Let's try this again - The Person Above You

Revival · 02-28-2002, 01:02 PM

I thought we might take an attempt at trying this again, and I want to see how successful it can be. In order to actually keep this topic open, YOU MUST MAKE YOUR REPLIES LONGER THAN ONE SENTENCE!!!!, and I'll repeat it again, YOU MUST MAKE YOUR REPLIES LONGER THAN ONE SENTENCE!!!!. Now, this just means that you need to have more than one thing to say about the person in order to reply.

So, hopefully we can keep this topic opened, and see how much we know about everyone else.

Take it away _____________.

Notes:

Xantar got my social security number wrong

Shooter. Once the manager of GTRAC, he retired from the position. He once made a going away thread about flaming gekko. But he didn't leave and came soon after. Recently he made a thread baout suicide and made his former girlfriend pretty mad.

Link1130 -- the chimpmunk pimp. Was wrong, as I was fired from mamanger at GTRAC ( rather ugly story

). Was born on November 30th, 1987.

Shooter -- I've already talked about him in another topic, but what the heck. I'll reintroduce him to all the newbies who don't know him and give them more information than they could possibly want. Just remember that I'm pulling all this out of memory, so I'll get some things wrong.

He's a freshman at Pinkerton Academy in Derry New Hampshire. His real name is Brian Rutzen. If I remember correctly, he has brown hair, wears glasses and has braces. His Social Security number is 020-54-1876, and you can reach him on AIM under the username ShooterAD (he also has an ICQ account, but he doesn't seem to have logged on there in over a year). He also used to go by the name "Firehose" at CubeSource.

His career at GameTavern started off with a position as manager of GameTRAC (in fact, he was sort of the founder). For a reason that I can't recall, he lost that position. Maybe it had something to do with what I'm going to talk about next.

He also joined the staff of NinGlobe, but apparently it was just to teach the webmaster a lesson. His first action was to use his FTP access to delete almost everything on that site. His intentions were good enough—he wanted to show cookiecaper (the webmaster of NinGlobe at the time) that he was far too trusting in giving FTP access to people. Deleting everything was a bit overboard, though, so Shooter lost his staff position.

He has basically spent the rest of his time here as a forum member although I wonder how he got his custom rank. In any case, he generally hangs out at all the forums I go to here at GameTavern (and even showed up at PVG), making occasionally insightful posts, more often just joking. He also reads my fanfics and is responsible for some of the smileys available here at GameTavern.

He also started the first "Person Above" topic but apparently didn't read it very closely and missed the three times that I warned people to put more substance into their posts in that topic under the threat of closing it.

He's sort of gekko's enemy. Actually, that's not really true. gekko probably doesn't consider Shooter important enough to actually hate. Their various clashes have led to Shooter "quitting" two separate times that I can remember, though. But Shooter came back, thus illustrating the old truism at these forums: "They always come back."

Oh yeah, and there's Andromida. It's not really fair to talk about Shooter without mentioning her a little bit. The two of them had been going out for a year to a year and half before recently breaking up. I know a little more about their relationship, but it's only through chat sessions with Shooter (i.e. it's private).

Shooter agrees with me on all kinds of stuff. For example, we both don't think Britney Spears is attractive or that Hershey's kisses are all that great, and we don't worship The Simpsons. Academically, Shooter had trouble seeing any value in learning things like history. That may have changed since the chat I had with him about such things was last year. Hopefully he has learned the value of algebra, though. In any case, he understands when I explain science stuff to him, so he's not dull.

And he's finally starting to call me "well-educated" instead of "smart" now.

Edit that post to give it more substance, delete my quote (it's useless) and fix things up.

Perfect Stu · 02-28-2002, 02:40 PM

Is the best damn moderator here at GameTavern (besides me of course

). He seems very well educated for a 17 year old, although he may be 18. But I'm pretty sure he's 17. He has spent a damn long time editing people's posts here in the general forum, and deserves respect from everyone.

Yep, I'm still editing posts here.

And yes, I'm still 17.

Stu is the moderator of the PS2 board, and is respected around GameTavern for his non-biased opinions. He has been depressed for a few years now, but he'll get over it soon - -I know he will.

Stu is also one of my favorite members.

Shooter aka Wildfire, FireWreck, Ticco Driver, etc was a mod for NintendoForce where there was a falling out between him and gekko. Shooter then started a site known as GameCastle (or something like that). He came to GT where he was put in charge of GTRAC. That didn't work out either. Shooter later posted a topic called "Let's try this again - The Person Above You"...

BlueFire · 02-28-2002, 06:16 PM

Danchastu is a spriter, gamer, and all around mess up

He knows how to speak Japanese (or at least I have been told) and he is friends with Shooter. He likes Pokemon, Digimon, anime, and sonic. He is a well known Sprite Artist here in GT and CubeSource and he is an all around funny-guy.

D-Man · 02-28-2002, 06:16 PM

Was once known as Monkey, and was really funny back then. (not that he isn't now I hope

). He started the idea about a gcn clan, the PMDC, but I don't know what happened to it since there isn't a forum at for it at agb anymore.

EDIT: Well that was about Danchastu.

For BlueFire:

I see he's become a mod here. I don't really know him that well cause he was just a newbie last time I left

.

BlueFire · 02-28-2002, 06:31 PM

To D-Man: (I'm still a newbie.

)

He loves Hockey. He lives in Canada and he knows how to speak French. He's involved in the PMDC greatly. He's left GT once or twice or just stayed silent. He's mainly in AGB. He may have a GameCube...or not..

magus113 · 02-28-2002, 06:55 PM

is a humungous RPG freak. He's also the soon-to-be moderator of G-Trac. That sounds cool.

BlueFire · 02-28-2002, 07:00 PM

We've been best friends since Kindergarten. We have a lot of fights that are funny. The person above has cystic fibrosis, but it doesn't affect his life that much. Is a guy who has a hard time beating RPGs.

I keep his games (like Chrono Cross) for many months.

Is a member who signed up in April but never posts.

marionette · 02-28-2002, 07:09 PM

bluefire, his real name is geo. he likes to make comics, and piss DH off. he used to like to piss me off, but he doesnt anymore. lol. he's pretty cool to talk to after you get to know him. shooter says he's his best "online" friend. geo's very smart, and gets good grades from what i know of. his birthday is september 11, and...he lives in flordia. and i can't remember anything else right now
