You_Fool aka A big phat n00b.

A lovable and delightful member of the IC community. Foolio (as he is affectionatly known) has made loving friends in all sorts of galaxies, from milky whine to n00bdromeda.

Early Beginings, (beta 4 - rnd 3 crash)

The power of the fool began back in 2001 in beta 4 (ish) after beiong introduced to the game by the cute grom hellscream of the warsong clan. Fool was to be found n00bing it up in tri and mw (yes a horrid multi-n00b!!) Slowly the infection spread into neighbouring galaxies before n00b fams in mw, andro, tri and pw were all infected by the time of the rd3 big crash.

Fun and Games, (Crash - Drafting)

After the reset the fool infection was found only in mw and andro. Some full metal jacket fam by lemmings in mw and a dragon fam with lydia in tri. it was during this time that he started to really make somne headway, actually being in fams that made top 30 in old mw and himself having over 30 planets.

Rds 3-5 went quickly with mergers and what not, and fool played through them all hardly nopticing the difference in play. He continued his n00bish ways, and slowly becoming the unstoppable force he is known as today.

What is this, fool actually doing well? (Rnd 6 - Rd 9)

Rd 6 was a shuffled round and the first of legal drafting, and fool managed to land in the Tortuga Nebula Thugs fam (as a random.) This was his forst time in the big leagues. Unfortunatly, despite a resonable start, the fam was hit hard in the eventual wars that followed. However one thing that did come out of that round was the friendship between you_fool and nostalgia, both randoms into the thugs that round.

(Fool = trainspotting beard cause he was a n00b and nostalgia was vodka drinking pirate.)

Fool/nostaliga were attacker/banker pairing and n00bed it up all round long.

At the end of the round fools old friend warsong, (who had "retired" and moced to SagD,) messaged him.

Warsie - "Hey Foolio, Come be in my fam in Sag D. HhH is leaving and you can have his account." Fool - "well i am multi'ing in mw and andro, whats a little more illegality?"

And so fool joined the [PI] Fam as a top 5 banker in the top fam. He preceeded to build 5mill soliders and 500k figs and raid all the top bankers (the only ones he could actually touch at the time.)

At the end of round 6 Fool had 3 accounts. 1 in mw in thugs, 1 in andro with lydia and her dragons and 1 in SagD in [PI] with warsong. The only one to be found in the hall of fame top 100 is the sagD one.

6.5 prooved to be the end of fool's multi ways as during this time the dragon fam in andro broke up due to the idioticy of one of the empires who couldn't handle that the delightful and lovely Lydia was not interested in him, but was in love with the cute and lovable fool. With the reset the fam broke up and went their merry way. Lydia retired, and fool used the one account in SagD (albeit not his account.)

6.5 in SagD was to proove to be interesting, and created an interesting suituation for the true rd7. The [ANZAC] tri had been drafted and there were 3 fams fulled with great players (including teh fool in warsongs fam.) However the [USSF] tri decided to try an early attack strat against the [anzac] tri, which failed miserably. The [ussf] tri was down multiple planets and whining constantly by the time the crash and reset came.

rd 7 started with the [ANZAC] tri discovering their position in the galaxy and discovering that they were near to each other and had a good posistion to create the copywrighted "triangle of death" core. Once the round started the anzac fighters ensured that whoever flew into the anzac triangle never flew out. Also the [USSF] tri was located and portals made in nearby systems. The anzac tri then farmed them as they expoed, thoguh not too much. The anzacs knew that to farm correctly one had to let the crop grow. And so the round unfurled, each anzac fam farming whole other tris, except for the main opposition, the ass tri. That tri was saved to last in the big full out war of the century.

The ANZAC tri pervailed and ended the round easily on top.

Warsie also retired again (the 2nd time in his IC carrer)

After the round ended anzac broke up, some going to mw, whilst fool, warsie and a few others moved to tri. Here fool formed his own fam, with his beloved lydia installed as his banker and warsong as his second in command. Rd 8 was a prooving ground for fool and his fam. They prooved themselves, blooding themselves against different opponents, some well rooted tri fams. By rd 9 their fam had won respect. Rd8 was a difficult round for fool, his fam had a good alliance and in any other round would of won the round, even if it had been hard fought. However the ((Snoll)) tri stood i ntheir way. The ((Snoll)) tri had been playing together for a very long time and it was rd9 when they finally clicked together as a well oiled machine, and very few could compete. Though it must be said that the only fam that scared the ((snoll)) tri (as admitted by them) was fools fam, and as such they ganged up on his fam 3v1, hitting them whilst they were at war with a differnet fam and so knew they had no savings. (This having been completly agaisnt what the leaders of ((Snoll)) had saidwhen they had cancelled the NAP whilst fools fam was in the middle of their war.)

However Fool and his fam bounced back to end 4th, behind the 3 fams of snoll.

The end of the good days (Rnd 10 - rnd 14)

rd 10 was a nightmare. Fool was mostly inactive for the round due to a university project (a big one) and warsong had decided to be a banker (deciding that the fam needed a big banker as during rd9 they did not really have one.) However it appeared that the other attackers were also inactive or incopetent (Xara and Purple being the former, the rest the latter,) and as such the fam had a poor start. Fool managed to pull off a few war wins, but the fam under performed and ended up top 15 in a hotly contested round.

After that Fool moved back to mw with lydia, although he broke up with his love within a few months of that. He played in two fams in mw rnd 10 & 11, One with Aragnon and one with HC4E, afterwhich he swore never to do again. The former being a big n00b and Josh just being immpossible to play with. It was during rnd 11 with Josh that Lydia left the fool and he was heartbroken.

Rounds 12, 13 & 14 he idled away in HAOD, which became tribes and then Zdeath, before a very public fall out with Flint Fireforge caused him to delete and move to andro. These rounds saw limited success, normally fool did ok, along with the fam, but they would lose 1 or 2 big wars and were consigned to a top 15 finish. The Zdeath, Adeath debarcle was a personal low for teh fool, hating that he left his friends but knowing that a stand had to be made.

The long slow painful death (Rnd 15 - now)

The next round teh fool went to andro, where he also dragged his friends warsong and xara. The 3 of them started a small fam, fighting the n00bs in n00bdromeda, where they slapped teh n00bs and generally showed how to make friends and influence people, never once rising to the top.

After 3 rounds, slifty sent the call out, and fool along with his friends moved back to mw and HAOD. Here they allied the horrid PP and fool got to see closer than he really wanted the size of the ugly ego on that players shoulders. However the round went ok, moolar finishing top, though HAOD were not as great.

Fool then moved to pw to once more berate n00bs, spending many days doing stuff there, occassionally moving back to mw for a round before getting fed up with the players there and moving back to PW.

His last move back to MW was to participate in the no-drafting experiment, then stayed in princesses with 1/1 drafts. With the new merger on its way, maybe the icon of IC known as you_fool will move on, only to be found in the forums and chat.
