I'd like to start by introducing myself. I go by TheEC (The Emperor's Champion) on forums and online, but my fellow friends and gamers know me as Chris.
I casually started playing GW Games in 98' and become more involved in '01 when I meet a solid group of gamers in the Frederick, MD Area. Overtime, we formed into a core group of likeminded gamers who not only gamed together, but partied with each other. Eventually, we decided to create a club in order to organize the local 40k gamers and create an environment that would see our hobby prosper. We called ourselves, FAGs, which stood for the Frederick Area Gamers.
The Frederick Area Gamers became a well organized club supporting all things Warhammer 40k (Games Day, Tournaments, BBQs, and other events). FrAG's ranks swelled and participation was at an all time high. When the clubs one year anniversary came up, the current club leadership decided it was time to have an open election in which all FrAGs could play a role in leadership and help decide the future of the Frederick Area Gamers. Unfortunately, this opened up our club and allowed it to be abducted and held for ransom (literally) by gamers of a different yolk. Not only was our club high jacked, but so was our local gaming area.
Long story short, FrAG's core contingency wrestled back control of the club and shed the dead weight we all knew as Hobbytown USA and the FAIL Club. Through encouraging a greater understanding of our hobby and by fostering positive relationships with other gamers, FrAG has evolved and matured far beyond their previous companions. The Frederick Area Gamers (FrAG) now consists of a smaller, more competitive group of gamers who actively participates with and in other events held by gaming clubs throughout the greater Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington D.C. area.
In the end, I am proud to call my self a FAG, a Frederick Area Gamer!
