Application - Connor O'Neill (SEQAN) [Accepted]

by **Seqan** Mon 19 Jul 2010 - 23:07

Character Name: Connor O'Neill
Requested Callsign: Seqan
Location: Texas, USA, Central Time Zone (-6)
Desigred Activity: Fighter, Scout, Trader, maybe Trainer if I can get my PVP act together, and maybe (this is my ambition coming into play here), Defender.
Freelancer Background: My first encounter with anything like freelancer was an iTouch game called Galaxy on Fire. I recommended this game to a friend of mine, and he played it and recommended Freelancer to me. This was a couple of months ago before school ended. He gave me a NoCD copy of the game and I got straight to flying. I knew from the moment I left Manhattan that this was going to take some getting used to. But I had already decided that I liked the game for the storyline.

The game version he gave me, quite unfortunately, was modded. It had the Adv. Beam mod and, though I hadn't found it, the Uber Shield mod. I hated the beam mod because it took away from the fun of the game in my opinion, so I ditched that starflier as soon as I could. After that, the game got very interesting and I loved it all the more. ('cept when there were NPCs I had to face that had those bloody beams...)

I continued on and beat the storyline. I was horrified. The game had ended too soon. Now what was I supposed to do? The answer came in the form of yet another friend of mine at school who saw me trying to get the game to run off of my flash drive (a pathetic attempt as the computers at school do not work very well) and he told me about Crossfire. He said that it extended the story quite a bit and gave it a huge graphics work up. After school ended I found Crossfire and spent about four hours trying to get it to work (I had downloaded it improperly so the FLMM wasn't updating the game correctly, I'm not bad with computers in the least). Once I had it working, I went to camp for three weeks and almost died wondering how good the game was going to be now.

I was impressed. I really liked Crossfire and proceeded to beat the original storyline and start exploring the Crossfire storyline. After I had done some of that and gotten stuck, I thought "Maybe some people in Multiplayer can help me out!". I got my help, got bored, and started playing in multiplayer permanently.

I freelanced for a while and found some help in the form of Incognito, who in passing, mentioned that he was gonna join SA.

Here I am following him in the hopes of finding some friends who can help get my ego down, and my skills up in this awesome game.

Heh...my W/L percentage is like 29 percent. over 100 deaths.
Very Happy

Every loss teaches you something.
Every win only shows you what you already knew.

Nice speech ZEROTH. But things you already know might not be what you are already thinking. You a saying that a lose is better than a win. It could be true, to be honest I don't think about that too much.

Welcome to the team SA_SEQAN

The Desktop I'm using is temporey, So I can't go online at the moment.
