Coming back
« on: April 03, 2013, 08:34:47 PM »
So if a guy has been away from the game for a couple of years, how tough an adjustment is it for him to come back?

Should I expect to entirely suck for a few months again? 

Will my SA and gunnery be garbage for a year or so? 

Just curious. 

I'm drinking some fine single malt tonight, and hoping to get in the game tomorrow, maybe.

Is there some trick to getting my old name back in the game?

Don't know...never been gone that long

Yes you should...I will be more than happy to help you feel that way for the first few weeks back

Hope so ...see above...this won't work in my favour if it isn't

that's perfectly human

have some of that tomorrow before you get on...as this will also help me with the two questions answered above

I haven't seen anyone with your old name and it has been a while so it should be released...just check with the office if it isn't

 :D :D :D :D     :cheers:

I was away for about a year playing some other games. When I came back, I picked up on my skills in about a week and actually gained a lot of new skills in that same week. So I don't think it will be too long before you get your skills back.

Heya man, worked on a very few drawing projects, but that's about it for artwork.  I've started restoring and honing vintage straight razors, and that's taken up a lot of my time as of late, but it's cool and a fun use of my hands.  

For Christmas I got a digital drawing pad, so I've just got software for that and have very recently been trying to learn the software and get a feel for using it instead of drawing right on the paper.  It's different for sure, but still very fun.  

Great to hear from you again!

Hell I'll be glad to get back up! 

I'm glad to see that there will be some familiar names still up.

I've been back for 7 months and still suck.  Wait....I sucked before I left!

Welcome back old friend.  We can do some DA work.  You'll be back at it in no time.  I will alert Dodger to your intentions unless he's already felt a disturbance in the force.

Yes... ever so brief moments when I'm up rather than at the bottom of a smoking crater. :)

Soullyss, great to see you, but you're too modest. 

The Pigs kicked me out and the Muppets needed a janitor for Sunbat and Grizz's shared urinal.  Kappa said I'd get promoted to file clerk sometime in 2016 if I continued to fly "bait" for the squad.  Bighorn calls me his little work-in-progress.  WINNING.
