This month we have OcR Rabbit..er..Team Edward, a fellow Retribution team member of mine. He's been in the running for a couple of months now and has finally achieved status of Member of the Month!!
OcR ROCKETR: Where are you from? How old are you? What do you do for a living?
OcR Rabbit: I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and i'm 23 years old. I install siding on the outside of houses, this could include horizontal/vertical wood planks, vinyl siding, or fibre-cement composite boards/planks.
OcR ROCKETR: When did you first join OcR? How did you find OcR and what made you want to join?
OcR Rabbit: I believe that was around february 2009, at that point I had become pretty tired of waiting for a spot on TTL and branched out a little bit, and then I remembered that that F.L.A.G. 2009 tournament was won by a GGN clan, Outcast Reborn. So I snooped around and found that not many people knew anything about you guys, even within the GGN, and that intrigued me enough to register and play a little with you guys. Then I found out that you were making a competitive BTB team and that pretty much sealed the deal.
One fairly funny thing that I remember the most in my early days with OcR is reading about your competitive BTB team, I remember reading about how the tryouts would not be for specific roles, but if you did your thing well "we would notice". Well, this kind of pissed me off.. here I am thinking to myself, "what if i don't get noticed? shouldn't I be able to tell them what I do best!? argh!" and posting something to similar effect.
Then Envy replied with something like, "you're already on the team what are you worried about".
Oh, I am? well that works too.
OcR ROCKETR: What's your favorite game-type to play with the clan?
OcR Rabbit: There's a few so I'm going to cheat and break this answer up:
On the ground, for fun: Pit Multi-Flag
In the gunner, for fun: Standoff Slayer
On the ground, for competition: Avalanche Slayer
In the gunner, for competition: Valhalla Neutral Bomb
OcR ROCKETR: Do you have any life goals, or career goals that you would like to share? What drives you to complete these goals?
OcR Rabbit: Not particularly, just drifting along until I find something that actually matters to me.
OcR ROCKETR: What would you tell recruits or new members about OcR?
OcR Rabbit: Take that shit seriously, play games with alot of our players, make sure you belong in OcR before committing yourself. We are not just a clan or a team, we are a family, so that means we look for a different quality from a recruit. that may also mean that we won't win everything, and we won't always be the most competitive, but at the end of the day, even if we lose, my teammates are still my friends and you don't get voted off the island for going -20.
OcR ROCKETR: Is there anything about yourself that you would change?
OcR Rabbit: I'm an asshole, though it's pretty entertaining, so I'm not sure if I would change it.
OcR ROCKETR: What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done in real life?
OcR Rabbit: I used to wear those giant raver flare-cut jean things at the end of the 90s, I even had a backup pair of the same jeans, just incase.. sometimes I consider moving away from the friends who knew me back that just so I never have to hear about it again.
I wore them in my "competitive DDR" days, which leads me into another embarrassing moment.
New years 2001, I was way way underage but really wanted to go to our DDR team leader's new years party so I just crashed it because I knew where he lived. Then within an hour of entering, proceeded to get into a drinking competition with a 20 year old and win (with 16 shots of vodka, maybe that's where all the brain damage came from!). Apparently somewhere between when I started vomiting and when I passed out on the lawn, someone had called my parents and I got the best drive home ever. To this day I avoid mentioning vomiting to my parents just incase I have to deal with that shit ever again, not that the topic really comes up all that often anyway.
OcR ROCKETR: Do you have any shout-outs you want to give?
OcR Rabbit: Envy - You put up with my shit time and time again, I don't know why.
Doom - Take the dildo wielding stormtrooper out of your avatar plz, it is disturbing.
Jimi, Walk, J2, Dragon - You guys are awesome dudes, always willing to backpack anyone without complaint, even me sometimes. It's a rare quality.
Louie - I'll always hate you for interrupting my budding career as the #1 driver in the world. Also you made my gunner quit halo, thanks jerk!
Pink Team - You guys should play a better game than grifball.. like ball and cup, it has been Mexico's favorite toy for 340 years.
Yellow Team - You guys should play a better game than MW2. I don't have a witty replacement game though, any game will do.
I probably missed some people, but no hard feelings.
