Game questions:
What brought you to GC/FreeMarkets in the first place?
Johnee and Sleeping badgering me to quit playing Dopewars and join them in Global Conflict. I started playing a month or so before Freemarkets was born. Once I found FM I was hooked. I remember talking to Sleeping and Johnee about FM and they didn’t seem that interested so I had them join to make me some Raw materials (ahh back in the early days when wood was 100/u) Well they started playing and I never did get my raw materials. A round or two later Cut throat was born.
Which of the games is your favorite and why?
I think that’s a given. I’m a Freemarkets junkie.
What was your best finish in the game?
6.6 billion FM soon to be 12+ billion FMBM
What would be the perfect GC/FreeMarkets game? what changes would you make to get it?
I think it would be nice to have a FreeMarkets all star game. No donations, no premium advantage. Make a certain number of players with set teams that can’t be changed. This would change the dynamics some because there wouldn't be as many people making raw materials, but it would be fun none the less.
What Team/Company is your favorite?
Cut throat Corp. I wasn’t a member the first round because I was skeptical that Johnee and Sleeping would get it going, but after they did I had to join. We’ll they did badger me a lot when I went to hang with them about how I wasn’t in their company and they needed me to help teach the first generation of CTC. I wonder if I still have my 5 page how to get a score document I made. I wonder if anyone actually read it LOL
What Team did you start with? (FreeMarkets only question)
Only played for two teams. PSSC for my first couple rounds and then CtC for the last 55 or so.
Whats your least favorite Team and why?
As I’m sitting here I can’t seem to come up with a team. I love competition. I sometime catch myself rooting for other teams just to make the game harder overall.
What Team & Player have you noticed thats now up and coming to be a good challenge in the games?
Chicken3 and Doubletrouble are running a new team Tiger Claw. I would watch them. They played for CtC for some time and helped run things at time and I feel once they establish Tiger Claw they could be a force to be reckoned with. As much as I was sad to see them go I understand the need to try to run your own thing.
Whats your favorite GC/FM moment?
CtC moving above humble last round to take the top overall company slot. We have come a long way from where we started. I remember being at Johnees house ranting about how we would medal if we could just get everyone to make a billion. I had the entire math laid out to do, but it took a good few rounds for it to happen.
Whats your least favorite GC/FM moment?
Getting fined a while back. I got hit with over a billion in fines and I was livid. I still to this day think they were BS. I just about quit, but instead stopped playing as hard as I use to. Back then I use to have 200+ running contracts at any giving time reselling the product I got in for 10-30/u more. I just had so many running that round it affected my score by a certain % and I got nailed. The prices I was paying weren’t all that low, but none the less it hurt my pride quite a bit. Things have changed quite a bit with fines and I think the work Tyler did has really balanced out the fines. They are a necessary evil, but in the beginning they hurt.
If you could tell one person in the game to go to hell who would it be and why?
Typhod Mary!! Quit making my good scores look bad :p
If you could meet one person from GC/FM that you haven’t yet, who would it be?
Without a double Charles. Been a member of CtC for a year now and has helped us immensely.
