From Quivey "The Dillusional" Arrowheart

I've been playing this game almost two years, but until I was asked to think about what it meant to me, I never did. I use to wake up every Sunday and think " This afternoon I get to go hang out with friends for a few hours and swing foam." That was it, nothing more. Now I look at the game, especially the people in it, as an extention of my own family. I don't know how much I would have missed out in life if I had never joined the game. The game is an outlet for anger and stress during the week, a place where i can be someone totally un-Heather like, where I can do un-Heather like things. This game has tuaght me quite a few things as well. Loyalty and respect for others and what they do. Before, every adult was just someone who got on my nerves and I just wanted them to shut up and go away, now they arepeople who have been there and know what they are talking about, even though i still wish that they would shut up and go away at times. The people in the game are wonderful people. I'm a loner, always have been. I go wherever i want and never make any permanant ties because they weren't worth it. I have made some good freindships in this game that I hope will continue long after my Amtgard days are through. The people in Amtgard, especially Rising Winds, have shown me a whole new peospective in life and have in some wierd way instilled in me respect for elders and loyalty to others. I'm not as much of a selfish child anymore, although at times I'm sure that's questionable. I have been through both good and bad times in this game, but I always manage to forget the bad. The good times I have in this game with you people will be with me forever. I look to all of you with a lot of respect nd admiration and can only hope I'm looked at the same way. That's really all I can say on this subject. it truely is hard to put into words what this game and these people have done for me, but I appreciate all of ou more than you will ever know.
