Okay. About a year or so ago, when NWN was introduced into the world, I frequented it on a certain server. And on this certain server was a another frequent player who also plays Tribes. He goes by the name of Smasho, some of you might know him. Anywho, he was in the STD clan at first, moved around a little bit, then went to OsO during our Planetside Days.
Smasho brought me into the Tribes universe by suggesting I play the demo. This was way back when. He introduced me the basics and now and then I would play the demo (amazing that some people still play it).
From what Smasho has said, he is a pretty good all around player and a good HO. He has told me that people love to train with him, dueling and skiing, because they usually end up getting a lot better, or get their asses whipped by him in full measure. I guess I was one of the two, but I'll be humble and won't answer that because frankly I do not know.
Once Tribes 2 came out for free I had a field day with it. I got it as soon as I could and tried out a wide variety of the local servers, including Dedicated Katabatic, a bunch of Noob servers, a range of "vehicles" servers, and bigmonkeys treehouse. I've had several clans want to take me in, I've never really asked to be in one myself. Right now I'm in SoH (Sentinels of Havoc). Hopefully in T:v STD will come back up, otherwise me and Smasho will stay in OsO when they move over. I might stay with SoH if the clan actually holds its ground, or I might join a clan someone requested I join (I've been helping him setup for T:V mapping, since Ut2k4 mapping and T:V mapping aren't much different, and I excel in making UT2k4 maps) (which probably means I'll be making maps for the community. I hope I don't dissappoint you guys!
)
I kinda follow Smasho around. I look up to him alot. And I think I've taken to Tribes because of it. It's the most addictive game I've played. I almost play it 24/7 during some weeks. **geek** lol
Also I've tried my hand at Tribes Legends. Great game, it's free right now and hopefully it will stay free. IMHO Skiing is a bit faster and more noticable in T1 than T2, but yet in T2 you have more control over movement.
So that's my story. Not exactly a n00b but compared to you guys who have been around a while I bet you think I am. I know everything about basic gameplay. I know little about scripts and mods. But I have seen the nasty things people can pull off with them. So I'm not exactly new to the scene. And hopefully I'll be serving up dust come T:V.
Amadues, you're humble reply to this post will render whether I respect you or not. So think smart.
