Hello! My name is: Benevolent Thomas I started playing NS: In 2011. I came across it via Stumbleupon.com and I don't think I've been back to that site yet! It worked too well. I started out as a roleplayer and played quietly in a larg-ish Political RP oriented region until I joined 10000 Islands and became a defender in the early summer of 2012. I would stay there for a little over two years before I was banned due to differences with the region's founder and old guard. While there I became a TITO Knight, had a hand in the defense of over 140 regions, became a Tactical Officer of TITO, was a Senator and even served as the region's World Assembly Delegate. I joined Fort Triumph because: I wanted to try something new and start over with several of the friends I've made over the past couple of years. Starting a region was my idea, but I quickly realized that I was not the only one who wanted this and we all worked together to make ourselves a new home that we may enjoy. Although I'm still a defender and I'm still a regionalist, I would like everyone to know that I'm a brand new player. I'm ready to begin enjoying NS once more and Fort Triumph is my vehicle to accomplish this goal. My favorite band/musician is: Muse My favorite song is: Knights of Cydonia by Muse My favorite movie is: Not applicable. Too many choices for me. My favorite game is: Another tough category... I'm going to go with the unexpected rout and choose Mario Party. While normally I would consider myself a hardcore game, but this casual game was always different and it provides endless hours of fun with friends. My favorite TV show is: Too tough to call... Doctor Who, The West Wing, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Daily Show, South Park, The League, Trailer Park Boys, Fairy Tail, Sword Art Online, Community, many others. I watch a lot of TV My favorite book is: The Great Gatsby Other interests of mine include: Drinking , Playing Darts, erm... I spend a lot of my time on NS actually. The greatest Trilogy or Saga of all time is: Another tough call... damn the person who came up with this questionnaire! I'm going to completely shed my memory of Episodes I and II and say Star Wars. Who shot first: Han or Greedo?: Han Shot First. The best flavor of Mountain Dew is: Regular What I am most looking forward to: Meeting a bunch of new nations and making many new friends. I want to see this place grow and prosper due to the contributions of many, not the few. I look forward to seeing new leaders and powerhouses taking form in our little slice of paradise. Anything else we should know about you?: I'm very goofy apparently and I talk like a sailor. I am a progressive liberal, but I can respect the opinions of anyone who come by them rationally. I am an Atheist. I am anti-religion, but I won't hold having a religion against anyone. I am a smartass, so please don't take offense unless I really step over the line. And please let me know when I do, I don't intend to be a dick. What question(s) should we add to this?: -

Hello! My name is: Control
I started playing NS: About a year and a half ago. I read Jennifer Government. Funny how that worked backwards, right?
I joined Fort Triumph because: I'm visiting Fort Triumph because I've got a lot of old friends here.
My favorite band/musician is: At the moment, Sidewalk Prophets.
My favorite song is: Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes.
My favorite movie is: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
My favorite game is: Red Alert 2. Started playing when I was 7, and it's still fun.
My favorite TV show is: Doctor Who, which is also the only TV show I watch nowadays.
My favorite book is: Words of Radiance or anything else by Brandon Sanderson.
Other interests of mine include: Learning, Archery, Fencing, Sailing, Rugby. That makes me sound a lot more active than I actually am.
The greatest Trilogy or Saga of all time is: Terry Pratchett's Bromeliad Trilogy.
Who shot first: Han or Greedo?: Han shot first. Duh.
The best flavor of Mountain Dew is: The flavor someone else is drinking.
What I am most looking forward to: Graduating high school.
Anything else we should know about you?: I'm a conservative, although I heartily disapprove of both major political parties since I can only tell them apart by the words they say. I'm a Christian who actually reads his Bible and thus knows that we aren't supposed to convince others to turn to Christ by argument, but simply by doing our best to live as an example of His love. All that means I won't be in your face about what you believe unless you want to debate. I'm always ready for a debate, by the way. I have a better beard than most of the people on this forum, guaranteed, although my criteria for the best beard may be different than anyone else's. I'm Jewish and Scottish, and so I'm a bit angry about current political events.

