This interview is with a member I've met via Day of Infamy (DOI) and discord voice chat. He has positively impacted me the first day I met him. Very intelligent and open person. A wonderful online friend. Many people here can most likely say the same about him. If you haven't yet met this well-spoken and friendly man, here is a glimpse. Presenting... GoongalaJones (Mr.Jones, Goongala, Goon) https://fearless-assassins.com/profile/23524-googalajones/ And thank you again, for taking the time to answer a few questions with such honesty and detail. 1. Where were you born and raised? My birthplace lies in the ancient city of Alexandria, just off the coast of the Mediterranean, North of Egypt. As for the latter part of the question, most of my early upbringing was spent in the beautiful city I call home, and later, in other places. 2. What languages do you speak? Do you have a favorite? A bit of backstory about that! Ever since my younger years, sounds has always fascinated me. Hearing the different calls of birds, the sounds of animals, and even to try and imitate these voices, thus evolving into mimicking different accents and dialects on the fly. Onto the answer! Fluently, eight. They are as follows: Arabic (my mother tongue), German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Mandarin. As an Egyptian, we’re not really taught the language of our ancestors (the ones you see in hieroglyphs), but the most recent script, Demotic, is one that numerous wonderful friends of mine have helped me learn and understand through Coptic, an Orthodox Christian script derived from Demotic, whom I have the utmost respect and gratitude for. Other languages that I’ve come to learn and be able to use in conversations are Greek, Swedish, Dutch, Japanese (on its way to become on the fluency list, wish me luck!), Pashto, Swahili, Zulu, Xhosa, Hebrew and Farsi. 3. What do you like to do in your spare time (besides gaming)? Reading and writing! Started reading when I was three and a half years old, and have been continuing to do so since! Writing soon followed when I learnt to love languages. I would (and still do) read just about everything I can get my hands at any time. When I started writing, I used to love recording the narration I would recite of my writings onto old cassette tapes my dad kept on hand at home. Usually, I also like making up characters in writing and giving them a voice. Martial arts have been a staple since I was at the wee age of twelve. My routine is usually to go to a dojo (where available), do a full body workout, practice on sandbags and dummies, then spar with anyone willing! Whenever there isn’t a dojo around, I love going for runs, especially after dawn, and ending just after sunrise. 4. What are you most proud of? Being blessed with strong willpower. There are times where I doubted it when it would have counted, but looking back, it’s been what has driven this humble human to become who he is today. 5. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? The future is most uncertain, but I have faith it shall be in a most wonderful place. 6. What are your lifelong dreams? To become a knowledgeable, multi-disciplinary, disciplined human being. 7. What do you hope to achieve everyday? Making someone’s day and brain happier and smarter! 8. What is your greatest fear? No longer being able to help myself or anyone around me, especially loved ones. 9. What’s your favorite album or song? Personally, I have no favourites. Instrumentals have always been my preference, just because I feel it’s a crime to tie down the beauty of music with lyrics when you can interpret it the way you would want. That is not to say that there are a lot of great hits out there! Music, in and of itself, is also a language. It’s also a huge enhancer to when you want to start learning a language! This would be one of my all-time favourites (That’s the oud. Used to play that for about 3 years until studies got a lot more hectic) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyNXeCfPB2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGVyFbZfqdM 10. What's the last book you read? I am a HUGE film noir/detective and crime fan! Blood Test by Jonathan Kellerman. 11. What's the best movie you've seen? Series? When it comes to series, Band of Brothers, for sure! As for movies, Casablanca! 12. What’s your secret talent? Wouldn’t be a secret if it’s out there, eh? :’) 13. What’s your favorite dessert? Kunafa Nabulsia, a semolina cake stuffed with a mozzarella-like cheese in Nablus, Palestine! https://www.google.com/search?q=kunafa+nabulsia&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=L1wy6xaALyQlEM%253A%252CJsId5xSK5E_K4M%252C_&usg=AFrqEzdDQ9_IHp6OJFeHvxFhVmr7Qv0ow&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjuneO9t_ncAhUYbn0KHc3sAi0Q9QEwAHoECAUQBA#imgdii=ytyLLpB2zkYewM:&imgrc=SPSb4_UD7rbJoM: Long link, but worth it! 14. Favorite Beverage? Lemonade (Or anything citrus, really) 15. What’s something that will always be in fashion, no matter how much time passes? Bow ties! 16. What’s the most interesting conspiracy? The Internet being the centre of our lives. 17. Do you know a good joke? What’s the best thing about Switzerland? I don’t know, but the flag is a big plus! 18. Choose: Be deaf or be blind? Blind. 19. If you were an animal, which one would you want to be and why? Polar bears! They’re cute, but dangerous when threatened. If they weren’t fictional, I’d pick a dragon. Majestic and wise. 20. If you could choose one superhero power, what would it be? The ability to heal serious and fatal illnesses. 21. Have you ever been in love? Indubitably! 22. Have you traveled? If so, what’s your favorite destination? Travel is food for the soul! Thus far, it has been the Himalayas within Nepal! Spent a wonderful two weeks in a cabin up there with relatives! 23. Can you tell us a little about your experience with the military? Whilst it is compulsory for Egyptian males to be enlisted upon turning eighteen, I’m the only male child of my parents, and I have a sister. Therefore, I’m partially exempt from service, but I’m still tied to the military. However, I was a INTERPOL field officer for the good part of two years, mainly in crime scene investigations. Started out as an intern during my second year of college, and after much studying and training, I was given a service badge and pistol. I am no longer a part of the organisation presently, but I do help out as a consultant from time to time. 24. Why join FA? The wonderful people! Ever since I joined the DOI server, the deep sense of camaraderie and community was at every corner, whether in any form of chat, or the countless fun to be had! 25. What is your most memorable moment in FA? Crawling through Crete Stronghold in DOI, as well as Cards Against Humanity! 26. Which server is the most fun? The one and only DOI #1 Recruiting Server 27. Have you met in person, FA/non FA players? The only =F|A= member I have met would be my bestest best friend of almost ten years now, Chaos the Golden Dragon, but I have it as my mission to meet as many of the exuberant people of the clan as possible! 28. Any strange stories since your joining in April 2018? Meeting Major Stalvern and finding out he’s the long, lost, British brother I never had would be one of them! 29. What piece of advice could you give to noob members? Be who you are, be kind, you’re part of a family. 30. Any role models in the clan or people you look up to? Sis, RedAngel, Neuro, Verillaxus and d..x, for sure! /end 👌❤️

