Darknis1's Profile
Interview with a Vamp...er Darknis1
Yes it's true. I am an arena GOD. (In a non-sacrilegious way).
How can that be you ask? Well...
| Name | Age 1 | Age 2 | Age 3 | Age 4 | Average |
| Me | 6 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3.25 |
| XCWarrior | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 | 4 |
All other users are insignificant.
But didn't XC quit for a bit?
Yes he did and then he came back.
But he quit..
And he came back.
But--
...
Now if a person quit before the final week of arena then I wouldn't count that in their average. Someone such as Yoseph for example. He quit for good and well before the end week. So that I wouldn't count.
What is your favorite race?
Zora. They are in fact the best race in the game. If people can't see that, then I can't help them.
Do you hide back in the rankings because you are afraid of the other users?
I stay back in the rankings because I like the freedom of mobility. Someone stuck on the first page might have as little as 30 users to attack. I, on the other hand, might get about 250 users to access.
Why don't you purchase AUs?
Because they limit mobility. See Above. Great commando Advanced Units 97,907. Quite impressive, however, # 8 rank.
What is your arena strategy?
If anyone knows me, then they know my strategy. In fact, several players have basically the same one. Mine has slightly evolved during the ages but it has maintained the same core.
Who do you think are the best players?
That's a tough one. Some are good based on their performance and others based on their strategy. Like they could have a good strategy but not utilize it to its full potential. These are my top picks: Thumpercats, XCwarrior, megaman31415, SirEmily, FireKeeper, Crustache, thedarkworlord5
What don't you like about arena?
There sure are a lot of things...All-offense users, they are a major annoyance in my strategy. Nfreak still hasn't created more expensive items in the Spy/Sentry categories. Some users know why that is a problem. Users that are vulgar and/or curse a lot in PMs or in the attack messages. I've made plenty of suggestions to Nfreak.
Why did you join the NASTY Syndicate?
Well, I was in the NASTY guild back in Age 3 beta and then it merged with Riddler's Mysterious Syndicate. I have this notion of loyalty to one's guild (Which brings about my resentment about how Age 3 ended but that's another matter). We had an agreement with NOC pre-Age 3 but that fell apart due to a sudden case of NOC amnesia. Anyway, all I really needed was people to trade SP with. Sure having strong spy and attack power members would've helped but I figured I can do the dirty work myself.
How come you gave up Guild Master in Age 4?
I owed it to Riddler. Back in Age 3 I didn't leave enough time to get everything finished. I planned to turn it over to NAS14. Age 4 NAS was pretty much MIA and so it belonged to Riddler. I didn't realize it at the time but he plays a significant role in guild recruitment.
What happened to NASTY Syndicate?
It appears to have been dissolved. That's okay because I only remember seeing about 2 members Age 5. It pretty much collapsed and I agree with the decision of not dragging the NSyn legacy through the mud when it's a shell of its former self.
How is your success made possible?
My strategy and other users. Special thanks to NAS14 and Riddler and all the people who have been in NSyn. Users who gave me SP, gold, and especially their support after major sabs. Thank you. megaman31415 for sabbing my supplies, no one may know why but this played a large role.
You say Age 2 was your best chance to win, what happened?
I failed Item Management 101. View the archive stats and you'll see.
Some said you would decide who won Age 3, how so?
A few users figured the way I spent my gold would affect the spy/sentry rankings and determine who'd win the game. The only problems were: 1. My lack of gold 2. Poor point usage
Why have you only played for a week this age?
Arena burnout mostly. It started back in age 4. I didn't actually want to play then but I did. You know you need a break when you're in a theater watching Pirates of the Carribean and you see some treasure and think "Gee, I hope no one steals my gold in the game". I was hoping to do some modding this age but it wasn't meant to be.
And finally what are your predictions for Age 5?
Right now I'm expecting a good showing by IceNinja, Inuyasha, Fallen, and fearme. Not necessarily in that order.
A true master paralyzes his opponent leaving him vulnerable to attack.
