Sovereign (IRC Nick)//Ultimate Newbie (Forum Name) started playing Planetarion in early 2000 - partway through Round 3. Under the tutlage of Tactitus and riposte, I quickly took an interest in designing fleets that were the most efficient and effective and from there soon took to designing my own Ship Stats for repeated rejection by Spinner et al :).

About Me

My name is Kirby Rourke. I live in Perth, Western Australia, and i am a 19 year old, 6"9' (209cm) cheeky bastard. I am studying at Curtin University of Technology, a Bachelor of Commerce (Global Economics) - which is quite different to many of the other people who play this game who seem to pursue IT related fields :). Despite PA, i am doing fairly well (Distinction average), and i intend to do Honours as well. After this, i intend to go on a working tour of England - as any money that i save is *2.5 when converted back to Aussie :P - ideally whilst i am there i'll be able to sneak up behind all of my pommy mates and scare the crap out of them! (fjear :P). Once complete, i will be dead set on my predetermined path for global domination - indeed, i already have studied well the Handbook for the aspiring young dictator. ;).

Alliance History

  • R3: Solo(Newbie) /G-II
  • R4: Crimson Guard (CG:24) - i started my own Parallel alliance in R4 that effectively was below the top tier para alliance but above all of all the others in Para24. We, unsurprisingly, took one hell of a beating but it was a wonderful experience (my first as a DC/HC :D) with a bunch of good mates (such as Expluser) - if you were a member of this alliance, feel free to give me a yell! :) ; also the first time i had ever built over 1 000 000 Spiders (quite handy for defence :)) and i (believe) i finished in the top 1000 which considering the frequency of being attacked was quite impressive i thought!
  • R5: CG:24 occupied two private galaxies, but became entangled in the serious block wars of that round and ended up being food for both sides. This strained us quite considerably such that we disbanded and many people quit playing altogether (which is very unfortunate). Those of you who know me may now understand why i keep insisting that only 1 allaincemember should be in a Buddypack at any one time :) (When BPs consisted of 3 people and 2 BP per gal). I have vague recollections of being in IPC, however i dont really remember anyone people there.
  • R6: irr; went Cathaar in the first time that Races were introduced. It was excellent fun, and for a somewhat solo player i did very well right up untill the end of the round when 15k Hydra (anti FR Cruiser) visited my planet and killed most of my Black Widows. Oh how i mourned! :) . This round made me fall in love with Cathaar and even now they hold a soft warm fuzzy place in my heart :). I was in hirr for a very short while (where i learnt my lemming suicide skills), though by the end of the round i had left again (heh).
  • R7: I was largely inactive for this round, and went Zik in a free planet (as my marks at school were dropping and i needed to focus on that work :( ). I had a terrible experience with Zik that round (going from the best initiative to the worst in such a short period of time conflicted with my playing style) and have never since gone Zik. I still hate them ;).
  • R8: Vision; between R7 and R8, i joined Vision with Legator, Myztica, Orlandian, Benneh (<3), and a host of other people who would soon become really good mates with. Vision was a wonderful and fun place to be, and my experience (and 'Night' IRC activity as an aussie :P ) quickly became promoted to a DC position where i excelled. Whilst my planet never ranked all that high (its a DC's duty to suicide self into undefenceable situations to save a mate :) - plus plenty of 3 fleet defending), i still had a really enjoyable time. I still think of myself as a Visionary, and i consider myself very fortunate to have spent so much time with such a caring, funny, lighthearted and quirky group of people. I would like to thank all of you .
