Well I am from the Netherlands, come from a town called Zutphen, which is in the eastern part of the Netherlands.
I am 39, I work as a financial controller for a foundation in health care business. I am single and have 2 cats.
My greatest hobby is general history but mainly focused on military history. I like to read and have more then a 1,000 books at home.
My favourite book genre is fantasy, and the Song of Fire and Ice by George Martion my favourite serie in that genre.
The last music CD I bought was the album of Green Day, American Idiot.
The last DVD I bought was Kingdom of Heaven.
I am a big football fan (soccer for you americans
), I support a team called, Go Ahead Eagles, which plays in a town nearby. They currently play in the dutch second division, the team was founded in 1902 and we used to be a big club, 4-times national champion, alltough the last time was a while back, in 1933
.
Paradox is my favourite games developer, obviously. HoI was the first game I bought from them. And I loved it. After about 3 months playing it, I found this forum and joined. I then bough EU2 and played that for almost a year. After about a year being member I started posting. After EU2 came Victoria, which I only played for a short time, I like part of its concept and the timeframe, but I just can't figure out how to play it.
Then came my favourite game CK. For me it is highly addictive, I am either playing it or discussing it on this forum, or I am involved in a mod.
I also have HoI2, which is nice, but I soon was back on CK again. CK is the only Paradox game I can play without ever using a cheatcode
. With the other I am always tempted to use 1 but CK is so easy in that aspect that I don't need to.
After some CK games, I started to write things down, familytrees, who did what when and so on. But I never came to writing an AAR. But then finally a few weeks ago, I thought lets give it a try. And see what happens, I am nominated WritAAR of the Week.
My main goal this year on the forum is to reach the 3,000 post mark. Which should be doable. At the beginning of this year I maybe had 400 posts, in june I reached a 1,000, late august, early september I was at 2,000.
I also hoping that I will be able to write more AAR's about CK.
It sounds geeky, and I am geeky but I am a proud geek