The moment im the most proudest of in my life? Is my duaghter Esmee. She's almost 15 months old. Share what your moment(s) are! 🤩

This may not be a motivational quote, but how bout a motivational speech from the Dinklage

This is Sonic the Wonder kitty 🐱

@MDaddylonglegs One of my forms will also have some tips and tactics for this and may help. The form that has it isn't up yet, but eventually it will get up there 👍 https://fearless-assassins.com/topic/99997-cit0s-9-forms-of-et-combat/

Before I begin to post the Forms, I would like to say something. I decided to build this for many reasons, but none more than these. I wanted to honor all the greats and the friends that I have had the privilege of playing with for many years and hopefully for many years to come. I am not saying these guys are the best of the best, but instead, I am saying that they are of the higher echelon and anyone who has played this game for a long time knows them, and has most likely watched them over the years as I have and learned a tremendous amount from them. Any of the mentioned players in these forms I suggest watching to help pick up the forms and see how some of these tactics are done and can be modified. I was always taught in my old clan that spectating is truly needed and essential to improve and advance to greater levels of playing this game and of course others, along with study and planning, always have a plan. I also wanted to make something for anyone who just starting in ET to use and have to help acclimate and adapt to ET which can be very very hard. Much of what I bring is from the old days and from that clan, but also as said before from the greats and what we learned from them then and what I have learned from them now. Paying homage to those who have been in the same virtual world as I for all this time of great fun, challenge, adversity, talkin shat banter, incredible happenings. I mean some of you are closer to my life than anyone in it in ways. I can't thank you all enough for that. And now for the homage C!t0 Bows

