Here is an idea.
Why don't you give us your Background.
i.e. what you have done in this game as well as any others. Your real life educations and experiences. Successes in business, military, governement, personal...
Well, since I won’t be the leader of this, there isn’t much point however I will entertain it in order to satisfy your curiosity. Here are some bullet points
Personal
- 29 years old, not married
- Self Educated
- Moved from Wisconsin to Minnesota when I was 20 to live on my own
- Took my existing sales background and obtained a sales position here
- Entered into sales management
- Entered into b2b sales
- I attempted to enter the US Army however was denied any kind of combat roll because of a lower back injury. They wanted to put me in military intelligence at a desk, I wanted to be on the front line in Iraq, they wouldn’t allow it so I backed out.
- Went back to sales management
- Lost motivation to climb the corporate ladder and declined several high paying jobs with extremely large companies.
- Found an easy job 30-40 hours per week with pretty sweet pay working on a government contract with student loans in the debt recovery field (now thats a hard sale) set some records, made some good money, etc
- Currently I’m trying to be self employed, however I have been spending too much time playing EU, as a result I will probably have to go back to work for this winter while in the off season.
In EU
- Started playing in Oct 2005
- Joined the Natural Born Killers which was a soc of misfit noobs
- Became the leader of the Natural Born Killers and laid down a plan for some massive changes. Everyone told me that I was an idiot and it wouldn’t work, most of the soc got pissed and quit.
- Set the goal to get the Natural Born Killers on the top-50 list by the end of 06 by creating a set of subsidiary socs under it
- Created the NBK Legion
- Identified a scammer in the soc, drove her ass out of the game. Since then I have driven many out of EU.
- Continued forming NBK socs and the leadership team
- After Neomaven left the NBK to go on to a top soc, we got more serious about the top50 and got it up there by the end of 2006
- Fought a continuous power struggle between other people who wanted to assume control of the NBK, constant drama.
- Purchased the second shop sold in game ever (Treasure Island) and had the 1st shop open in game and had the 1st actual shop sale in the history of EU which was 100 ME as a test sale 2 minutes after I opened the shop
- In 2007 I left the game for awhile
- While I was gone on of the Generals went rogue and tried to take over the whole group, I was called back to the game and we waged an epic war against her and her followers. I got the civil war settled and got the NBK back on track again inside of a week or two, then exited the game again.
- Came back to the game later in 07, identified another war brewing between leadership, I gave everyone a full body block, assumed control of the group again, formed the NBK Council, and implemented democratic elections.
- My PC didn’t like the EU graphic update and stopped running EU, I then left the game again because I didn’t want to buy a new PC and was pissed off that we got no advance notice
- Was out of EU for all of 2008, came back in January 09. The NBK was less than 1/2 the size it was when I left and well over 50% of the whole group was inactive.
- Created the NBK Entrepreneurs
-The leadership that had formed while I was away entered into a massive power struggle with me even though I did not want control of the whole group.
- Leadership in place folded up and stepped down, then I revised the entire leadership structure of the NBK, nearly every General from the top down was replaced one way or another.
- Created a position equal to mine which is now held by Imoyaro, General of the Natural Born Killers. He handles daily operations and security, I handle growth and development.
- Launched the NBK Elite Miners, NBK Miners, and NBK Army.
- Restored the NBK to the size, activity, and excitement level that it once was.
Today the NBK Group of societies is the largest organization in the Entropia Universe and contains a lot of the best personalities in the Entropia Universe. We now have an extremely active, dedicated, and enthusiastic leadership team and member base. I couldn’t ask for anything better. Soon we will reenter the top-50 list. If we wanted to today, right now, we could create a solid higher ranking top-20 society. After CE2 launches we will begin another big push forward with the NBK Group.
