1. What is your view on the bracket's current state?
As I said in my guide I just finished, there is alot of good games, especially as of late, but the bracket as a whole is diminishing and what the bracket really needs is fresh blood that will take the constant elitism that is considered the normal and make it more into playing for fun and competition, Not just competition.
2. Do you support graveyard containment?
I seriously think this is a trick question, as alot of people know my opinion on this, GY containment is GY farming, farming is what is killing the bracket to the point where new twinks cant learn there classes and grow as twinks in general. Especially if they just sit as a ghost the whole time in GY. With that said its a powerful strategy that is very well executed often bye the more elitist guilds (no offense intended here). I can see why it is done but wish these guilds would show some pride in the bracket and instead of crushing the new less experienced twinks, let them have a chance of growth for the better of the bracket.
3. Is afking a game to avoid having a recorded loss justified?
Just like the question above, Im sure this isnt a serious question as most twinks know my opinion on afking. But in my opinion its worse than actually losing. going back into the subject above its the elitism that is really hurting the bracket, elitism has cultured an attitude that people all believe they are to good to lose. Now confidence is a great thing and will cause a player to play better, but it can be a downfall to, if you do not know how to lose how will you grow? I can keep on and on about this as I have a few threads about this very subject.
4. Why did you decide to join <Undergrøund>?
I joined undergrøund because alot of the twinks that are in that guild were the guilds that I was befriending as a solo pugger, not to mention a few of the twinks are actual people I consider friends from when I twinked long ago. We got back into contact and its nice playing along side of them
5. What is your opinion on <Raw Talent> in general?
My opinion on the guild is not at all bad as the guild as a whole is a great part of twinking, Its that one guild that twinks can look into knowing that the twinks in it have been twinking for a long time, they know there classes and know there limits. Now if they used there abilities to help the bracket I could see the 19 community growing and becoming so much more skilled that the possibilities are endless. Not just Raw Talent though if all guilds would drop the epeen and start helping, but still have the sense of competition. The bracket as a whole will grow for the better.
6. Is Curley good?
Dont see how this is a important question, its more of a joke than anything, Yes curley is good, he ranks up there as one of the best rogues and monks in the game, Its his attitude and the picture he painted of himself to others that has caused so much trolling and drama. On a serious note I remember when curley was a gnome rogue. Back then I considered curley a better "player" than he is today as back then he was actually open to learning and not so close minded that nowadays has caused him to be considered a joke in the bracket. I dont say this as a shot to him but a honest opinion of the player as a whole.
7. You are a very skilled twinker. How did you get so good?
first and foremost I know this isnt a serious question. But if I was to answer this its because I have made mistakes, I always make mistakes and I am constantly learning from those mistakes. Due to that I am slowly becoming a better player, I am no where near good enough to say I have nothing to learn and to be honest I dont want to stop learning because when I stop learning whats the point of playing? Maybe its because I consider a challenge to be fun but I dont think I could ever say that Im the best, or very skilled. Im consistent & objective player, that really is all.
8. What names do you like seeing on your team? What names do you hate to see on the other team?
This question in general is very hard for me to answer, I dont mind who I have on my team or who is on the other team as long as it is a good objective game. With that said people that excel at playing the game well on alliance side is members of undergrøund (maybe I'm biased). Out of undergrøund particular I enjoy playing with Williams, Laurasia, Myrm, Axione, and Cogbrew. People not in the guild I find enjoying on my team is Rodent, Saxxon, Save (rogue and pally), Flashhealz, and Gearz. I know there are others but nothing at this time that pops in my head. As for Horde side it goes the same way I dont care who I face as long as the games are fun. I would say I dislike seeing the normal power comps such as Raw Talent fields but at the same time it just means more of a challenge. Particular players I would say are consistently making it challenging is Pizza, Dorigon, Boscoe, DA, Sqooshi, Bakked, Purloiner and pretty much any rogue on horde side that knows windwalker monks are easy kills for them.
9. What is the state of twinkinfo right now, specific to the 15-19 bracket sub-forum?
Guessing this is based off the comment you had on the wow forums that ever since I got MVP its gone down hill. TI 19 forums are filled with trolls and you really cannot have a serious discussion without someone taking it off topic, If anything the forum 15-19 really isnt a good place for new twinks to come at this point and time. but there are a few twinks that actually make it worth posting and try to stay on topic.
Thank you for a great interview Khaos!
I encourage others to step up and interview their fellow twink friends!