Thank you Vixy for taking the time to answer these questions! My goal for this interview is to have members and non members get to know her because she is not only an awesome FA member who's been around for some time now, but also a spectacular human. To kick off my hopefully series of interviews... based in Portland, OR, USA... Presenting: https://fearless-assassins.com/profile/13388-leftwingvixen/ 1. What do you like to do in your spare time besides gaming? * I like to read crime-related novels and watch Crime Drama movies, I'm heavily influenced by 1970 culture and love the thrill of chasing criminal psychology on a medical level. I also like to sketch using graphite or use some of my oil paints, I also write journal entries that I hope to collaborate and publish one day! 2. What are you most proud of? * My ability for my heart to keep beating, it has gone through hardships but has overall became resilient over time. As long as I'm not six feet underground, I'm grateful and proud of everything and everyone that has made my life what it is. 3. What are your lifelong dreams? * [rubs paws together] OKAY. Currently, I graduate Mortuary School next Summer, in which I will have an Associates of Mortuary Science. From then on, I’d like to continue working for my funeral home as I chase a Bachelors and/or Masters in Pathology [the study of disease]. I’d like to research into eventually becoming a Medical Examiner [physician], however my Plan B if I can’t get to Medical School would be to go into Death Scene Investigation or Forensics. I also hope to own a dog and a Cadillac Hearse one day. All the while becoming more proficient in my pole-dancing skills, I enjoy entering in competitions and hope to actually WIN one one day and become a centerfold for a local, Portland trade magazine -- just for my own ego, if anything. 4. What do you hope to achieve everyday? * To learn something new everyday, whether from life or school, and become one step closer to my goal(s) stated above. 5. What’s your greatest fear? * To die not on my own terms, suddenly/abruptly. I have many things to experience and people to love! 6. What’s your favorite album or song? * One of my favorite albums is AM by Arctic Monkeys, 2016-ish. I get to see them in October! I also enjoy the album How to Become A Human Being by Glass Animals. I have too many individual songs I adore -- I dance to damn near them all. 7. Early bird or night owl? * Night owl, definitely. I have diagnosed insomnia, so I like using the night time to limit my distractions I have during the day to focus on my art. 8. What's the last book you read? * Coroner At Large by Thomas Noguchi. The second book of his Coroner series, Thomas Noguchi is a Japanese-American physician who was the Chief Medical Examiner in Los Angeles from 1967 - 1982, making him responsible for taking care of high-profile autopsies such as Janis Joplin, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, and Sharon Tate. I like to learn to what he has to say, in hopes of adopting some of his tips to when I eventually get into the field too. 9. What's the best movie you've seen? Series? * The Usual Suspects [1995], surprise surprise, a crime drama. I don’t believe ‘series’ can be quality when there’s multiple additions. It’s cute when some people name themselves Keiser Soze on the server, based from the movie. I also enjoy Seven [1995] and American Beauty [1999]; basically anything with Kevin Spacey makes me want to lick the screen. Other favorite flicks are Lucky Number Slevin [2006] and Harold and Maude [1971]. 10. What’s your favorite dessert? * MOTHER-FUKKEN CHEESECAKE. New York Style. 11. If you were an animal, which one would you want to be and why? * I feel if people don’t know my answer to this, they don’t know me very well at all. [Fox.] 12. If you could choose one superhero power, what would it be? * To be able to telepathically lift objects. It would be a lifesaver when lifting the deceased in the prep room to clean under them as well as casually floating objects my way that I’m too lazy to reach for, like the television remote. 13. Have you ever been in love? * “I still love everyone I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.” -- Uma Thurman 14. Have you traveled? If so, where’s your favorite destination? * Yes! I’ve been to America [since I live here], Canada, Ireland, Scotland, France, England x2, and The Netherlands. Strangely I haven’t gotten a chance to go to Mexico. One of my favorite destinations would be Amsterdam, everyone seemed like they were on vacation and I loved smoking a joint publicly in a bar whilst working on my Mortuary Law homework, half a world away. 15. What made you join FA? * The community! I fell in love with the unified sense of pride that the members of F|A exuded, and I felt I would have been a good addition to heighten morale on the server and become a dependable admin. 16. What is your most memorable moment in FA? * Tipsy !disoriented me and told me he wouldn’t fix it unless I got at least two kills with the panzer. The first respawn I did, I got a double kill. HA! 17. What server is the most fun? * Jay1 all the way. Where the jokes are made up and the frags don’t matter. 18. Have you met other players from America? * Yes! I have met and hung out with EvilButters [and met his very nice family], had dinner with Sleepy in Salem, OR about 4 years ago, had dinner with Leon_S_Kennedy in Los Angeles last year, and Humpty lives near me so we’ve hung out and went to the movies and he supported me from my show. TheAbbot and Elk live near my hometown in Southern California yet I haven’t gotten to meet them yet. I’m probably missing a few, but I always enjoy meeting fellow players. 19. Any strange stories since your joining in December 2013? * If there wasn’t any strange stories I would lose interest fast, but none I can actively recall. 20. What piece of advice could you give to noob members? * Rome wasn’t built in a day, be patient and use good communication skills when addressing a potential problem or suggestion. 21. Any role models in the clan or people you look up to? * I’ve always looked up to RedBaird for his Service in the country and the experiences he’s faced. I also love RedAngel, Audrey, Neuro, Hecken, Phobia, DD, and AcidParadox. All of these members have made me feel welcome and included, while I enjoy all of their company. Oh and I GUESS Tipsy. ❤️

Trying to get better with these weapons.

Sometimes you need a little push in life that can motivate you to do things you might think are hard to reach or impossible to achieve. I was going through files from one of my hard drives and I just stumbled upon the quote I attached below. It made me think about many things that I put in the back burner some years ago that I'm sure would have been done by now. So I decided to create this thread to see what's your favorite motivational quote. Who knows, maybe some of you will be reading those quotes and get that little push that you needed to start working on whatever goal(s) you have in life. (PS: Let's try to keep this serious, please).

Hey guys. maybe some of you know that i'm back since like 2 month, and its sooooooo goood to play again haha my questtion is, under my name on the forum it is written Inactive Member, So i want to know if someone can change this thing.

Both done.

@MDaddylonglegs Gonna add to what yours was saying which was excellent by the way! 👍

Do what i do bounce it off the walls lol, like Van said try to anticipate their moves, if u use mortar often you can use the rnade form spawn but its luck etc end of the day and works mmm somtimes just by using the angle u would do with mortar, bounce it off the floor if the enemy is too close ...aim it into a crowd maybe

@Tomun vs @TulsaGeoff: Sunday at 8 PM EST @Sonofdoc vs @Mordecai: Sunday at 7 PM EST

