Introduce yourself!
Let's introduce ourselves a little bit so that we know more about each other as fellow clan members . You can introduce yourself however you want and with whatever information you want. I'll go first:
Name: Courtney_The_Tranny_Orc
Age: 28
Location: Texas
Occupation: Student (getting Master's), Starbucks
Why I chose that name for my character? I have no idea, haha. It's full of irony if you think about it . I have 2 other characters: Ephram_The_Retarded_Orc and IStealYourSocks. But lately, I've just been on the Courtney one.
I bought both the original M&B and Warband during one of those Steam's sales over a year ago. Unfortunately, I bought them during finals week and got very addicted to the original. I then gave Warband a try and got even more addicted. After playing a lot of singleplayer, I tried my hands at multiplayer. I think my first "favorite" server was the POM battle server. Most people on that server were experts and I could barely manage a kill. I then joined this server because I wanted to play some siege mode, and now it's my go-to server everytime I log in. I usually enjoy playing defense because it's something about defending a castle that I really enjoy.
Likes: combat system, people I befriended on server.
Dislikes: TK noobs! when my mouse doesn't block in the direction I want (probably my fault actually)...I do rage a lot in the game.
Strengths: 1-handers, 2-handers, xbows, and nomad bows (the best bow in the game I think).
Weaknesses: Spears, all calvary.
Still improving: Feinting, manual blocking, timing (all 3 are highly dependent on ping).

I don't really remember when I started playing I know a lot of people tell me "Hey, you were pretty good a year ago." So i know it's been a couple of years. I, like many, started playing on 22nd siege server. Back then, everyone ran around spamming 2handers and shooting their bows without care into melee. I didn't like getting shot by arrows and couldn't manual block at all, so I went with the 1hander and shield. I recall saying out loud "BULLSHIT!" every time a 2hander held his swing and got me as I lowered my shield. Someone eventually told me about ping and it's effects on combat and I began looking for another server. Hmmm...here's a much lower ping on this GK server...ima try this one. I started playing on GK's server (with lots of colorful characters at the time) and noticed I still needed a lot of practice...but at least now, I had a better chance. I also liked the server rules and the fact that I could respawn quickly! Plus, lots o' good peeps play there....added to favorites. Mount and Blade Warband is one of the few games I play; other games pale in comparison.
Favorite Class: Infantry
Favorite faction: Sarranids
Strengths: Cavalry, Throwing weapons, Footwork, Sword and Board, Evading, Being sneaky "SNOOOOP!"
Weaknesses: Being overly aggressive.
Likes about Warband: A challenging game. Always seems to be something new to learn.....this game evolves. Working as a team. A large selection of playing/fighting styles
Dislikes: Tkers,, players that seem to only be concerned with K/D ratio.

Re: Introduce Yourself!
Name: Dag_of_Wood
Age: Older than you (but probably in better shape)
Location: Texas (ready for Colorado about now)
Occupation: Former Semiconductor Engineer; currently contracting and Habitat volunteer
My college nickname was Dagwood (given to me like in Animal House). Played Mount and Blade in its early days and tried all the different armies/troop combos. Despite which troops I was with I usually played as a Horse Archer with heraldic mail or plate and bastard sword on a Heavy Hunter. Never picked up an xbow really until about 2 months ago. Bought Warband a couple months ago in a steam sale and played multiplayer. First day I must have been a real noob probably tk'd my team and couldn't slash or fight well. I've played a few other servers where I get better ping but really really like the GK siege server.
Likes: A good offensive with people you can trust beside/behind you. Defending a tower or gatehouse. $$ for a warhorse.
Dislikes: Naked 2-handers on the other team who try to kick me from the server because I shot them going up the ladder again without a shield or think I'm using a laser because of the headshot graphic. Also hate being forced to play Sarranid.
People with 40 ping bitching about needing 12-15 ping when I have around 100 ping and I am in the top 5 of my team.
Strengths: 1-handers with shield or spear and shield. X-bow. Strong bow. Actually think Hunting bow is best bow especially when in an archer on archer ranged duel. Good cav skills. Decent skirmisher.
Weaknesses: blocking with 2-handers and fighting women in bikinis

Occupation: student
Like most of you I got hooked to M&B about a year ago (2 if you count the original). I've tried many online games but this one is the only one left standing- never have to grind, no combat is the same everytime you play. I have the luxury of time so I play a lot and capable of playing all 3 classes fairly well. I started in 22nd too then eventually move on to GK and make permanent residence there.
Fav: swadian knight/xbow, vaegir archer, rhodok infantry.
Loathe: ignorance, tker. As some of you know I react violently to tker. I personally believe they ruin the game for everyone so I'll just ruin their fun. I NEVER start anything by myself and always apologize if I hit someone. Btw there is a recent change in GK siege rule: if you tk 3 times in a row you are automatically banned, not kicked like before. I think they changed this just to get me .
Strength: above average overall
Weakenss: 1h swords- I just can't yield them. A bit of a whiner when team stacks, not very chatty.

