I think this would be a nice idea so that new members/prospects/haters/flamers/vegetarians can figure out who is who in BP, and kinda get an idea about what to expect from someone who is an existing member. Anyone can do this is they want... I just really don't mind sharing some things and for some of you this could be a bit enlightening on how I operate.
In-Guild Name: AbYsMaL
In-IRC Name: [BP]AbYsMaL, BaconPower, PoweredBacon, BaconPineapple... there is kind of a thing here. Let's see who can figure it out first.
In-Game Name: BP AbYsMaL
Top Three Favorite Heroes (Most to kinda most): Serena, Ter Adun, Lance
Least Favorite Hero: Eladwen
Preferred Playstyle/deck Archetype: Lance Recursion (Recursion means the ability to reuse a card over and over again to achieve a desired, and usually annoying, effect... I like looping Oliver Fagin in my Lance).
Least favorite Playstyle: Deck Mill
Favorite Card: Serena Thoughtripper Original Art Foiled
Favorite Art: Majiya Alt Art Foiled
How did I join the Shadow Era Community: I started out in Shadow Era trying to find a MtG card game. Originally I chose Rogue as not only were they new, but because Serena was interesting (I recognized deck mill... not hand mill). Kinda ended up being a bit of a mistake, and then I went on to slowly acquiring not only every card, but slowly learning by myself for the most part how to play each and every hero. I ended up joining BP just before CotC became an official set, and have been here ever since.
Why BP: It was active, the joining conditions weren't picky, and they weren't really into ratings like most other guilds were/are/will be/sorta will be.
What is your favorite thing to do in Shadow Era: I like looping things. Something about getting more use out of one card makes me feel really good. If I can loop that same Furrion Terror 20 times in a single game, or steal your allies with a single Oliver Fagin that I have in my hand, or find a way to cripple 8 of your allies with two Crippling Blows, I feel that I probably got the game in the bag and you probably aren't gonna get real far in a game with me... or you are at least in it for a long haul.
What do you hate most in Shadow Era: Either slow updates (Man I chose the wrong game...) or trashtalkers. I will gladly go out of my way to torture a trashtalker, even going so far as using known bugs to make the game a living hell for you.
What type of games do you like to play: Mostly RPGs. I like strategy as well, but let's face it... I will go on and on about how Final Fantasy 4 and Final Fantasy 6 are the best RPGs in the world, and you can't really convince me otherwise.
What type of games do you hate: You know those little games that look the same as all of the rest, have the same IAP's or purchases as all the rest, and play exactly the same as all the rest... if you play those I have no pity for all the money you wasted... I'm looking at you Candy Crush Saga.
What do you currently do to make money: I work as a Call Center Worker. I also have a weekend volunteer job showing kids in school about card games. The job doesn't really make me money as all proceeds for the card game program goes towards food and drinks, but many parents have approved as it has shown to improve many of their son's and daughter's math skills.
What about Family: 1 Brother, 1 Sister, My Parents, and My grandparents. I was engaged at one time, but I'm not anymore... I currently have a gf named Alanie; she is slowly learning SE, although for some reason she likes mages...
What are your favorite kinds of books: Mostly espionage or government ops books. Think Rainbow Six or the Bourne series.
What do you think is your greatest accomplishment: I dunno. Probably the sorta new yet not officially sanctioned Player Development Program... but Oak and Lightning definitely contributed to it. Probably wouldn't have happened without their support.
What is your proudest moment in BP: I will definitely say watching the very few who did complete my PDP pass into Knighthood. I made it hard, knew plenty would fail, yet every Knight that personally went through my Hell has definitely earned their place. I still don't plan on apologizing for the difficulty. Anyone can tell me the PDP is brutal... but I don't see any of you complaining about the Knights that passed it.
How would you describe yourself: Blunt. I guess I have a sense of humor and I do like helping people from time to time again. Just don't expect me to tell you that you look skinny in that dress.
What do you think your skill in SE is, 1-10 where 1 is bad, 10 is godlike: Probably a solid 6. I don't really play that much, and recently I don't have an interest in it whatsoever, but my real strength lies in knowing what my opponent will do 2-3 turns ahead, and using that against them. I probably do sell myself short though.
Since someone will ask, Favorite Anime: I guess I'll just say Ghost in the Shell. This kinda ties in to my favorite movie and book type being the espionage/government conspiracy type.
Known behaviors: I will play on your words a lot. Expect me to mess with what you say on IRC. I also kick people who use caps, who annoy me, who don't annoy me, who I think could potentially annoy me, who I think could potentially annoy me, but not quite figure out if they will or not, and those who think mages are incredibly awesome and require a measure of skill to play. I understand the argument for Nishaven, Majiya, and Raikka. All the others... yea... I will kick you for sure. Stupid mages.
Maybe this will help you get to know me. Maybe not. But now you all know.
