It's crazy that we've gotten to a point where we're looking at entering year number two. Most feds aren't that lucky.
In many ways, this is still a community that I feel is in it's infancy, still planting it's feet.
Yet, in just a tad over 7 months, we've managed to create a ton of memories and continue to do so. This year, the people have shown me how special they are in what they bring to the table, made me proud to be the leader.
I'm not the greatest fedhead in the world and I won't claim to be, but I'm among the most passionate you'll find. I'm absolutely crazy about this fed and will never stop raving about the talent and awesome contributions that each and everyone one of you give to this place. It never fails to put a smile on my face to see people absolutely crush it in their writing for UCI.
Simply put, this is special. We're still a couple weeks from the new year, but what you guys have shown in your RP efforts this week definitely has me feeling as optimistic as ever.
Of course, I'm still going over some things for Black Mass and the show will be up tomorrow and OTY discussion will begin Tuesday or Wednesday, but I just really feel like you all deserve a round of applause and a big fat fucking thank you from me for the opportunity to create this world with you all.

UCI was founded on the basis of good sportsmanship and fair play, it was founded to be inclusive and welcoming. To see it go from strength to strength over the past year warms my heart and instills it with hope. Thank you Spence for the past year. Here's to 2017!

Everyone absolutely killed it this past week leading up to Black Mass... an amazing show, all the matches are well worth reading in detail. Spencer, you may say you're not the best fed head, but dude, honestly... there are few better, in my experience. I have to echo the sentiments above: UCI wouldn't be what it is now without you and your admin team. Nor would it be what it is without the individual and varied talents of the handlers and match writers. We came together, we hit the ground running, and we're still building momentum. This has been a hell of a ride so far, and I can't wait to see what the new year brings. Thank you for providing us all a place to be as weird -- or not -- as we want to. <3

I-i think half the multiverse just exploded... Seriously though, I love all you old folks, also what few fellow younglings are here.

Big shout out to the people who have made this place really tick.
For initial creative brainstorming, thanks you to people like Howard Black, Crow McMorris, and all those who had a hand in crafting the lore that started it all.
For graphic work, a big shout out to Crow McMorris for majority of PPV banners and website design (shoutout to Gravedigger in his contributions as well). Also, thank you to Teo for the creation of UCI's championship graphics.
Thank you to all admins for making sure that we stay unified and on the same page in keeping this place healthy and respectful OOC.
Another thank you to everyone who has ever helped welcome newcomers as well as those who decide to take a chance on me and our fed by choosing this as the place you compete.
Another thank you to Gable and Benjy for deciding to band with me to start this place up. You may not be in ownership roles any longer, but you definitely played a major part in getting us off the ground.
A huge thank you as well to Andre Holmes for providing big help with making sure we thrive. Without you, shows wouldn't pop like they do and the writing to most main events wouldn't be what they have been. When I first started, I had some pretty badly formatted postings for shows since my computer wanted to crap out. Andre's helped a ton with that whole results board as well as things like keeping championship histories up to date.

A great company hands down and I'm pleased to be able to compete here as well as WCF, without there being a drag out fight over the fact. I've been in places that feuded with another before and there was a lot of, "HEY YOU POACHED MY GUYS" arguments, but WCF and UCI can indeed work together... Maybe that's just the future I see, I don't know... Wishful thinking I suppose. lol
