GG: Today we have Scott Abbott in the Galaxy Gathering
studio. Welcome Scott, can I offer you something from the wet bar or a cigar
from General Nova’s private stock?
Scott: Scotch on the rocks, please sir.
*Pours up a generous amount of Scotch into two glasses and
hands one of them to Scott*
GG: Enjoy! Thanks for taking the time to talk to us today.
Ok now that we are all comfortable let's get to it!
GG: For the record, what is your name, ID number and the
clan you are fighting with in this war?
Scott: I am Scott Abbott, #468961 of the Northwind Dragons
GG: What are you most looking forward to this war?
Scott: Seeing the BHG/AFF/BS alliance to try to win against
Dragons.
GG: Oh really? What are you seeing happen in your crystal
ball if that is not giving away any secrets?
Scott: Phoenix/Thunderbird/BS Bandits/BS Rising sun. I think the Russians are in on it too! Those damn bastards always poking their heads
in places where they aren't wanted.
GG: Ah so you are seeing a mixing of players from those
clans this war. Watch out for those Russians!
It will be interesting to see if this is a long-term alliance or a one
off for this war.
GG: There are 4 specialists this war. Do you enjoy running a
specialist formation or do you enjoy fighting as an unlimited more?
Scott: I like the added angle it brings to wars. It aggravates me when clan mates leave easy
points on the table when they aren't prepared for spec fights.
GG: Yeah in the Gold round that can be the difference from
wining vs loosing.
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?
Scott: Yes. It adds a
level of difficultly and forces you to use a spec that you may not always use.
GG: Yeah it mixes things up that is for sure. If you are a
clan that does not normally run specs this can throw a wrench in the works for
sure.
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?
Scott: With Nick, speculation leads to rabbit holes. I think that is why he does half of what he
does is to keep us speculating.
GG: Yeah sometimes it feels like you have a better chance of
a Magic 8 Ball giving you a straight answer then trying to figure out what Nick
is going to do next *Smile*
GG: Which specialist formation do you least enjoy fighting
against and why?
Scott: Ants. No matter the level it's a coin flip at best
most of the time.
GG: Yeah Ants can bring out the best bitching in a clan chat
for sure. *Grin*
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?
Scott: Excited may be the wrong word but I do like seeing
little changes here and there.
GG: What clan do you most enjoy fighting against and why?
Scott: I would say the BHG clans put up the clans that give
us the best fights. We always make changes back and forth.
GG: Victory without challenge is hollow. BHG vs Dragon
match-ups have made for some fun spectating over the years.
GG: What clan do you least enjoy fighting against and why?
Scott: Clans that don't put up a fight because they think
they don't have a chance or fight sloppily.
GG: Is there something in your career as a mech jockey you
are proud about and would like to share?
Scott: All the success I have enjoyed with my friends and MG
family both in AFF and continued in the dragons family of clans.
GG: Yes, friends I have made along the way are one of the
largest reasons I still show up for each war myself.
GG: Is there anything else you would like to add or a shout
out to a friend or foe you would like to give?
Scott: Shout out to everyone in the Dragon family who
continue to provide all the success and a shout out to Baruch for making
competitive clans each month to battle.
GG: Thanks for taking the time to talk with me today Scott.
It has been a pleasure. My best to you and your crew.