Form Two Form Name: Perching Yellow Crane Drinks to much Sake! Form Class: Covert Ops Form Overall Difficulty: 17.1 Form Stats: Form Explanation: Of all the forms this one is most likely going to be the hardest of them to master. Extreme patience and Awareness are needed to reach the true potential of this form. Once achieved however, it can be used in various ways to befuddle and surprise your enemy, while still being able to work from all angles and ranges. So the approach to take here is to select yourself a sniper rifle, and use a multitude of different strategies and tactical tools to turn yourself into a Stealth Ninja killing machine. Several Tactics need to be used to appropriately to demonstrate the full potential of this form. Use a heavy amount of Stealth, mixed with Location and Concealment, keep your Sound to a minimum, basically Ninja and Trickjump maneuver to your preset Location Points on that Map you are currently using for that period of the flow of battle. Quickly move and rotate between your Location Points which should have good Concealment, possible Perching, and area's for you to use Dance Sniping, Hallway Sniping, and Lane Fire. If you are defending, then it's a good idea to set up your Location Points behind the front lines and known Objective areas. Always have more than one Location Point. You want to maneuver between these points once you have been discovered (unless using the direct engagement style of Hallway Sniping or Uni Satchel Bomber) to keep the enemy guessing and hopefully off your tail. (Stay long enough in one spot and you are gonna have a group coming for ya eventually) Hold your ground in spots as best you can, but when there are to many guns, move to another Location Point. Being the attacker is similar but of course much more aggressive in nature. You still want to use Location Point, but these points will shift a lot more often usually than defense at times to attempt different ways of completing the Objective. (This all should be dictated by the flow of battle) On defense, if you are doing well you wont have to shift much, keep your eye on the Map to see how the flow of battle is going, and shift back accordingly. Trying to be a hero and standing firm facing the wave is admirable, but at times backing up and getting properly set to be ready for the first incomers can be more effective for the team. Lane Fire is very important, and should be kept in your mental toolbox at all times which will help you choose which Location Points to use and go to. Hallway Sniping is another great tool you want to have handy as you maneuver around. Your Settings are going to need a lot of adjustments at first to get situated, and I highly suggest using the Zoom all the way in setting, and 4 levels of Zoom for this form. Perching is also one of the main Tactics to the form and should be placed into your Location Points as often as possible. Aiming with this form can be really tricky, and should be well practiced especially if your not used to the suggested higher sensitivity levels. The need for the higher sensitivity levels is due to the Tactics in this form and the Aiming style used with those Tactics. In a nut shell, you are a Perching Sniper that when found doesn't stay still, with the ability to fight from long, mid, or short ranges, while being able to swig your Sake! and go into Drunken Fatty mode when engaged. There are many other Ninja tools in your bag to choose from with this abundantly demanding Tactic heavy form. Demo Examples: coming soon!! Form Stat Explanations: Awareness: This form takes ridiculous Awareness and place of mind to keep everything running the way it should. Constantly checking your Map, always on the move, and the need to keep all the forms Tactics in your repertoire along with your Location Points in your head. Vision: Superb Vision will be needed to see the field properly to find the proper Location Points for the flow of battle, along with the incredibly difficult targeting for Aim and the Tactics. And a high call for the X Factor also lies heavily here. Aim: The Aim for this form is very precise, and takes a quick wrist and eye to preform. A very high visual acuity is suggested to be able to preform this forms special Tactics. A ton of skill and experience will be needed to Aim from multiple ranges, styles, scoped, and un scoped is gonna just take tremendous practice. Timing is absolutely crucial to get the aiming down, and your settings adjustments fine tuned, and get a good handle on Dance Sniping for it's probably going to the most commonly used Tactic. Movement: One of the main reasons for this forms overall difficulty is because of all the different needs for efficiency here in Movement. Whether it's Dance Sniping, Drunken Fatty, or moving to your different Location Points, you are constantly on the move and using your sprint is key and you must try and not use so much that you completely run out, something you should be doing all the time anyway. Caution: Using Caution will really help you get to your Location Points with little resistance, and helps a lot with Tactics like Drunk Fatty and Perching. You may find yourself crossing the back lines often and in doing so, if you see your teams mortar man you should drop smoke for them for cover as you go by, and gives you retreat zone to go to. Endless Smoke should be also used to help team advancements, and give you Ninja cover. Tenacity: Set pretty low for good reason, but a few quirks bring it to the semi low range. Tactics like Drunk Fatty and Double Tap put it up a ways. Group: not a lot of Group is needed here, this really is more of a solo support form that could use a medic every once in awhile. Tactics: One of the highest forms in overall number of Tactics, and is also one of the highest in need of using them and calculation based application. With some many Tactics to choose from, you might find yourself overwhelmed at first, but don't despair, start with attempting one Tactic at a time, and them eventually blend and implement them all into your bag. Tracking: Tracking for this form has more to do with avoiding the enemy then Tracking them down. The times you would be Tracking someone down is when you notice evidence behind your teams front line, and now it's your time to go hunt down spawn trolls and get back line attackers. Attempt a surprise attack with a Double Tap, then switch to Drunk Fatty. Timing: To find the right Timing while sniping and Shooting from the Hip is tough, and will take a lot of practice and messing with your config until it feels right. When using the Drunken Fatty tactic, I find that a small short pause in between Shooting from the Hip helps a lot for Timing and accuracy. Also with such a high sensitivity and need for Timing with sniping you may find it to inefficient at first, but once your used to Tactics like Dance Sniping, Counter Recoil Sniping, Double Tap, and Hallway Sniping, you may find it's well worth it. Stealth: Of all the forms this one by far needs the highest Stealth used in conjunction with all the tasks, tactics, and moving around the Map you will be doing. You really need to be a true Ninja running around out there to do everything needed in this form, including blowing up enemy CP's (you should be doing this as much as possible), cleaning up spawn trolls, satcheling bridges and objectives that call for it, covering your mortar man, you get the idea. Get every single uniform you come across they really really help when it's time to go get that CP and when you want to get around less scathed. Be constantly aware of your out put of Sound so your not coming up on Map and Radar, and use Concealment to get the job done. Sound: Being aware of your Sound output and your enemies output can be tough and hard to do on the frequent. Whenever I play this form I break out the headphones. It's gonna help you hear all the really minute sounds your