GG: Today we have Bob Goetz in the Galaxy Gathering studio.
Welcome Bob, can I offer you something from the wet bar or a cigar from General
Nova’s private stock?
Bob: Sure, like the Double malt myself.
*Gets out 2 large glasses and a bottle of "Old
Tanersley" one of the best double malts you can't buy on the open market.
John hands one of the glasses to Bob*
GG: Ok now that we are all comfortable let's get down to
business!
GG: For the record, what is your name, ID number and the
clan you are fighting with in this war?
Bob: Robert C Goetz Sr. #175626 MG Defender's {AFF} (Collector's)
GG: What are you most looking forward to this war?
Bob: Seeing if we can score more points against The Isle of
Misfit Toy's (MMI), they won D2 gold last time and we were the new kids on the
block and lowest in division but still earned silver, doubt that will change
anytime soon, but want to see if increasing our average a little brings us more
offence.
GG: The joys of clan leadership. Learning what you can from
the last fight and adjusting from there to get a better outcome. I wish you the
best in your quest.
GG: There are 4 specialists this war. Do you enjoy running a
specialist formation or do you enjoy fighting as an unlimited more?
Bob: Last CW I was 1200t and did quite well not only did I
receive D points all 3 rounds but I used it against others mains last 2 rounds
and beat almost half of 1 clan and over half the other...so a tighter better
force was nice, and considering the level difference I was very impressed, I do
always try to keep all my formations current as to be able to attack where and
when needed, but this CW I'm going unlimited as thought it would be nice to let
some of the others have the fun 🙂
Bob: I'd love to see something different for next Squad
Wars, 5 member squads all specialist all has to be different...it will show the
true commitment to the game for all involved...
😈
GG: I see your Mother taught you the value of sharing.
*Smile*
GG: Yes, a five member squad and everyone has to have a
different spec would be a tough test of a lot of groups for sure.
GG: This war every clan must have an SRB specialist to
enter. Are you a fan of a clan being required to have a specialist just to
enter the war?
Bob: I have mixed feelings about it to be honest, Rainbows
are simple so no biggie, but 20T could be tougher for some players, so either
way if you're prepared no big deal but if you’re not can catch you off guard. I
neither hate or love it.
GG: Do you think Nick will give a bonus prize to the SRB
specialists this war like he did for the 20T guys last war?
Bob: hmmm...didn't think about that...not sure what it could
be..a 1 legged mecha?? lol but would be
nice to get something extra...we all want MOAR!!
GG: And the MOAR crowd goes wild!
GG: Which specialist formation do you least enjoy fighting
against and why?
Bob: the ones that require not weight like 30T for example
but the ones that require a certain mechas like iMech KOTM, as far as in
CW's...rather not give out which ones I rather not face.. wouldn't want the
enemies to know which ones to pick 😈 that is classified
information.
GG: Fair enough we will never push for Classified Info
*Smile*
GG: This war missiles are getting a +50 Speed boost. Are you
excited about this and will this change how you set up your formations?
Bob: Yes on both parts...I went through all my formations
added more missiles and missile shielding...this will make the prepared look
beastly against the ones that failed to plan...as old saying goes if you fail
to plan you plan to fail...I expect to see lots of these...I mean if some
players can't even be bothered to make sure they have HG...why should we expect
them to be ready for this new twist.
GG: Ah yes, the lack of HG. I see that way more often then I
should.
GG: What clan do you most enjoy fighting against and why?
Bob: Currently (MMI) they are the gold standard in D2 so
nice to see where our troops measure up against theirs.
GG: What clan do you least enjoy fighting against and why?
Bob: Could say same clan...as we know at this time they are
out of our league power wise...
GG: Is there something in your career as a mech jockey you
are proud about and would like to share?
Bob: I guess thing I’m most proud of is the {AFF}, we've
been here plugging away for over 4yrs, sometimes we were the underdogs other
times we were the favored, but the loyalty of our guys even in the down times
has remained, other groups have risen and fell since begging of this game but
we remain...we may not be the most feared...or even respected in the game but
we are here to support the game and our friends, and at the end of the day it's
a game to be played for fun if you're here for any other reason...why? Let's
treat each other as friendly rivals and have some fun, Peace out 🙂
GG: Very well said. *Smile*
GG: Is there anything else you would like to add or a shout
out to a friend or foe you would like to give?
Bob: Get gear loaded Pilots I smell war...and it's very near....see
ya on the battlefield..remember Xeon is the scourge of the galaxy...go get you
some of that!!
GG: Ok thanks again for taking the time to talk with me
today Bob. It was a pleasure. I wish the best to you and your crew.
