| First Name : | Remco (Wierd huh?) |
| When did you start Playing Tradewars : | First started about 6 years ago back in the 'ol days of BBSs... loved the game, but never went very far with it due to lack of online time. Started playing properly about 2 years ago ( Jan 1999). |
| How Long have you Played Tradewars : | Probably looking at roughly two years, I've never gone officially into retirement but there's been periods where I haven't been playing... |
| Alias Used in the Game : | Xide - never used anything else and never will! :) |
| How I Choose my Alias : | Can't for the life of me remember! Somehow thought it up about 4-5 years ago and stuck with it since... And no, I'm not cross-eyed :) |
| Are You a Member of any Group in TW ( If Yes , can you play with other teams ) : | Not in a permanent corp yet - I've been spending alot of time checking out various teams and seeing which ones fit with me :) |
| Tournaments ( Major / Minor ) |
Two tournaments on Merlin's
Keep back in 1999 , HHT '00, Top Gun , and I guess you could count the league game I'm in now :) |
| Name 3-5 players you like to corp with in a game ? | I have to say by far the
best player I've corped with yet has to be hELLCAT, although he often corps
with the more experienced players so I don't think I'd get many chances there! Also hold alot of respect for Trahern (old time buddy), and Bud, who's been teaching me a few tricks (the hard way heh). |
| What Playing style do you prefer ( blue/red .. aggressive/passive ) ? | Originally I started playing a passive blue, just happy to build my planets .. but then one day someone killed me in a really sad way (won't go into detail) and something snapped... so since then I've been playing mostly as a very aggressive red - although I'm looking at going blue again soon! |
| What players influenced your style of playing (mentors/Opponents) | Again, have to put hELLCAT and Bud in here, also I've picked up alot of neat tricks from other great players such as Hekate and Rolodex. Most of my experience comes from experimentation and just asking out how people killed me etc :) |
| Helpers / Programs Used : | Only my own - I'm just finishing work now on TWX, which I should be releasing soon! Never plan on using anything else! :) |
