Gotland 02-05-11 05:55 AM

My username is the name of the latest submarine class in the swedish navy.
Im a swede in a subsim forum, so i thought it would be a very appropiate username.
Gotland is also the name of Sweden's largest island, and naval ships are by tradition always named after a coastal city/county.

But i chose the name purely because of the sub, i have no affiliation with the county of Gotland (never even been there).

Some years ago, I was fortunate to take a tour on HMS Ocelot with my father, and it was about a year or so later that I finally stopped lurking and became a member of Subsim. :yep:

Fish because a submarine isn't much good without a couple of fish (as in torpedoes) aboard.

Dark because, well, Metal music doesn't really fit "white" or "pink" or "bright yellow" too well....

I don't get over 300 meters... though I must refrain from playing it till monday - better to be paid when you waste your time on pengu-games ;)
nice game, it's part of the Yeti Games series, where innocent penguins are used as sports equipment in any imaginable way :D

You're lucky to get on one :cry: I missed out on getting onboard an Oberon some years ago for a school trip to the Maritime museum in Darling Harbour. Because of some false medical condition that I was thankfully made clear of by a competent eye doctor :stare: 8 years later in fact (this is why I hate most docs)
Though I know I still have a chance, I just need to save up and go down to the museum. They also have a warship you can get onboard too :) And have a buddy to go with, I sometimes hate going alone.


Anyway, I chose my name because of this guy http://images.wikia.com/zoids/images...no_Saurer1.jpg (GenoSaurer). Who was later made a custom (mine) called Geno Mariner who can get submerged and all of that... though I just recently made him back into land-only. But it's blue XD I'm into mecha stuff but certainly not Gundam or anything, they're crap. And humanoid robots are so over used. That's how I got my name when Obie told me of this forum and I was stuck for a username. Nearly picked Warshark, a submarine sort of Zoid (he's got a funnier Japanese name...). But decided on Geno Mariner :)

No you are mistaken, I did not miss, I chose to avoid the many avenues, and I sensibly understand that there was no pre-requisite conditional upon my posting. I need no reminder about whats what, or any advice offered that I did not ask for, thus did/do not expect, therefore infact it was (you who chanced) to take an avenue of further comment, not that (I missed). :doh: I should advise that any future posts from you be not so in haste, though I do understand your warm feelings to grasp a rapport within equally our forum.

However hmm...I see no need for your concerns to my dialectal verbiage.

My username was inspired by one of the MANY hilarious terms coined by on of my three autistic relatives... :D