gonna need to be picking up. This includes yours and your enemies footsteps, gunfire, grenade bounces, knife throws, stabs, and ricochets, wrench work, support fire cans, smoke and poison cans, satchel bag falls, mine drops, dyno explosions and drops, flag grabs, debris falling, and even med and ammo pack grabs (probably missing a bunch lol). With headphones on, a player can become so in tune that they can literally tell where these sounds are coming from without being able to see them, even more so that you can even tell exactly what direction XYZ you just got shot from. This should allow you to make the split second decisions you need to decide whether to turn and engage or Ninja Bail your butt out of there. Also once your set up in one of your Location Points, Perching lets say, Behind Enemy Lines, you really should rely on Sound to give you a lot of information cause your going to hear your enemy a lot of times before you see them. Ninja: Having the highest rating for good reason, in this form you truly are a Ninja out there. The hardest part is trying to keep your sprint bar from running out all the time. All the Tactics that this form has is like your bag of ninja tools and tricks. Do your best to be seen and heard as little as possible, and Ninja Bail when it's time to. Concealment: Concealment is your best friend and most of your attacks should come from the shadows. Another note to be aware of is to not always engage the enemy right away, especially if there is a group going by. Wait for that last straggler instead to move past, it also helps to be using Map and Radar along with audio confirmation, then hop out quickly and strike. If you get the kill quick enough go for a second before bailing on the situation. Never continue to use the same Concealment and Location Points over and over again, switch it up and move to new and different areas to keep the enemy guessing. Location: Using Location Points and knowing the Map and level and it's environment is key to this form and can make a difference in any ones play. Watching the map can help a lot with finding which Location Points to use, and with determining the current flow of battle. Always keep a good eye on your Perching Location Points for good times and opportunities to use them. You can rack up a lot of kills quickly this way with some well used timing. If you don't know a map very well yet, just don't know where to set up your Location Points yet, take some time in spec to look around the Map for awhile and spec some players. Get a feel for where you might think good set up spots, Concealment points, Perches, and the like are and even think about what times would be good to use them. Objective: You pretty much only have three Objective based goals here. Destroy their CP (you should do this as much as possible), Satchel bridges, ladders, and other explodable objects, and always always shoot their enemy snipers first when in open field engagements. Endless Smoke should also be used to help push your team forward when needed and should also be considered Objective based. Settings: It took me a good long while to get my config right with a lot of trial and error and tweaks until it finally felt legit. I would put up my config but what works for me won't necessarily work for others. Most of the stuff I change is pitch/yaw, cross hair pulsing, r_customwidth/height, r_gamma, and cg_fov. in the end always go with what works for you. For certain Tactics like Druken Fatty, using the single dot cross hair at huge size, or + type cross hair at large size to start, but in the end I suggest going with a customized size with one of these two types in between huge and large sizes. Radar: With all the hunting you are gonna end up doing, you are eventually gonna get hunted yourself. Either way you are going to want to glance at your Radar a lot more than normal with this form. Every split second can count and give you your Ninja edge. Also paying attention to your Radar more often will help you get used to keeping your Sound violations down. Map: Thorough contemplation of the battle using the Map can really help strategize which Location Points to use and where help is needed for your team along with all kinds of information you can use like seeing if there CP is up, who has the flag, Objectives, ect. Always have a plan, and a plan b, and an escape route in mind and the Map will help with this . One of the most difficult Tactics is Map Sniping and takes some practice but is another nice tool. Every once in awhile, when you get the chance for safety, take a break, look at your Map, and reset yourself. Make new plans and set new Locations points if you want to or feel it's needed. Reflexes: With your sensitivity set so high, and the aiming for this form being of one of the hardest of all the forms, you will need Reflexes of the highest grade to pull off a lot of these Tactics and maneuvers, like Double Tap, Counter Recoil Sniping, Ninja Bail, Hallway Sniping, Ninja Vanish, and Dance Sniping. All the Ninjaing around and Trickjumping also call for it. Think fast, act decisively, and always have a plan. If the fight is just not in your favor or more guns show up making the scenario unfavorable, Ninja Bail. Reflex to the battle itself. Trickjump: A very strong use and skill of Trickjump is needed for this form to move throughout the level less detected then normal and so you can quickly move in between your Location Points and quick hunting. Trickjump Ninja your butt to the CP and pull off flying satchels, that sort of thing, is what you want to use Trickjump in this form for. Use it in Conjunction with Uni Satchel Bomber to pull off some interesting kills especially with good use of Map and Radar. Trickjump is a key method to the art of the Ninja. X Factor: A suggested really high visual acuity will be needed to preform the Tactics and sniping methodologies, along with very high sensitivity and Reflexes, is one of the main reasons for a very high X Factor. Another would be the adaptation in a very strong sense, for the necessity to keep so many Tactics and Location Points in mind, and the constant use of the Map, the incredible Aiming and Vision requirements, your Timing and Movement skills like Trickjump, and the pure need for true Fearless Assassin level Ninja skills make this dang near a 20... but only one form will receive that. Form Specific Tactics: When sniping the open field it's good to use cover and Concealment, but when that's not available, or you are planning to move to a new position Dance Sniping should be what you use to combat the enemy. First never stay still, stay scoped using crouch and slide left to right and use this movement to assist Aim as well. This will help avoid easy shots especially from enemy sniper fire. When it's time to get moving for what ever reason, quickly go unscoped and use sprint and/or Trickjump to move to Concealment and Location Points to preform other Tactics. When preforming Dance Sniping, not a lot of mouse movement is used for the more intricate part of aiming, rather use your high sensitivity to quickly lock close to target and use your crouched movement for the intricacy. Always remember when using this Tactic that not much mouse movement is used, only to lock, and when you are actively using Dance Sniping crouched, (cause at times u may release crouch to get the shot) and you should in short intervals release crouch, sprint a dwarf's distance, re-crouch and continue Dance Sniping as part of this Tactics basis to avoid enemy fire and easy aim on you for the enemy and their snipers. Demo coming soon...  