Well...what can you say about this guy?!? KS has been around the bush a few times...infact...he has been around it too much...lol...I respect him cause he is always looking out for the betterment of Dopewars...always trying to ease up the game for first time players and excite them to want to keep playing...
I say this because he is the only one that has posted in the Strategy section with a USEFULL strategy for new players to paly with and learn from...
Hopefully KS continues to play although the game's dilemmas may not excite him as much as they used to anymore...
I dont think he has ever won overall...but he is a VERY good A game player...that is what I am sure of...
hes a pimp. i think he just might be one of the brightest guys on DW
Fun facts about what I have and haven't done.
I have won Game B and Game A games multiple times, but never have finished overall in 1st.
I have finished in A1 in the top 15 without being in a cartel for a round (negotiations and threats = not fun).
I have finished in A1 in the top 10 while being in a cartel where I comprised about 70% of the cartel's worth for the round.
I have had moderator access for the forum at one time. Quite frankly I'd never want it again, except if I got paid. http://oldforum.oddthought.com/images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif
I can give reasonable proof to anyone that I have been here since round one, and was here since the forum began. I've taken a break of about half of a round in this time due to road trips and business meetings.
I really should donate more, since I've only done it once. However, I usually can't afford to do so.
Anything else, ask away.
KS has been around longer than me.....and if you ask me he MUST be older than me, LOL!
hell i got lots of questions for a tru vet like u
whats your basic stategy for a and b games, like machines or junkies, not a detailed description but i would just like to know
in your opinion who are the best cartels you've seen
which new cartels do u think will do well in the future
who do u play for
who do you hate
who are your friends
how did u know about dopewars (end up being here at the begining)
personal best scores a/b games
have u ever run a cartel
whats your most memorable experience with dw
what does your name mean to you
how old are u
will you ever retire
was that too many questions
1) Basic strats for A - machines plus 175% home ec if I'm lazy. Something experimental if I'm not. B strat used to be gun early, then all pimp strat buying credits from black market.
2) I can't honestly answer this question well. Generally I've been in no-name groups until I switched to OSM for A games. Now, I could just say look at the leaderboard, but then they don't tell you anything about the leadership is, or how the cartel acts like a whole. An example of this would have been Bendolf's Bastards. They don't have too many medals because they weren't around for that many rounds. However, in that short of time, they promoted (maybe founded) and spread the use of the now popular hoarding strategy, and was a pretty good cartel overall.
3) Define new. The only "new" cartel that I'm aware of that's doing pretty decent is CD. Everyone else has been around for some time now.
4) OSM in A games. If I play a B game, it'll be completely random.
5) No one. I may be harsh toward people at times, but it's because I say what I feel I need to say, regardless of how you feel about it.
6) On here? I'd have to say the closest thing to friends *besides the person I already know from real life* I have were Vixen and CK, mainly because those are the people that I've talked to most outside of dopewars, and about non-dw related items with. I have plenty of acquaintences from DW though, that I get along with just fine.
7) I used to be one of the "elite" positions at outwar, and used to be a prominent figure there (this was a long time ago). Someone spammed the forums and I found the link there. It was just dumb luck that it happened to be the first round.
http://oldforum.oddthought.com/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif A games? Dunno.. 120 million range probably (as stated before, I've only donated once). B games - Couldn't remember. I think after the rules to prevent slaving were enforced, and black market had a min. sell limit, I still hit pretty high one round, but I just can't remember how high.
9) Co-ran a cartel for a round called Slippery When Wet. The only other person that frequents the forums that may remember it is Adrina, since if my memory serves me correctly, she was just starting to play then, and used my "guide" as help.
10) Tough call. I'd almost have to say it was the last B round when black market credits could be sold for $1, and everyone got obscenely high scores. On top of that, you had a maximum $ amount for the worth of cartels. Therefore, you had about 5 cartels both with 2.147 billion. It was pretty fun though.
11) The name came from a warez distro I used to silently run. It was kloak.net, and since I did all the silent work while the owner was gone, people made up a story that a spirit controls the distro. Kloak's Spirit eventually became Kloaked Spirit.
12) 22
13) Only if there ever becomes a time where I don't feel like I could contribute any of my time to the game. The good part about this game is that you really only need 10 minutes a day to do well.
14) I answered them all didn't I?
I consider myself to be one of the vets of this game and when I joined this game around August 2003, KS had already made a name for himself. He is one of most logical posters that this forum has seen and I usually get a kick out of his posts. Other than that, I do remember Slippery When Wet, who had some good players like cewldre, ks and some others. Since he is only 22, that adds to the respect that I have for him.
I just reread what i wrote and it sounds like some sort of positive feedback that is left on ebay but I'm too damn lazy to erase it so it's staying. I guess in light of that I can summarize it by saying
A+++++++, excellent dopewarer, prompt replies
lol munt makes me laugh every time he posts, kloaked i highly respect you.
kloaked is a good guy, in and out of the internet. still want my whacking sticks back though http://oldforum.oddthought.com/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif and can we ever hang out? i accidentaly deleted your number... im me sometime...
