I was pretty low profile back then anyway.  I wasn&#8217;t in any huge-ass famous guild, wasn&#8217;t one of those screamy female CS player who&#8217;s damn pro in AWP&#8230; I&#8217;m just that socially awkward girl who initially tagged behind bAbYeLiTe (Jas~) wherever she went, and then subsequently became a CS server admin at paGn, before moving on to being a committee member in Khabal Gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Most people will probably have just heard of the nick &#8220;Scottie&#8221;, but never quite remember who I am.<\/p>\n<p>But there are some who remembered&#8230; and boy, I&#8217;m surprised that they do.  <\/p>\n<p>Just like in the past&#8230; even though I&#8217;m part of this Facebook community page, I never really felt that I&#8217;m part of it.  Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve never hang out with these people, I&#8217;ve never really played with them before&#8230; I&#8217;m always like a bystander.  I can never blend in with their topics, to what they say.  They are a close, tight knit of people.  In the past, I can only listened to what they were saying, and smiled if they said something funny among each other.  Now, I can only &#8220;like&#8221; what they say there on FB&#8230; nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn&#8217;t change that fact that I&#8217;m glad to be part of the community, to be there witnessing them catching up with one another, reminiscing about the old times.  <\/p>\n<p>The good, ol&#8217; times.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly I feel like taking out that Quake 3 everglide and re-install CS all over again.