Lane Fire 3 out of 5 cross hairs: (graphic coming soon) Some levels have more open lanes then others, and that have higher traffic zones. Find yourself a spot of Concealment, and if you can a perch at the end of the lane on either side, (preferably one that has your back more covered) Get set near a window or boxes, whatever it is you are using without exposing yourself to that lane. Use your lean buttons (normally the q and e buttons) to view the lane and prep for a target by adjusting before you release your lean button(this will take practice) this should be done by placing your cross hair where you "think" it needs to be. Now release lean and do a quick premeditated movement that adjusts to where you have calculated your target and cross hairs to be located. In best case scenarios you will be already on target leaving very little response time and be instantly ready to fire, or you made need a slightly small cross hair adjustment made still leaving very little response time. Return to your lane cover when times are efficient to do so, and can be swiftly done since its' very close, and some of your body should be concealed. This works best when the opportunity is there to defend objectives with this. Demo coming soon...  Find yourself three or so points to use that will will work for the current battle taking place, and cycle between them to help in not being discovered and to keep enemy snipers guessing. I usually like to have one of those points to be a Perching point if you can get it. These points should be set places that will allow you to preform your different Tactics around the level. Use hallways for Hallways Sniping and Double Tap, use Dance Sniping and the like in their proper places. Remember you should have 3 or so in mind but have a mass amount to use around the level. Demo coming soon... Not a simple task to preform and requires very good Reflexes, a quick wrist, and a very high sensitivity to pull off. The trick is to be already pulling down your aim in Timing and conjunction with when you fire and you should be using the furthest all the way out zoom setting so that you have the easiest time countering. (You will use closer zoom's for tactics like Dance Sniping, Hallways Sniping, Double Tap, and Map Snipe) This drastically reduces recoil and makes it much easier to make the next shot. It takes some practice but a very nice tool in the bag. Demo coming soon... A difficult but savage maneuver, I normally use this in combination with Hallway Sniping, and anytime I have an opportunity to do up close sniping, for example when I just Ninja Bailed on someone and decided to do a quick turn around at a proper corner or Concealment point. I suggest having the different zoom types zoom all the way in and all the way out on binds as well for an easy efficient switch between Tactics. Place your cursor (and I am not kidding) near the groin area for your first shot, add a little Counter Recoil Snipping to your second shot and when done right, presto your on the head for the second shot. Of course this takes some practice but when done correctly it will even take out a full life Medic. [*Special note: Aim at below the knee to near the foot area and it's possible to pull off a Triple Tap!!!] Demo coming soon... _ Similar to Lane Fire in principle, but on a smaller scale. Find yourself a hallway and get set up on an end where it's opposite to where you figure you will have incoming. Use your lean (usually q and e buttons) as to not expose yourself and wait for incoming. Use your Radar in conjunction with visual from your lean and when the time is right pop out crouch and preform the Double Tap. In longer hallways and corridors that have obstructions you should use also as staging points instead of always using the end of the hallway or corridor. Demo coming soon... What you want to do here is to find yourself an elevated position that has solid Concealment that overlooks an open active area or lane to use on the current battlefield. Always have the High Ground Having the high ground as a sniper is always nice and usually gives you the first shot especially when using good Concealment and lean. Gotta make it count though, because being in a elevated position makes it easier for many eyes to spot you, and before you know it you are gonna want to bail. The further and higher away you are the better. Demo coming soon... Find yourself a nice Perch, that has a view of a known forced exit or entryway that the enemy will be using. Get you sights set on a known spot that is a must cross point in the exit/entryway that the enemy is going to have to travel. Now your set, so press your map button normally (G) and wait for an enemy to come up on the Map in that spot you are targeting fire. This can be done from incredibly long distances. Demo coming soon... When engaged in combat and usually only used at mid range fights or further (but can be used in close quarters if available and in a pinch) A Ninja must keep in mind instant escape routes and avenues that can be taken during fights. As you are running and gunnin doing your Dance Sniping or Druken Fatty, make sure your ATD (attention to detail) is up there so you are seeing entrances to a building, or any kind of alley that will give you instantaneous cover that you can cut to as you move in your dueling and take you away from the fight. When using this Tactic often it's good to double back to prevent cutoff's and cause confusion. Demo coming soon... Used mostly when attacking, this Tactic is used as a befuddlement, an escape, and in conjunction with Ninja Bail. When it's time to make an escape, and you know you are being chased, once you turn a corner toss a smoke can in the opposite direction you are going to head in. Sometimes go the way you throw the smoke, and some times don't. And a third portion is to toss the can at the wall in the middle making it either way at you could have gone. I know this may seem simple but believe it or not it works way more often then expected. Demo coming soon... This Tactic could be compared to martial art Druken Boxing but with guns. Non scoped, use obscure movements and add the 5 D's along with quick sprint bursts and sudden stops to your maneuvers, to get maverick angles to Shoot from the Hip with your sniper rifle firing in one to two shot intervals then move again in on the enemy or duel maneuver. Do normally one to two never more than three of these movements before switching to pistols and unloading for the kill. This Tactic can also be used with throwing knifes and/or a Sten as well. once you get the kill bail and get you sprint bar reset. Demo coming soon... Apply this Tactic when you team is trying to advance on or out of a spawn area when being locked down or out and should be aimed at exit and entry ways and used for Objectives that need to be taken or defended. Throw the smoke can at the exit point that your team is trying to enforce and advance with giving your team cover actually get out and engage the enemy. Progressively move the smoke forward can after can to assist in objectively moving the team forward. Cantinue to throw smoke until your team has pushed through and established a solid foothold. This also should be used when trying to move the Tank forward for the poor engies (can't push that enough) and at objective points like the bank in Gold rush just outside the room with the gold in it endlessly is a good example. Smoke cans are one of the greatest tools a covert has and should be used a lot more often then I normally see used. Demo coming soon... Similar to endless smoke in execution being that you want to blanket an area with poison smoke in the same spot endlessly. I normally use this in defense of an Objective area. Not only does it cause Vision problems [*less then smoke cans, not by much] but will do some decent damage over time as your cans begin to stack. This becomes extraordinarily catastrophic when used with more then one participant and gets worse and worse with enough soldiers and coverts to the point where if the enemy even takes one step in, when done correctly (make sure its the same spot) instantaneous death. Demo coming soon... (More Tactics still under construction)

