Hello everyone!

I've never really made these but I've seen a few of the staff members make them after 1 year of being on the team so I figured I would join them!

My journey here is a bit different than the others so sit back, grab some popcorn and take your socks off.

It all started nearly 5 years ago when I first met Omicron on his old server named "Impact". I was apart of a small community with 20-30 players online at a time. The number of players online didn't bother me at all, I enjoyed the server a ton and I fit right in with everyone. I originally applied for Server Support a month or 2 after playing and to my surprise I was accepted nearly instantly (first time being on a staff team on a RSPS). So this was all new to me and as I moved up in ranks to Forum Moderator, I finally had the chance to meet my dad. We clicked right away and the rest was history, literally. Shortly after becoming Forum Moderator and being in contact with Omicron for a few months, the server shut down sadly and Omicron went to the store and never came back =/.

Nearly a year had gone by and no word from him. So I moved on to Oldschool runescape and kept in contact with some of the other staff members on Impact at the time. A year or so goes by and he finally returned from the store and was very motivated to work on a new project with a few staff members from his old server. We started working on the project around July 18th of 2016 and the launch date for Alora was a few months later on November 4th, 2016.  A lot of time and effort went into that release and the results shocked EVERYONE. We had upwards of 200 players online on day 1! This was a huge change of pace for all of us since we were so used to having 20-30 players at a time online. Omicron trusted me with the Administrator rank for the server release (bad idea :pachaha:  ). Trust me, I made plenty of mistakes when we launched the server initially since I had never held such a high rank on a RSPS. But these mistakes turned me into a bald, old, overweight, decently good CM for Alora.

Jumping ahead to August 2017, I resigned from being an Administrator for a short period of time due to how the current Staff Team was being ran and I didn't agree with everything being done. I enjoyed the break very much but at the same time I hated not being involved with the community as I once was. So 3 months later I was re-promoted to Event Manager since I missed the community and interacting with them. So, I did events for a month or 2 and was later promoted back to Administrator in October after some things changed via the Staff team. Another month has gone by and the day finally came were I was promoted to Community Manager in November  of 2017.

Since that day I have put everything into the Community and the Staff Team. I have watched so MANY players join and leave the Staff Team since day 1. I have made and lost so MANY friends on this server, some of which I had the pleasure of meeting IRL. I am also proud to say that I am the last remaining "OG" staff members on the team along with Omicron.

Without the trust of Omicron since day 1 with the Administrator role, Current/Old Staff Team, and most importantly the community, I would not be in the position I'm in. So a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been here with me on this journey. Here's to another 3 years of being the #1 OSRS Private server!



P.S. - I could of went into a lot more detail with certain memories etc but I figured I would keep it somewhat short and easy to read for people like myself. I am also terrible at shouting out certain people so once again a big thank you to EVERYONE that has been here. ALSO My birthday is tomorrow (the 19th). I'm gonna need 14 Large Meat lovers pizzas and a new wig. <3

Even though you're bald and you shout, Alora is blessed to have you as their/our Community Manager. Managing a staff team, a community, livestreaming as much as you do while managing your personal life cannot be easy so thank you for all the time and the effort you put into Alora on a daily basis. Happy 3 year anniversary and happy birthday tomorrow, may the RNG gods bless you with tons of Theatre of Blood drops! Jk I hope you go 100 dry

"yeah showed up, made a reg, hated that life, made an ironman, got bored, quit for 2 months, came back played some more, met some noobs, got better, got bored again, quit again, came back a few months later, tried to make love to lowkey, didn't work, quit again, came back got an imbued heart, dad beat me with the jumper cables, decided to stay longer this time"

 

FR though, Being awesome to read this, (bad idea) was my favourite part.

I like this nice humble story of the making of the bald shouting pizza man we know and love and how eventful life can be. It is still crazy to believe it's going to be the 3rd year of Alora. 

 

P.S Happy birthday, don't eat to many pizzas :)

A wonderful journey it's been these past few years, without you, it would definitely not have been the same.

Thank you for for everything so far, I can't wait to see what the future has in store.

Alora simply wouldn’t be the same without you brother. I’m glad that I chose the right guy for the job, and that you’ve stuck around all these years through everything. It’s crazy to think that I met my bald, long lost son a whole 5 years ago on my 20-player pride and joy server. I knew from the start that you were someone special, you stood out as being calm, understanding, and overall one of the most laid back and mature guys on the server. I don’t know what happened to that guy!

Jokes aside, I do think that you’ve done an incredible job with anything you’ve been tasked with, and there’s never really been a moment where I doubted you. You’ve got this way of making those menial tasks fun, you get everyone involved and you’re able to turn the worst situation into a good time. You care about the people around you and it shows, if anyone’s going through difficult times, you’re a listening ear and a helping hand. I’ve even had my moments where I felt burnt out, and you’re always there to pitch out a motivational speech when I needed it (or a rude awakening).

Most of all though, you’ve become one of my closest friends, who I’ll always be in touch with no matter what happens here, and I’ll always cherish that. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you IRL and I’m glad that I did, you’re exactly as awesome (and bald) as I thought you’d be.

Here’s to another 3 years  <3

Good to look back, those early staff members put inalot of work to lay the foundation of the now high quality staff teams. I remember you being just another strict admin, while your now a great ambassador for the server. Suits you alot better tbh.

I appreciate all you have done and all you are still doing for the server. Keep up the great content, and stay away from my grass, Mr. Meat Lover! :Lmao:
