GG: Today we have Mortem Orbisque in the Galaxy Gathering
studio. Welcome Mortem, can I offer you something from the wet bar or a cigar
from General Nova’s private stock?
Mortem: Indeed you can my good man. I would be happy to peruse
both.
*Hands Mortem a full glass and passes over the cigar box*
GG: For the record, what is your name, ID number and the
clan you are fighting with in this war?
Mortem: Mortem Orbisque, #907239 CLAN: Emerald Dragons
GG: What are you most looking forward to this war?
Mortem: Aside from the ever-present desire for more and
better raid loot I am most looking forward to the potential of giving Renegades
the gift of a silver medal like they so graciously like they did for us last
war.
GG: You are such a re-gifter lol.
GG: There are 4 specialists this war. Do you enjoy running a
specialist formation or do you enjoy fighting as an unlimited more?
Mortem: I enjoy the tactical application of being a
specialist. It can be a great way of getting that extra little bit of toughness
that wins the war. I will admit that I do enjoy the occasional unlimited slug
fest though.
GG: MOAR Power!!
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?
Mortem: I am not a huge fan of forced specs but as long as
there are reasonable extra payouts for those that adopt the required formation
I think it could work out.
GG: So, based on your last answer you would be in favor of
Nick giving a bonus prize to the SRB specialists this war like he did for the
20T guys last war?
Mortem: Yes indeed my good man. That was a happy little
extra that took an annoying situation and made it tolerable. I think that it is
only fair to offer some form of bonus compensation whenever something like this
is done that limits a clans tactical options.
GG: Well only time will tell if Nick agrees with you.
*Smile*
GG: Which specialist formation do you least enjoy fighting
against and why?
Mortem: Oddly enough, I dislike rainbows as a whole and
SRB's in particular. I think it is a lingering dislike from before the devs
changed the way the rewards were structured from niode purchases and a new
pilot could drop 5 bills and become god in the lower and middle divisions on
the power of a bought and paid for SRB.
GG: Yeah spenders... needed to keep the game around and
hated by all the free players *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?
Mortem: I am interested in what will happen with this,
especially if adjustments like this become a standard variable for CW. as far
as my formations go I will not be making any changes, just sitting back and
smiling as my spitfires hopefully become monsters.
GG: What clan do you most enjoy fighting against and why?
Mortem: I really have enjoyed fighting Red Alert and their
recent replacement Renegades. They have been the most fun and challenging clans
to fight in our division for a long time now.
If we didn't have an arch nemesis like them CW could get boring after a
while.
GG: What clan do you least enjoy fighting against and why?
Mortem: Pretty much any clan that gives up and plays dead
before the first shot is fired.
GG: Is there something in your career as a mech jockey you
are proud about and would like to share?
Mortem: I am proud of how far I have been able to make it in
this galaxy with all of the logistical and supply issues I have faced along the
way. I believe that we spoke about some of those challenges last time I dropped
by your office.
GG: Yes, not having access to the IuKs makes it tough.
GG: Is there anything else you would like to add or a shout
out to a friend or foe you would like to give?
Mortem: A shout out to all of my clan mates. You guys rock!!
GG: Thanks for taking the time to talk with me today. It has
been a pleasure. My best to you and your crew.
