Elitists

[apious1]

I have played this game avidly since it's release (except for a short break after I had my first child). Those of you that know me, know me...I don't screw around. I am horribly impatient and overly egotistical. I was labeled a zerger almost from the inception of this game. I know 98% of the quests in this game backwards and forwards. I often laugh at myself late at night when I am running to or through a quest half-asleep and still end up and the correct destination. [eaten by cube]. I would like to say I have eight maxed out toons but I really just never saw the need (other than boredom...and I have to be pretty bored to play a newbie). Nowadays, I rarely play a quest with a PUG that I can't solo and there aren't many quests in the game that I can't solo. The only reason I usually even do it is to help out and boost my ego by hearing them say something like "Wow, you are awesome. Thank you for soloing that for us.".


So why the long explanation about myself...I am interested in finding other people on this server that fit the profile of an elitist and I am interested in hearing other people tout themselves. AND, I guess there is a small peice of me that wants to encourage other posters to flame this thread

So here are some basic questions to start off with:
1. Who are you?
2. What makes you so 1337 (l33t, elite, etc)?
3. What is your biggest accomplishment in the game to-date?

BTW, if you don't fit the profile and feel less than...keep PUG'ing and some day you too might become a Jedi-gamer.

Questions? No, you do not question me young one. I invented you. You may leave.

I'm not gonna flame you because a piece of me wants to be that type of uber player. I'll just have to settle for being upper-middle class...lol

Of course now I am going to be actively looking to group with you to see if I can keep up. And hope you won't boot me...lol

BTW, if you don't fit the profile and feel less than...keep PUG'ing and some day you too might become a Jedi-gamer.

I can only dream

LOL, Awesome thread dude.

1. Currently Samadhi, Nixole, Trypt, Raini, Prajna, Domi, Mantravah, Latiki, Jie, and Lunae.

2. Probably excellent key-mapping and the twitch skills to use it properly. Either that, or an inventive mind for where/how to skip fighting mobs to get to the chest faster.

3. Either a) currently 10 capped characters; and 4 more capped toons that have been deleted (RIP Lysergic, Hash, Jilla, Klista) or b) getting three characters to 1750 favor, one of which was a 32 point build, in 9 weeks - directly after the release of the desert (i.e. before gianthold, etc.)

Amusingly, I do still PUG. Usually only for the Reaver - but occasionally for other stuff. Why? Just because, if they can keep up, even minimal assistance will get the job done sooner than none. If they can't, they will probably drop from my group anyhow, and maybe the next person can keep up!! Naturally, though, if I have one fellow zerger on... two is more than enough.

[Dogchair]

1. I am what I am and who I am is what I is, which is not what I was or where I've been.
2. How can you define what you are if it is simply what you are? Can god truely breakdown why he is god?
3. My biggest accomplishment? Saving the lives of 2 kids an a mother in a burning apt. or mebbe turning my life around after 10 years of meth use.

So I was just checking back on this thread and saw that part of it was eaten by the cube. LOL.

It disturbs me that some of the elite players I have run with on this server are not posting when they should be taking a moment to brag about themselves...even someone as uber as me must bow occassionally to the skills of others. So I figured I would throw a few names out there to encourage them to post (there are quite a few more, but none that I have ever seen on the forums):
Twerpp
Maui
Manasponge
Aztar
Kudesnik
Katsumi
Oogly

If it makes you feel better Manasponge and I got a good laugh because of the thread last night And I notice my name was left off the list?

Considering I learned most everything I know about my sorc from you, shouldn't I at least get an honorable mention as a prospective elitist? :P

You are still just a Padawan Zerx

[EpicEbo]

You mentioned one name that stood above all the others for me...

Kudesnik!

The first time i grouped with kudes i could have sworn he was being attacked by 200 arcane oozes.

Never have i seen another expend spell points so quickly and efficiently.

Myself...My wife and I are so tired of PUGs where people slow us down, so we tend to duo all the time and beat 98% of quests just the two of us.

elite...well my greatest accomplishment is succesfully playing a "gimped" build. my main is Laquido Bono'Vouchi 7wiz/7clr. I heal, kill, Firewall, and rez the not so bright.

even with all my accomplishments i often bow to my wife who plays Ravenous, a barbarian that tends to often be the last one standing.

Kude is French Canadian though so by birthright he can't be UBER

Hadn't thought about him in forever - way to bring up some memories

1. Who are you?
See my signature. Since most elitists are good at looking down I don't have to tell you where it is.

2. What makes you so 1337 (l33t, elite, etc)?
Not defining myself or stroking my ego by how well I play a video game.

3. What is your biggest accomplishment in the game to-date?
Realizing it's just a game and laughing my way through my 1,000th run of TR because I was having a blast with friends in game.

(Being totally tongue in cheek and sarcastic. Play the game how you want!)

[Oreg]

I remember Okie from my Oreg / Zerco days. Sadly they are retired as well. Long ago when beta gave me high hopes for 28 point Neutral Good characters

[Lauranthis]

I am Sagittia, Hero of Stormreach.. enuff said

[actaeon]

Man, no mention of Advokate/Archaik/Adistal/Kamo? He'll pwn all of you :P. Currently seeking challengers in PvP or PvE (I guess that'l be kill count?)...

A true elitist challenges the other elitists .
