Official Benitez Notice, a message to the entire community

[Carlos_Benitez]

It's been a long time since Benitez started and although I have not been involved for the last 3 years I'm very proud to have flown with you all. When we set up the Benitez all those years ago I never imagined it would continue for so long and that we would have such great times. It's fair to say we diddnt exactly have the warmest welcome all those years ago, crossing the incumbents in Corsair-land and trying to establish ourselves in what was, at that time, probably the most anti-RP part of disco's Sirius. In hindsight setting up 'our kind of group' in such hostile territory might not have been such a good idea, but it quickly became our mission to strive to set the best example we could, and had some really memorable times along the way, running some increadible missions and forming some really strong friendships.
I'm really proud of you guys and humbled that the familia still thrives. Hopefully we can fly together again, some time. Perhaps here, or elsewhere in the gaming multiverse when a new niche is found that captures our imaginations.
Viva la familia.




Edit: As an aside, though friendships will survive characters likely will not, outside of this medium. It was a big part of our MO to strive to have well formed lifelike characters with back-stories distinct personalities and even faces. After 8 years many of these characters feel, at least to me, extremely real, and bizarrely, I will mourn their loss.
