Choma

At least it seems that way sometimes, judging by behavior anyhow.
And i hail from New Zealand, middle-earth, Maori-canoe, sheep-farmers, haka, etc etc.
Disclaimer: Im white. Euro white thank you very much.

To all Admins (AND Moderators AND Managers), I just wanted to say Thank You for all the hard work you guys do, it makes this place awesome.
You guys have a mostly thankless task, and you all do it tirelessly well, so i applaud you all
Keep up the good work.
PS: im not trying to curry favour, or being sarcastic, i genuinely believe you guys rock, and do a great job! (plus my pills just kicked in, so im in a very good mood!)
TLDR: You Admins are awesome, thank you all!

So, a baby seal walks into a club...
 

My current nick, Choma comes from some scifi books: The Nights Dawn Trilogy by Peter F Hamilton ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night's_Dawn_Trilogy ). The character Choma is a sentient bitek construction that holds an imprint of someone centuries dead (the culture transfers all memories of those who die into a communal AI construct). The bitek Sergeant was created in response to the badddie from the books, and the possessed souls taking over planets.
Ive always pronounced it Coma, which was a good choice, coz i did love to get blackout drunk back then
My previous name on MTA was SangDrax which again comes from a book series: The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hand_of_Chaos ). Sang-Drax was a weird serpent humanoid who worked with elves as a ship captain/bounty hunter.
Ive used both of these names in gaming for about a decade and a half - Choma seems relatively unique, so i usually use that.
(Oh, and if im roleplaying a female RPG character, i usually go with the name Ephilia - red haired dual wielding fighter/thief - its a distortion of Ophelia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophelia )

7/10 - had translation so i could sing along xD
 

This works so well. Better yet, no race player reads this topic so I can use this command to my advantage.

^^ garfunkel and oates still crack me up, so 9/10
 

^^ Ouch, noise musicians are sometimes painful.... still, all music is noise-art of some sort, so 4/10! (and thank you for a new "musician" to look into!)
 

good idea... global timing makes it annoying however.
IDEAS:
1) countdown timer on green forums (maybe in header), adjusted for personal location.
2) 24-48hrs before event, server announce in chatbox every hour or so (timing up for debate) saying "Event starts in XX hours" - could help reminding people!
3) rewards for events (dont know if implemented)
    podium finish = some amount of GC
    finishing a map during event = lesser amount of GC
    joining during event (participation) = way lesser amount of GC
   (Reward doesnt have to be GC - could be a free custom horn? or paintjob? or other temporary perk?)
 
these may help entice/coerce/remind people to be a part of this event
(sorry i missed it!)

^^ 9/10 Drowning Pool is awesome!
