When we were young, the laws did not apply to us. When we were young, we made the rules. When we were young, the world was exciting. When we were young, we ruled the world. When we were young, the world was perfect. When we were young, we were the world.

When We Were Young is a ten-part series looking into how eighters are so much better than everyone else, better than niners, tenners, eleveners, twelvers, and every teener to come who think their time on Armor Games was the most important. (Hint: You're wrong.) The story unfolds in an extremely biased but undeniably true albeit poorly researched narrative filtered through rosy lenses across the span of the golden year and the unnotable years that followed. By referencing specific moments from Armor Games Forum history without referring to specific usernames, it filters out the eighters from the haters, because if you don't know, you're just not cool enough to know and if you do and you're not an eighter, you're just a poser.

Face the truth on some random day at some random hour, starting some day after today.

What? I'm fairly certain you didn't start posting until April, so yea, February was definitely better even though February was the beginning of the Drama. It's probably you're fault.

Possibly.

I think this counts as irony.

Ouch ouch ouch. I'm not as stupid as I was when I first got here. I don't even remember that thread. The sight of me back then makes me shudder.

Why are you complaining about it pang? That doesn't seem necessary.

how it was really unfair to have Zophia enter art contests


Part of me wants to go back to the "Draw that Pokemon/Fakemon!" And see how many times Zoph and Cenere won, but the other part of me doesn't want to dig theough those two behemoths of a thread.

^According to statistics, Salvidian is likely to cause drama that will go down in Jun13 - Dec13. There's just something about 'opular' male users under the age of 18 that start with a capital 'S' that screams 'switch on the drama queen train!' This means he's going to slip up and the mods will expose his fraud with the evidence they've already gathered, but he will try to garner all the attention he can and try to turn the community against the moderators.


I am shocked that such a prestigious and admirable member of the Armor Games population decided to write about me. And with such accuracy and beauty! I am utterly blown away.

Thank you, master.

I have numbers I scraped from celebration threads, which match up with yours. The last number I have is 2 million right around the end of 2011.

I haven't done any deleting in this thread except when I screwed up formatting in Part I, but your post is gone. Dunno if the forums ate it or if someone deleted it.

Ouch ouch ouch. I'm not as stupid as I was when I first got here. I don't even remember that thread. The sight of me back then makes me shudder.

If we can't face our past, then how do we live with ourselves now? I remember a lot things people don't. Heck, I'm writing this entire thing mostly from memory.

No no..Sal and I at least get what is going on. Keep it coming[/quote]

No, really. A lot of my humor is lost on a lot of people on hilarious levels of irony, because I'm on a level beyond.

Part II will be released later this month.*

*or next month, but definitely sometime this year. Cross your fingers!

I was almost an eighter. :'<

Good lord, now I remember my Armor Games Facist Party thread in the WERP D:, my first WERP Thread. Hopefully no one finds that nonsense in its dark grave.

Can't wait for Part II
