Aetolia's Dad

Alela

Happy Father's Day to Aetolia's Dad, @Mazzion. Whether he's blown you up with old singularities or taught you a fancy jig, I think it's important to recognize his paternal influence. So! Let's all give it up for the old man! Share your favorite Mazzion memory below!

Rihrin

I'd post a picture of him from one of our lunch meetings - but honestly? That's my favorite memory. Going to lunch with a bunch of other Aetolians, with him along with us, and just having a blast. Happy father's day old fart!

Toz

@Mazzion is a class act through and through.

I remember his old singularities killing 19 people, all enemies, using me as bait singularity inspector down below.

He also necrosis'd the one time I premoted at him. I heard rumors that he started RPing since I left but I refuse to let such slander stain the good man's reputation.

Finally, I leave you with words of wisdom from old darkie web, spoken by someone whose name I have completely forgotten: "Some of you have never had Mazzion [screw] your mom, and it shows."

Happy father's day, pops!

Mazzion

Happy father's day to all the people out there. This is real sweet Alela! I always tell people, it is the cool people like you that keep me coming back over and over. Try and just be there for your kids, it is 90% of being a father. Support them in whatever they do, and you will be the most happy person in the world.

@Mazzion we were needlessly at odds for years, and my only regret where you are concerned is that we hadn't been. I'm glad @Bulrok opened up Switzerland for the both of us. While i've never had a shortage of father figures, you're easily one of my favorites and really are the coolest gaming dad around. Happy Father's day dude.

Sadly, I have never really interacted with you in the 15 years or so since I started playing (even if 7 or 8 of them I wasn't around). Everyone says you're cool though so I guess I'll have to trust them. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Not really a funny story, but when I was pushing for exploration areas, Mazz lent me his snowglobe so I could grab the rooms there. He's always one to just help someone out out of the kindness of his heart and the love of the community. Very selfless, nice guy.

Ah, remember the bullfrogs, @Mazzion for I will always remember the bullfrogs...

My favorite memory with @Mazzion was when we were mid-route to a lesser and I banished him on accident. Stopped us all. Lol. 

But really, you're an awesome person Mazz and someone I look up to and try to emulate. Happy father's day.

Some of my most cherished memories with @Mazzion were when I was still on Shadow side and we would roll into Enorian sewers to raid the city. I want to say there were a few times where we obliterated all the guards and it was Mazz, me, Kadvar, maybe Desian, Ramali and Kikon too? just walking around Four Corners like free men, cuz nobody dared touch us so long as we had big bad Mazz. After coming back from my hiatus, it's been real good to see a friendly face around - even when I'm busy dying to you at foci battles.

When my character was still new, I remember @Mazzion giving me like 10 credits just for something silly or newbish I was saying or doing at the time. Also all the times that he's one of the few consistent leaders that will charge in and lead Shadow to make things competitive at lessers and such. A truly classic and old school Aetolian.

That being said...You're not my real dad! Happy Father's Day.

Lin

There has never been a point in Lin's life in which Mazzion could not simply cast his terrible eyes upon her and vaporize her with a single attack, yet I remember hanging out with Laelio in the Tundra, when he swings through our room, only to double back, bow his head and say "hail to the Nightmare's Eye" and leave. We have never shared another word since.

10/10 absolutely classy

For a long time I denied Mazzion as my dad, citing @Toz as my one true Aetolia dad. But as they say (or maybe I made this up), the father of my father is also my father. Mazzion has led me to many deaths, many victories, and far more laughs. All jokes aside, though, this player has been an example of maturity to a large section of the game. I can easily think of a few times when gamer tantrums were running high and tables were being flipped where Mazzion's reactions would curtail it (in myself or others, it never mattered who it was) without ever adding to the fuel. I can't think of a single other player I've seen capable of this, and in that way @Mazzion is the Aetolian Game Dad.

No matter when, no matter where, no matter how - Mazz is somewhere, doing our moms.

Happy belated Father's Day, dude. Slap Sai again for trying to hug you when you get a chance.

Maz is one of the few people who can spam their location alias and I'll drop everything to run at it, no questions asked (even if I know I'm running into an explosion set by him). Happy Father's day, old man. Thanks for making our game a little brighter, and always better.

Pls, don't drop your pants and run at Mazz. We can't risk him getting scarred with the sight of a pantless Troll Commander.
