Well I think that it is about time, now that I'm totally grown up and mature, to release the epic story of my SA:MP life, which actually is a big part of me and helped me to grow up and I have made some nice friends as well, and for all of those who have always kept on my side, I am very grateful.
So in the beginning there was no time.....
now, really
I don't really remember how I found out about SA:MP, I just remember I was missing a great game I had on PS2 and I wanted to have it again, now on PC, so I found a guy that was selling a back up of his original game (yeah sure) and well, it was actually a bargain, like $5 for it.
I found out about SA:MP and in the early days of 0.1b the only server that really caught my attention was Crazy Bobs Cops and Robbers, which you can still find. I played there for a year or more, I'm not actually sure, in those times I was doing a lot of alcohol and weed, so I don't really have a good reference of time. As an effect of those two drugs I also made a huge mistake at cnr, which was in part vengeance. A somebody, that once I called friend, got access to my computer through Logmein and deleted some pictures that were really important to me and my family. I knew he was a cheater, a very smart cheater (cnr had and still has a very effective anti-cheat system), so in order to get closer to him and be the one who caught him in the act I had to get hacking too, but the time I was recording him doing some airbreak and other things we were being spectated by an admin and we both got banned in the act with no chance of returning.
I was then forced to leave the server I loved and find a new place, so I went into DM at Novocaine, for about a year I was one of the top players and I was about to get admin level when shit happened. Server owner fishbulb got sick and went absent for a very long time, I was tested by the admin team and passed the tests, but fishbulb was the only one who could add admins. At that time I was very demotivated, and I heard some <Ob> people talking about a racing server.
So I left DM and joined <Ob> racing, and in no time I was a full member of the clan and had full access to server files and administration. At that time the server was running SK modes, but had a very few members (some of you might remember LSDan, Platano and some others) like BigRed, BigBlue, etc. The server closed but then a new guy joined with some fresh ideas and a new racing script, a guy named Rac3r. <Ob> guys were not down with the new project, but I actually thought it had some future, so I managed to get a bank account and with most of my income (family) I decided to run the server with one of R's scripts, which was a small modification of a script made by switch, Adrenaline 1.06 for sa:mp 0.2
So the new server was running very nice, and we had a lot of people comming in, I was still using the <Ob> tag and 2 new clans joined in, FSR, and a new clan, 2F2F. I helped <Ob> getting some members and I thought I could make that for myself, so I decided to leave <Ob> and make my own clan. I had a clan with a former friend at cnr called The Xtreme Rapists, and the tag XR looked really nice, so I thought I could use the same tag, but with racers instead of rapists. So [XR] (The Xtreme Racers) was born. The first racing server owned by a 100% racing clan. We were a very successful server and a very successful clan, but power and drugs combined don't work at all, power got into my head, I was short on money and in a pretty bad personal situation I started doing some VERY bad calls, people started to leave and then a new server was made with the same script I had.
I saw most of my clan members playing at the other server, but the thing that pissed me the most was that I saw my coder playing there too, the man I trusted the most turned on me, so we had a big fight and I kicked most of my clan members out. I was left with a server and an outdated script, so I found a guy that wanted to make something new, from scratch. He was the first to use SQL in a racing script and different race at the same time, but at that time SQL was too primitive in SA:MP and the registering he scripted was a bit too annoying. People just left and I had an empty server.
So at that time I just pulled the plug, killed the server and put XR in a grave. I tried to make a return to cnr and Nov, but things were not the same, I was a racer and I was really good at it, so I started coming to this server undercover, so in no time everybody knew it was me. I apologized for my actions and started playing again. At start I was just a player, all eyes were on me, but with time, I started helping the server, earning people's trust all over again, I left weed behind and I think I'm ready for a full comeback, after a few highs and lows with myself and the clan I'm ready to come back not only as a great racer but as a great member of this wonderful community.
