Professional stuff type things

[Ellarisa]

ok so they finally got around to playing with the professional program again.
in the stuff that kintaii posted it said that you have to write some kind of "campaign speech". after spamming him in PM's a lil he said it could be anything ya want to "motivate" people.
so i figured i'd write a little history about myself.

here goes.

i started playing on the 2nd of june in 2006 on rimor. I rolled a soli NT and got her to 11 in 3 days (awesome, i know)
on the 5th of june i switched to Atlantean and once again rolled an NT (ellarisa) which i played for quite a while. my NT on rimor hasn't done any leveling since.
2-3 weeks later my engineer (darkellarisa) was born (22nd of june if i remember correctly).
i dont remember the exact reason why i rolled her, but i think it was cause it looked quite fun.
over the next few months i rolled various alts while leveling most of em a bit.

the next change was somewhere mid november of 2006, when i finally decided to get the expansions. my engineer was around level 110 at the time.
about a week after i got expansions i set foot in SL for the first time, guided by my friend Irna.

on the 3rd of december i did my first AI raid on my engineer and got my first ai level!
on the 8th of december i got picked off of LFT for an ai raid by an alt of fixalated and bitsmack in Aristocracy's city.
i raided with em for quite some time (3.5 months) till i finally decided to level up some more.

at this point i was using a bathrobe, T1 armor, a CR, a 200ish VTS and a set of untyped kyr pistols (ql 89/170ish). symbs werent all that bad, but not all that great either (didnt do any real big twinking).

on my road to higher levels i also started looking around the forums and ofcourse started reading the forums.
it is at this point that i started caring a lot more about DD and twinking (i blame muhandes )

at 180 i did my very first solo ground raid, i remember dying 3 times, but i did get a gen!
after a lot of unsuccesfull ai raids i decided to level up to 185 and buy myself sotos to help manage the agro (borrowed creds for this)
stayed at 185 for 2-3 weeks and got lucky when i got 2 supple bots in 1 weekend.
at this point i also managed to twink on a ql 210 eye and leg symbiant (not all that impressive, but a big accomplishment for me)
it is at this level that i also got a set of 175 ofab armor (except head) and a 175 pregrine. (BS actually ran at this level back then )

next stop was 201 on the 19th of may 2007. at this level i got in a few ql 220 symbs and i got myself to ai 20.
while leveling up from 185 to 220 i kept soloing groundraids.

at level 205 i got in a bunsh of 230-240 symbs and upgraded my main hand weapon to a 250 peregrine mk6 (ql 175 in off hand)

next major stop is level 210, where i stayed for about 2 months.
at this level i got myself another 3 ai levels, upgraded my symbs to mostly 250s, got myself my first piece of ql 300 CC (a chest) and also got various things from pande with hellcom.

on the 5th of august 2007 i finally continued leveling until i hit 215 on the 11th.
here i stayed for 5 months and did quite a lot of things.
i got myself up to ai 26, finished all lvl 9 research and 2 or 3 level 10s.
i also upgraded my equipment.
i got another piece of ql 300 CC (pants) and 2 pieces of ql 223 CC (sleeve and helmet).
i upgraded my symbiants to all ql 270s except a 250 head symb.
i upgraded my weapons to a 300/250 peregrine combination.
i also managed to get my hands on a few intel symbs and some alba toys
at this level i also got myself up to 2.5k tokens (95% RK mishs )

on the 30th of december of 2007 i decided to finally start leveling again and clean out my 7mil SK pool.
after a 40ish hour grind (with a small break here and there ofc) i managed to hit 220 on the 1st of january 2008 at 1 am european time

somewhere in the first part of 2008 i switched from dual peregrines to peregrine/bigburger (could be imep or amep combined with bigburger, not 100% sure)
on the 13th of april 2008 i put in a full set of ql 300 symbs after finally getting the aquarius gloves (i bid 500 points, paid 200ish for it )
somewhere during the summer of 2008 i switched to an extermination occular (starting with a 256 one)

on the 9th of november 2008 i finally hit ai 30 after a small break.

at the start of this year after some drama i decided to create my own org and played without org beni's until instanced cities were released (not advised tbh)
i also trolled around test for a bit in the first part of this year and took a small break from ao just after LoX got released.
when i came back in got myself all the beta symbs and upgraded my intels to alphas and i upgraded my eoe to a ql 290. (was way too easy)

ok now the stuff that matters for the professional position:
- i love my engineer and it's imo the most fun profession of em all
- unlike what my reputation says and what people think, i do actually enjoy pvp once in a while and i'd love to have a pvp-viable setup without all the current drawbacks.
- i give most people a chance to prove themselves before they get classified as idiots or retards
- my pets think that solja legs are a delicacy
- i dont like TSkill monkeys
- one wall of text per day makes all frustrations go away!

enough rambling from me, time to get back to work

edit: i outdid myself, extreme wall o.o

[zartosht]

I was about to nominate you and juts realized that you are Belgian. So I will nominate Aramsunat instead!

