    Hey Koolaid Head Administrator

    Well I would like to introduce myself my name is Sean aka. Hey Koolaid.

    We keep losing our friends due to stuff going on in their lives so I thought maybe bring this topic in on how everyone found mg or MG found us.

    Well I came from Lethal Injection server I made many friends there and was happy but that community switched from l4d2 to TF2, at that time I didn't own TF2 so I just lost all my friends from there and our group family. So I started playing L4d1 again with a few friends and they told me about BAD (bad ass dudes) lol so my love for l4d1 came back. Well I was on that server for about 4 months and a guy joins named, ( MGl EndofTime) So me and him get talking about modded servers and he tells me hes apart of a great community called Marvelous Gaming (MG) and tells me to swing by sometime. So I join the game and first thing I say is *who spawned those props on dark carnival finale* and (Endo's like koolaid there apart of the map.) So I felt stupid but kept playing on USA VI.

    So I kept coming back and learned and got better at vs* I really suck at vs its not even funny how terrible I am* I remember getting my first karma charge on Simtop I think he said "which noob got me". So in reply I said (sorry lol) and all the while our entire infected team was hooping and living it up laughing and it was just so dang fun I kept playing and playing. I joined the group soon after and began playing with the likes of: Bonekeep, Simtop, Vinith, Nine, Endoftime, & Vulcan.

    These guys they all have a unique personality of their own. they all are great people to play with and I appreciate you all for the warm welcoming to the community.

    Well I start looking through server stats & I see LEGEND is number 1 on l4d1 stats and I think to myself I wanna be number 1 in l4d2 stats... I am currently Rank 185 and I am proud of it because I worked hard to even get to this point.

    I continued my stay on the perks & points server and then they closed it down to make room for this wonderful Points reloaded server. I went back and forth from VI and Berserker and loved both so I go onto the forums and see the post. Applications for admins are being accepted currently.

    I read all the requirements I met all of them except for the time 5 days play time. I told myself i wanted to be apart of this place so I stayed up about a week and got the rest of my playtime that was needed. I told Endoftime what I was doing and hes excited for me and told me that super bunny was wanting to test some stuff and that i could join if I liked. So I joined the test server and introduced myself and talked with Bunny about what I was wanting to do and he said go ahead and put your app in.

    I did so and the first to respond to it was Mr Joerve & I remember what he said almost exactly. * What can you do for MG and how can you make it better if we add you to our admin staff* IN reply I told him I can catch cheaters and keep people from switching teams and take care of the racist people and their remarks. So he post again and said that we already have twenty admins on at most times so why would we need you? Well bunny steps in and told me not to worry about Joerve that hes just a lil rough on new people and that he will add me, so i told him that I greatly appreciated the opportunity.

    Well I got trial and I played with Bonekeep and Nine alot On VI and we all enjoyed each other and then shortly after we became lvl 1s we get a new batch of recruits and helped them train and learn how to preform and watch out for things that needed attention.

    I'll stop the story their for now but if anyone wants to hear more I'd gladly tell you everything that I haven't said in this post but anyways thanks if anyone read it. I'm Glad to be apart of this place, this game, this community, and family.

    Thanks MG for finding me sincerely Koolaid.

    I'm just gona keep my post short ..

    How i found MG?

    Well when l4d1 came out, i spent good 9-10 months playing it on Garena and there i met three guys. All four of us would play Coop/VS together and then one of them bought 4 packs of l4d1 and we all moved to steam. Then same thing happened on steam, playing together on coop/vs etc etc but then 2 of them (two were bros), bought BFBC2 and started playing that and going through the list of steam groups, i found MG server where you had 20+ players. I'm not sure if it was MG server or another server where even 24 people used to play on the server but anyways somehow i started playing on MG servers and i met Legend. We would play l4d1 together everyday for hours and then the time past on so i decided to buy l4d2 knowing MG had l4d2 servers as well. I tried the different MG server mods and when the PR mod came out, i got addicted to it and ever since i only play on the PR mod and once i got addicted to the PR mod, i stopped playing L4D1.

    How i became an MG admin?

    Well i used to mainly play on the VS server coz i prefer VS over Coop (i only play coop for quick exp/gems). Back then, level 100 was the max level limit and the admin who used to play on the VS server mosty at that time was MG Fa!l so whenever i had any problem with the servers, i would send him a message or Legend (Coz i knew legend from before) and i would mostly contact them regarding server needing a restart whether it was a bug or lag problem so when Pepsi became an admin, i saw him use the force scramble feature which was fairly new at that time and that was useful because normally teams would be stacked up, e.g. 10 v 6 etc. It used to be annoying when the teams would be stacked up or when no admin would be online and the server needed a restart so i had a word with Legend and asked him if it was possible to give me just the restart the server and force scramble cmd powers as i wasn't really interested about becoming an admin so he asked me the reason why i want to get those powers and i explained him why so he decided to give me a chance and i'm thankful to him for that. I believe i became an admin (trial) in April 2011 and a level 1 admin between 3-4 weeks. So this is it .. That's how i became an admin and i hope i don't let MG or Legend down and carry on supporting MG even when l4d3 comes out ..

