DC23 and MechaPinoy at peace

This is just a quick response to what MechaPinoy founder Richie Ramos has just announced at MechaPinoy's website.

For those who has been friends with me since I started the hobby back in 2008, you guys pretty much know my personal history with MechaPinoy since 2009. I am a proud Filipino / Pinoy Gunpla modeler but unfortunately I had conflicts ( some silly ) with their group dating back December 2009.

I need not narrate the whole thing and I actually deleted ALL my rant posts pertaining to my past conflicts with their organization. I had a meeting with Richie Ramos a couple of Saturdays ago and it was actually my first time to talk with him in person. The lunch meeting was simply to try to put our past conflicts behind us and just try to promote the hobby.

Anyways I together with the support of the whole MAC forums community would try to work with MechaPinoy to help strengthen the Gunpla community most specially here in the Philippines. I'll leave you with the link to their announcement at MechaPinoy's website...

Important Announcement: MAC And MP At Peace

P.S. To Richie, GMAC is the Facebook group page by Vanz Hilario... MAC ( without the G ) or Mech Arts Community ( Facebook ) is THE FORUMS. :)

EDIT: My title is different than Richie / MechaPinoy's entry as I personally think that our community at MAC forums generally does not view MechaPinoy the same way as I view them before. So I am keeping our forums ( MAC ) out of the title at least as the 2 year feud was mostly between me, Richie Ramos and a few officers and veteran members of the 10 year old forums MechaPinoy.

Territorial animals in all of us... the gist of it all.

Territorial animals always defend the area in which they live and on which they depend for resources. This is also the case with humans, in the office at work, at your village or any community. This is basically the " rookie " tactics in sports and the " trainee treatment " in the office. You have to simply go through being " new " in the territory and bow to your seniors.

So what if you did not bow to the other seniors / veterans ever ? well you get to experience more " rookie tactics " in the locker room and you get cold treatment in the office. And what if you actually got better faster than the vets that you ignored? Well, they will see it as a sign of defiance, arrogance, invasion of their territory and a non-opportunity for them.

Haiz, this is basically the world we live on, these is basically animal and human nature and this is basically the gist of it all. This post is highly inspired by a friend's post Nath aka sacrophage, here is the link to his post...
