As an outsider who's played this for 2 years, I remember the "good old" days when the Spectres just seemed like a bunch of elitist d*****bags who didn't give a **** about anyone who wasn't in their "clique." I personally like the new group much better. Still undoubtedly good, but also willing to reach out to the rest of the community.
That final paragraph resonates with me. Before, I didn't give a flying **** about joining Spectre. After playing more games with Max, Moby, Clyde, Dragon, and others, I really want to 1) See if I "have what it takes to be a fellow Spectre" and 2) Just be a bigger part of the community. I feel like becoming part of Spectre would help with that.
Basically, if you love this game and this community, despite all the glitches and BS the game throws at you.
You're on the right path into becoming a fellow Spectre.
