Other character(s) you play: Rating: 190ish Threat: as above Clan: my own (on colby) The Citizens Advice Bureau. Enf clan. We are all called Citizen something (I am 5), currently there is 1,2, 5,6,8 and Cain (we dont know why he didnt pick a number) active over there but none on the forums.
Previous clan(s) you have been in and reason(s) why you left said clan(s):
In APB? None apart from my own which is a group of rl and internet friends who have gamed together for about ten years. We are a gaming community I guess in the simplest sense of the word, not unlike Wet Bandits from what I have seen. A small handful of my friends play APB but we are dotted across the globe on various timezones. Due to that we tend to play on Colby server as it is the easiest ping for all of us to cope with (the most fair that is) as we have players in Australia as well as Europe and the US. However I sometimes play alone and so have recently rolled a char on the EU server for that as I prefer the lower pings to be more successful. I love playing as a part of a team and enjoy the social aspect of playing with a group of friends as opposed to a group of try hards or people who are generally uncoordinated with their tactics. I am by no means an elitist but I do enjoy the competitive games more than "pub" games where one team gets stomped, even if that is the team I am on that is winning. I would rather let the other team take a few objectives and continue the game if playing against an unevenly matched team.
I have only ever quit one clan, Nervous Energy (in Unreal 2k4) because they upgraded to UT3 and I couldnt afford the new pc to do it. I went inactive and then the clan basically became a gaming community but by then I had moved on anyway and played new games. They went xbox in the end and i stayed with pc games. Other than that have played a history of shooters from the original wolfenstein (the early 1990s) through Doom (all versions), Quake (all versions), Unreal Tournament (all versions) and Battlefield (all versions inc xbox) and the GTA series (from GTA 1 and London through to present day). I have also played Wow (for a few months - I know, sorry) and I absolutely love Skyrim. I might go play ESO in the future but again its down to having people to play with. If others get it I usually follow.
Favourite weapon(s)/weaponrole(s): Probably the AK (N-Tech Dvah) due to its versatility although I made my money playing as pointman originally with a Whisper. I have an lmg also but thus far have not touched the sniper, marksman or explosives roles to any degree. I refuse to be an osmaw retard. I dont really have a preferred tactic, I tend to adapt to the situation. I usually roll with a spawn point in my car and tend to park it in a tactical location and flank the enemy and pick off stragglers or assault the objective alone from an "off-side" location. This is because my pc is a bag of shit currently and thus I get better fps with less going on on screen.
Hours actively played in APB (type /played in the in-game chat): Estimate at around 250 across 3 chars. Weekly online time (amount and time of day approximately): a few hours a day sometimes, other times not at all. I work shifts. I do not have much of a routine outside of that.
What makes you have fun in APB?: shooting people and driving around What makes you rage in APB?: not much. getting repeatedly owned by people makes me get annoyed sometimes but internally and usually not on the mic. I hate it when teammates do dumb stuff but I would rather counsel and advise than rage and quit. On the whole if I get angry I usually just take 5 (hence the name) and go make a brew before I calm down. Failing that I go and paint up a few cars and then come back with a fresh outlook, atttitudinal correction.
How did you hear about us?: APB forum Why do you want to join us?: Because I have been on the flip side of this recruitment process and I know from experience that if people can be arsed to make one of these threads then they are actually serious about joining your clan. Why should we accept your application?: you shouldnt, I am a complete asshole and all of this is made up in the vain hope you might take it seriously.
How can we contact you?(Steam nickname, e-mail adress): on here is fine. I will be back to check pm inbox.
Hi Al, nice application I will be on APB later, just getting some footage for a new video on bf4 at the min. I will add you in game when I come online and get you grouped up with us.
I like a little humour when I write and it seemed the most appropriate.
When do you guys normally play apb? Weeknights? I presume youre all GMT/EU timezones? I will try to get on this week for an hour one night but next week I go on to night shift so you should probably see a bit more of me. My girlfriend sleeps in a room 2 doors up though when I play so I tend to have to whisper a lot on TS if i speak at all.

We play both weekend nights and at the weekend usually. I should be on tonight if you wanna game?
Don't think I can make it to play this week guys. Got uni work to finish by next Thursday so gonna be hitting the books for a few days but soon am up for playing with you for sure.
me again - sorry not been around in the last week. I had a lot of uni work to finish and got that all handed in on thursday, so will hopefully have more time to play games now. Recently (last week) picked up Elder Scrolls Online also so have been playing a bit of that in my time off in the day time.
I know you guys dont know me very well and I am not part of your community properly because we havent dated yet, and I havent met your folks and all of that but I just want to say that if anyone is interested in playing ESO I can happily answer any questions you might have about the game. If you like mass pvp you will probably really like it but I have to warn you it IS a game that you would be best playing in a group in. If you (a few of you) are interested in playing I can wholly recommend it if you fancy cooperative team based play (but in bigger games than APB gives you).
I am still (obviously) gonna come and play APB with you (hopefully in the week next week now) but just wanted to say this as ESO needs a bunch of people to pvp in it (well I fancy having more people to play with) and you could easily move your clan over to be an ESO guild branch type deal.
Anyway I am hoping some of you will like it and if not then I will polish my N-Tec for some games monday or tuesday.
