I have carefully followed the discussion resulting from Crimson’s request for contributions to further RenGuard's growth. Some members of our community took the opportunity to suggest others that should donate. Some pointed the finger at those running the servers or recommended the advertising industry to foot the bill. And others even provided input on how the RenGuard team should alter the code.
All these solutions have one thing in common. They relate to others, they do not relate to me. Yes, I can hold others responsible. Yes, I can ask the contributors running servers and programming code to increase their efforts. Yes, I can choose to watch the game from the sideline.
However, if I have learned anything from Renegade, it has to be the fact that teamwork makes winners. And for that reason, I do not want to be on the sideline among the talkers.
I want to be a part of this game as well as this community--as a doer.
I accept that every success requires some sacrifice. I can live with the fact that watching a movie costs me the price of a ticket. I understand that going out with friends is not free of charge. And it is clear to me that even PC entertainment has to be paid for.
The worst two words that I know are “if� and “only". For a long time, we have suffered at the hands of cheaters. At the hands of these low creatures that take pleasure in destroying the online fun for the members of this community. We have reached a point at which we have the choice.
Is it going to be “We beat the cheaters as a community ...�?
Or is it going to be “If only …�?
“If only we had come together as a community ...�
For me, this is a very simple problem. I cannot program, I cannot host, but just like in Renegade, I can find a spot on the team that fits me.
And for that reason, I am proud to financially support RenGuard.
I challenge all those that value this community to eat one less burger per month and donate the price of these burgers to this goal we all share, the freedom from cheaters in the Renegade community.
