my real nickname from university based on certain events and my middle

| Are You a Member of any Group in TW ( If Yes , can you play with other teams ) : | I try to avoid becoming a member of any paramilitary organizations especially those islamic fundamentalist jihad aluminum can recycler groups! If any for real I guess Dragon Elite? I've played with those guys a lot at the Home Sector |
| Tournaments ( Major / Minor ) |
I played on thois one at a local BBS with 3 people ,I kicked arse!$!@#$ . HHT '99 & '00 ... When I'm playing I generally play at the Home Sector title game which normally has good competition |
| Name 3-5 players you like to corp with in a game ? | There's bucket loads I like to play with . as long as they are good team members . I'll play with them and are willing to listen to advice |
| What Playing style do you prefer ( blue/red .. aggressive/passive ) ? | Initially red money making . Then I'll go hunting/aggressive. Alignment doesn't matter then . I have secret desires to just be a killer from the start. I probably don't have the finger speed for it. Plus I secretly dislike the way tradewars is turning into a more arcade like game all the time :( |
| What players influenced your style of playing (mentors/Opponents) | Hmm this is a hard one. I started playing local boards and generally kicked butt against average players. To get "better" I learned from web pages/online resources! So thanks to Gypsy's webpage and some field guide (X something?) I remeber learning alot from.. People like guardian, hellcat, rawhead have certainly influenced me as opponents and team members alike. |