Hey there fellas. Mephiston invited me to join the Rebels last night and I jumped at the opportunity. I try my best to always enjoy playing the game, so the rebellion appeals me. I've at some time interacted with most of you.
I started playing warband when it was released last year, coming over from the orig M&B, but didn't touch the multiplayer for a while. Steam says I have 608.5 hours of warband logged.
McPesto is a name derived from a sandwich I once ate.
Likes: I like jumping around and using the environment to advantage; berserking in the nude with fellow nude companions; playing while listening to Bossa nova. If an attack looked cool, then it was a success. I also like throwing knives and rocks long distances. I run away sometimes; mostly because it's funny.
Strengths: Sometimes I can be unpredictable. I like to play with opponents if I can. I'm alright with most weapons, but in GK_Siege I usually gotta stick with fast 1H, shield, and light armor.
Weaknesses: Cavalry, Archers, Open Areas, Heavily Armored Opponents, Distractions, Kicks. I charge in a little too often and get impatient. There are some people I just can't beat and I can't figure out why. Probably because they stay calm while I'm trying to go nuts.

Occupation: Computer technician/Actor ( I'm good at acting like I'm working)
Hello fellas. I've been playing this game for a while now and solely on GK siege servers whenever I play online, which is often. I was invited by Snoop. I've always thought snoop was cool before Rebel came along.
Mount and blade, really scratched a hard itch I've always had with video games. Although not perfect, the combat of this game is the best when it comes to medieval weapons.
Strengths: I'm good with most 2hand weapons, 1 hand weapon with shield, and crossbows. I like to think I'm good with team work and will volunteer myself to do something specific to help the team.
Weakness: I have trouble attacking while on horseback, using bows, and throwing weapons. I have a problem blocking with weapons sometimes cause I keep forgetting its not set to autoblock.

Hello folks. I been playing the game for more than 1 year and allways at the GK_siege server. A month ago Snoop came up with this rebel thing and i joined him with no second thougths, an here we are now as a true power conquering the land and lords (My english sucks sorry)
I think this is great oportunity to find ourselves a place to call our own on the game. Teamwork is what makes the diference in this game and its great when you can trust the one you have at your side. This is also an oportunity for all of us who want to get more involved with the game, like for example the ROCK campaing that will be great.
Likes: I like teamwork, formations, a tactical thougth of the situation, and the strategy, thats why i somethimes act like crazy sreaming "GET SOME PIKES ON THE GATE AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" or some bullshit like that.
Dislikes: I dislike beeing shot by lots of arrows with no shield
I think we can become a great family! ()

Re: Introduce yourself!
Name : I'm Mephiston and im an alco... oh wait! wrong forum dammit!
Age: 28
Sex: Male and often
Province (Canadian):Alberta
Job: a lowly cook, who works to damned much and gets payed too little!
Bought this game while it was in beta and haven't looked back I probably should be better then I am... but I kinda quit it for a year or so, now, it's really the only game I play regularly. MMO's used to be a big thing too for me, started WoW in it's first year of release, but quit about 3 years ago or something... WoW got boring. After WoW came Roma Victor, but I really didn't play that too much. Beta'd Darkfall.... dun like it. Waiting for Warhammer 40k MMO, but so far from what I've heard, it's a good vs evil (2 factions) and I think that blows. M&BW is my staple tho, my fall back and probably one of the best games I've played BTW, I also just got portal 2 and been having fun with that, if yer on steam and have it, we shall play
Likes + Strengths: Team Player(s), 1hand+shield, 2hand spam, throwing weapons, strong bows, siege xbows, coursers, and fighting cav (cav don't scare me)
Weaknesses: Ping(for now, still getting used to it, and its not even that bad ) Late night play, Spear-fu, and 1v1, strangely enuff... I do better when im outnumbered (when my ping is good)
Dislikes: Archers who don't help at the flag!! hate it when they just shoot into the ball.... Tk'ers and chippers, and people who poll every 5 sec's for a map change.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up, Questions/concerns/training, always appreciated

