Personal stuff
I am 36 years old and I live in Nottingham, UK. I had moved back here last year after living in London
for 10 years. It was getting to be too expensive for my liking. And so, when I came back. I'd been temping for a while, until end of last year where I am now permanently employed at Boots/Unipart Logistics.
This site started out as just a brief profile about me, and then
escalated in a collection of four in a row links. I concerned myself with specifically multiplayer four in a row, which mostly have a strong community and/or tournament features.
I am always open to submitted four in a row site links from people, and I will add them if you email or sign my guestbook with the link.
Its worth mentioning my close friends, and ex-flatmates, Chris
and Dave. I don't get to see them enough these days, what with work commitments, but try as I may.
Favourite stuff
Music - industrial, dark wave, EBM, synthpop, new wave
Hobbies - playing pool, ten-pin bowling, computing, online games, MTB riding
Alcohol - guinness, Baileys and liqueurs,
Interest in 4iar
I joined ItsYourturn 28th May 2000 (under the user ID asterisk), after reading about this site in The Guardian's supplement The Editor.
I met some great and tough players, and the player who stands out the most has to be Saddq. He is the most challenging of opponents and the record holder of the most tourney wins.
I would rate myself as an above average player, but never quite the master. My best game variation is connectris/quicksand. I have never won a stack 4 tournament, though I have
been in the final on many occasions. Unfortunately I have always been pipped at the post by the likes of Saddq, Stackasaurus, McStack, The_Pretender and a host of others.
And then I was introduced to Goldtoken on 20 February 2001 by Stackasaurus. Personally I do rank this site as the best in terms of 4 in the row playing.
It has more variations on the theme of 4iar and this proves challenging for even the most expert of stack 4 players. The graphics are superb on this site and
the rating system is also a bonus.
Being based in the UK hasn't stopped me making some very good friends at these sites, which include Bouncer WolfFang, Badger, Jonkojack, stackasaurus, stackmonster,
arctic warrior, saddq, quiltin maniac, and my evenly matched connectris rival Lerone (the Stackinator), plus many more.
