famous faction.
This faction dispalys Rheinland, it displays the hard work of Virus, Caylith, Gronath, Kane and and and....phew, there are so many people who kept the way clear of big rocks to stumble over.
If I manage to keep it only half of that way, I will do fine. Virus is one of the best faction leaders I know around and he is not replaceable.
They showed us where to go. They showed us the frame to roleplay in.
All other players formed it the way it is now.
A verry good place to roleplay in, a friendly place to be and a fun one of course.
It is not the easiest place to be, talking about the hard rules around here and talking about the usual "problems" present.
Though I think every house has the same problems to solve.
The point is the special way, Virus managed to solve these problems.
He knows how to be calm, direct, friendly and when to be a jerk to ensure the roleplay won't get harmed.
I just hope I watched him close enough to be a good [RM]-Watchdog for him*laughs*
It was Oct 14, 2008, when I sweated like hell, awaiting the answer of Virus and Gronath.
"Thank you for your time and interest in our faction."
That was the line I stared at.
Suddenly I found myself inside the ranks of the Rheinland Military.
A little recruit, a little (ingame)girl looking up the ladder.
I met Admiral Hiltraud, the first Admiral I have ever seen.
One day she taught me how to react and talk to traders, enemies and friends. Soon after that, she had to leave. I still miss her and I am happy if she pops up in Skype.
Since then I had a target locked. Work up the ladder, be part of this great faction and help wherever I can.
I worked my way up the lower ranks and maybe that was why I caught Admiral Krieger's(Gronath) attention.
He was also one of my greatest teachers on discovery.
Suddenly I found myself at the Officer ranks.
And where am I at now? Admiral. Admiral Malexa Malte.
I have the honor to stand next to Admiral Krieg, Admiral Krieger, Admiral Hiltraud and they will be still my mentors.
At this point I want to thank every player who crossed my way until today.
You are the reason why I am still here and will be in the future.
Lets keep Rheinland the place we love to be.
Yours Malexa
@Virus: You better stay at disco, or I will, as my first order, send out the Rheinwehr to hunt you down!:crazy:
And I am happy that you keep Reinhardt (see, no H after the R:P)
errrr....and typos are poetic licence. Bloody Laptop
