DryMan

[DryMan]

Hi...

My name is DryMan, and I used to be a gaming addict.
It all started as a kid with the release of BF2 and CoD2.
Not long after starting my online campaign, I was invited to join the clan called Borg, whos main purpose was to help facilitate my addiction.
What followed was 2 of the darkest years of my life, with endless nights, no sleep, falling grades, and above all no social life. I had become a true addict. I could not go a day without playing.
But then, when I thought there was no hope left, I was saved by my father who took a job in Singapore.

There I started a new life, made friends, became cool, saw the world, and got an Asian girlfriend.
But, of course all dreams come to an end. So after 3 years I found myself at the end of high school, having to choose the next step in my life.
So I decided to move back here, and continue studying.
But with that came all the memories and urges to start playing again. There was a problem though, the community had grown ten-fold. I was lost on the ocean, without a paddle. My previous clan was all but disbanded. So for the last 2 years I've been drifting from one game to the other, unable to find what I had lost.

There is hope on the horizon though... BattleField 3.
But I also see a relapse coming.

So I come to you Clan GRRR, to ask your help in controlling my addiction.

Hi Dryman

what where/was your nicks in Bf2?
How old are you?
I know this might sound a little elitist, but we are a VERY tight group of guys and girls and we dont let just anyone in. we may even expect you to wait until bf3 is out and you have played and squadded with us for a week or so before we make a dicision.

[DryMan]

Oh no, that's quite understandable. That's one of my main reasons why I'm coming to you. I was quite intimidated reading through TygerBS and Duiwels' thread, but I really respect the process. And that's what I'm really looking for, an online family. Gaming just becomes so much better when you know the people you are playing with.

I'm 20 atm.
My nick has always been DryMan, but I was more of a CoD2 player.

I do know NoMad personally, we used to live a couple of bocks from each other. I kinda used to stalk him as a kid. I used to think he was the coolest. Not so much any more, but I still respect him :P

I just thought I'd put my post up a bit early so you guys could start getting to know me. :)

[NoMaD]

nice andrew! :) I am even cooler now, with a touch of loco and a pinch of crazy!

good on you for starting the process, as fly said we are a tight nit group, so it will be a much longer process compared to other clans. stick in there, show dedication on the field of battle and you will find we are a bunch of awesome people who really like gaming and talking shit!

[Megageth]

Welcome Dude. Will be looking out for you in BF3 fo sho, squad up with us whenever possible and dish out a few tea-bags when you find yourself on the other side. As has been said, your membership may take a few weeks as you are new to most of the clan but stick around and have some fun in the meantime.

[SlipperyDuck]

Yeah, weird as it sounds - our application is a grueling two week process normally.

It certainly helps to have people you know on the inside, GRRR squad, being akin to the likes of the KGB you will need to answer some serious psychological tests via online questions. These questions may seem random, but are in truth designed to understand many things including what colour underwear you wore the night of your first live nipple sighting.

Hang in there, don't be disheartened if you can make it through the Guantlet, you may stand a chance.

now, heres the first questioned designed to understand the relationship between you and your grade 8 maths teaher in order to better clarify your strategic movement through a chokepoint that is easily covered by snipers:

1. I wish to live in a perfect word where a chicken can cross a road without it's motives being called into quesiton
> Strongly Agree
> Agree, KFC Rounder
> 17
> The matchbox is behind the cupboard
> Strongly Disagree

2. Boobs.
> Sorry, whats the question?
> I need a paper towel
> Big small, I like em all
> Moobs

3. A train is travelling at 35Km/h east and crosses a road after 60Kms, another train is travelling at 60Km/h and crosses the same road after 12Kms. How much cheese is too much on a cheese snackwich?
(your answer must be between 12 and 30 words)

[DryMan]

I was sexually abused by my grade 8 maths teacher, but I will try my best to answer.

1. I would have to strongly disagree.
In the perfect world we would all be on equal footing of one another, animals alike. So the only way to differentiate us would be to question motives.

2. Sorry, what?
I can't hear you, I've got bananas in my ears.

3. Given that their combined speed is 95km/h, and total distance being 72km. Then dividing the differential by my concern for gaining weight (1.65) I end up with, 4 slices of cheese.

[s3xy_j0nny]

So tell us more about this Asian girlfriend then...

[Thor_23]

So tell us more about this Asian girlfriend then...


Somehow I knew that would tweak your interest. :D

Howzit dude,

My questions:

1. allgold tomato sauce has X amount of tomatoes in a bottle. how many oranges comes in a standard bag?
2. voda/mtn?
3. how well should explosives be guarded in SA?


More to come at a later stage.....

[Paul]

Hey dude

As a couple of guys have already said, it would be best for you to hang out on the forums and get squadding with BF3. Yeah these questions will also let us know more about you but the key is hanging around so each person can make up their mind.

So relax, be yourself and lets see how things go.

