For me, Warlight has always been about the friends I make. Because of this (and the fact that I'm not very good), my most satisfying moments are when I meet people who will eventually become my very good friends.
Like that time I was playing around in real time games (which I almost never do) and I happened on one of the most prolific modern mapmakers in warlight NinjaNic (

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=5823790). Then there was that diplo that I joined (don't really play diplos anymore) where I met the creator of what I consider to be the best huge map available in Warlight. That was PKThunda (

I still don't think he's found the forums yet, but he's been a good friend of mine for a long time now. Then of course there was that time I met Blortis who has since become a good warlight friend of mine (

There are numerous others as well that I didn't bother to chase down; like Okoboji, Glacii, Cocky Cockney Coug, and agwarrior. Then there's also Lawlz. I realize that he didn't have a great reputation in the public forums and that often put him at odds with the conduct standards of the LEA, but the fact of the matter is that as trollish as he was in public, he was a very genuine, kind, and caring person in one to one (or small group) chats. Oooh, I almost forgot about [LN] Lion. He's retired now, but there was a guy made of quality stuff through and through.
Ahh, listen to me go on like a sentimental old fool. I'll let you all get back to posting your victorious game links, but for the record my accomplishments (which are meager) are not what satisfies me in this game. It is only ever always my friends.