Re: Introduce yourself!
Name: Irix (AKA Sarx or Ralf_teh_Hotness, for those of you that have played on POM Central)
Sex: Male
Age: 30
Location: Indiana, USA
Occupation: Retail Management
I started playing M&B back when it was a little indie title and have been playing Warband since its release. I first played on POM Central where I developed my individual skills as well as the tactical/teamwork side of the game. I tried out the GK siege server because I liked the idea of the game having a strategic goal other than the annihilation of the enemy army. Also, I like that you don't have to wait 5 minutes to get back into the action because some jack monkey called for "DUELS" in a battle situation (if you've played POM, you know what I'm talking about). At this point, I'm pretty much a Warband junkie. Also, I am not much of a talker and not the fastest typist. So if I don't participate in a conversation or respond to a direct question/comment right away, please do not take it personally.
I love the game mechanic in Warband and haven't enjoyed an online fighting game this much since Planetside was in its prime.
I dislike when my ping heads south or the batteries in my wireless mouse start to die. I absolutely hate when people spam 2-handers with no regard for teammates. As a result, I dislike that the GK server does not apply reflective damage.
My strengths are 1-handers and shields (especially the short sword variety), and anti-cavalry with a spear or bow. There is nothing quite as satisfying as a pike kill against a great lance or taking a rider off a horse with a head shot. I play all classes fairly well. Though I prefer infantry on siege maps because it keeps you in the middle of the action.
My weaknesses are x-bows and 2-handers. I am not terrible at manual blocking, but my game is heavily dependant on ping. When my ping is higher than 40 (as it often is) I don't even attempt 2-handed weapons. Also, I tend to get a little overzealous and rush head first into many enemies, when I should be waiting for support.
I like to play Nords, Swadians, and Vaegirs. Incidentally, Snoop may have rendered me useless to the Rebels in the ROCK campaign by choosing Rhodoks. The only faction I play less effectively would be the S-nids.
I'm always up for some sparring if anyone ever wants to jump into one of the duel servers.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hey guys!
I'm Peacecraft, I got the name from one of my favorite characters, Milliardo Peacecraft who goes by Zechs Merquise in Mobile Suit Gundam (no I'm not a huge anime nerd, just like a couple of em ) I've gone by the name of Silentist before as well.
My real name is Sasha, I'm from Russia originally but grew up and currently go to school in Massachusetts.
I'm a college student hoping to go to medical school in a year.
I have a long history of gaming (love the stuff!) and I've played a couple of the games mentioned in this thread, from Planetside to WoW, CS, and a bunch of others.
Warband has really captivated me. I've never played a game with such a complicated, yet easy to learn combat system. I am absolutely in love with it!
I've played for about a year now, mostly on POM_Central and GK.
My favorite class has changed through time, at first I really enjoyed archery but recently I have gotten pretty good at melee. I absolutely detest the crossbow however, can't seem to hit anything with it and the reload time is another annoyance. I'm okay with cav but it's not my specialty. I find the adrenaline rush I get while facing groups of people solo and coming out on top comparable to nothing else I've experienced while gaming. - I am such a nerd
I tend to be a little overly-competitive and I generally strive to be the best (there goes my ego). However don't get the wrong impression about me, I'm generally a pretty nice guy (unless you TK me!). I like to help people out if they have questions, or call people out on being idiots in chat (gets me into trouble usually). I am generally a solo type of dude but when there is an organized group I will drop my act and sacrifice for the good of the team, teamwork can really shine in this game.
I like to analyze my gameplay, picking a weakness to improve on each session. I've gotten a pretty solid grasp on feinting, footwork, manual blocking, fake-out movements, and a whole bunch of other tactics. Ask me if you guys have any questions or would like to get some help with the fundamentals - I can hop on a duel server with you and maybe see what you're doing wrong.

My favorite class has changed through time, at first I really enjoyed archery but recently I have gotten pretty good at melee. I absolutely detest the crossbow however, can't seem to hit anything with it and the reload time is another annoyance. I'm okay with cav but it's not my specialty. I find the adrenaline rush I get while facing groups of people solo and coming out on top comparable to nothing else I've experienced while gaming. - I am such a nerd
I tend to be a little overly-competitive and I generally strive to be the best (there goes my ego). However don't get the wrong impression about me, I'm generally a pretty nice guy (unless you TK me!). I like to help people out if they have questions, or call people out on being idiots in chat (gets me into trouble usually). I am generally a solo type of dude but when there is an organized group I will drop my act and sacrifice for the good of the team, teamwork can really shine in this game.
I like to analyze my gameplay, picking a weakness to improve on each session. I've gotten a pretty solid grasp on feinting, footwork, manual blocking, fake-out movements, and a whole bunch of other tactics. Ask me if you guys have any questions or would like to get some help with the fundamentals - I can hop on a duel server with you and maybe see what you're doing wrong.