Oh and personally know NoMaD is a -1

[NoMaD]

:( paul, but you personally know me?

[s3xy_j0nny]

@Small Paul: Ja, but he was in the clan before he knew you personally...

[Skouperd]

Dryman, some serious questions:

2. NVidia or AMD
3. What is the optimal angle at which to launch a golf ball for maximum distance if you have a swing speed of 140km/h. Show the maths.
5. How do you mount a stock Intel CPU fan.
7. More frames per second, or better eye candy?
11. If 13 is unlucky, why doesn't more bakers die from a bakers dozen?
13. What are you studying, and how will your studies interfere with your addiction?

[DryMan]

Damnit Paul! Can't believe you've cost me a point already. I had a feeling it was a bad idea mentioning you. :argh:


So tell us more about this Asian girlfriend then...

hmm, maybe I'll share some details about them later...

1. If there are X tomatoes in a bottle, I'm guessing there is Y oranges in a bag. More seriously though, what is your definition of standard bag? Cause I may have different standards to you. :D ;)
2. MTN, but it really doesn't matter to me.
3. We have explosives? :hmmm:

11. If 13 is unlucky, why doesn't more bakers die from a bakers dozen?
13. What are you studying, and how will your studies interfere with your addiction?

1. I used to be a very loyal NVidia fan, but eventually their prices become too much for me. And I'm Currently very happy with my AMD HD6870.
4. 0°.... when hitting off a 1km high cliff. Regardless of swing speed, the ball will still travel 1km vertically. Max distance achieved.
6. Align plastic clips with holes. God I hate those plastic clips. Always feels like you're going to break your MB. But its been awhile since I've used a stock cooler.
8. FPS for sure. Hate it when game stutters.
10. Bakers can't die. They're immortal.
12. I'm doing a degree in Marketing. HAHAHA, interference? 'bitch please...'

WRONG!!!! -1, Correct answer is: "You don't!"

[s3xy_j0nny]

Another -1 because it was question number 5, and the answer was given as number 6... And -1 for Denis for failure to use a question mark.

Welcome to the board!

1. If you where on a flight with Nomad over the Andies and the plane crashed, eventually your main food supply runs out, how would you justify to Nomad that he should give his life for your survival?

2. What was Dwight D. Eisenhower warning to the American people as he left office?

3. Ghandi spent time in South Africa - True or False

[DryMan]

What!? I'm loosing points! no! :(

1.Hmm... Honestly, I have no idea. I mean, I know at times NoMaD can seem like a real smuck, but that's not a good enough justification. Unless, maybe, me being a ginger will make him feel sorry for me? But I don't think that will really work. - please don't take away points because of the colour of my hair. :(

2. He essentially said that "With great power comes great responsibility", Referring to the US's military industry.

3. True.

[s3xy_j0nny]

:hmmm: We already have one ginger ninja and he's a fkin lunatic...

[DryMan]

I'm different. I promise!

:biggrin:

[flycatchr]

ginger = +20

[Megageth]

A ginger kid got knocked down by a lorry outside my house today. Just think - that could've been me.

But I can't drive a lorry.

[Phatso]

Eventually got time to post some questions.. I recall DryMan from the BF2 days, he's oldskool.

1. Complete the sentence: "Once you go Greek..."
2. AH1Z or Mi28?
3. AK or M16?
4. Who (in your opinion) was the number one ground pounder in BF2?
5. What's your tablet and smart-phone of choice?

[SloDaz]

Good seeing you on the server last night...

...and word of advice - stand up to Drag's as early as possible - otherwise its a lifetime of licking his boots and feeding his ego - so INSIST that he calls you DRYMAN - in game and off. Look what happened to Paul... now he is just....well Paul

Andrew/Dryman, nice to have met you online over the last couple of evenings. If you can just stop pwning me you may have a future in this clan :p

1. ... you can't walk for a week?
2. Mi28
3. M16
4. I can't really recall many of the BF2 oaks, like I said, I was more of a CoD2 player. But i do remember thinking that porkchop was a bit of a god.
5. If I were to buy a tablet now, I would go for an iPad, but only because Android still hasn't got a proper flagship tablet yet. And definitely an Android phone!

Damn, I don't know if that's going to be possible, but I'll try. :p
As for my name, you can call me Dry if Dryman is too much for you. Most people call me Dry.
Otherwise we gonna have a problem. :smiley13:

[Onyx]

Hey Dry :) I will refrain from formulating you some questions for now until I have played with you a little bit.
A good read so far...

[flycatchr]

like a cat plays with a mouse - I hope :)

[SlipperyDuck]

If you suspected someone in your squad was a Spaniard, who would you tell?

1. SGS Admins
2. Gaddafi
3. The Queen
4. Steve Jobless

[DryMan]

Um... An SGS Admin of course.

Cause they've always had sound judgement.
