EphemeralEternity
So why don`t you tell us a little about yourself, where you live, age, and all that jazz?
Karolinerna
ok, well I'm 31 year old and live in sweden and I'm not a girl as so many thought during the years
EphemeralEternity
lol, i knew that but yeah i`ve been asked by many people which gender you were...some times i said robot, but they got the picture
Karolinerna
Lol
EphemeralEternity
How long have you been on playing GC? is your current account your original?
Karolinerna
This is my original gc/rt account but I actually started with old UC 2-3 months earlier where I played with jax and foxkids, then I decided to try out gc and made a ultra account but that account is gone. So I started to play spacefed in feb 2004
EphemeralEternity
i think we`re all glad you made that switch, did Jax and/or Foxkids introduce you to UC/GC?
Karolinerna
no, it was actually 2 rl friends that got me started but they quit long ago
EphemeralEternity
doesn`t it suck when friends get you addicted to stuff, then go off and get sober and leave you hanging?
Karolinerna
yeah it stinks, there been many times when I tried to quit this game but nowdays I just given up and realized it's not gonna happen, spacecrack is a evil thing =)
EphemeralEternity
it is, stephen didn`t fail in that regards. Where did you get your start at in GC, i`m sure you didn`t just start up and become leader of Distemper did you....or did you o.O
Karolinerna
lol no, I started in a fed called TERMITE, it was a all terran fed that fought the famous old Thunderdogs... But in november 2004 I decided to become viral and couldn't stay there so I applied to distemper. At that time TBK was a member there and he gave me a good word so they let me in. That way I could still fight the T dog bullies as distemper was made to kill them =) |

I`m sure it will be around for a long time as well.
Karolinerna
Well if I started a fed now it would not go very well cause I play to little to actually run a fed, personally I think a leader should be there more then the others and sacrifice clusters if it help the members and such but I'm lucky to have a loyal core that wanna stick around eventhough I can't play as much as I once did.
EphemeralEternity
Spoken like a true leader, *thinks about joining Distemper too*
Karolinerna
ur welcome hehe
EphemeralEternity
Thanks
EphemeralEternity
Got to ask this too, or else pandy would probably murder me should she read this, what`s your take on Pineapples?
Karolinerna
I don't think they evil, I think they sweet and juicy =)
EphemeralEternity
I agree with you there too, but if you see or hear from pandy, don`t tell her i said that
Karolinerna
I can keep a promise, don't worry
EphemeralEternity
Thanks
EphemeralEternity
Well I think that about covers it.thanks for your time Karo
Karolinerna
np and have good day =) |
EphemeralEternity
99+ day(s) ago | Karolinerna
yeah there been a few, we have the T dog wars of course, many of the old dogs later joined us actually lol and we had the BC wars, was very funny aswell and I remember the "antidistemper movment" that was hillarious, 16 fedwars vrs us and back then there was still around 250 people online. One of the guys that started it is someone all in this game nowdays know very well but he was a newbie then ...
Karolinerna
and I won't tell u who it was
Karolinerna
we anaboliced 2 feds for him hehe
EphemeralEternity
lol, hmm wonder if i can recall who that person was *thinks a bit*
EphemeralEternity
one thing about the Anti-Distemper movment though, the forums were always alive
Karolinerna
yeah, old forum was so much better, to bad some people had to mess with it so they had to remove it, sad indeed =(
EphemeralEternity
we should hunt down said people and destroy them, all those precious records gone...
EphemeralEternity
what`s been the reason thats kept you in this game so long...i wonder if it`s the same reason that keeps you in Distemper as well
Karolinerna
I'm pretty sure it's distemper, if I been a fedhopper I'm pretty sure I would have quit long ago. eventhough members come and members go I always felt like it is like a family, us against the world u know =) and I wanna keep it alive as it been here so long |
EphemeralEternity
99+ day(s) ago | Karolinerna
I studied law but realized after 2 years that I wouldn't wanna work with it but completed it anyway as it would be a total waste if I quit. Then I become a storemanager for a Lidl store and now I work at a competitor and making all kinds of courses to eventually own my own store in a couple of years. that's my plan to become a millionare =)
EphemeralEternity
i like that plan, mind helping the poor like me when you achieve that goal?
EphemeralEternity
or maybe buy GC from stephen and fix it up?
Karolinerna
I'm a computer dyslectic, if I owned the game it would suck hardcore, I have trouble as it is updating detail page for distemper lol
EphemeralEternity
they still love you any how though, i bought an I <3 Karo hat off spiker the other day...are they really $40?
Karolinerna
yeah it's remarkable what people are willing to pay nowdays for that hat, it's a classic hehe
EphemeralEternity:
Lol
EphemeralEternity
Karolinerna, what`s the story there? is that your real name?
Karolinerna
well I am from sweden and when I started this game I thought of a name and then I realized that we haven't always been neutral like we are now, we actually beat half of northern europes asses back in the 17 th centuary. the kings charles XI and Charles XIIs army was called karolinerna so it is the name of the only succesful army sweden ever had =)
EphemeralEternity
was that the army that stomped the hell out of Peter the Great of russia?
Karolinerna
well they beat russia so I guess so
EphemeralEternity
thats what those commies get, just getting theirs a few centuries early...j/k i love russia to yay Vodka!
Karolinerna
Lol
EphemeralEternity
hmm a man with a history such as yourself must have some old GC battle stories to tell, care to share? |
EphemeralEternity
99+ day(s) ago | EphemeralEternity
Good times back then. i miss them. What`s been your favorite race to play on Gc, i know you`ve been a viral for a long time, but i remember you as a guard back in late 05 early 06? Something like that.
Karolinerna
Yeah I become guard for a couple of months after my uw but went back to viral again as I find them the funniest + I like to hord some planets. To be a race when I can explore for borders is to boring, I wanna have the thrill to actually risk something when I'm out of dp. But I play other servers also and I never been viral there. but viral is my favourite
EphemeralEternity
thats right all those viral haters can shove it, viral pride!
Karolinerna
haha yeah !
EphemeralEternity
hmmm, lets go back to your personal life outside the game for a just a bit, got a wife or kids?
Karolinerna
yes I do, married and have a 8 year old daughter, she is the pride of my life =)
EphemeralEternity
and hopefully she won`t follow in her dads foot steps and into the cruel sad world of GC
Karolinerna
god I hope not lol
EphemeralEternity
well lets think about this for a moment, you and her could rule the server together, like a star wars-esque dynasty
Karolinerna
I hope she find something better to do and wife wouldn't exactly like it either, she think I quit this 2 years ago She thought I was sick sitting in front of this game 10 hours a day. Thankfully my studies ended so nowdays I'm not able to play this as much, have to work and all that =(
EphemeralEternity
that`s always sad...btw, mind giving me your wife's phone number, so i can black mail you with this later if need be >:)> ?
Karolinerna
sure it's 0703-40 ... oh wait, u trying to trick me here
EphemeralEternity
lol, she`d probably kill me first, then you
EphemeralEternity
so i defiantly wouldn`t do that any how
Karolinerna
thanks =)
EphemeralEternity
so what is it exactly that you do that sucks away all your GC time? |
