As the number of people in the Ascension community have been increasing as of late, I wanted to make sure to the best of my ability that no one goes un-noticed (both old community members and new ones!) as we're trying to make a great community for Ascension! This thread will allow a good starting point for people who are new members of the community to get their posting juices flowing, and to get an idea of some of the people who are a part of this community thus far. For those of you who are unsure as of what to say, here are a few ideas:

What's your favorite multiplayer first person shooter? Favorite mod for that (if applicable)? Any particular reason why?
Favorite single player game?
Where abouts are you from?
Favorite drink?
Occupation?
And so forth.

If you're wondering on what exactly some of the development staff's answers to these are, you can see them here

Also, don't be afraid to respond with your opinion in threads! Even though we may not comment on all the threads, we definitely read them and want your opinions

Welcome to the Ascension community, happy posting, and check your private message inbox

Hi, I just joined a couple weeks ago. I was happy to hear about this project, mainly because the fans of tribes are making it. I wish that I could help, but I don't seem to have any of the skills that I've seen listed. I would LOVE to beta test, however.

MP FPS: Tribes 2, version 2 mod. I know lots of people hate that mod, but the nimble shrike movement really gets me. I love dancing about in a cloud of missiles that miss me as I cause them to do my bidding. Classic and Aerial Dogfight are great as well, and I wish that I had discovered Team Rabbit 2 early enough to be competetive in it.

Single player: Halo 2, which takes 3rd place in the MP FPS slot, too.

I'm 23, and a physics grad student at the University of Chicago. I just started working on the ATLAS high energy physics experiment, based at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. I'm living in Chicago for now, but will be spending one or two of the next three or four years in Geneva.

hi there i've been playing tribes 1 since the summer of 2003, i started on meltdown hell and then moved to biowasteland.

i'm very dedicated to tribes because it the only fps i've ever really liked. i usually stick to strategy games, RPGs and that kind of stuff, but there was just something special about tribes.

my favorite single player shooter was Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, but my favorite game of all time would have to be Skies of Arcadia Legends

i'm almost 16, going to be a junior in the fall. i love star wars, i'm into speed metal, and i'd like to be an engineer or mathmetician when i grow up.

Favorite multiplayer game/mod: Tribes 2, Lakrabbit probably, but I play base CTF on the demo just as much
I also liked to play early versions of the construction mod where it was more difficult to build, and it involved quite a bit of problem solving and thinking.

Favorite singleplayer game: I don't play many, but Donkey Kong Country for SNES was bitching

From Durham, NC.
Student.

I spend my time on the computer, playing jazz and new age piano, composing, listening to music, enjoying nice weather, etc...

(Cool topic idea, I like reading through these.)

Well, let's see...


I'm 18, and I come from the glorious country of Hungary (feel free to bust out the maps for this one, it's right there next to Molvania ). Will be starting my second year in university, studying to become a "program designer mathematician". Which I hope will translate into game design sooner than later.


Favorite online game is Tribes (duh). I usually play base, with the occasional Paintball mod thrown in when I fel like playing CS.

The favorite single player game award goes undoubtedly to Deus Ex, though there are many strong candidates (including but not limited to System Shock 2, the Prince of Persia trilogy, Oni, Tron 2.0 and M.A.X.). You'll probably note that I like options and customizability.


My interests are computers and brainstorming. Given enough time and interest, I can sit down and reduce most everything to a bunch of basic rules and correlations. Arguably a useful skill for other than theology, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Great to see everyone posting
Nice to learn a little more about the you all who have been helping build the community for Ascension! Keep the posts coming!

For the record, Donkey Kong Country for the SNES did rock, as did Deus Ex. Although I was dissapointed with the second one.

Who wasn't?

MP game favorites:
Tribes 2 - Meldown2 mod VERY VERY early verisons (later ones were crap) and Masters mod.

SP game favorites:
Alpha Centauri - old but the newer civ games have just been crap to me so stick with it.
Freespace 2 - just so different from Alpha Centauri that I have to put it too.

Im a 19 year old cripple (but you wouldn't know it seeing me) living in mormon park USA (had a friend once that said they should fence Utah in and put rides through like Jurassic Park).

Interests pretty much ditto Amadeus (learnt coding from scratch simply by sittin down and reading it). Done almost 2 years of college in Computer Science but had to quit because getting too sick/tired and found out teh strain was likely eating my internal organs xD.

Me ina box. I guess. Maybe. Pretty much.

Any particular reason why? I made or helped with them.

Hi,

My favorite multiplayer FPS is Tribes, I lead the Die Schwarzdreieck (.*.) clan in the Biowasteland mod, some of my fantastic members include Zaxx and Justice here. As a clan we are sort of planning on shifting to Ascension when it's out due to the near-death state of Tribes.

Favorite single player game is also Final Fantasy VII, followed closely by Half-Life 2

I'm from western Montana...

Favorite drink... Ginger ale, and none of that canada dry or schwepps pisswater, the good stuff that comes in glass and has some bite.

No real job, just do random stuff for my dad when i need money. Going to college in about a month.

Glad to be here
