Interview with a Vampira ……..

 

1. Thank you for taking the time to be interviewed. How long have you been playing quake?

Rince's response:  Just over 4 and a half years now. I started playing in June '96.

2. What do you consider your greatest quake achievement so far?

Rince's response: Coming 3rd in the national titles would have to be a high-light. We had to borrow computers and a fourth person just to compete =)

3. Can you give me a small history of your clan, what it stands for and what they hope to achieve?

Rince's response: It was pretty much started as a joke [and if you talk to people who don't like us.. we still are].. we just thought it would be good to have a clan full of people that we [as a clan] did not think were wankers... so.. No Wankers was born.

I guess it stands for reason in the face of idiocy online.. don't be an idiot.. have respect... etc ad liberatum

We had initially aimed for world domination *evil laugh*.. but I think we're settling for just getting through.. and being the best of mates regardless of what's going on in our lives.

4. What is good about being in your clan?

Rince's response: The comraderie aboev all else.. but I think the love-hate relationship we've developed with various online clans/players always keeps things interesting.

5. Who do you consider your favorite Quakers?

      Rince's response: Where do I start?! I've met so many amazing people in my time playing Quake.. but my favourite people [other          than those in the clan] would have to be {in no particular order} : Taggie, Trigger, Mr. Fribbles, HTB, Fifties, Slow Man,              Catwoman, and a whole lot more.. but those are the few that spring to mind as people I'd do anything for.

6. Who do you consider your least favorite Quakers?

        Rince's response: Ha! Well.. I've made quite a number of enemies along the way.. but as a long-term favourite enemies.. I'd          have to say Charcol, Siber, anyone from DeathBringger's clan [they're all absolute tossers], MJJ {who is an A ONE idiot} and          Kook (who simply can't believe that anyone is capable of beating him).

7. What computer are you running?

       Rince's response: A poxy pII-celeron-366 with 128mg RAM, a 5 gig HDD and a voodoo2. I get about 50 frames per second in          software [I don't use GL]

8. Do you play any other PC games and if so which ones?

        Rince's response: YES! I play a lot of other games.. Anything from Westwood is good, Dune2, C+C, Red Alert and so forth..          Blizzard's Diablo series has held my attention for some time.. but I also play Lords of the Realm, Heroes of Might + Magic, the          Worms series, Planetarion, Diaspora and chess.net to name a few =)

        I play a fair bit of Nintendo aswell.

        9. Your general thoughts on on-line gaming.

        Rince's response: It's come a LONG way.. and it has an even longer way to go. I love the fact that it brings like-minded people          together. I like the way certain people interact when given the right stimulii...

        I guess online gaming in general can be summed up quite simply... It's FUN!

        That's usually good enough for me =)

Thank you once again for allowing me to interview you.

Rince's response: Thanks for giving a shit =)
