I'll fill this out, not many ppl on here know me too well.

IGN: Forgrin

Rank: 2nd Lieut (PR 21)

Age: 21

Studies: Applied Biology (basically agricultural science) at the University of British Columbia.

Where I'm from: Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Favourite civ: Portugal has been my long-term main but I don't play them much anymore. Nowadays I play mostly India, doing slow agras and FFs.

Play style: I'm fairly macro-heavy and defensive, usually preferring tech or eco plays to win games. Because of this I'm actually really, really bad at rushing. Probably comes from all those Port games...

Other hobbies: Sailing, gardening, kayaking, hiking. Just took up fencing too.

Music taste: classical, jazz, bossa nova, funk, most other stuff. Favourite bands/groups: VSO, Home Free, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Joao Gilberto, Gordon Lightfoot, Maurice Ravel.

Trivia: I studied operatic singing for 2 years at university. I've also been in several barbershop quartets!

Edit: also I somehow achieved Howdah. Not sure exactly how this happened...

## General ##
Age: 19

Gender: MEN

Country, origin: MURICA

Religion, ideology: Christian/ Laissez Faire libertarianism

Studies: computer programming

Job(s): cashier

Hardware details: runs AOE with little to no lag


## Likings ##

Hobbies: explaining that the only difference between Hillary and Stalin is that Stalin was honest ( :) )

Favorite movies: Star Wars

Favorite books: Bible

Favorite mastermind: Milton Friedman

Favorite politician: Thomas Jefferson

Favorite person in history: Stalin (for all the wrong reasons and the best quotes), and Winston Churchill "those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

Favorite music: Two Steps from Hell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-WcNNGJ9cA
Favorite artists: Thomas Bergersen (composer)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY2Kb-85tMQ
Favorite food:
pizza
Favorite software tools:
steam
Favorite games:
AOE (2-3), World of Tanks, World of warships, Team Fortress 2, and Hearts of Iron IV
Favorite addiction:
drinking soda till I have a heart attack
Other interests:
Thinking


## Age Of Empires III ##

Favorite civilization in AoE3:
british so far (VC manor boom is pretty fun)
Favorite strategy in AoE3:
use the manor boom along with a barracks with an outpost with the 200 gold outpost selection for colonial to take map control early to control the hunt for the British. I'm just still terrible at getting good. (looking for possible mentoring)
Favorite unit in AoE3:
not really 1 unit, I prefer musk husk combo to rule colonial to be able to easily switch if I want to go the the fortress age for falconets and I don;t like the fact that if i want to LB pike combo I need to use wood that i would be either doing TP boom, scooner boom, manor boom, or a combination of either booms. A british player also in my noobish opinion can't argue for lowering your resource gathering rate for woood with the availability of the 700-600 wood crates.


## Mods ##

not really sure about mods yet, there are probably some that would be helpful in getting myself started in becoming un-noob. I'll probably see about some of these later after I look at some brit game so that I remember that I suck.

Oh god... what have I become.

To be slightly less stereotypical, I don't actually think Hillary Clinton is the devil and will happily vote for her, and I don't go around the internet posting religion bashing memes or AmazginAtheist videos either.
