Summary

GingfulGlider was a long term member of the community, who was well-known for controversial comments and actions, which ended up getting himself permanently banned from the server. He was also an avid pvper and had a very mixed reputation. Some players hated him while others considered him to be a very nice person

TNRR

Ging joined TNRR at some point. He eventually was promoted to the rank of capal. After a high capal position was left vacant,he was elected high capal of TNRR. Later,during the wars of independence (TPE&TRT-TNRR war) he sided with TNRR. He participated in multiple raids on TPE's Fort Turtle where despite scoring many kills, he was not able to gain much for TNRR. At the First Battle of Aire the HMS Queen Mary II (CosmicKingJoel's ship) which was crewed by CosmicKingJoel and GingfulGlider was significantly damaged by a small hastily set up coastal battery manned by turseturtle. The ship was saved from being sunk by GingfulGlider's quick thinking when he lept overboard and successfully forced the crew of the battery to retreat. GingfulGlider also assisted the defence of Aire in the Second Battle of Aire.

Legacy

He is still loved by many curent former players of PMC. This is clearly shown by the amount of players who vouched for him in his 2 unable appeals. In both appeals, many players vouched for him to the point where staff had to close the threads. There were many pages of people vouching for him. While he was a constraversial player, he had an overall very positive impact on both the server as well as many players on the server. His legacy unfortunately has not been as well remembered, especially because the majority of the players he had the chance to have a positive impact have either been banned recently or have quit.