/sarcasm off

The question is who should we nominate besides you?

[Chrazy]

huge wall of text

tl;dr version
"Hi! I started playing mid 2006. I think engineer is the bestest prof in all of AO so vote for me!"

[Philty]

I think I will support Ella despite the fact he is omni scum

The question is who else is actually interested enough to be professional to fill second spot as this requires something more than just play this profession well.

[Mereditche]

Hi, are you from Belgium?

if you know me, you know i'm more neutral then most neutrals
i picked omni when i started on atlantean because i had a friend that was playing omni. (ellarisa is still neutral on rk2 )

Hi, are you from Belgium?

what zart said is correct, yes i am

Greetings,

[Omutb]

edit: and yes i am from belgium

Wonder why people are so interested in that lol

Either way, I guess whats more important is french, dutch or german

[Mereditche]

Wonder why people are so interested in that lol

Because Belgium >>> rest of world of course, read memo!

[Ellarisa]

dutch, but if you talk dutch to me in ao i'll always answer in english. dutch+AO just doesnt seem right
Greetings,



Ellarisa

edit: you from belgium too, mere?

Ella, You've already got my nomination waaaay before you started this thread.

but as for the other nominee, I do believe that it should go to someone who is still actively playing and friendly as well as knowlegeable of the engineer profession, so that part automatically disqualifies Nick, Stage and Major ...especially Nick and Major. Stage would be the lesser of the three evils but I still gave myself a nomination as I am qualified regardless of what others may think of me based on my character.
(Heavy PvM DD, Decent PvP and can TS everything in game)
and don't dare snicker cuz I'm nade; if Uiant can use MA, I can use nade.

[Technogen]

I refuse to vote for you unless you make 1 reply in this thread that does NOT have your "Greetings" line in it.

[Madene]

As said before, huge wall of text .

Kinda hard to choose which one to vote for since i dont know all of you very well. Ella youre active on the boards and have an amazing dmg setup. I have been playing this game since 2002. I have several accounts and 220 chars and pvp is the only reason i keep playing my engineer. I just posted in this thread because i realy like to see at least one pvp engie as one of the professionals. I don't care about tskills, grenade weapons, ma or if both our professionals come from the same server. I do care about our profession being an attractive team member in pvm though.

I just don't want to swap to a new weapon line every patch, just because the best pvp setup was just nerfed or see my defense become weaker for every patch without us getting improved offense. Id vote for who ever can handle flame wars and get engies pvp wishes heard, and stick around for awhile.

for me that'd still qualify those 3, but i wont say more then that, dun want to ruin their rep

done

if you're from RK1, send me a tell ingame, i'll add you to the collection

Ella youre active on the boards and have an amazing dmg setup.

thank you, i do my best.

I have been playing this game since 2002. I have several accounts and 220 chars and pvp is the only reason i keep playing my engineer.

dont think you're alone in this

I just posted in this thread because i realy like to see at least one pvp engie as one of the professionals.

i do care about pvp, but you're right, a "real" pvp engi prof would be nice.

I don't care about tskills, grenade weapons, ma or if both our professionals come from the same server.

i like you already

I do care about our profession being an attractive team member in pvm though.

this is one of the reasons that i'm a dd prostitute

I just don't want to swap to a new weapon line every patch, just because the best pvp setup was just nerfed or see my defense become weaker for every patch without us getting improved offense.

that prolly describes most of us, it's annoying as hell to get support for a different weapon every patch which basicly keeps us with sub-par "main" weaponry and 8 y/o stuff that keeps working better then new stuff...

Id vote for who ever can handle flame wars and get engies pvp wishes heard, and stick around for awhile.

dunno if i'll be able to handle it, but i'll certainly do my best

now specially for technogen the ending of my post:

Love,



Ellarisa

[Susi]

My love and support for Ella, she's a hottie

[IHaveHugeNick]

Is it just me who finds the whole idea for a vote quite funny? Especially on The Workshop where traditionally, generation after generation , people are being ********s to each other.

[Xyphos]

if you're from RK1, send me a tell ingame, i'll add you to the collection

Oh, ya... she keeps a collection of Engineer Voodoo dolls.
I think I still have pins in both of Bitbucket's eyes to this day.

Now, now, we're still civilized as long as we put our hats and gloves back on after hitting each other with them.

Although, it would be interesting to find out which person is unlazy enough to become Ella's partner in crime! *coughs*rocker
