Greetings all. Its December 31st. That means 2016 is coming to an end. The crew and I are getting together tonight for a big party to usher out 2016. It has been a year of extremes. There have been epic highs and some pretty epic lows. Other than a decent paying job and meeting my future wife, it has been kind of an Empire strikes back kinda year. The Spartan community is at a low point while the Infinity community is growing and has had some pretty awesome stuff happen this year. This has me in a weird spot. I am part of a community that has momentum and is growing at a rapid pace. It is full of positivity and generally speaking a really good bunch of players. It has a company that actively supports its community by going to shows and having a very tight and active tournament scene. On the other hand the energy and momentum has kind of gone out of the Spartan community sails. There is a lot of uncertainty and a lot of ill will from the player base right now. There are signs of life and I hope this means the energy of 2 years ago makes a resurgence. Lets take a look back and I will have some resolutions as well as some stuff I would like to see in 2017.
