Furball

furball started playing Planetarion in Round 3 along with around half of his year. He soon joined a small alliance named naviter and played with them in rounds 3-6, becoming a Senior Member in Round 6. However, even he will admit that at this time he was little more than a 'newbie', attracting considerable ridicule from his classmates for not building over-powered Phoenixes.

When naviter dissolved at the end of Round 6, merging into |LOST|, he followed his HC figbash into the MadCowS community. However, at this time he was more busy with the alliance verTIGO, which he was one of the founders of in Round 6 along with his gal-mates Acetomb and Furry, among others.

Remaining a newbie at this time, furball has no idea how he survived, but points to the fact that he didn't attack for almost all of Round 4 as a possible reason, since he had no roids. Deciding not to play Round 8 due to real-life committments, he returned with MadCowS in Round 9 as part of the VVOMM block, which got bashed by both the WEET and NAR blocks. He has always been very proud that his galaxy that round was one of the few VVOMM galaxies finishing any where near the top 100 (102nd). In the free round, Round 9.5, he was a member of one of the few non-LDK galaxies that finished in the top 50. The galaxy won the havoc period after the round end, and as such has always been a considerable advocate of the worth of the havoc time between rounds.

In disappointment at the new PaX and the collapse of ViruS, furball quit Planetarion mid-way through Round 10 having made a considerable number of friends in the alliances in which he had been. This time off again allowed him to concentrate on exams, which he believes that all Planetarion players should have as their number one priority.

Reaching university just before the start of Round 12, furball returned to Planetarion with a new 24/7 internet connection and the ability to be around at night-time. Starting a couple of weeks into the round, he took to the game very quickly, being appointed a DC in Vengeance two months later. His galaxy again finished just outside the top 100, with furball one of the top planets in that galaxy on score.

In Round 13, furball was promoted first to commander then to full HC, mainly focussing on Vengeance's political situation.

In January 2006, he was appointed moderator of the Alliance Recruitment forum.

At the end of Round 16 furball retired from Planetarion.
