Since we are sharing stories..

I was in cruxis as a noob. I was known as hades god of the underwear. Anyways, while in Cruxis, my natural "leader" strive made me jealous of guild leader Trigger. I felt that the leader of a guild should be there to fight with his guild and share the pains and gains they receive as a family. I felt trigger just abused his admin reputation in order to get others to run his guild.

So, while in Cruxis, I decided to go offtag one day and recruit for my own guild. I designed it on my ipad notes page. I named it "Voyage" with the subguilds resembling different stones. (Voyage Onyx, Voyage Emerald, Voyage Sapphire, ect)

While recruiting, I recruited a guy named BO$$ BO$$ NIC. I was telling people who joined that I would make everyone a custom head when we reach 10 hours, and he was very interested in that- he must had liked my fishbowl head.

He towered a little bit, I didn't pay too much attention to his the first week or so because I viewed him as just one of the normal members. He also came in with his friend Fez who I didn't know was friends with him at the same time they joined.

After weeks, NIC was one of the most loyal members I had. He was friendly, lighthearted, smart, and he was a person I learned I could trust. For some reason, I promoted him really really slowly and it took him forever to reach the max rank "[Supervisor]".

He managed to become a top 3 leader in guild. However, even behind many other perms backs, me and nic had a friendship. We could talk about how we felt about other members, guilds, and problems we had. We would have interesting conversations outside of graal topics. We would make inside jokes on guild chat not many other members caught.

By the time Voyage was at 900 hours, I viewed him as a complete leader. I respected his dedication to the guild as much as myself and I viewed leadership as equal. We would exchange guild leadership at free will because we both knew we could trust each other, we were both passionate about the same guild on Graal and it allowed us to really work together. We put together a iphone group message with 4 leads to communicate and several times we got together and tried to revive the guild. While it came back a few time for awhile, we started to lose power in game and it got too much for us. So we retired, and I don't play classic too much anymore and NIC only logs on when he's bored and randomly.

While our time has past, he is a great friend I made through Voyage. I have made many great friends who I trust as well (noting: Masrules, Fez, Eternalvoid, Banes, Wolfgirl, Buu, ESD, Toby, pharaoh, and last but not least Bin!!).

It has just interested me how long you can work together with someone over a game like this and really grow bonds with them. I'll still snapchat them sometimes or text or instagram, and I feel as if I made real friends- despite my previous beliefs that that was impossible over the internet.

Sorry for the messy typing, I am typing fast, but I wanted to share how awesome I think the bonds I made in Graal were

TLDR: My friends I have made through my guild and how we are still friends to this day
