Lordy lordy lordy. It's good to know that the boys are still well loved enough to draw random commentary from the peanut gallery.
Fix is what she is. A very international alliance of good friends, occasional lovers and infrequent nemesissies (Hi Nez! ) She's survived at least 4 generations of names and faces. She's also been the launching point for other famous groups like Outbreak via Battle Angels.
But mostly, she is a grand conglomeration of people who are playing to have fun. How else could an alliance survive and even thrive in the environments that FIX has existed in? Theres got to be something good going on there, otherwise their slackjawed, alcoholic, slope browed pervert of a recruiter would have never been able to pack FIX with such awesome corps. From the days of Boldyn on down to today's Jozzie, fleet leaders seek out, not only stuff to shoot at. But also build the bonds of loyalty and friendship.
In my years of FIXness, I've had the chance to make friends with folks from all over the world. And horrify them. Not to mention getting to learn alot about different peoples and places. The great x-mas camps in HED, raiding Catch and all points North. Passing out drunk in enemy held territory (or in 9cg during a war). And thats barely the tip of the iceberg.
Say what you will about FIX. She's won wars, she's lost wars. She's died and risen from the ashes under the helm of vastly different leaders. She's existed in fame, infamy and obscurity. And yet, here she is after all this time. It's not due to the efforts of one person, or even one corp in FIX. It's because the spirit of FIX has survived in her members, new and old. Friendship. Loyalty. Honor. Fun.
Those are the ties that bind. And those ties have kept FIX together through events that would and have destroyed many others. In the face of that sort of history and tradition, the turds cast by your average CAOD booty sniffer don't really matter much. Dross in the face of almost a half decade of pride and survival.
Kudos dear FIXians. Keep the faith and stay true to your ideals. Fight for what you believe in, you'll be amazed at the results.
P.S. Lub you too Kobby.