Form One Form Name: DJ Rotates Exploding Elk Form Class: Soldier Form Overall Difficulty: 10.8 Form Stats: Form Explanation: This is by far one of my favorite forms to play! There are really two small forms here combined to make one one full form. The first being DJ Rotates where the idea is to find yourself a well known high traffic area, maybe an objective zone or another highly crossed area and get yourself zeroed in where you want your mortars to fall using your Map or just visual confirmation if possible. Once you have your wanted area zeroed, memorize the exact targeting information used (x, and y) and the exact spot you used to fire for future use. Then set up a second spot and again memorize new information targeting a different zone. Now you are set for Rotational Mortar, send off a volley of 2 to 3 mortar rounds quickly and kick up the stand as fast as you can and be gun ready, then rotate to your secondary spot and clear out any enemies you can in the interim and get set again. Rotate between the two spots and this method can also be used, up close on the enemy with some good Concealment and Map, to quickly devastate incoming waves. A nice addition to have for this and a reason for Group being so high is to have a Covert Ops around poppin smoke for you in spots like this. So the basic idea is rotate from firing off mortar volley's as fast as achievable , to kicking up the stand and being ready to fight as quickly as you can, giving as little time as possible of actually having the mortar down for firing. The other side to this for is called Exploding Elk and can be used in conjunction with DJ Rotates. The scheme here is to find yourself a stairwell, a confined room, or maybe a high traffic spawn exit area, and set up shop to fling indoor mortar's at folks! A lot of the time you may explode yourself in the process, and this should be planned, just like escaping from a fight knowing your being chased but buying enough time to set up that mortar around the corner or hitting someone mid flight in a stairwell with a mortar killing you both. Some useful tips would be to aim for a far wall near an enemy entry way but place yourself far enough back as to not explode yourself and still be able to hit the wall properly. Some rooms are just gonna be to small for the shot not to explode you, but that's okay! Sometimes you might get 2 or 3 in that one shot 👍 Demo Examples: coming soon!! Form Stat Explanations: Awareness: Rated high because the player should be on the constant lookout for incoming enemies within their mortar blast range/area, not only visually aware, but Map, Radar, and extremely Location Heavy. Vision: With a strong level of Vision and Reflexes, you should be able to have a fast enough Timing to launch indoor mortar rounds quicker than the enemy can visually see or locate you to get the kill. Aim: Well there isn't a whole lot of need for solid Aim with this form, the times it will call for it is when you are in between rotations, or setting up for other tactics, and the need for quick Reflexes in aiming for those fast adjustments needed for Indoor Mortaring. Movement: This has a low rating due to the fact that you really don't move around all that move except to your Locations, and when using DJ Rotates, heck you should even be getting pushed around Caution: The rating near the mid range here is because of the approach needed to get to your spots and Locations. Tenacity: To get to you Locations will also take some Tenacity to reach at times, and the Form itself has a Tenacious nature to it especially the Exploding Elk side Group: For this form to really work at peak efficiency, you need yourself a buddie Field Ops who doesn't need to be around all the time, but close enough and responsive to you when you call for ammo. The Covert Ops can snake a lot of kills by hiding out covering you, and really helping by poppin smoke for ya. In combination with DJ Rotates you can really wreak havoc down on your enemies, and can be used with Draw the Front Line. Add the Field Ops in there calling arty and the Covie throwing smoke in yours and the the Field Ops targets areas making an Arty Mortar Firestorm! Tactics: This form needs pretty strong use of it's Tactics and is rated as such, I almost rated it higher but compared to some of the other forms I decided it was good where it was. Whether you are need Group, Location, the forms Tactics themselves, and Map and Radar, there is a lot to keep in mind. Tracking: Not a real heavy amount of Tracking is needed except for maybe using your Map and Radar to track movement. You really shouldn't be chasing anyone down with this form Timing: Timing with mortars is really key here. Being off by a half a second means you missed the wave of enemies that are going by on your Map and your chance. Great Timing is also heavy needed for Indoor Mortaring. Stealth: A good amount of Stealth should be used either way you approach the double form here. It will help get you to the Locations you need and keep you from being noticed before setting up for Indoor Mortaring. Sound: Keeping a low Sound profile will be really helpful to get to your Locations and get set up quickly with prior Map use being that it's set at 12 for your Sound output. The second at 16 is there Sound output, which you will really need to be paying attention to when Indoor Mortaring and the like. Ninja: This will help keep you K/D ratio high and give you once again that extra edge in getting to you Locations without being seen or heard and hopefully picked up on Radar and Map. Remember sometimes it's best not to fire right away Concealment: The need for Concealment is pretty paramount, find yourself boxes and different things to hide behind and obstruct the enemies vision of you. Location: Definitely the most key stat to be aware of in this form. Finding yourself proper Locations to accomplish this form is what the entire formula is based on. When none are available you just revert back to DJ Rotates or