Hurricane Harvey PSA (archived)

Announcement

 

So, given the recent events of Hurricane Harvey, I asked that my thread be reopened.

 

As I'm sure most know here, Houston and the coast of Texas is pretty much under water, destroyed, ruined, or some combination of the above.  I live far enough away that I have been spared this truly difficult fate.  That said, I know of at least one person here, if not more, that were impacted by Hurricane Harvey and I wanted to extend support and well wishes to all the members of the Texas Tanki thread, and those still not members who come from those communities.

 

Words without acts though are hollow, and I wish to reach out to them and ask if there is anything we could offer them in terms of support, material or otherwise, in their time of need.  While we sit and play Tanki, they are in the real world, and in a situation that really won't get resolved for many of these families for maybe years.  Anything we can do for them is maybe no more than some trouble of time, maybe some monies, and that's about it, but for so many, it will be more than they could expect to have for some time to come.  Help is also not material, it can be in the form of having someone to talk to, networking for job opportunities else where if they have to relocate, etc.

 

If you are interested and wish to help, please post the following into this forum under your account name:

 

"Wish to aid"

 

If you are a member that has been affected and think we could help in anyway, please PRIVATE MESSAGE ME your need/wish here with the following subject line:

 

"Need (and/or wish) <insert what it is you request>"

 

I will then see what I, and others wishing to help, can do to provide assistance for the requests made.  Again, for the sake of privacy and the dignity of those who suffered this tragedy, if you are a victim, you need not announce it here.  Do know though that those who do share their help will be made aware of whom they are helping in respect for their peace of mind that they are indeed helping those truly in need.

 

All of those displaced by this event, you are in my prayers, and I can only hope of all those here as well.

 

I will reach out to those who have indicated they can help with the requests and see what can be done.

 

Again, bless you all, those in this situation and those who seek to help.

 

I have archived and hidden the original splash page in light of the events so as to not distract from the content currently at hand, if you wish to see the list of members and archived splash page information, see the spoiler below.  NOTE: The list below are all members of the Texas thread, and is NOT a list of affected members.  DO NOT contact these people directly with solicitations to help as we do not know who in fact does need help, and who does not.

I am from Texas! I've lived here most of my life, in Austin Texas. Its the best city and the best state. Period.

[FogOfWar_XXX 793]

I'll go first.

 

Yep, new account, but had to change (long story).  Figured a fresh start, might as well as have some fun and see if Texas could represent.

 

Camping is for fools, I DEER STAND damn it, shoot'em from up on high.  Crack beer and pop a Skoal Bandit and let the hunting begin.  Tree bark camo overalls, wife beater underneath, deer piss deorderant, it's all good, pop a tab while popping caps.

 

Enjoy.

Texas it's too hot so meh.......

Its 37 degrees outside right now, and it rarely gets above 100 in the summer. Unless you're in the desert, but most people don't live in the desert. 

The climate is very similar to Southern California, like the Los Angeles area, just a few degrees hotter in the summer.

I use to live in San Antonio,Texas...but now moved to Chicago! 

So, do you still feel it, Texas and all, or are you all Chicagoland now and no roots back home?

[splitterpoint 10,986]

[FogOfWar_XXX 793]

[2strong4u 14]

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

Who else origins from Houston?

[FogOfWar_XXX 793]

Update:

 

Welcome 2strong. (added to the player list)

 

Decided to kick it a little more "rootsy", classic southern rock added to the playlist.

 

(Note:  Spoiler is nice, but the embedded YouTube is still a lot to load and scroll, will be replacing those with links soon, FYI)

 

On a different note, I had never played CP in Berlin.  BRUTAL.  Two 1 hour games.  Good lord, that's work, not fun (just kidding, I loved it, but then I like to play hard).  60 minutes of fighting over CPs, let me tell you, that's a damn big map to have to respawn and truck across for those far away places.  Try it some time.  If you like a thinking man's game, that's certainly one.  First game my team rocked.  The second got a truck full of ******s, we lost, but I took first on our team, but frustrating.  Try playing with a few folks you know can play so you're not depressed after the first 25 minutes. (Shafts ARE GREAT on this map).
