I was making sure the line up for the next day's postings were all lined up when I got an unexpected visitor looking for an interview. So please join me in welcoming Windy Mcclendon#888305 of clan Shadowed Suns to our studios. Seeing as it was just before clan wars I figured I would start off there.
Pat - Alright, so how many clan wars do you have under your belt?
Windy - 7 or so the medals tell me.
Pat - How are you finding the specialist positions? A blessing or a curse?
Windy - Kind of both. I have played as a specialist and as a normal beater. I kind of prefer the specialist work but not to fight it.
Pat - Yeah I run 1100 tons myself just about every war, got to say it makes the wars easier. Any specialist position you have or had trouble with?
Windy - Single rainbow. I'm more excited about the new techs and how they will affect the new cw.
Pat - New techs, like what are you eyeing up?
Windy - I have a hard time choosing which mechs I love the most to use in it. I had noticed a few but at my level they are getting kinda lost behind the new stuff i am unlocking.
Pat - Yeah unlocks are great when you finally get to that level you need, only to see the next tier up piece and start drooling all over again. So how do you predict your clan will do in this upcoming war? anyone to look out for as an enemy clan or players in particular?
Windy - Actually we are too small to get in. But I have a feeling after the drama lama hit MMI that they wont be too serious a threat for a minute.
Pat - I saw that over on the game board. A lot of splits going on the AFF fractured, Fusion was formed by a bunch of ex Brotherhood, and now this. Any theory as to why so many top gun clans are breaking apart?
Windy - Christmas? Actually I do. I think that as we level and grow as players we tend to start wanting to branch out and then we end up splitting off. Or I could say it the rude way... ((you can edit off if you want: sticks... forcefully inserted up their butts?)) What do you think?
Pat - Well I saw some of the aftermath firsthand when the Fusion boys made a dash for it in the Brotherhood. Word was they were more about the gimmie, gimmie, prizes for Div 1, and not wanting to form up and back the rest of the clan who was supporting lower levels in the clan family. Least that was how it was told.
Windy - Wow, I was in a clan like that. They didn't even believe in point stealing or making sure that even the little guys had a shot at a mech in the raids...I left real fast.
Pat - Yeah it can get messy fast, never know who is going to pull what. You currently happy in your clan or are you looking to the future with possibly other clans/larger ones?
Windy - iI is pretty quiet in shadowed suns but I like that. I was never really wanting to move around originally but eventually I got to be in the same clan-family as my bro and fight along side of him sort of. Sadly I didn't level fast enough for rnd and was kicked. Now I am quite happy in Shadowed Suns and we are actually more than willing to take on a lower level or lonely player. We are just enjoying the game though.
Pat - Good way to be so many take it too seriously and then egos get in the way it gets messy fast, see it on the game page almost daily. Got any particular goal or medal you are going to pursue in game?
Windy - Catch up with my bro... he is way up there and being his equal so we can spar would be fun.
Pat - Nice, well the family that blows stuff up together and so on.. Alright cool that's about it for this little Q&A I turn in the names and ID#s to Molly next Monday and you should see niodes from her no later than Thurs of the same week I suspect. She usually isn't that late in paying though.
Windy - Thanks. If you ever want another interview let me know. It's Christmas time. .
Pat - Works for me I haven't done one in a while got to get back in the swing of it. Thanks for dropping in, talk to you later.
Windy - Okay. happy holiday!