    P.S I don't know if i missed things out but it is 3:30am here so don't expect me to be fully awake :eek:

    Well, I'm going to keep this shorter than the one above, because I ain't got much to say.
    I started playing on MG's L4D2 servers in the Summer of 10, I remember playing with Raised and some other guys while they were still level 20 and 30, and then, for some reason that I can't recall, I stopped playing L4D2 at all, So, in the Summer of 11, in a moment of extreme tedium, I got in touch with MG again, I saw what it has grown to, and I thought I had to belong this great community once again, so, I registed on the forum and I started playing again.
    And now, here I am writing this...

    Gonna copy Raised's model :

    How I found MG :
    Random, it said MGFTW, MG - FTW, in caps, so I went on.

    How I became admin :
    I don't really know

    Why am I still here ?
    I guess I made a few friends, and that's what kept me on this server. I want to give a high-five to Chocobo, Legend and Bilbo who are real pals here in MG, and especially ilenia, if I'm here and enjoy playing l4d2, it's really all thanks to her.

    I started playing l4d2 again about 2 months ago wen i had nothing else to do. Played it normal and never knew about modded servers. Anyways for some reason i get millions and millions of group invites from random ppl i dont even know but i just join just cause it doesnt effect me. So i noticed wen i joined the steam groups i looked towards the bottom right of the game and it said steam group servers. I was like wat is this and was like WAAAAT!? u can play l4d2 with 20 ppl. This made things more fun because i always thought the more ppl the more fun. Anyways MG just so happened to be one of the servers with 20 ppl so i would always join that. Started on points reloaded, I hated it cause i would get kicked and abused and i didnt know wat it was about.. Went to viscious infected and lovedd it. After i found out wat points reloaded actually did about skills how its like a RPG game except for l4d where u have to lvl up and buy skills and wat not i started to like it even better now. Ever since then ive been playing points reloaded and didnt really know wat was coop or coop extreme was untill i was about lvl110 lol. I always played vs because well i like competing and like i said before 20 ppl server stood out to me more than 16 =p. Now im stuck on MG servers only and wont play l4d without it and wont play any other servers cause its just not that entertaining. Thats my story

    My story is really not as exciting as all of yours.

    I have been playing L4D2 from the day it came out, just on the xbox, About a year ago, I got L4D2 for PC and was instantly addicted. So over a few months, I got to learning things about L4D2, and eventually learned about connecting to servers. I found a list of the top servers fro L4D2 and connected to a bunch of those every day. At first I started to play on Toybox servers, which were fun by itself. But somehow I managed to find my way to MG. I think I would have moved back to toybox servers if it was not for Nova, who kept me here and said I should post on the forums. But since then, a bunch of people helped me on the servers including Nova, Kitties, Raised, and L1te. I have tried to be friends with many of you, so come play with me sometime :)

    Yeah, that's pretty much it. This is my first ever PC game.

    Yeah, thats about it.

    I'll try to make this short..

    I have been an Xbox gamer ever since the console came out. Playing all kinds of games and such (including l4d1 and l4d2) so in the summer of 2010, I decided to move to PC gaming. I bought l4d1 and l4d2, and the controls felt really weird for me xD I started too look around for some good servers when I felt I was ready. I didn't know what server it was at that point but I'm pretty sure it was Vicious Infected :)

    Now on to how I became admin.. Well I met Popshotz and this other guy Delta (not admin anymore) while playing l4d1 one day. I became friends with both of them, but playing more often with Delta since I was more into l4d2.. I remember meeting Marvel in-game some time after that, and he asked me to become admin. I declined because I thought I wasn't ready for it and needed some time to think. After about a week or two, I had made my decision and asked Delta to talk to Marvel about it again. This was on the 21st of October, the day I became a trial ^^ about 1 month later on the 28th of November, I was promoted to perma admin.. And here I am today lol (I feel so old).

    How I found MG: My friend had a cracked version of this game, and I found it fun, so I bought it.

    How I Became Admin: Well, I made the transition into vBulletin, made a website, and a bunch of other stuff, suggested the domain name mgftw.com, etc. So I practically slipped into the root position w/o ever becoming a trial or gameserver admin (I was a GSA for about 2 days but I had root access lol).

    And now I'm addicted. The end.

    I found MG servers first by having a cracked client at first. Then I felt, well if they won't support the cracked client people then I might as well buy the game it self. So I did, luckily that weekend was a L4D2 steam deal. About 2 months now playing MG servers. Awesome servers awesome admins, great people never playing any other servers. Hella fun to play on.

    P.S.: I told atreyu about the co op servers and gems.