Still a new comer to this game, started playing about 4-5 months ago but used to play Age Of Chivalry a lot and surprisingly never heard of this game until recently. I figured I would join the rebels as Ive been looking for a laid back clan to add some immersion to this game and of course I enjoy killing some GK from time to time . Anyone who has played with me knows im not much of a talker but I do follow orders quite well.
Strengths: 1h/2h axes and clubs, ive been practicing my blocking with 2 handers but im still not the best at it. Best with axes, as my name would imply
Weaknesses: Impatient, i tend to rush out a lot and fight 3-5 people at once, which usually doesnt end too well

i WAS a chemistry student...BS in CHem. But after realizing that I couldn't do much with it...except going to med/dental/etc schools...which I also realized I didn't wanna do...I decided to go into accounting. So now I'm getting my Master's in accounting...which is always in high demand anywhere in the world.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Sounds like me! I was going to go to med school, then decided against that. I graduated and now I can't decide what to do with myself. The economy doesn't exactly help either!

Re: Introduce yourself!
Guess I ought to go ahead an do this.
Game name, Tater (Formerly Tater_Tits)
Explanation, my last name is similar to the word Tater so Tater has always been a nickname and tater tits was my nickname during high school football. Funny how insults can become endearing, however that being 4 years in the past, I kind of grew tired of it.
Age, 21
Occupation, Student at Presbyterian College (small liberal arts school)
Location, South Carolina
Mount and Blade history. Played the original. I remember when my friend described it to me as Medieval II Total War from the individual level I was immediately bent on getting the game. The hours I have spent playing are massive. I am historically a single player fan, however I can easily get sucked into Multiplayer. I prefer sieges as they are the most tactical of games without long delays. Developed a reputation, based primarily on my name and modest skill. 22nd was my stomping ground. Got sick of it and played other games.
Recently got back into it and have been playing pretty darn well generally.
Strengths
Axes. I don't mean big axe spam but a trusty one handed axe, and a decent shield. I prefer a good short weapon and a shield
Throwing. I am pretty freaking good at throwing things into other people's faces. I am comfortable to the point where I am no longer consciously aiming so much as feeling it.
Cavalry. After so much SP, I am quite comfortable on a horse with a trusty lance and shield
Moving to the flag. I don't care if I have no shield and a club, if the flag is in danger, I get to it.
Jumping. I don't know why, but I can jump like a pro and get my blade in my opponent's face.
Moderate.
Shooting, I can get in the zone but I am generally quite average.
2 handed, not a spammer and can block the average player (when in doubt block left)
Weakness
Manual blocking. Also overhead swings destroy me.
Falling for feints. Due to my reliance on the fast weapon, I try and take every opening I see, sometimes it aint an opening.
Need to type and taunt my opponents. I die too often while typing something.
Favorite Race. In case it is not obvious from my love of axes and throwing axes, Nords.
Least Favorite Race. Swadia, swords bore me.
Favorite Class. Infantry though not above getting a horse and at least riding to battle.

Occupation: Student, teacher, savior.
Why I chose that name for my character? Not sure, actually.
Likes: How M/B is the game ive had the most fun with, even after money prize tournaments with BF2.
Dislikes: Meanies.
Strengths: spam. Lots and lots of spam. Sniping faces with bows and sword cav. I specialize in fighting more then one person at a time, because in duels i get to focused and fail hardcore. I also like to do ridiculous things like naked warhammer.....lots. My fighting style can be summed up on a single word: Lucky.
Weaknesses: Well, I'm not to good at manual blocking due to my spazyness. I dont use shields a whole lot on battle servers so i tend to get massacred by ranged....
AND BTW. Hello
Weaknesses: Any strike that comes close to me.
Still improving: Manual blocking, hardcore.

Occupation: Video game software developper
I've started playing this game when a co-worker of mine told me to check it out, 2-3 years ago. I then tried the demo and I totally fell in love with it. It's been a while since then... but my heart is still pumping adrenaline, guts rejecting my last meal and <insert genital organ here> splashes all around.
The only games that have caused the similar effects on me were Ultima Online and a Quake 2 mod called Action. I have goosebumps just typing down their names
Likes: the combat system, point barre.
Dislikes: how easy it is to troll, OP 2h swords that render useless most other types of weapons
Strengths: spears
Weaknesses: 2h swords...
Still improving: Everything, but mostly kicks and chambers!