find somewhere to Mortar Cannon. Or do the reversal of playing as DJ Rotates and hop in on opportunities for Exploding Elk. Objective: A strong sense of Objective should be used in the idea that the objective areas should have a lot of traffic for your mortar to rain on. If the game does become Objective heavy, then your team is gonna need the mortar support. If you are defending the objective then I suggest Indoor Mortaring, and Mortar Cannon if it's available. Settings: Not a whole lot of changes need to done here once you have your config set the way you like it for this form. Radar: I suggest a constant glance at the Radar while playing the form, with or without the mortar down, and even more so when you using Exploding Elk form. This will help get that extra half second you need to have the Timing on Indoor Mortaring. Map: Constant use of the Map should be going on as you use you different mortar Tactics and find your target mortar landing spots on the Map. If you are doing extreme close up mortaring like around 85 degrees and the Head's Up! tactic then you should be using Radar for this. Otherwise your Map is your best friend while mortaring, but with DJ Rotates style, once you have locked in your targeting spot Location, and your degree's memorized, you won't have to use Map as much to almost at all, just to get you set up again on a new target zone. Reflexes: Main reason for the higher rating here is based more on the idea of the Exploding Elk forms need for very fast reaction time to pull off Indoor Mortaring properly. TrickJump: Use your Trickjump and Ninja skills to get to you Locations fast and relatively unnoticed and to get out of bad situations and get to a safer deployment area. X Factor: Set pretty low because once you get this form down there isn't really that much to it in comparison to some of the other forms. But there is still a need to have a decent visual acuity and reaction time to pull of Tactics like Indoor Mortaring and Heads Up!. Form Specific Tactics: A most brutal and savage Tactic, place yourself near an entryway, a stairwell, or other type places and fling inside mortars of devastation! Placement and Location is key, try and find just the right distance from a ceiling, wall, or other surface so that it hit's your enemy and not you, and find special areas to deploy mortars through windows or gaps in the ceiling to the next floor. Consider using form 2 tactic Location Point to assist in remembering all the spots you want to use for the level. ( @RedBaird 🧔 ARRRRRRRR!! forgot to add the window stuff thanks!!) Demo coming soon... Find yourself a decent mortar deployment area and get yourself zeroed in where you want to target, memorize the coordinates (x and y) and the exact spot you deployed from. Fire off a volley and quickly kick up the stand, and move to your second deployment spot, memorize and quickly deploy your volley. Again kick up your stand as soon as your volley is over and be ready for incoming enemies (switch to gun, knife, ect.) as fast as humanly possible to give as little time as you can in having the mortar actually down firing, which is what makes makes you most vulnerable. Rotate between your spots and do a little gunning as you wait for you special bar to fill up again. Demo coming soon... This is normally used in conjunction with a Covert Ops to defend a specific strategic line, on a high traffic area that should be a must travel zone for the enemy. Have the covert ops drop smoke for you near this area so you can set up close and begin doing Heads Up! mortaring at around the 85 to 90 degree marks. The Covert Ops should also pop smoke for you on your target area making it harder for the enemy to see the incoming mortars. This in combination with a Field Ops calling arty on the same spot will cause a massive blockage to the enemy and create a smokey mortar arty firestorm of destruction! Demo coming soon... Find yourself a lamp, a rock, maybe an angled support beam, a ground surface that has a harsh enough downward angle, anything that has a sloped surface that has a planar angle that is sloping downward and you can jump onto with your mortar. If you get a good enough stance on the object you are using you should be able to now set up your mortar. You should now be able to fire at the lower ranges of the Collimator sight. Now you can use degrees low enough to fire you mortar like a cannon!! AAAARRRR! @RedBaird 🧔 (you should totally try this! ) 😜 Demo coming soon... All you need here is a buddie who will push you to the right area you want to go after getting your mortar already set for Cannon Mortaring. Good communication will be needed with your friend with a microphone on discord, or with PM, Team,or Fireteam chat if you feel like it. Use this to cut off exit and entryways, along with blasting down hallways and corridors! ...gotta do it one more time 🧔 AARRRRRRR!!! Demo coming soon... Do yourself some Stealth spying with Concealment and get set up in a spot where you can deploy mortars at angles of 80 to 88 degrees to clear out up close areas near where you just Ninja scouted. Use your Map and Radar to gather information, along with visually, and send out a volley. Once discovered (it's inevitable) and you see some incoming rushers on Radar/Map/Visually, use Timing and send one mortar off at 90 degrees and kick that stand up as fast as you can and get out of there! If done quickly and timed enough, you won't blow yourself up, and take out a rusher or maybe 3 Demo coming soon... (more tactics for this form coming soon)

If you set your rate (manually in the console or in your cfg file) above 25000, the internet connection settings will be set to "Unselected". You can try and change it to 25000 and it will be set as LAN/CABLE/xDSL. If you set it at 5000, then it will be set as ISDN.

HI FCC, Did you have this problem before or it started with a new configuration? Can you post your cfg so we can give it a look and see if there is something wrong in it. thx