    When I was younger than 16 I used to play only Counter-Strike, for hours and hours no-stop, then I went to a lan house with 3 other friends to play CS, but we tried playing L4D2.

    The next day, I bought the L4D bundle and started playing first Single-Player, Campaign, Versus, and in Brazil there aren't too many BR hosts for L4D2, and playing vanilla was too laggy to play (since there are few BR servers), and I joined a 'L4D2 Brasil' Steam Community and looked for the servers on that group, and then, tada, mgftw.com was included on the list.

    I didn't know anything, the RPG system, nothing. No one was helping me to make me understand how it works, so when someone typed !cp, I did the same to see what happens and I started reading the control panel and learning by myself how to play, how to upgrade, buy skills, buffs and etc.

    Marvel created the first Brazil server and there was like home to me. I completed my 5 days gameplay and asked to be an admin, because it was needed, and I did it in May 14th, even with 2 years younger than required. It was pretty easy since I study english since I was 6 and I never broke the rules on the server, and always helped team mates.

    My story is really short:

    I was bored while playing WTFgaming.com then dunno why my computer disconnects from the server, trying to search teh server again I pressed mgftw.com Brasil for error. In the first session I was lvl 5, then the next day I tried to join again but i joined 3 times to the Vi and Berserkers servers, but when I read every server name I saw that teh servers were called Points Realoded..... now im lvl 107 :D I remember when I got kicked 46 times (I counted them) by using spitter and 13 times by using tank..... those times were so bad..........

    My story is pretty strange.

    I started with L4D1 demo version which i thought was very cool. then when the live game came out i bought it and played ever since. then when L4D2 came out i started playing the community server where MG is in.

    there was this 1 german guy who kept votekicking me everytime he played with me (forgot his name) and that is when i bought a MG packages to become donor so he couldn't votekick me anymore.

    After that i sticked around on the forums and had some nice chats with L1tehawk and Marvel and Joerve. and thats when i decided to buy the rich kid package to support the MG community.

    I then suggested to marvel i could help them creating the IRC relay bot and maybe an ventrillo server and add this too the website to give the players more abbilities to enjoy the website of MG :)

    so in 1 way i should thank that german who kept votekicking me, otherwise i would have never been here hehehe

    I started in L4D2 when it was Points & Perks but at the time I didn't play too much L4D, just had enough I guess but when I did play it was mostly P&P (and an occasional VS match with friends). The server browser was less than useless at the time and it kept forgetting my favorites so I had to look for the Points & Perks server every time, eventually I wrote down the IP (took me a while to come to that conclusion :P).

    Then I came on and it changed to "Points Reloaded VS" and I was getting my face mashed in every time I played. I then thought enough is enough and started my rise through the ranks. I made some good friends during that time (Yo and Double W come to mind) and found out about the forum and other servers and found a great community so I'm here since :) (I also stumbled upon a HD event and that sent my head in a whirl since I'm a big LOTR fan and it was ridiculous amounts of fun)

    I don't play L4D2 anymore if it's not on MG servers, it just bores me to hell and back (even in VS with friends, it's just so slow paced). Now I'm a bit sorry I started in VS and not COOP since it makes much more sense to start there but hell, it was the challenge the high leveled players presented that made me stay ;)

    Hello I'm Stoned! :P

    I used to only play normal servers on l4d2. But then I wanted to try steam group servers but I couldn't see them until I JOINED a steam group hahaha. So I started looking for cool servers with upgrades and stuff like that. Then I ran into Mgftw! The end :D

    how i met marvelous gaming?
    was recently this year or so after the holidays. at that time was a player and while searching for steam servers to play on click on one that said mgftw vs chicago.
    gained entry as it showed a kind of bar that indicates my level and my points, at first I was surprised because I did not know what they were but after a while I had understood. after the end of two days or so I enter the coop servers and leveling up there when I was more or less level between 40 -50 I saw my first shaman tank and beat and I could improve my character in several respects.
    after a known time in the forum and had known the guilds or clans
    and I had noticed that all requirements demanded too excesses in relation to some players and most of its applicants were only English language, then I had decided to create my own guild or clan which meet anyone who speaks Spanish and not ask for any request.
    the road was not easy and when I was almost had presented an obstacle that was to have a guildstone, but luckily mine had enough to buy one in the store.
    but before that when I had become level 100 I had presented the opportunity to buy the original left 4 dead 2.
    but I had to start over (because they know you could order a transfer)
    after having gone around to where it was buy and create the guild guildstone

    "long life left 4 dead 2"

    At first I had received any request and I had to play to level up the guild

    After a time a person joined the guild me my good friend and co leader sunek

    I joined after dan4dead

    and then yoshi is now called ghibli
    and there were more and more people joining the guild

    donor mg am currently in the forum and even my guild leader
    and that is the history of my life since I met marvelous gaming.
