TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
To whom it may concern:
My name is Jared, 28 years of age, former member of XGC Coldfire. I was there when it was a fledgling Halo 2 clan. 2005-2006 if I remember correctly. My gamertag is, and always was j518rod. People usually called me "J-Rod".
Anyway, to the skinny. Back then, alot of bs was going on with people splitting off to create SiN and NRG. I decided to stay with it, until Darris aka HIRED wanted me to run an NRG clan for him on Battlefield 2. He promised me a bunch of bull, and had alot of choice words about our general, XGC onecoolmom. I was having alot of problems in my personal life, and didn't feel I could be online as much as what was expected of me as a lieutenant in XGC. HIRED told me that I could create the Battlefield 2 clan, appoint leadership roles to players, and take all the time I needed to straighten up what had to be straightened up on the home front. Seemed like the better deal. So I popped online just to check on things, maybe play a round once a month or so. I had alot of crap going on at the time, I talked to OCM about that before I just stopped signing into Xbox live all together. Got an instant message one day to get on Xbox to see what had happened. The Halo 2 clan, NRG Coldfire, was hit by a disgruntled former XGC member. I cannot honestly tell you who it was, guess it was better for them to hit NRG than you guys. My Battlefield clan was all ate up as well. They just used it as a soapbox to talk smack to other clans in the forums, when I checked their stats I saw alot of teamkilling and players dropping out (quitting). So I removed myself from that clan and just played by myself. Now when I play, I just play by myself 90% of the time, and I just kick myself in the rear end. When I was in XGC, there was ALWAYS someone to play with. Dudes would rent games to play with me. That's when I realized the error of my ways. I'll catch XGC members in Halo 3, and they told me to come to the forums and explain myself if I wanted to come back. I wasn't all shady about it and tell them I had never been in XGC. I feel that if I do that, I'd just dig myself in deeper. The only people that are still in XGC that would remember me are Onecoolmom and Icehouse, they were the leadership appointed over me. They would be the two people to speak with regarding me returning. I would love to come back. Due to a recent auto accident, I have lost part of my mobility. I would really like some cool people to play games with, like it was back in the day. I would also like to thank you for reading all this I typed, and would appreciate the council for taking the time to consider me coming back.
