Welcome to the winning team

[MyNameIsJoey]

So this is a topic i make whenever there's a team event I am in.

A welcome topic.

Feel free to say as much or as less about yourself as you want, so we can know who we are going to be working/playing with for the next war.

Hi.  I'm also Joey from Canada, funny enough.  I'm 33, and while I do know a bit of french, I'm a native english speaker.  I have an electrical engineering degree and work in sales at an electronic parts store.  It's not exactly what I went to school for, but at least my schooling has relevance to what I do.

I've been in three wars before, war 4 on time, war 5 on entropy, and war 8 on gravity.  On Time I had a good showing, but on the other two we got wrecked.  (So I'm overdue for a good showing! :p)

I've played lots of CCGs in the past 20 years.  Magic, netrunner, spellfire, star trek, elements, hearthstone, to name a few.

I like to read, play computer games and CCGs/board/card games.

I like to suggest really stupid ideas for decks sometimes as part of my brainstorming, so when I suggest the overdriven catapulted skeleton deck or whatever stupidity, just humour me :p  I won't actually play something like that without proving it can work first.

I am not Joey nor from Canada.

I am Rob and am from Kansas currently residing in Las Vegas, NV (nope, almost NEVER do I go to the Las Vegas Strip).  My college degree is in Architectural Engineering but emphasis on electrical - Professional Engineer in Electrical state of Nevada -- yay?   Basically, since graduation I have been working and advancing in the field of my college degree - so that is a good thing in life.  (More importantly I enjoy it most days!)

Let's see - as a young man / kid / teen I played a tad bit of Magic (very little tad bit), Star Wars CCG, Star Trek CCG (you too dragons?!), a little bit (medium level little here) of Overpower, some Ironclad Tactics (on Steam by Zachtronics - they make GREAT games btw), getting a little into Hearthstone lately, and of course my career in EtG which is chronicled many places on this forum.

Wars - drafted for 1 card in War 6 by Shantu after some chat time with him.  Shortly after that competed for and attained Master of death and General'd Death in War 7.  Lost mastership to the wonderful Fippe94 and participated briefly (RL - *shakes fist) in War 8 on dd's Water Team (I still rue my lack of activity in that event...).  Here I am General and Master of Death again for War 9.

The way I run teams I get placed in charge of (Death War 7, DDD Brawl ?3?, and now Death War 9) here is as a co-worker 99% of the time.  I will not aim to steamroll anybody on the team.  Likewise, I expect input and activity from our members to a reasonable level - we each can only do that which we can do.  I enjoy competition and War is one very unique manifestation of just that.

Please note also that as a team I will do everything within my power to support our efforts.  In the past this has been present in actions such as pressing WM's about a sub against my team that fielded MANY nymphs when the original player had a Nymph Count post that was recnet and showed them WAY short of having that many themselves.  I will take the truth to the grave in a dispute similar to xn in War 7 against Drake with a very odd desync result that seemed improbable but was eventually credited to Death's favor.  The requirement for me to take such stances is that behind these closed doors and ESPECIALLY PM's and TPad we must be blatantly honest and true to each other.

One other thing -- I want to strongly encourage and do support that AS A TEAM and ON THE WHOLE when we win credit is never claimed personally or at expense of the opponent and when we lose blame is never placed on RNG or similar reactions that discredit the opponent.  EVEN WHEN THE LOSS is due to RNG we should give "gg" and credit "well played Opponent Z".  EVEN WHEN THE WIN is due to hard work behind the scenes and the opponent played poorly or had no chance we should give "gg" and credit "draws in our favor" or "luck was with us" or similar statements.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT thing to me so please do your best to adhere.  I know heat-of-the-moment happens but I like to spearhead a kind and genuine team effort.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, I remember Overpower.  I never owned any cards, but I played a few times when it was new.

Hi, I'm Crockett from Maine, US.
My personality has been changing ever drastically the past couple of years. I'm a bit strong headed, but if I like what Im doing I work very hard at it. I am very atheltic, and this year Im doing tennis, so I won't be seen from 2-4 my time on mondays or tuesdays. (Same time as joeys, and maybe the other joey too since theyre both from canada.)
Im a jr. in highschool, so I don't have a college degree like you guys. School hours are 6 AM to 2 PM. I can't access a computer from 4-9:30 ever, and the 9:30 is based on when my mom goes to bed. She sometimes stays up. Ill be trying to bring my school computer home but have to convince my mom. Playing my matches with these restraints could be a bit difficult. I have a computer I play on but it overheats VERY easily when on the web for like 20 minutes. Very short window of time there. Im looking forward to war though, so far Im liking it better then mafia! Im going to be going into the Army or Navy, not that you guys care too much but it does say a lot bout my personality. Have a good day!
