1.Some info about you:Namastee: Jos, guy, 37, The Netherlands. Living together with my girlfriend, can often be found in close proximity of a computer.
2.Your contact data:I haven't got a proper headset for TS or Skype. I usually don't use Skype, but my name should be GolezTrol, which is basically my nick name everywhere but on Teeworlds. It's even my nickname on hotmail.
3.Your previous Teeworlds career:I downloaded Teeworlds in October 2015, because we wanted to play a little, easy to setup game over a crippled LAN. I never heard of the game before, but I liked it much because it looks and feels like a nice cross-over between Worms and Unreal Tournament. I now often play for a while when I get home from work to blow off a little steam.
My initial nick was GolezTrol, since that's the name I use everywhere online. However, in-game the name was associated with trolling, which led to some negative experiences due to misunderstandings, which is why I changed it to Namastee, a tee-e-fied version of the respectful Hindu greeting.
I've not been in a clan before. I was in a Quake clan in 1997 or so, but that was a formality, someone just needed an extra person to register a team, and I didn't even have internet at home. And I liked Duke Nukem 3D better anyway
4. Maps you like to play often. Do you have a favorite position in CTF2 & 3? Which one?I sometimes play DM or TDM, but most of the time CTF5 on any of the available servers. In the short time I'm playing, I turned out to be better at running than aiming, which is why I like attacking more, although I want to work on my aiming skills to be a better defender.
5. What do you do in your free time besides Teeworlds?Playing guitar, although I'm not very good at that. But that's okay, I've got no intention to be a pro.
Reading a book in bed or during commuting. I prefer sci-fi and fantasy like Discworld.
I've got some carnivorous plants, which need special care, and sometimes I toy around with my Arduino.
I spend a lot of time online, contributing to various communities, most of them in the area of programming.
6. Any special skills besides Teeworlds:I'm a programmer by profession, and I know a little Delphi, C#, PHP, JavaScript and some other languages. I contribute to StackOverflow.com on a regular basis.
7. Write something special. I think I suck at gaming for the same reason I don't play guitar that well. Sometimes I think my hands are just out of sync, and I just press other buttons than I intend to or press them in the wrong order.
This used to be the case when trying to jump at the right moment in Commander Keen back in 1867 when I bought my first computer, and I still have that problem today. Nevertheless, I try to be persistent and become better at Teeworlds, so I can give some competition despite my 'handicap'.
8. Why are you willing to join this clan?I was pointed to this website. I thought you had to be really good to begin with to join a clan, but I like this educational aspect of OtH, and I hope I learn some special skills.
And I see Apfeltee applied as well, who I have had a couple of friendly encounters with already.
