SuicideD Interview
1. Tell us a little about yourself, any personal information you’d like to share with us? What if any other hobbies do you partake in?
Probably one of the old men that lurks about in the WWW. Married 2 children and trying to get a job. Love fishing and the great outdoors as found it really relaxing after spending all day in the office/pub. Do a lot of reading whilst fishing as I catch ‘not a lot’. Enjoy messing on the computer but no good in multiplayer games as I’m senile and the kids shoot me before I realise where I am.
2. How did you come about your IGN?
My name is Edward but everyone except my mum in law calls me Eddie. Thats the end bit and the first bit is because I have such a happy attitude to life.....
3. You are currently ranked #2, are you aiming for the #1 spot?
Would be nice but think the gaps too big and have no nobles. (Would like to thank all those that voted ‘No’ for cheaper packets as I still have to spend all day farming)
4. Do you have anyone in mind in Death that you’d like to go up against?
I suppose now TB27 has left (pass him my best wishes if anyone knows him) it looks like Mondeao as he’s a pain in the arse to try and fool. Even if you succeed you can bet there’s a noble landing within 1 second ......
5. You’ve been in 3 tribes, can you tell me a little bit about your experiences during your startup phase of the game and how you’ve managed to survive this long?
As you can tell the first two were a waste of time. Myself, The Dan and Grumpy Lad were on UK1 together. Near the end of that we went on our own against che, hence TFF which stood for The Final Few. We started here a long way from each other, restarted and then still found it too far so we persuaded The Dan to form a tribe and we joined it. Start up is firstly been near barbs so you can farm as much as possible. Grow and then farm anyone near you. With luck it works. If they are stubborn cat them to death....
6. Is there an ending point for you in this game sometime? How much is enough? You have over 10 Million points. Are you in it for the long run? ie end of the war and UK3 declares a winner?
I quit once and came back for some unknown reason. However with luck I will get a job and then I’m afraid that has to come first. Till then I’ll stay and try but would like the finishing post to appear.
7. Are you getting tired of Internals like the rest of us?
Yes afraid so. It’s a lot harder work than it should be and I don’t know but maybe in a future version that they’ll consider some easier way to do it
.
8. What’s your opinion of Death since the war started? Have we(Death) lived up to our reputation?
Afraid where I was never really had any Death near me so hadn’t come across Death. Also to find us (no disrespect to the other tribes) fighting it out at the end would have never been thought of in a million years. We all understand now it’s a game so the uber cockiness has mostly now left this world (Jo we apologise for,hehehhehe). Wish you’d limit those stacks to say 50/50 please, my poor nukes.
9. I’ve read multiple opinions about how long this war will take, but I’ve recently done some math and at the rate we’re going, this war could take upwards of 10 years to finish if we continue our current rate of nobling each other. With 19,000 villages in TFF and almost 13,000 in death, at our current rate of 95 days into this war and aprox 200 villages separate us in terms of conquers against each side, it comes out to around 10 years, plus the distance factor, TFF and Death are still so far apart in some areas, folks will need to move into other Continents, anchor themselves down and. So that tells me that this war will end when players get tired and quit, what are your thoughts on this war so far?
Its already showing that people are quitting, some because of RL but also I think that as you point out, where is the end. As The PowerII suggested maybe a football match in no mans land to decide it. Hopefully all tribes can raise 11 players.....
10. What brings you to log in every day and Play this game? How did you come about it in the first place? Do you have any other world experience?
It passes the time and don’t want to let the others down if possible as they have all worked hard to get to this position. Can’t quiet remember how but it was probably one of those banner adverts and just got absorbed into it. Only played UK1 for about a year but prefer this for the no church especially.
11. What do you enjoy about Tribal Wars? Do you have any memories you’d like to share about something you were so happy to see happen?
I did enjoy the abusive mails and then you knew they were rattled. I was especially proud when a player named his village ‘Suicided has a small *****’. Couldn’t complain as the truth hurts.
12. Do you like the social aspect along with the conquer of an enemy as much as the rest of us?
I’ve chatted with some really good laugh players and yes that’s a reason to log on. If they were boring numpties I wouldn’t bother playing. Trying to think up ways of winding up The Dan is always a pleasure.
13. Are you as addicted to this game as others? I mean, If I’m not in front of my PC, I have my Droid X with me tagging and sending nukes, are you this bad as well?
I have a £20 nokia which does what it’s meant for, ie make and receive phone calls. I was there watching the moon landing so these new fangled gizmos are witchcraft to me. Spend too much time on the computer and that’s another reason to get out and about.
14. And lastly, thanks for taking the time for this interview, is there anything you’d like to add, a message you would like to state anything at all?
The Dan, Are you sure you’re not slightly feminine?
And thank you to Acheron1 and all the others trying to keep the forums a laugh and alive.