Post by Deadeye Jack on Sept 29, 2014 12:46:59 GMT -5
Hello! My name is: Deadeye Jack I started playing NS: I think about 3 years ago. I don't remember the exact date. I joined Fort Triumph because: Benevolent Thomas begged and begged and begged until I said yes. And you just can't say no to that face. I also joined because I think it would be an interesting new challenge to build a region and also to take part in the R/D game, something I previously hadn't done. My favorite band/musician is: I don't really have a favorite band. I try to listen to all kinds of music and expand my tastes. If you have any suggestions let me know. My favorite song is: I don't really have one. My favorite movie is: This is hard to pick but for the sake of not leaving too many things blank I'll say The Usual Suspects or maybe My Cousin Vinny if I'm wanting something more on the funny side. My favorite game is: Probably a card game. I like playing card games. I'll go with Pinochle, something I don't get to play often because not many people play. My favorite TV show is: Right now it's Game of Thrones. I also used to like Lost a lot while that was still on although that was ultimately unsatisfying. My favorite book is: You know I don't really read all that much because I just don't know where to start. Most recent thing I read was the Game of Throne series, and I went through that quickly.I also used to quite like mystery novels, specifically Hercule Poirot stuff by Agatha Christie. Other interests of mine include: I am a pretty big sports fan and I follow my teams pretty thoroughly. I also like to go camping and am lucky enough to travel to some cool places once or twice a year. The greatest Trilogy or Saga of all time is: LoTR Who shot first: Han or Greedo?: Han, obviously The best flavor of Mountain Dew is: Regular I guess What I am most looking forward to: I guess I'm most looking forward to helping to build this region into something great. As BT alluded to, I think success in regions isn't judged by my own personal accomplishments but by creating a community that all shares in the region's legacy. Regions that stand the test of time are built on the overall strength of the community and its ability to operate without the founding members' input all the time. I also am looking forward to diving deeper into the R/D game and kicking some raider butt Anything else we should know about you?: I am a genius and am always right. Don't question me. What question(s) should we add to this?:

Hello! My name is: Sauron/Wopruthien or Gruffydd Ap Llywelyn on a couple places. I started playing NS: December 2006 I joined Fort Triumph because: Eist came and I finally discovered BT's new hideout/ My favourite band/musician is: Hmm it usually changes with mood, but you can't go far wrong with Rise Against, Priestess, Billy Talent, Sum 41 (Mostly anything from the Chuck Album). My favourite song is: Again tough. Prayer of the Refugee is up there. Some Say, Hero of War, or any of those that are similar. My favourite movie is: Very tough. Lord of the Rings. (Strictly speaking it isn't but i don't really have one). World's fastest Indian, (Anthony Hopkins reminds me of my Taid so anything with him in I really like), Frost/Nixon, Now You See Me was really good, Dark Knight, A Bridge Too Far, Alladin, How to Train a Dragon. My favourite game is: Risk! Unless you mean computer game, then Total War (any of them) or Battlefield 2 (though really enjoyed 3 and 4). My favourite TV show is: Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Blackadder, Yes Prime/Minister, House of Cards, Hell on Wheels. Plus a couple I missed. My favourite book is: Again I should say Lord of the Rings, but it isn't. Conn Iggulden The Conquer series is fantastic as well as his Emperor series, as is David Gemmell's Troy. Other interests of mine include: Downhill Mountain Biking, playing football (Soccer), watching Rugby and football, playing Tennis badly, Archaeology/history. The greatest Trilogy or Saga of all time is: See my favourite books Iliad Who shot first: Han or Greedo?: Han, but Lucas messed with it in later editions to make Greedo shoot first. The best flavour of Mountain Dew is: Water. What I am most looking forward to: My new bike. Anything else we should know about you?: I tried to take over Middle Earth, but lost my ring finger. I then couldn't spot a little Hobbit walk right through my front door. What question(s) should we add to this?:There six years old. How much trouble can they be? Also what is your favourite pizza? (More food questions).

Fantastic taste in music, good sir!
Have you ever played Axis and Allies? It's a lot like risk, just a bit more complicated and takes about as long as WWII to actually play a full game.

Me and my friends once used the pieces for Axis an Allies and combined it with the regular risk board and made up some new rules to make up our own game. I don't quite remember how it worked but it was fun.

I had worked my way up my company ladder and had reached the title of Staffing Manager. I started the longest lasting relationship of my life thus far, which I'm still happily a part of. I no longer drink all that much soda or eat unhealthy food, although I still love them. I've reignited my passion for hockey and the Tampa Bay Lightning. I still can play darts at a competitive level, but I am not currently in any leagues. My taste in anime has improved vastly... I have taken up attending many rock concerts and festivals. Most importantly, I still love partying with my friends!
