I've been checking the forum quite regularly just to see who is visiting and I thought it would be nice to hear from everyone who is stopping by. Personally, I got married 3 years ago I started my new job a week later working for a Christian company providing care for people with mental disabilities. It is so rewarding to see the difference I can make in their lives. My wife and I can't have kids so we have a Chihuahua. My mother in law bought a town house that we have fixed up to live in for a few years and then sell to get some money to buy a place of our own. What has everyone else been up to?

Reaper here. I just heard from Goodness (Danny) and he asked me to make this post on the website. Evidently he's not able to get on the forum anymore... There's a restart of AA going on here: Go to steam ,free to play games ,also try Dota 2 also free game(same page). store.steampowered.com/genre/Free%20to%20Play/ would be great if a few members still play In looking at that game it's way beyond what my lowly laptop can do. But here's an alternative: aao25.com. It is a place where you can still play AA version 2. I'm out there sometimes but never ever ever see another of-God... If anyone is interested come on out and post here. There is at least three of us still going... Sam

I haven't played AA since 3 came out (after the numerous delays). Almost everything has changed since then. But God remains the same - all glory and honor and praise to Him!
If anyone is interested in gaming with me, I play CounterStrike: Global Offensive, Battlefield 4, Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat: Source etc. (all on PC of course). My tag is Rogue_Danar.

Oh. My. Goodness. Has it honestly been five years since I last posted here? And SEVEN years since I first began playing AA way back when? It can't be. Weren't we playing on Pipeline SF and MOUNT yesterday? And wasn't Anointed (David) giving us RPG-7s to use in the last round of the match just for fun? Weren't we going against the AI on one of the co-op maps, as well? Wasn't I playing SnakePlain not twenty minutes ago? It certainly feels like that.
In the answer to the question, I have been bouncing around from thing to thing. Video games are still a big source of entertainment, but it has been almost four years since I last had a PC that can play games on; both of the ones we had died on us, and we were left with a laptop and a computer that couldn't do anything besides go on the internet. Both of THOSE are now dead as well. I have been reduced to a Chromebook, and it unfortunately has no gaming ability.
Anyway, I have taken up creative writing in the time since I last spoke to ANY of you, with Mick and Anointed (David) being the last ones. Mostly my writing has been for practice, fanfiction and such, but I have come upon an idea for an original series of novels that I really like, and am in the process of writing lots of ideas for. I pray God uses them to further His Kingdom and do His work.
But most importantly of all, I've grown as a person. I've grown exponentially. I remember nearly all my conversations I had during our gaming sessions years back, and I honestly was a very annoying, immature, rude little boy, who didn't even realize how much that behavior could affect everyone else. God opened my eyes to that behavior several years ago, most recently this last summer, and I've been Seeking Him since, actively trying to learn more about Him and continue to grow into the person he wants me to be. I pray I find the paths he wants me to take.
I would offer a tag to play with anyone who wishes to, but I unfortunately do not have the ability to do so on the PC at this time. I am open to sending messages to anyone who wishes to talk, though. I felt compelled to come back to this forum last night, maybe the reason being God wanted me to be in touch with some people again.
God Bless, Treasure

I think about the memories I have from this clan every day. Would it be possible to create a group (Facebook, for example) and stay in close contact on there? We don't necessarily have to play games, but it would be nice to stay in touch with one another. Hope to recieve a response! Miss the memories.
God Bless! -Cole

Hmm. Could be a good idea, Cole. Life has prevented me from being able to play games on the computer for the foreseeable future, but I am still able to communicate with no problem.

A facebook group would be pretty cool. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, here you go.

Hey, Endurance.
It seems a lot like I am one of the very few who jumps in here to see if anyone is still around. I do not have the ability to play PC games for the time being; my only computer is a Chromebook. I am hoping some people decide to jump back to the forum sometime soon. It makes me sad to see what was once a hub of activity so quiet all the time.

I agree. I believe many of the members are still regular "online people" but the forum obviously have been vacated in a large way these last few years. Still, any level of fellowship and gaming together would be great.
edit: Also, I'll see if Peace is up to any good ideas...

I also think any level of fellowship and gaming would be great. Hard to coordinate since it's been so long since we've been active as a group, but I think it will be worth mentioning to others. I'll have to leave most of that to you, since I do not have a lot of communication with other members.

I still check the forums every now and then. Sometimes I still think of you all and all the fun times, and miss having AA and the forum to turn to for some relaxation and Christian interaction. Mostly I have just been doing the same old...college and work.

I miss the same things, Bethany. Having a good church is great, but there was something about being able to talk to so many people across the country and the world that was just special.
I myself am also up to pretty much the boring work, along with attempting to write a novel.

I myself am also up to pretty much the boring work, along with attempting to write a novel. Zack/Treasure I agree completely. A church is one thing, but I miss having a group of like-minded people who you could trust, who built you up in faith and encouraged you spiritually, and being able to just jump on and have that kind of interaction anytime. Even though I have more people in my life now than I did back then, I wish at times I had more Christian people to interact with. Is there any game/place online where our old clan members have some type of group still going? A novel sounds cool. Are you able/willing to disclose what it will be about yet? Bethany/Delight

Bethany/Delight As far as I know, no. That was what Endurance and I were talking about. He knows a few people on Facebook, and I know one from the same way, but that is about it. I do not know when people just kind of floated away, or why many are not in touch in some manner. It is definitely saddening to see. I would be willing to talk a bit about it, sure. It's a literal hybrid of fantasy and sci-fi. World of my own making, but I am going to be laying down a lot of spiritual themes throughout. I plan on the story carrying out over a series of novels, with each one tackling getting more into spiritual themes. The exact way I will write these is yet to be determined, as I am what is called a Discovery Writer who starts with an idea, expands on it, and in turn creates more ideas that are then tied into the original concept. It's a great deal of fun.

Hi Zack and Bethany - I happened to see the forums as a favorite link so I thought I would try to see if anyone still visits. Glad you guys communicate a little. I know Peace on Facebook and Strings as well - but have no contact with any others. Us old guys can no longer play the game (at least I cannot) due to reaction time and vision accuracy. I keep busy with God, family, work and volunteering as an EMT. If you recall, I had the heart transplant in 2008. Happy to say all is well - be sure to check the donate organ box on the drivers license =). I tell patients in the ambulance about organ donation when I am able (without freaking them out).
Be well folks - Tested

Hey, Ed. Good to hear from you. I'm glad you're doing well with God, family and your volunteer work, and that your heart is healthy. I probably will check that box.

If anyone still reads this i wish you all well. It seems so long ago but i have many great memories about this clan and the members. I remember some of us were fairly good with the game. Rushing C, stand off in front of church if two players remained and got tired of waiting. Good times bro's. I have a 1 year old and a baby boy int he oven so i just play single player games at the moment. If anyone reads this ... i still think of you now and then. God Bless you all.
