[The] Engagement
Mary Chan
I'm (still) eMarrying Rylde.
(Blank space provided to help you breathe.)
(Breathe in.)
(Breathe out.)
Okay. We can talk now. (Or rather, I can ramble.)
I know that a bunch of you are against this... "I can do better," "What do I see in him?" yeah, yeah.
But I adore him. There's something about him that sparks my passion for the game and the people in it too.
Rylde is one of a kind, well, more like one of a type of kin😛
a Jerk with a Heart of Gold**.
**Disclaimer: Beware of tv trope links. Tropes are very addictive. It's an effective and entertaining time killer comparable to all those links on wiki and the recommended videos on youtube. You'll intend to spend 3 min on a page or video, then you click a link, open another tab, and another, and another, and before you know it it's 3 hours later.. lolwut?!? Do NOT click on my trope links unless you have time to waste.**
Enough of Rylde now, he's got his problems/issues, I've got mine. I have my taints. I'm self-centered, I love in-game attention, and persistence wears me down (to an extent). I basically developed or uncovered a giant ego of my own. Oh, and I have an eFetish for hard-hitting tanks, most likely a power complex of sorts. (Trope: Power is Sexy.) Yeah, I've fallen for Rylde.. This love that we have, it's just as much as my fault as it is his.
K, back-stories/developments & how it ties in with my dearest Rylde.
Self-centeredness: One of my far fetched random ideas/dreams is to run off to some other country with another guy and have Rylde as CP declare war on that nation to win me back. Conceited, I know, but it is in the realm of possibility for me to be a Helen of Troy of eCanada. I also thought of giving Rylde a different task of winning 3 CHs in my name (as 1ronman won 3 BHs in four days for me in V1, and those were basically CHs at the time). I thought of making a show out of it, but then someone like Ralph Kline would snipe my poor sucker and he'd be bankrupt.
eRep Attention: Publicly, first from 1ronman when his article was all about me. Given, it was a one line article including the title. (I'm so special xD)
I think Crisfire & TCO continued my attention-whoring when I was a recruitment feature for TCO while I was in CAF... Yeah... The old days of CAF vs. TCO mud slinging were fun times. (Anyone remember the hot tub? lawls) Similarly, Rylde gives me special feelings, quite sweet when he confesses things like this:
It also feels good that I have a PM thread with Rylde that's about 6 months old. To put it in another perspective, this PM thread is older than Clan Wolf's current Party President. It's definitely a keeper with all of Rylde's humour and awesome one-liners. (;
Indeed. No one can quite measure up. (;
Persistence: I greatly admire persistence and perseverance. Once again, TCO members demonstrated it as they managed to sway me away from the CAF to join their ranks for a summer. (Coincidentally, Rylde returned Crimson... while drunk. I'm not surprised. No one sheds blood and gets drunk while on eRep like Rylde.)
Rylde has been asking me to be his ewoman for over a year. Skype logs date back to November 2011, but Rylde's not much of a Skype user. 70% of the time he ends up on Skype is because he's been drinking, compared to the 30% on IRC.* He's been looking my way probably ever since he recruited me into MDP. Given, it was on and off; he did get drunk and propose to sweeta. He's got quite an Indian charm.
That's what, 2 years going on 3? That's an eLifetime for some players.
*Not actual statistics but mere guestimations.*
So, why now?
I guess I could lead Rylde on for another year, I've already been doing that for two. But, I am a romantic sucker and with his recent three-time CP victory, it falls in line with everything else he suggested and what I wanted a year ago.
I refused Rylde because he wasn't "good enough" or rather, he didn't impress enough for me to be his woman. 1ronman set a high standard of difficulty for any future man of mine to accomplish.
Now that I look back, I think Rylde has accomplished a lot more than we imagined a year ago.

[1/04/12 3:44:56 PM] Rylde: maybe I'm your best match after all
[1/04/12 3:45:15 PM] Me: [1ronman] won me over by winning 3 BHs in my name 😛
[1/04/12 3:47:13 PM] Rylde: lawl
[1/04/12 3:47:24 PM] Rylde: so what you want in your name
[1/04/12 3:47:28 PM] Rylde: CP victory lol
[1/04/12 3:51:12 PM] Rylde: nah to bold
[1/04/12 3:51:38 PM] Rylde: i just ask as a good friend who sometimes pisses ya off thats half a emarriage right there lmao
[1/04/12 4:33:05 PM] Me: ;p;
[1/04/12 4:33:07 PM] Me: lol
[1/04/12 4:33:41 PM] Rylde: so are u my woman yet?
[1/04/12 4:33:47 PM] Me: nope
Mary Chan
Will you eMarry me?
So an Indian and an Asian walk into a chapel.
Day 1,871 [1/03/12] Me: Yes.
Rylde got bolder, and this fortune favours the bold. He started and finished wars, protected the country from super-power wipes. He's a master of mercenaries, 3-time CP of eCanada. He's the best that I love, abrasiveness and all.
"Just remember everybody, my woman." - Rylde (On Northern Exposure - September 13, 2012)
If you're still concerned about my wellbeing and future with Rylde, talk to shoi. He will likely be organizing a legion of people to hunt down Rylde if anything bad happens to me. Seriously though, don't worry, I can take care of myself, especially with the likes of Rylde.
On a final note, Rylde, if I didn't have you...

Love you all,
- Mary Chan
IRC Wedding to be announced... if I can get Rylde to agree and Goran Thrax around to eMarry us. We might get a Bitter Wedding Speech (trope) or two, but we’re gonna make an effing awesome Battle Couple (trope).

Of course, all the fun will go when you get married, he'll just get even more drunk and fat, and you'll just get frustrated and have dalliances with real men. Like.......Chance......maybe......
Anyhoo, good luck with that, I think you'll need it, both of you

Congratz Rylde!
So, so sorry, Mary 😛

Can somebody please tell me exactly which part of this I actually give one single f*ck about? I would take 10 more society killing Rolos to get rid of one shamelessly self-promoting Mary. Sweet and holy Moses, 2nd biggest ego in this entire game.
