I loved it because I could be social and not have to leave my house. Also the gamemodes were really super impressive and the administration and team were really super cool. Have you heard my story about Master of Puppets?
From the GMT 5 year raffle thread
Okay, I sorta have a confession to go with this post here.
So, I was playing GMod Tower like years ago, before the servers shut down. Master of Puppets was around and I was gonna play a game of Virus since it was new and I wanted to try it out. So, during the game, I started o daydream and think about people who might have happened to enter the server with the same name as one of the admins or something, it was just a thought. Did it rename you or did you get a number next to your name or what? So, before I went back to the tower, I decided to change my name to “Master of Puppets”, to see what would happen. I had no intention of acting like an admin or anything, I just wanted to see what would happen.
Got back to the tower and hilarity ensued.
Everyone on the server was jumping around in their chairs going “Omg two MoPs” and there were contests and quizzes to find out the real one from the fake one. This continued for about thirty minutes, and there were two more Master of Puppets before it all ended.
The most memorable part of all this is when I decided to check into my suite.
I walked down the 1-5 hallway and found him staring at the floor, in all of his moderator glory, probably AFK. So I decide to inspect his playermodel. I get real close to him and in his line of sight and I start looking at his face, when a minute later he comes to life and the chat reads
Master of Puppets: YOU
Instinctively, any moderator who calls out at you in all caps is gonna make you shake in your boots. I lose it and make a dash for my suite and lock myself in. I lean against the door and sigh in relief when he noclips in to my suite and has me pinned against my door.
He wanted answers, explanations, anything to do with why I decided to share the same name with him. I wasn’t prepared to respond to this if he confronted me, but I decided to say “I just joined…”
He promptly said “Oh” and dropped the issue.
I’m actually suprised to say that I’m alive and well today.
Sorry MoP
Just being on the server, you never knew what kind of hilarious or strange thing would happen that day, largely in part to everything bein’ freakin awesome all the time.
