Who is The_Unknown?

General Introduce Yourself
1

Or short: TU. Should I answer this or remain unknown? I guess I’ll answer because I promised Pie X(

I got introduced to IC through a high school friend of mine (still friends) back in 2001 I think. I joined in triangulum round 1. At first I had a different nick but I quickly got banned for spamming so I made a new account and I didn’t want anyone to know I was that spammer and thus The_Unknown was born. Alas I also got known as a spammer under that nick :frowning:

Game wise I had a few decent rounds mostly as a banker, and a few great rounds in Draco as an attacking Revalons :smiley: . The game lured me in but it was for the community I stayed. I roamed the forums and the channels on IRC and got to know a bunch of idiots. I think it was TC’s idea to make it official and hence The Idiots [TI] were born. Most of my time on IC I wasn’t actively playing except for the few times we rallied an idiots family. Needless to say we weren’t really competitive, but we did have over 10k (right, TC?) threads in our fam forum! I had fun messing around like this for years :slight_smile:.

Oh, I did start up the first “Confessions” thread and it existed for a looooong time, not sure if it’s still around now. Should do some investigation!

I think it was more than 10,000. And we’d spam private messages to our enemies! Great fun.

We did a lot of goofing around like that and those times are some of my fondest memories of online gaming.

TU is a bottomless recipient for alcoholic beverages.

He also sits in an office and speaks with computers

I had the pleasure of playing with @The_Unknown one time.

He had a grudge with a family we were obviously going to have to fight, jumped himself, and hit them hella early in what looked like a suicide attack.

Dood listened!
the ferocity of it gave us some sweet map space, broke off the assault, econed for a day or two with the fam, jumped himself again and (as Cam) gave another fam far out on our rim fits for like a week never letting them get established on our edge.

We funded the skirmish because it let me set up on the bully fams, and hit them when it mattered without having small agressive fams nipping at us.

He got a bit p-fat and just fully joined the fam econ.

Not sure that was his goal, but we deffy were first in NW (by a mile) and second in P-count that round.

Honestly… that was one of the notably better “second attackers” we have ever had.

Thanks T_U
You played really well that round!!

Thanks Darrk!! It sure was a fun round :slight_smile: Usually my explo raids weren’t appreciated as much both in fam and outside but it worked out well yes :smiley:
