Message: <blockquote data-quote="VoodooGroves" data-source="post: 247645" data-attributes="member: 5520">Silly storyI put "close friends since school / college" and that is essentially true...however.The core started out as about 6 people in early highschool (mid 80s - right after I moved to North Carolina).  Two of us went to the same school.  Two more I brought into the fold from my sunday school classes at church (no lie).  The fifth of the original core I met online on a WWIV BBS looking for a gaming group to play (wait for it) Battledroids.  The sixth and final person was added shortly therafter and went to the same high school as one of my sunday-school friends.Two moved away, some of us are just not as close as we used to be.  However, the guy I met online playing Battledroids was actually the best man at my wedding in 1998 and even though our silly-ass schedules don't permit alot of gaming, we're still in touch.Everyone else was a follow-on after that, either added during high-school or college time period.  We really haven't had alot of new additions that didn't know one or multiple of us during college (and that was 10 years ago).  Occaisionally someone new shows up but nearly invariably, he or she turns out to be a friend of a friend or some other wacky relative back into the group.  At this point our "group" is really at any one point in time about 5-6 groups but the 20-30 folks who make up the "parent" group are generally from those sources.  I think maybe there are a handful of folks who came into the fold later on of by other means.</blockquote>
