My SP story

12.1k BlackhattAircraft  4.9 years ago

Don't read this

I mean, you can, but it's kinda dumb...

I was going to do this when I reached 100 followers, but I decided to do it now because, you know.... 97 close enough right? I doubt anyone's going to read this anyway, but I feel like writing right now. So it all started in 2014......

My brother found SimplePlanes one night while watching YouTube. I think it was Jacksepticeye of all people who he saw playing it. He showed me and we freaked out. For some context, I've been going to airshows since I was 5, my dad forced me to go until I enjoyed it, and boy oh boy, I enjoy them now. So we checked it out, begged our dad to get it for us, and then we just started building. I've never taken a tutorial in SP before, so the first year was slow. I mostly had fun and wasn't on the website a lot, but I do remember seeing the Luft-waffle and the Pan-zer by @BaconAircraft in the highest rated at some point (Still some of my favorite builds).

I met @ViridiCinis (Who's my best friend btw) in 7th grade and successfully converted him to an aircraft nerd. I introduced him to SimplePlanes and that's when I started to get more serious. We had serious competition and basically had a cold war for 2 years. This is the point where I made my account, I had SP for about 2 years at this point so I decided to post my planes. I never posted often, and I was rarely on the website.

I don't know why I started to go on the site daily, probably because I wanted to see other peoples builds, but I just started to talk to people and upvote stuff. I really only started this year with daily being on the site, and I don't plan to stop (Maybe when summer vacation comes, but idk)

I'm going to be honest here, I'm pretty bad. I like to take things into my own hands and I have definitely had trouble with the mods (I feel really bad about my behavior.) Long story short, I got banned for 5 days, which i'll be the first to admit, is very reasonable after everything I've done. I think I've annoyed every mod I've come in contact with, which is not something to be proud of. So now, I just stop trying to do anything crazy and if any mod looks at this, which i doubt, all I have to say is I'm sorry

I never realized how I impacted some people on SP until I was banned, because @ViridiCinis was telling me everything that was going on and people asking where I was, which is pretty cool. I never really expected that I made that much of an impact that people would make 2 forums asking where I was.

So, now I'm here, and for the one person who read the whole thing, thanks. I love SimplePlanes and I love the community and thanks for all the fun. I'm not done and can't wait to see whats next

    The Simple Cold War.
    More precisely, it's the Simple Planes race (skipped the arms race and the space race).

    You wanna know how I found out about SP?

    Well, it was months ago when I saw this video by @WeaselZone and I got into it until I found out that he retired from YouTube.

    And that's how I started my SP carrer
