Greetings MOB and community from the RafterMan!



My real name is Marc, and I've been an avid fan of CoD:UO since it came out and have been a regular fan of and player on the MOB Barbarossa and (more often) Tuchola Forest for about six months. I always find the highest quality play on your servers.



I'm 36 and live in Boston. As a trial lawyer with a stressful practice, I find there is nothing quite like taking off to the Eastern Front for a few hours to blow off some steam (and blow up some tanks). I only wish my wife understood the importance of going to the front -- she even refused to get me the STUGIII self-propelled anti-tank gun I wanted for Christmas, notwithstanding my assurance that we could mostly conceal it in a low-profile, hull-down defensive position in the backyard.



Go figure...I'm a huge WWII history buff, and try to read at least one book on the subject per month.



I'd like to join "Regs" at some point,and have just started learning about the process. There is no other clan I am particularly interested in, and it seems like the MOB members are a very diverse and dedicated group.



Some other facts -- favorite weapon: Kar98k sniper or Mosin-Nagant sniper, with a little arty for spice; favorite maps: Tuchola, Foy; motto: defuse or die trying!



Looking forward to meeting more folks online! Feel free to drop me a line...or a satchel charge, if you are on the other side!

Greetings and welcome. Look forward to seeing you often.

I actually found MOB because of my love for the Tuchola map. Now I enjoy all the servers.

Thanks Shred and Burn! I have checked out Frontline, and that seems to be a totally fantastic map, although it seems that everytime I look, it is not that very populated.



CoD2 is a sensitive subject for me. I loved the single player game, but the multiplayer pissed me off so much that I wrote a huge post on it at the Gamespy forums. I thought it was a rediculous, huge step back from UO -- no vehicles, no arty, etc. With that said, it looks like some patches and some mods have made it more appealing, and I will be checking out MOB CoD2 servers in a few weeks. I just hope my connection speed is as nice as the UO servers! Hope we get to meet sometime. Best wishes.







Thank you, but I'm afraid that full compliance will be difficult, as I'm sure you understand. Wouldn't be very challenging if I just sat back....However, have been owned by you before, I suspect trying and sitting down are basically the same thing! Best wishes.!







Thank you T/A6Pak! I have seen you around wrecking people and things I pretty sure LOL! This is probably a silly question reeking of noobitude, but could you tell me how ventrillo works? Is it a program that lets you speak to one another via headset, or am I totally off base? Thanks in advance, and looking forward to seeing you on the field.







Indeed Bunny! We've played a good bit together, as I recall. Looking forward to more!







LOL! Very funny, and thanks. Do you play on Tuchola [email="S@BOT"]S@BOT[/email]? I think I have seen you before, but not sure where....Anyway, fear not -- not only do I not know how to shark on a map (i couldn't cheat if you paid me I'm so technically inept), but I'm not really the prototypical lawyer -- Im a commercial litigator, never do personal injury, although kicking ass and taking names is definitely part of my job description. Now I just have to make that work in UO....not as easy when the Red Army is storming your bunker -- much tougher than defense lawyers...

OH cross he always likes to open with a joke like he could kill any one lol i belive iv playd with you a few times on the forest so wecome TO the forums

Oh yes, I play the forest. Just haven't been in lately. I will make it a point to get in and play a round or two with you, Rafterman! Good to have you here!

BTW, ventrilo (Google it) is voice over internet. If you are running windows xp 32 bit, you will need the client side download (win i386 32bit ver. 2.3.0). Once you have it downloaded and installed, you will most likely see how to get it all running, but if you have difficulties, just post or pm most anyone here and we can get you going.

You might want to invest in a headset with microphone for this. A stand-alone microphone and speakers works, but it isn't the best and after a while you will wish you had the headset, I promise! Look forward to having you on vent!

Hey Rafterman welcome to the {MOB} forums!
I can relate, there's nothing better than going in and popping off a few rounds to relieve your stress after a long day. My wife is the same way when it comes to playing COD UO….. she just doesn’t understand.

I wish I had a buck for everytime my wife called me SICK. She just don't get that its just my way of letting off some steam, but i'll keep trying.

LOL! We would all be rich! I don't think most spouses "get it." I tried to explain that the sound of rolling arty accross a devastated Russian lanscape is very relaxing, particularly in a target rich environment, sort of like a spa treatment. The look I got was priceless! She said I needed therapy. I responded that this IS therapy!

welcome man

[email="S@BOT"]S@BOT[/email] -- Thanks for the tips! I have a headset already, I just need to figure out how to use it. I will try setting it up this weekend, and will follow the instructions on the FAQ to get the password information.



This may sound even more silly, but what does "MOB" actually stand for??? I don't see it posted prominently anywhere on the site (I suspect by design) and have, frankly, been too embarrassed to ask until now.



Thanks again, and looking foward to gaming with you!







Thanks! I have played with you before I think, and it's pretty nifty that you have two possible names (i've seen the pancakes tag before -- I specifically remember getting shot by you and thinking: "if you mess with the Pancakes, you get the syrup!") Looking forward to playing more.







A true brother in arms! lol!

Why Can't We relieve stress anymore....This is why Shivery died.
