Tonight I was dropping in my newly purchased Orion when I happened to land in a match with PGI Jonty Roodnick. It's always pleasant to see proof of PGI playing their own game, so I must admit that I immediately took a slight liking to Jonty. I teased that I would teamkill him for being part of PGI, and then we worked together to easily sweep the enemy team. It was like a lance-made-in-heaven experience.
The very next match, Jonty was on the opposite team. This time, I had an opportunity to kill him legitimately! I announced my intentions and challenged him to a duel. Unfortunately, at match start, a poor-judging individual on my team decided to alpha strike me in the back and proceeded to team-kill me. I was disappointed and cursed the MWO gods; why must the mechwarriors constantly lament? When will our suffering end?
PGI Jonty Roodnick then suddenly became the harbinger of justice. He was the answer to my calls. Jonty witnessed the crime that had befallen me, and enacted swift justice on my aggressor. I wonder if the team-killer even ever noticed that a PGI staff member was within our ranks.
Jonty and I then exchanged a hearty laugh and good wills. The man even friend requested me after the match. I was impressed with the overall experience that I decided to double-down on my Founder's pack and pick up the Phoenix Pack once again. Here's hoping community warfare is as awesome as it sounds like it can be.
It was refreshing to see someone from PGI playing with us and then helping me out when something went wrong. Pretty cool stuff. I hope that other players are able to have such positive experiences with PGI in the future. Special thanks to Jonty for taking a fairly disappointing MWO experience into something I can look back on and laugh at.
