An introduction.

I've been a 'silent' member of the community for a long time. I'm tired of the lousy competition and same old crap lists people think are 'uber', and I'm here to set the record straight.

Used to run the 40k maintainers bit. 2nd and 3rd edition. Got tired of doing that thankless job. Oh and Ghaz made me want to kill myself/him on a daily basis.

I'm a system admin, married, no kids (yet), just had my 34th birthday, and...and...I'm the most blunt sob you'll ever meet.

It takes alot to convince me I'm wrong, as it's usual habit for me not to comment unless I've got experience and facts to back up what I'm about to say.

Had alot of 'speaking before thinking' when I was a teenager. Might seem like I'm no different, but I am.

I speak the way I do because I am sure of what I'm saying, not just saying whatever comes out.

I don't have much use for alot of the jackassery directed my way, but that's the internet. Alot of brave folks out here in anonymous land.

Let's see what else is there...oh, right. What I think of the few, the proud, the wrong:

People that argue with me!

Welcome to Dakka Stelek. I think you'll find this forum is filled with knowledgeable people capable of giving constructive critiques to each others ideas. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Well im sure he will enjoy his stay seeing as he posts more than anyone on here. And yes sometimes being blunt means being a jerk but Stelek is right when it comes to the actual game he doesnt talk out of his a**.
As for anything else though....

Glad you're here Stelek. you have one of the best grasps of tactics on dakka.

I must give Kudos to the military. They gave me alot of training. And to the guys at my local shop, they kicked my ass for half a decade before I clued up.

Ah the good old days of my empire. Ever had 80 guys locked in combat with a greater demon for 4 turns? Yeah, uber list that was not. lol

Which Branch? MOS?

Navy. I was a marksman first, then I got promoted and did some intel work. I finally got what I wanted, EW and shipboard networking. Then I got out. lol

Cool. What made you pick the Navy? Was it heritage or a separate desire altogether?
