-------------------------

Where did your gaming carreer started?

Well first off, i dont really want to call it a carreer :D, I started playing games when i was really young. The PC as it is now wasnt invented and i played on an oversized calculator called an MSX. Games didn't look that good in the day but I had my fun on it. Then after some time my dad bought a 386 which was pretty much taken by my brother the entire day for gaming and coding stuff but i got to play on it aswell so played most of the classics from back than. My brother really was into computing and bought himself a new pc which was a 486. Offcourse it was his pc and i got kicked off from it time after time. Then he bought another again so I decided I wanted one aswell so I could also participate in the local lan-parties. DAMN that was good fun. I was mostly into adventures back then or quests how we would call em. Munkey Island was offcourse my favorite, I can also remember Alone in the Dark which was good fun aswell. Well I sucked at shooters so couldnt be bothered with those. Well new times came and I didnt really play much anymore my pc got slower and slower and I couldnt be bothered to go on my dad's the entire time so the gaming lay low. A lot of friends still played the games though so I got intrested again and was orienting on what to buy, I didnt have any money though so that was a big problem for me. Now as our most famous footballer always says: " Every disadvantage has it advantage", this also happened to me. I lost my last 2 grandparants within the week which was really hard but the herritage payed for my new PC... Started playing more games again, you know all those illegal cd's and stuff, guilty ;) also started playing AA. Computer got to slow, bought a new one and thats where I am now.

So where did you first see AA?
Well, this was at a friends place and he said, dude check this out your goanna enjoy this one and yea I did :D My new pc didnt have his new vid card though so I had to wait for a bit. First map I ever played though was Weapons Cache, nailed some friendlies for which im still sorry... sure :D But I also managed to kill an enemy. My friend was so excited and thought i was really good. (we all know better now)

Anyways got the game on my own pc, started gaming, played a lot of Mountain Pass SE with a sniper camping under a tree. That map was really croweded back then, it was 1.9 and i think the map was totally new then. Thereafter I got stuck on bridge met some guys who named themselves the Kingz and i was invited in but I was hassitating. I actually wanted to join Knights because they were supposed to be really good but didnt see them too much. Now in the same time I met the guys of ]BBE[ and I played tons with them. Especially with Kerp he thought me how to snipe and we had great times late at night. No TS back then so it was just typing all the way. Now BBE was full so I was considering joining the Kingz, but then out of the blue i got invited into BBE which I didnt reject offcourse so then my clan carreer started.

The BBE story tell us
Well I dont wanna go into that again too much but just in short. I joined the guys and had a great time. We had great players like Poekie, Bri$ant, abackie, WAB etc etc. Poekie decided however he had enough so left the clan then rejoined left rejoined jada jada jada. Now I was thinking that there wasnt happening enough in the clan, the website needed work and i volenteerd but was rejected. Some words came from this, people started leaving. There was a fight with Gonzo i can remember who thought my mouth was too big :P well anyways Poekie came back kicked some of us out, including me. The guys didnt like that so I started a new forum and we started OBJ.

...The obj story
Well obj started we were well know on bridge (one map wonders) and we had great tactics so we won tons of matches on there. I left for austria for the winter to be a ski instructor and when I came back the guys joined forces with KCT. This worked for a long while until activity started to drop. Some internal stuff went on which was about joining and kicking members. The core didnt like that however so some people left again.

Now what is team objective??
Well activity on AA decreased dramaticly and things weren't looking pretty. We tried several things but nothing really worked. Jordi and I then had the idea to try to make this into a multigamer team, so here we are. Original Bridge Junkies got transformed to team Objective and thats it.

Now what up with doc (since he asked for it)
Well ok since he asked for it, ill give you my side of the story ;)
Like I mentioned before I started gaming with BBE and Kerp in perticular. There was another guy however, with who I played a lot aswell, his name was Fadawah. Fadawah lives somewhere in Fryslan (The Netherlands) and this guy had a neighbour who's name was Doc (Rick irl). When I first joined BBE a new squad was formed, BBE jr. In this clan the young guns could play, which where, Hellbound, Mc2, Killerbee and DocterBibber (Doc). Now doc was a huge Starwars fan and since i could get along with this fella pretty well, he started to call me his master since I taught this guy most of what he knows now. Then BBEjr got dropped and I had to leave my pal to head his own way... not a good idea since ...well you know the starwars stroy. Eventually OBJ was started and Doc was invited back in, played with us like a pro, then left for some nubs called DRO :) but eventually saw the light again and rejoined up. <3
