Well, I learned my trainer-making skills ... because of promise StellarWave gave us it got me interested in writing, I wrote those novellas I wrote, which in a chain reaction made me a satirist and occasionally serious writer.
I learned a lot because of Killer. I learned plenty about seeing things from both sides, how to properly play both sides so that I could have a somewhat important role in toppling a dictator. I do owe Killer my first experience as a moderator and administrator. I learned from his example and saw what people in a community tend to dislike. Also from other forums that I've seen go down, a thirteen-year-old should never be an administrator.
Because of the little forum war we had with Ezekiel's, I learned a bit about forum science. It is interesting how replying to one topic in another forum instead of the forum of origin can change the direction of the war. ... Whatever happened to new-er-be?
Because of the incident over the summer of 2003 with a few unruly posters I learned a good bit about crisis management and how some of my previous held notions on the topic weren't all right.
Because of Outpost 2 multiplayer ... I learned how to lose graciously. (Copy this into your sig if this is the case for you)
