u crazy. Oh and beer:

I love you too. Loco hombre. <3

Q: Hello, fellow tronner. What is your tron name?
A: Hello and good evening ? My tron name is emmy.

Q: Hi emmy. How did you find the best computer game made ever?
A: Well, although this seems to be the basic question of such an interview, it is hard for me to look back in the depths of ancient times when I first played this game. The first version was an earlier version of tron (maybe glTron or something, I'm not very sure), in which I couldn't change the camera, had a constant low speed and only was able to play it locally - maybe I was too young and noob by that time to search for settings.

Q: And how did you do the step to online game?
A: This step consisted of 2 or 3 steps. After my beginning described early, which took place maybe 7 years ago, I found and played Armagetron for the first time with my cousin Punk (former CT_Punk), still local. That version had settings, so I played a bit with AI of computer, number of players, length of wall. Somehow the local server had rubber and a pretty decent wall accel, so I could already find some strategies to box and dumb the AI's . This happened around 6 years ago.

Due to monotony we stopped playing. After a year ago, we played a bit again on local server, and also found the multiplayer server, tried to play for a couple of minutes, didn't understand anything and exited :S.

3.5 years ago I moved from Bucharest, the capital city, to Iasi, where my cousin Punk was from. As we had more time to meet now we started playing again Armagetron. We tried once again entering multiplayer and the first server we entered on was CTWF. We were both playing with split screen btw .

Q: I'm glad to hear you had the interest or at least curiosity to try again on the Internet after failing at first attempt.
A: Yes, but even the second attempt was quite hard. Starting October 2007, we played for around 1 month only on CTWF and several times on a racing server (I can't remember which, it tried to simulate F1 in a way). During this time we started playing each other on his own computer.

Being kicked many times for non-grinding (I don't remember anyone explaining the notion, but I figured out the tactic of start and split by watching them) and dying at start at the maps (considering there were different splits), we quit again for about 2 weeks -.-.

Q: I see, hard time for newcomers being kicked for not grinding and stuff.
A: True. I decided to give it one more try and really understand the gameplay now. I had the luck for the server to crash, so everybody went to bugfarm sumo, so I found out that there were other modes besides CTWF and racing . I already had a notion of what sumo is, CTWF including some sumo maps.

Playing on bugfarm, I quickly found out about Flower Power Sumo Assault :X :X :X (one of my favorite servers) and Fortress Cafe.

At the beginning of december I learned about clans. I also got close to safa, as he probably noticed me ^^ - love you safa, my tron father and trainer ^^ - and asked me if I'm interested to try to join the clan. I was happy to hear that, as I had a good impression of the clan from the start and had the idea from the beginning that this was the best clan.

Q: How did your testing period, before CTT and as CTT, go?
A: It was one of the most beautiful tron periods I've had so far. It was nice and intense being tested by various CT fellows, many people considered that period to be on of my best, at least proportionally to the time played.

Example: I had a discussion with Fofo in January 2008 I think, I was still CTT by that time, on Flower Power. He asked me how long did I play and what other nicks I used before xD. I said 3 months of multiplayer, 1 month of sumo / fort. He said it can't be, I'm too good for being so new in this game (I remember I really had some good days back then) oO. Fofo is also one of my first and long time friends ^^.

One other nice aspect about trainership was getting also close to K-Yo and Gonzap, as they we're in the same situation as me, and Sol, who played a big part in helping me with this process. I remember also that P4 helped me with some basic notions in the beginning .

Q: Good old times . Do you remember your first clan war?
A: Yes, how could I not ? It was right on the day when I've got accepted as CTT. I entered the server to watch the match and the guys told me to join because I've just been accepted ^^. I was so afraid in that match - I think I've had bigger emotions than in university exams .

Also, in this period I've started challenging people and also finding important aspects about the game: tournaments (AFL - sounded big and cool, too bad never got a change to play one, ladle - I was surprised to find out CT didn't win one (yet), other clans - I was surprised there were other good clans too).

Oh, and I forgot, somewhere in December I found out about custom camera, which I consider one of the decisive changes in my game play - I had really a hard time with "Smart" camera.., and double / triple binds.

Q: Lol. Ok, the last question of our first interview is: when did the big day happen?
A: Hehe. I've had the honour to be accepted into CT in the same day with K-Yo <3, on the memorable day of January 24th 2008.

Q: Ok, CT_emmy! Thank you for your answers and looking forward to talk with you again soon!
A: Sure, see ya .

haha nice emmy ur always the most original

So, did you won your first clan war?

emmy wins!

That was a rhetorical question I know he wins everytime

oh, I meant emmy wins cause of the epic essay! but yeah I'm pretty sure Emmy left that match with personal score over 50..

Typical CT - SP misunderstanding

emmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy my masteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer xD

emmy

the fable of the emmy

summary: emmy is a myth o.o

Actually:

- emmy is a math; he is only in the equation, or
- emmy is a bath; he is only in your house, or
- emmy is a moth; he is only in your ear, or
- emmy is a sith; he is only in your meditation chamber.

you use those too much

old joke is old now

No one's posted here in months, so: TOPIC REVIVAL!!!!


I first heard about this game back in 2004 when my brother played Armagetron Advanced. I saw him play but thought it looked stupid so I never tried it myself. 2 years later in October 2006, my friend told me of this "cool" game he found and he showed me Armagetron Advanced although somehow I didn't realize it was the same game that my brother had played. (I only figured this out in 2009) So I played it over at his house a few times and he always beat me. So a week or so later I went to my house and downloaded the game and started playing it. I played until I was better than my friend and I ended up playing mostly in high rubber and medium rubber servers. After a while I couldn't think of a good name (I originally played with my real name) so I used the name owner as a joke for a really bad name. Then one day I saw someone with the same name so I switched to owned. I kept on playing and kept telling myself I would think of a better name later but I never did and eventually I got used to it.

So after about two months in the game I looked at all of these clans with their servers and decided I wanted to join one. So I found a medium rubber clan called S3D and tried to join in December although they had a policy that people had to have played 3 months. I thought it was an unfair rule so I lied about how long I played (I might be remembering that part wrong) and I became a trainee. S3D had members who still play today like Magic and K-yo (then Key-1337). I remember never seeing Magic but just hearing how he was the best player in the clan and was awesome. Oh how times have changed. Magic
But as I tried to join S3D tried to reinvent itself and I think it became something like shadow riders. I remember it then collapsing but I'm not entirely sure as I stopped being a trainee and stopped playing with the S3D people.

One day I saw this really colorful server named Crazy Tronners Wild Fortress and decided to try it. People kept on yelling at me and kicking me saying things like GRIND and SPLIT. I got really annoyed but kept on coming back because the maps were so fun and eventually I learned how to do both of them. I was amazed at the coincidence in how I always was playing the best players as I always saw people go to rank 1 or rank 2, etc. It turns out they just knew how to shuffle. While I was in CTWF I though people like tom and niro were the best players ever as they always pwned in ctwf.

So after a while I started playing regular fort more often although I still played mostly in ctwf. I founded a team ©© called camper's clan and recruited some players who later became good like tadd and legionnaire, and others like vandetta and yellow lightning. I don't remember exactly why I wanted to join ct but it might've had to do with the fact that tadd and vandetta joined ctt. So I applied in early February and although I sucked a lot they still accepted me in early March (I have no idea why they did looking back .) I was always annoyed at xevi because he said he wanted to test me but he was never on when I was. After two votes, one failed, I finally became a full cter in May!
