Well now ... I kinda fell short on bumping this up for this last Flashback Oldies show on Sunday the 27th, but hey ... we had a pretty big crowd anyway, and we ended up continuing with the TP runs that Twitchie started during his show. The plan is always to meet at Corinth Beach, but we're pretty flexible and quite spontaneous ... we like to keep people active and moving.
Most recently ... we've been continuing with the TP runs that Twitchie starts during his shows. During his show this week, we went from Port Atlantis to Swamp Camp, to Billy's, to Camp Phoenix (I think ... lol ... still confused about that, it went so fast) to Orthos West Mound, and then on to Fort Fury before Twitchie turned the radio stream over to me for the Flashback Oldies show. Got a couple of screenies though along the way ...
Radar during Twitchie's TP run ...
Part of the group after we arrived at Billy's ... others were inside the service center, and we were waiting on a couple of other people to arrive ...

Caught some of us going up a steep incline ... MA likes to put roads in weird places and make it a challenge, as well as an adventure

Then ... when I took over the radio stream to do my Flashback Oldies show, we continued with the TP run and ran from Fort Fury to Zychion Citadel. Some had to leave us at Fort Fury because of the time, but we still had a good crew with us on the last couple legs of the TP run ...
Here's the group once we arrived at Zychion ...

Our ultimate destination ... was the East Scylla Mountain TP so that the newbies with us would have that TP for our 5th Athena Spaceport TP Run next week Saturday. That's quite the run when they don't have other TP's, but it's a fun adventure ... especially when Softy decides to invite a group of Osseocollums to the run ... not a good idea with newbies, nor those of us who had the wrong armor on. A couple of them smacked me around big time through 4 parts Rutuba and 3 parts Jaguar. We all ended up at an outpost South of us, which actually advanced us further on our path, so we gained instead of lost this time. It's always an adventure with us. Here are a couple more pics I captured during the trip ...
Love water reflections ...

Once we reached East Scylla, I took this photo ... CyberTrash on the left, and Adam Heineken on the right ... there's something just not right with this picture ...

It was another great day ... and we gave out goodies to the newbies as well. The MSR philosophy and mission is to "community build" and to "pay it forward" when we can, and what we are finding, is that many of our MSR supporters are paying it forward. They are approaching us quite frequently now and donating newbie items like armor, weapons (whether crafted or looted), glow sticks (TT swords) for our parties and activities during the night cycle, and all unsolicited.
Thing is ... that's what makes it incredibly special, and they say it's because they believe in what we're doing toward community building and getting everyone more interactive. We do like to keep people moving, so anything is possible during our DJ shows (or any other time for that matter), as most of you have already experienced.
Let me just put it out there ... we are deeply grateful for those who consistently support our efforts, but please know that it is not an expectation that you donate. If you have the means to pay it forward then we often ask you to pass the items or ped on directly to those in need of them, such as what happened with Adam Heineken during the most recent MidNite Moods show. He gave up his 50 ped winnings for one of the swim contests that I held, and said ... get more glow sticks for the Athena TP run on Saturday for the newbies who don't have them ... I said ... why don't you get them and hand them out yourself as an MSR Ambassador ... and he did ... thank you Adam.
Also ... at the same MidNite Moods show on the MSR party island, Dirk Rand (DR) also gave up his 100 ped winnings for coming in first place and said to use it for futures contests. Well ... I did just that ... I had another swim contest with a 50 ped prize for the first male and first female back to shore from the other island where Moonie was the turnaround point. Do we not have fun or what.
Then ... we have people like Aegyan See who had the hardest time getting me to trade him because I was so busy multi-tasking
... but eventually donated 3 Opalos to give out to the newbies on our runs. Well Ageyan ... I gave them to Twitchie during his show, and he ended up giving those out, as well as the 2 CB5's I and someone else looted during the run. There were more glow sticks given out as well at Fort Fury for the continued run during my Flashback Oldies show, because we went into a night cycle, but it was nearly day waiting on Cyber's ass to show up.
Oh, Oh, Oh ... and then there are people like TOAST from Chicago Hardcore Gamers who showed up at Corinth Beach out of nowhere just to donate a 105 ped mining amp for a future contest. I haven't used it yet, but know that it will be a prize in an event soon. We also have the deeper pocket donaters as I call them, who wish to remain anonymous ... for them I had to open the vault ... I laugh, but I'm not kidding ... that's how incredibly generous they've been.
Bottom line ... it all goes out to the community during contests, events, or giveaways that we do throughout the week even when we're hanging around and see someone in need. For those of you who know me, then you know that I and my soc have been philanthropic within our community for over 4 years, and that philosophy and mission has carried over into MindStar Radio. It carries my name, as well as my goals for the community, and so far ... I feel very blessed that there are so many who support the genuineness of the efforts.
Ok, sorry ... I went off on a tangent into left field there, but there are times that I just feel so overwhelmed I have to explode, but on the other hand ... it continues to confirm just how awesome this community is ... and why it deserves the attention it gets from my purple ass ... along with the MSR Honor Guard and MSR Ambassadors ... the lists will be published soon. I know everything is going to be soon ... but I'm waiting for my partner to get through his specialized RL training so that he has more time to devote to our projects in development.
In the meantime ... thank you!

Then, out of the blue, she donated 200 ped toward our upcoming big newbie event that hasn't been announced yet, so thank you VERY much Ms Nadie, much appreciated, and the newbies will appreciate it too.
It was Magnus (Freelancer), lookin' all ... ok, I'm not going to say it, but know it's good. 
He was there for a little while with us, but then said he was heading out to Dairy Queen, because he had been craving a Blizzard all day. That actually sounded really good, and I was tempted to go get one myself after we finished for the night, but it got to be too late. Thanks for dropping by Star. 
that's Tranny m8 
what to do after the boxing?
