Default Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.

Recently, I had a chance to sit down with the courageous and daring Algae Nymph, Captain of the Blessed Ones team. Algae, was kind enough to take some time from his busy schedule to answer a few questions for us.

SS: Captain Nymph (if you don't mind me calling you that), your team The Blessed Ones have been categorized as something of a dark horse, an odd-man-out sort of team in this game and the oddsmakers had squarely placed them in last place prior to the game. Due you feel this is an accurate/fair depiction of your team?

AN: Yes and no. Yes, we're last place now. However, I expected us to do better considering my simplistic strategy of stealthed bless rushers. A competent AI was a surprise, as was the cramped geography. That my units didn't follow the battle script half of the time didn't help. Tir'Na'Nog seems well enough, most likely due to Immaculate (the previous player) actually purchasing non-commander units.

SS: Also, you have been lauded for your bravery in donning the mantle of leadership when others would not, do you think this courage extends to your team as a whole?

AN: I don't believe you intended that to be a loaded question. You do know how it'll look if I say 'no'? Nonetheless, I wouldn't call my teammates cowardly either.

SS: Have you found the position of team Captain difficult or challenging in any way? And if so how?

AN: Being captain means more communication, which is a bit of a bother. I'm just glad I didn't get involved in that rollback drama, thankfully a non-issue for my team.

SS: On a scale of 1-10, (10 being most likely) how likely do you rate your team's chances at winning?

AN: It'll be a learning experience if we win, so I'll say 2.

SS: Thanks for your time, you are a wonderful asset to the community and I am sure everyone appreciates your efforts.

AN: Or if not that then at least my temperament.
