Long Form Answers

Best skill?

that would have to be mages. I usually get people so mad at my excessive use of mages that they spend all their time killing my mage towers, only to have the ogres blizzed yet again by my endless backup mages. then I send a group into their base and they think they've got easy kills but a pack of knights comes charging in to protect against the unlusted ogres. I can hear them RAGE through my monitor

Worst “skill”?

the GOW map. I don't much care for it but I play it once in a while (less than half of my total games)

If you could change one thing about War2 what would it be?

make slow a spell that casts in a 3x3 range; any enemy in the range would be slowed. alternatively make rangers and axers a real unit, especially rangers. like a long range footman. or trade flame shield for haste. all these to make humans more equal. imagine a hasted invisible mage. oh god I'm hard

Favorite strategy?

anything and everything mage. slow a dragon and attack it with one mage then heal him while he can still see (LOL), invis a mage and bomb the peons from a spot he still can't see (LOL), find a gaggle of idle ogres and self-blizz one mage and use another to attract them all to their deaths (LOL), piss them off enough so they target a mage, slow the attackers and run the mage away while knights beat them to death (LOL)

Anything you regret?

about a week ago I left a game because I didn't get the ally I wanted. it ruined a perfectly good 2v2. that was classless of me and I apologized

Confessions

one time at bible camp I saw another boy's penis

Most memorable games/times?

well my greatest game ever might have been just about last week. me and 2 people half as good as me have been playing 2v1s for a few weeks now on the map Invasion BNE and the greatest one took literally 2-3 hours on fastest. I'm not really an aggressor so I like to starve the other guy out and I ended up literally mining TWO 600k mines entirely on top of FOUR 100k mines and ended with 1448 kills and 315 razings. my eyes were in pain after that game. I've had other amazing games, mostly 1v1 with my equal, Seuss

What makes you memorable?

I'm the guy who never played war2 online until 2007, hosts games on unique maps, likes uneven numbered teams, fights against comps, has only one username ever, is the best Alleria RPG player evar, plays humans on everything other than GOW, will never be a great gow player because I don't want to be, and gives cookie cutter lust-and-go orc semi-amateurs nightmares about mages

Who was the best of all time?

I have no idea so I'll use this to say that I'm fortunate to have met players on the server who are pure class. they know who they are because I keep playing with them. they're what makes war2 fun, not people who just sit in chat all day saying "1v1 or dodge" "1-0 player x" despite hacking to get the win and other such garbage

Describe your “career” from start to finish.

I played war2 offline reguarly in the late 90s and even designed a campaign and my own maps/unit properties in my childlike crappiness. I always wanted to play online and I just happened to learn of war2.ru on another forum I go to. so I like playing maps that are fresh or like missions, with players that are into it like I am. that's what I think war2 is all about
