    A)
    I was skeptical before the beta, but I enjoyed every class to 13 lvl (except maybe dark templar). I like the game, its quest and combat systems.

    I also enjoy “duo” play and typically find a partner that we create 2 alts that exclusively designed to play together.
    Q) Do you have any questions for us?
    A)


    Yes. I would like to know which server Hammerfest Clan is starting on 17th.

    Christmas-themed post colors aside, your app is thin like a hobo's sock heel. Try reading our sample apps, or any of the stickied threads at the top of the guest forum. We generally like to get a sense of your personality from the app process, but all I'm picking up off your app is "Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto". And I don't really mean that in a good way.

    I answered questions provided in, what I believe, concise and effective manner.

    There are many things I can tell about myself, but it is always best to know a person based on actions, not words.


    But, if you insist:

    I was born in Nigniy Tagil, Russian Federation July 17 1966.
    Graduated Masters of engineering (or equivalent) from Ural's State Technical University in 1988.
    I was a first lieutenant of tank forces of USSR
    I am married and have a daughter 15yo, who plays TF2 with her friends as we speak. She played EQ1 when she was 6.
    My business is IT consulting; I am a principal architect/ technical project manager in charge of high volumetric projects in Data Warehousing, Data Integration and Master Data management.

    See? That's awesome! You're Russian, you drove tanks, and your 15 year old daughter is probably the person that keeps kicking my ass in TF2. Had you mentioned this up front, your sparsity of words would have been attributed to grim Russian stoicism.

    Now I'm more favorably inclined toward your app. I won't, however, call you Comrade, because then you would have every right to kill me, and it wouldn't even get you a misdemeanor fine in most of the US.

    What's your opinion (if you have one) on Medvedev's ascendency to the Presidency? I've been wanting to ask someone from Russia, but the closest person I know was born in Romania, so he really doesn't care. Smile

    Post by Fred_mar Wed May 07, 2008 10:04 pm

    Well, to be honest, I am too far from Russian business these days.

    However, over the years I reviewed my views and currently starting to believe that democracy is like AK-47. It is an inacsurate and reliable weapon, but you do not want to give it to 5 yo.

    My dad has been a very passionate dissident during communist times and he still lives there.
    Now he believes it is not that simple, and I incline to listen to him. Main point is that population is not prepared for our (US style) democracy just yet.

    I do believe that Putin and Medvedev are actually good for Federation as far they bringing some structure and order (although sacrificing some liberties). Over time, in generation or two, democracy will take its natural course there.

    Post by Fred_mar Wed May 07, 2008 10:14 pm

    Technically, I served in military 2 year term as per conscription law.
    In practical terms, I served one day a week over five years + 2 month military training camp in university, and 3 month reserve call at the time of afghan war (but not as part of contingent) as a "rota" commander- it is between a platoon and a company, 10 tanks - 3 units of three tanks plus mine.

    At the time of immigration to US my military classification was something like "deputy battalion commander - material part and logistics".

    I have not seen any combat myself, nor did I ever want to.

    People, seriously - you all KNOW you wanna hear him on Vent. Admit it. It's okay. If he talks like he types I'm going to ask him to record books on DVD for me to listen to on long flights. "It was best of times, it was worst of times..."

    Plus, he's definitely making the effort. He even responded to my snide initial post. He gets the Dao Seal of Approval: Thumbs Up

    Aye. There's an old saying that goes something like "War is glamerous to those who have never experienced it." It's good that you stood ready to defend your nation, but I'm glad for your sake you never had to see combat.

    If there's two things Dao can't stand in a woman, it's fear, and spitting.

    Not that you're a woman; I really just wanted to make a joke about women and spitting.

    ...now I feel kinda dirty.

    The green hurt my eyes, but it was unique...

    Based on you monitoring the forum, and your frankness in answering our questions, and most especially for your statement “However, over
    the years I reviewed my views and currently starting to believe that democracy is like AK-47. It is an inacsurate and reliable weapon, but you do not want to give it to 5 yo.”, you have my vote!

    The Middle East is experiencing the same problems; for millennia they have been under tyranny, and are not yet ready for our democracy. Once a balance is found, things will get much better. But I digress…

    Cheers, and good luck with the application!

    PS I was onboard a submarine (USS classified) at (classified) location while we were having fun tracking (classified). Those were the good old days... I was (as was all the other submariners I know) extremely upset when Russia refused our help on the Kursk. We consider ourselves to be akin to all submariners (up until we're shooting, or being shot at, which hasn't happened in ages), so that was a very sad day for us as well.
