My information:
Age: Almost 20, in July
Location: Kansas City, MO
Bio:

I was always interested in world war 2, but never knew anything about the battle of atlantic, or, subarmines. It started around my birthday waaay back when SH2 was first released (I think I was about 13). I was shopping at Best Buy for a present with my Grandma, when I saw a kick-butt box cover for Silent Hunter 2. Interested I picked it up and got it for my birthday.

Returning home, I popped it into my computer and installed it and went to play. Nothing. I later realised my computer was too slow/ no video card, not enough memory or anything. I purchased a new computer (2 new ones since!) with my birthday money and reinstalled it and began playing it.

Never playing one before or knowing what I was doing, the first mission, the Polish Flotilla, i thought they would sail right into me. I used time compression and everything. But I never selected a speed or anything (I really didn't read into the manual). After about 5 minutes I gave up. I began reading the stories in the SH2 manual and became really interested, and in the very back of the manual was links to sh2fleet.com and subsim.com

I joined the Wolfpack League, and played and learned new things. Finally Destroyer Command came out, I got that and played it also. After another 6 months after that I was soon the Flotilla Commander for the 3rd flotilla of the WPL.

Things slowly dwindled down, and I became a full-time reader here. Around 2004 I began developing my own indie-subsim located at my website in my signature.

I play SH3 and Lord of the Rings online, but my heart now lies in subsims!

I can't wait until October to meet all you other subnuts!
