Name: [DAP]fnord
Age: 32
Location: Southbury, CT
How I Found Out About Lang:
I've been playing exclusively on Needlefeast for at least 6 months now. There are other servers, but why bother?
Likes:
Killing, maiming, destroying, players who understand sarcasm, monkeys.
Dislikes:
Whiners, simpletons, terrorists, people who insist on using up all the landmines in like 3 locations. It's called "Frugality," people.
Biography:
I've been in the FPS scene since Doom was released. I've been a beta tester for iD, Raven and Microsoft, and actually wrote the README for Quake 2's CTF (when I used to hang out with Zoid and Xian and others every day on IRC). I got bored to tears with the FPS genre, and left it completely for a good 4-5 years, until ET came out, and now I can't stop playing. If I'm awake, I'm planning new strategies.
Why I Should Be a Member:
I play on Needlefeast pretty much daily. I am a versatile player, although I specialize in being a Medic or a FieldOps. My Engineer skills are pretty good too -- my land mines aren't in everyday locations, and they get lots more kills because of it. I've got some really solid PHP skills and am a good graphic designer, and can contribute to whatever's needed. If you need help with any sort of open source project, I'm your man. The [DAP] clan has fallen apart (they're currently engrossed in UT2K4, and as un-clan-like as you can get), and I need somewhere to focus my energies. I like the langstas.
Oh, and I have every episode of MST3K ever aired. That's gotta count for something.
OH, and you guys need a Clubber.Lang. I'd actually change my nick to pull it off.

You pronouce it like fjord, but with an n.
It comes from a Robert Anton Wilson book. It is misdefined all over the net.
Basically, fnords are things that the government trains us to be afraid of from a very young age. We're trained not to look at them, because we are so frightened of them.
Then the government puts them *everywhere*, in newspapers, on television, on billboards, on the streets, absolutely everywhere, so that we are in a constant state of fear. An actual quote is "If you don't see the fnords, they can't eat you." It's a very weird book.
The reason for all this is that without fear, we don't need government.
It seems kinda poingant in today's world, so I adopted it about 6 years ago. I used to be known as August West, or augstwest on Slashdot.
