    Other Information

    In a few sentences, how would you describe yourself to us?
    I am a midwestern American that has a sort of jack-of-all interest in the world, its people, and its knowledge. Having recently completed my Master's I am intending to get to work abroad in Europe, but can never shake my love of games and a good conversation--so Skjaldborg seems like just the place for me.

    Looking for a random fact to talk about for an hour over your favorite game? Message me! I am your man!

    In a few sentences, how would you describe your gaming habits?
    To summarize my gaming habits, I would say frequent and varied. Frequent in that I am on at least twice a week (although currently almost every night), and varied in that my games of choice are broad in genres and enjoyed interchangeably with one another. I am open for trying new games and being socially interactive throughout.

    What are you looking for from this community?
    I am looking for just that, a real community, but of gamers. I want to find socially active and cooperatively supportive members who are interested in the players as much as the game. At the same time, I like to focus during certain moments of a game and enjoy a group that can focus up too.

    How did you hear about the Skjaldborg?
    I was introduced to the community through MagnusEffect after a good few gaming session on Planetside 2.

    What do you feel you will bring to the community?
    Setting aside any cliches, I bring a real love for games, a social personality, and a real interest in making friends. I'll try to be a positive influence and bright part in your groups Discord channels.

    On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being very casual, and 10 being very hardcore what is your ATTITUDE?
    I would give myself a seven for "attitude" in terms of my personal drive and focus, but a 4 in my social personality. I can have a good time and laugh-- but give my attention to important matter (or game coordination) as situations arise.

    How many hours per week do you estimate you play online games?
    20 (currently)

    What time zone do you normally game in?
    Central US (UTC - 6) or GMT (UTC)

    Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know.
    I have access to a good library of games, VR and a decent internet connection able to host.

    Game Interest

    What online multiplayer games do you play regularly?
    Planetside 2
    Elite Dangerous
    Total War: Warhammer 2
    Don't Starve Together
    Tabletop Simulator
    MORDHAU
    PUBG

    What is your account name(s) for those games? If possible please link to your profile as well.
    Adunadain (all platforms)

    What kind of roles do you like to play?
    Commander
    Base Builder/Manager
    Engineer

    Do you prefer heavy roleplay or more casual story interaction?
    I can work with either--I am flexible.

    Depends-- their's the sugary kind and chocolate kind. A good snickers or butterfingers if chocolate, starbursts if sugary. One caveat, however, is that a caramel apple, while not candy in the typical sense, is the most fitting seasonal treat.

    As far as vikingisms go, I prefer the motion of cutting- more dynamic and more optionality for flair! <- is a statement with exclamation

    Coke--and the logic is clear: People prefer Pepsi in single-sip taste tests because it is sweeter, but Coke for an entire beverage, as the flavor is more complex. Here is an interesting article that explains it in more detail! : https://www.wideopeneats.com/difference-coke-pepsi/

    Welcome to the 'Borg! For the next week or so, you'll be on a probationary period. After such a time you'll be fully indoctrinated into the Meat and the Mead!
