Coming Back Home ....to your Redemption Family
« on: May 28, 2010, 02:43:24 PM »
Hello there people.

I'm dedicating this thread and even am sticky'ing it.  It's for your testimonials on players who have been semi-retired and retired from the game, but have gotten back in touch .... if even to reminisce.

I can't help but post a text below, dedicated to two young players who have had a special place in my heart.  I sent a PM to one of them that reads:
".... I've seen players come and go, and gone.  But one thing is for sure....they will always come home....if even....to touch base....with their Redemption family.....before 'flying' back to their destinations and their destinies."

GOD IS GOOD!

I LOVE YA ALL GUYS!!!

Blessings,
ReyZen

That's me! Player from back in 04'-05, played again a bit in 06'. Joined the Military. Made it back to my home state just last April. Bought some cards to restart my collection, and I hope to see some of my old Redemption peeps next week at the Dallas district tourney.

Well, I find this to be completely hilarious and embarrassing!  :-[  :laugh: I was the first one to post a "coming back" message on this thread!  Well, I am back again.  After my first come back I found it to be very challenging to drive the 3-4 hours from my duty station in west Texas to participate in tournaments, and when the pace of work and life started to pick up I had to put the game down again.  Since then I have completed my military service, and I am a full time college student now.  I have really missed the game, and I hope to hook up with Terry and the play group again soon.  My collection is pretty much non existent, and I would be willing to bet my old strategies, which weren't that successful back in the day, probably do not work anymore.

I know what you mean. Our old play group in its prime was a little over 10 ppl and now its non-existent except for my brother and me. Our last competitive tournament experience was 4 years ago. My brother and I just play causally to keep the fire alive between ourselves. We're super rusty now and would need help with rulings, but its still a hobby. The focus of the game has always been fun & fellowship. I'm sure as you link up with other players and game causally it'll all come back together. Remember The Early Church is a new set so pretty much the whole community is still figuring out its synergy and strategies. Another note, With the release of traditionally only 1 set a year and boosters and bins including older cards, its not too hard to get older cards and I'm sure there's people who're willing to give you tons of their commons, uncommons and cheap rares if it came down to it. I'm sure there's also collections you can get off ebay.
