All very nice words, but you have yet to show me honorable action or achievement. Honorary Player is a serious role...albeit with some not so serious players, but nevertheless these people demonstrated honor through their words and actions. Nexes through his family clan and teaching nature, blackheart through his relentless determination in defending the wronged in words and action, flash through his dedication to one clan and his fellow players, jews for striving to help people enjoy the game through laughter, pedro for helping noobs in the game and lending friendship out to everyone, and weaponx for his exceptional show of game with great humility in his talent.
Every one of them has shown honor within this game and forums. I do not just give this out to anyone who applies, they must prove to me what they have done.
And so far I see a lot of fancy words, but nothing that makes your actions stand out from other players. With over 1,000 players, this section is dedicated to those who have stood out with honor.
Your clan leaders are very outspoken and I commend them for their activity in these trials. WaR appears to be one of the most supportive of the INF clans, and I am impressed with that.
I'm a little disappointed that people who I expected to earn a place here, have yet to be nominated. You would assume that nearly every leader would have members stepping up to immortalize them...but that isnt the case. You would also expect that the older members would have multiple friends ready and willing to fight for their place here...but they havent.
In a way this tells a lot, it gives us all a reality check.
Only three people dedicated to one cause are needed to earn a player in an Honorary Player spot. Clans with over 50 members and this achievement is still a struggle. If you are not up here and feel you should be, perhaps you need to look within and think about what image you are giving yourself. Because honor is a strong word, a powerful one. It is not for the weak, but for some, it is a part of their every waking breath, whether in real life or in a simple cell phone video game. I am very proud of the ones in this honorary position, because these people have all proven that honor has not died, it lives within these people, the way they live, the way they act, and their voice inspires and brings forward a sense of respect from others that goes beyond words.
Prove to me that you have what it takes to stand among these people! Every last one of you who read this! The one best with words can make a stunning speech with very little material, creating a believable illusion of grandeur. But the one who's words come from the heart need not fill their speeches with fanciful dialogue, honest appreciation comes bold and mindful.
