My new found respect for a pillar of the muscle community Options

[stoneyface]

so i have to tell you about an awesome experience i had with General Veers. I have always have a deep respect for veers because of what he does for the community and for the UoM site. but i had a recent exchange with Veers that really blew me away.

late last year (i don't actually remember what month) i traded the 6 purple board game figures to Veers for an agreed amount of 2 fleshies to 1 purple. so, for those math challenged out there 12 fleshies is what Veers agreed to trade to me and i gave him my list of needs for my second complete flesh set i am working on. so, time goes by.

Veers becomes really busy with school, real life, the website, etc. i am a very patient guy and from my past experiences with Veers i knew he wouldn't forget about me and would get to the 12 figures when he had time. so, he sent me a note about a month ago, right before the UoM t-shirt contest located here ===> UoM muscle memory t-shirt contest

he said basically that he had not forgotten about me and that he would send me a "few extra" for the long wait. i thought that was cool and expected maybe 20 muscles total if he was feeling generous. in addition to that because i was one of the entries in the t-shirt contest, i was going to getting 5 random muscles for my entry.

here is where it gets good.

two days ago, i got a package in the mail from Veers. a rather think padded envelope to be exact. like "omg this is waaaaaay more muscles than what he owed me" sized envelope. i was shocked. at first i was sure that he sent the wrong set of muscles to me. but after a quick note thanking him for his extreme generosity and his sheer awesomeness i knew that i got the right ones. after a quick count i realized that he sent me 62 flesh muscles + the 5 random colored muscles from the contest. i am still in awe. i have not sorted thru them yet but i have a sneaking suspicion that he sent me every muscle that i needed to complete my set. this is one cool dude.

i would personally and publicly acknowledge the overwhelming awesomeness and generosity of one of my favorite people in this muscle community!

General Veers you are awesome and I think everyone should know how cool you are!!!

there, i feel better

I love stories like this. With the exception of a few assholes, I would say the muscle community is full of good guys and generous people. But best of all, full of good friends.

With all the work he put into the community, I nominate Veers as the "hub" of muscle greatness.

Yeah, Veers is a major dude alright. I'm not sure what percentage of my M.U.S.C.L.E. collection used to live at his house, but it's a pretty significant number for sure.

Chad is definitely a stand up guy and i love hearing things like this instead of the rubbish usually associated with other squabbles toward him. thanks for sharing.

If anyone wants to send me 5 grape figures (how often do these things turn up? I've seen more SCs than grape board game figures this year ffs) they can have 60 fleshies too

i do have one extra set of the green board game figures i would trade you!

Awesome story and deserved. May seem silly, but Veers was actually part of a big reason I stuck with this board in the very beginning. He was one of the first to respond to my earliest post, and while no doubt seemed unremarkable to him, his interest was the part of the tipping point that made me come back. If no one had shown any interest I could easily have given it a miss and let LRG go by.

Not to mention a source for some of the best entertainment this place has to offer! Great guy & great ball buster!! I have probably laughed harder @ his comments & what not than anything else here. A stand up guy as well.

Also thanks to this thread his noggin won't be able to fit through the front door.

Veers,is by far one of the best members here!

I am a huge fan of his myself!!!!!


CHEERS!

[General Veers]

I have worked very hard to build up the persona of asshole. I would like this thread closed immediately as it is undoing years of hard work.

Thank you all for the kind words – very unnecessary, but very appreciated.

Good call but that answer was in his original post......


Sorry Veers but the title has been taken and split amongst the community. We're all biggest douche!
