I discovered this game when i was a young teenager (i think 11 years old nearly 12) and it was a game that gave me a lot of fun for that time and for years to come and also a game that taught me a lot of things that even today i use in my life. I met one of my best friends right here on this forum (luckly we are also from the same country, a country that i could tell all the players that play toribash on my hand fingers) and i will forever be grateful for that. I can't imagine what my life would've been if i didn't meet him. Also when we talk about useful skills that this community taught me, it taught me to better socialize (ik it sounds cliche when we talk about socializing on the internet), taught me skills like marketing (to some extent), taught me how to trade (again to some extent), taught me things like how to do a free form application (trust me doing an app, also in free form at like 13-14 is something else), taught me from a young age the risks of gambling or even the idea of big risk big reward, small risk small reward from dueling. Taught me that if we want to work as a society we need to follow rules, but sometimes rules are meant to be broken. It taught me teamwork can get you a lot further. (og Fight Club clan was at its peak i think nr 1 in clan rankings and at some point i became their leader that lead them to hold onto that spot, still proud of that)

I could go on and on, but i don't think i will ever consider my time spent in this community and game (just made 11 years yesterday since i joined this community) wasted. It's like a lot of people say about other good things in their lives, it's the memories and things we learned along the way.
