Who do I like in the Red Alert community? #positive vibes

 Who do I like in the Red Alert community?

Time for a more positive post. There's lots of really cool people in this game who try to make the game grow and make it the unique and diverse community it is. I can't single any one out in particular however here are some people I have a fond opinion of::

• The Lebanese crew (Madman, Fighter, Ad etc etc). All these guys are really cool with a great sense of humour and a respectful attitude to the game. They will always try to help you whenever possible and I only have a high opinion of them all. Even the Lebanese who have moved abroad to other countries are pretty cool guys too (except Butcher - he is a fat bitter cunt with a big nose and a body odour smell problem).
• Blitz - A respectful beta male who takes great pride in his role as the Scottish #3 player but who also cares about the well-being of the game more than anyone. He has an extremely good attitude and work ethic and has offered a lot of helpful insight to a range of players.
• Milo - How can you not love the legend? One whiff up your nostrils of his famous moist sweaty jockstrap is enough to grant you immortal Q powers. A loveable big cuddly teddy bear (even if he is a bit of an egomaniac :-) ).
• Robskate - Always a good opponent and works hard for the well being of the game. Happy to play anyone, anytime. Ultra competitive. I would like him more if he made service depots.
• Fluffy - Always warms one's heart to see the g00se spread its feathers high and mightily wide.
• Bartsama - A freak
• Jacob - cool little naive autistic computer wizard. Nice and respectful but a little naive and easily taken advantage of by nefarious malicious forces.
• RC1985 - I like him because he dominated Ford for years in this game and made him a man. He literally single handedly forced Ford to grow some testicles.
• Ford - Great Asian player. Really good games with him. Really competitive and fun. I love a challenge against Ford
• Boy - a legend and a good pal in Red Alert.
• Herm - A legend. Everyone's favourite chameleon name changing VPN weirdo. All love Herm.
• ORA-members. My people. Much love.
• Lovehandles - A legend. we go back years he was around 10 years ago when I started. Cute blond danish guy who is the best shifter and GQer in the game even though he hates Red Alert. No one is more talented than Lovehandles.
• Iran - a legend.
• Funky - Much respect is owed to funky.

Some people I think are OK but have boring/no personality:

k0bra, faust, at0m1, maty, panter, kipp etc etc etc

Cheers.

Peace.

Till next time

Hiatus

 I have decided to take a hiatus from Red Alert 1.

I do not feel like my efforts and hard work to help this game and our community are appreciated. I would rather spend my time helping people more deserving. I am constantly undermined eg "I won't stream FOR crush". Idiot you are streaming to help the game not for me. I do not benefit financially or otherwise whether you stream or not. People are too petty to put personal differences aside for the good of the game and I am sick of it. I will not donate any more time to helping this cause anymore. The same people who diss LCS spend 4 hours watching it every week. 

The game also has a net negative impact on my life. It was a great way to pass the time during the long coronavirus lockdown of the last year. However I completely lost the passion since returning to normal life 3 weeks ago. I was hoping to play one final match as a "farewell" but I have realised it is not worth the energy or disrespect I receive after some comments from a few players. I just decided it is not worth it. Even if by some miracle I would have been able to win it would have forced me to play another match the following week(s) and I have zero interest or drive to do that. I really overplayed Red Alert during corona lockdown and now I would rather make better to use of my now limited free time.

I have given control of the LCS series to Blitz so he should be contacted regarding its organisation going forward. I wish it every success. 

You can still read my historical blogs and view my YouTube content. 

Thank you to everyone who supported my efforts and I wish you continued success in helping grow this game.

Last Commander Standing 3: F[a]ust vs NastyRobskate

 Congratulations to F[a]ust for making it a hat-trick of wins in the Last Commander Standing series!

LCS 3 was an emphatic 10-1 victory against the veteran legend Robskate. It's clear that Robskate did not play his best game on the day and made a lot of mistakes - however this does not take anything away from Faust who was clinical and dominant in his victory. With this win Faust cements himself as the best active player of Red Alert 1 online in 2021. This title shall remain until someone takes the crown off him in the LCS format. 

Previous results:

LCS 1: F[a]ust 10-8 ORA-Jacob

LCS 2: F[a]ust 10-7 [TB]-R3sistant

LCS 3: F[a]ust 10-1 NastyRobskate
