Probably too many to list and I'm sure I'm leaving some well deserving names off, we had a whole guild full of them I leaned on, however here are a few. Crook, McQ, Sirasoney, Macrea, Davy Jones, filthy, Tessa rose, jinnga,freedom, arrow, and probably the first two who showed me what "gemming" really was flying joe and baconator, secret mentor was lobo never played with him/her but gained a ton just watching the replays of my base getting destroyed by them over and over.
I'm afraid that most of the people who taught me what I know have left the game, but one has recently found his way back so I'm holding out hope for the others!! That being said, i continue to learn so much from the awesome folks at TheeBar, as well as old guildmates who may have moved on but continue to show love and support when needed.
CutThroathChristy was the player who made the game fun! If it wasnt for her I would have quit a looong time before I did. and Lobo was the guy who tought me everything! thanks to you both!
