Stealth Hunter · 07-12-07, 02:40 PM

Name: (You really don't need to know that, it's the Internet, people...)
Age: 55
Sex: Male
Current Residence: United States of America
Occupation: Retired (originally, a bodyguard for the Shah of Iran and later a Captain in the military)
Bio: Not a whole lot to me, just a human being who likes games and computers and books and guns. Had an exciting life 25 years ago, but... this is 25 years later. Currently, I belong to several other websites that are about the navy. I have several brothers and several sisters. My parents are deceased, but life goes on. I was born in Tehran, Iran on March 12, 1952 and lived there until 1988. I originally served as a guard for the Shah, but when the revolution came, I joined the regular army. I served in the war against Iraq and left the country afterwards to see my family in the US. I've lived here ever since, and I'll probably die here with overseas restrictions and whatnot.

namika · 08-16-07, 09:03 AM

Hello everyone, after joining and spilling my posts a bit all over the threads I think I'll introduce myself. I may get very carried away (as I always get) at some points so excuse me for the long post.

My name is Dávid Nagy, 17, living in the "City of Sunshine", Szeged, in Hungary (so lovely place to get killed by the hot summer).
I was born in Budapest, the capital, but we had to move because of the change of my mother's workplace when I was 6 and so I started my elementary school in Szeged-Szőreg, a whole new place for me. First few years I tried to act so I can get closer to the friend groups (which were formed before, in the kindergarten) without much success. Later on I realized I shouldn't try to be common to others, I should walk on the way I'd like to walk. That time, around 12, started history and Hungary interest me and I started to suck in informations regarding them.
They never really understood me in my elementary class, but at the end I didn't care what they thought about me. I started to read a lot of books and grew fond of them. Also I wrote a few poems, but then I realized that the things that are in my mind and I write about are too complicated for me to fully translate it into a good poem (and sometimes stressful to even think about them) so I gave up writing in rhymes.
I chose an economy school to study in, because I'm also very interested in economics. I like to play with numbers to find better, practical, more profitable ways of producing, building. But mainly I'm just doing this on the level of hobby.
I have a very good class now, they understand me or at least they don't bother me and they tolerate all my "strange" thoughts and goals (which I have more and more as the years pass).
As my love for history grew I started to look for plus informations about everything. I can't name a favourite country or period from history, I'm interested in everything.
In my opinion the history is like a spider web: everything is influenced by everything. You can't cut the timeline into fully separated periods and you can't draw a line and say that nothing happened before/after that date. Everything is in connected; even the furthest parts of the web and you cannot cut out one part without the whole structure loosing its beauty and strength.

But the thing I love more than the facts of the past are the people behind the grey papers of a history book. People, who lived their lives under the (occasional) dark storms of history and sometimes they didn't foresee the changes in the future.
To make this understandable I can say the example of the good people living in deep valleys, among great mountains (don't think of some 3rd continent, you can find them in Europe and the USA and everywhere else as well).
They lived their lives: talking, gossiping, loving, caring, doing the right or wrong things, they joked on each other and themselves. Then when the storms came, spilling blood because of the words of big leaders, these people tried to find the good (but narrow) path between the lies, murder and other guilty things. Mostly they succeeded finding it and cheerfully tried to live their lives. There are stories about them, how they lived unhindered by history. Some of them funny, some of the sad. But they all let us learn from these people's faith.

I love the people, I love to take a peak into their souls, to see what they think and how they live their lives. Whatever you say, whatever bad acts I see made by them, I think that one of the little wonders of the world we are all surrounded by are the people itself. Everyone, may it be little or big, black or white or yellow, man or women have little diamonds in them, little wonders that are worth discovering and to get to know.

Well that's one thing they call strange in me, and oh mein Gott I got really carried away.

I'm a big lover of reenactment. Primarily because of my love of history and of Hungary. We show others how they lived in the war of freedom in 1848/49, how they made their weapons, how they believed in victory or how they feared the Russian tsar's and the Austrian kaiser's armies and how our history was changed by this war. We do the same in with our other, WW2 reenactment group. We try to bring back an age and the simple people of the age. We make classes in schools and try to show the youngsters something about the past, something which is different than what they read on the books' grey pages. Also it's a great thing in reenactment that the reenacters from both sides, once enemies, chat happily and form great friendships. We refight the battle of Szőreg for example and then we excitedly chat with the Czech reenacters about the battle play and about the whole event.
I'm trying to hold a plus history class in my school, to talk about things freely, to give the others interested some extra information or stories about some periods of history.

I don't know yet what I should do after the high school, mostly I'll go to a university... but after that? It's an open question.

antikristuseke · 08-17-07, 09:52 AM

Name: Just call me Anti, or Antikristuseke, with that my real name isnt difficult to find, though completely irrelevant.
Birthdate: 24.11.1986
Sex: Male
Country of Residence: Estonia or Estland or Eesti, whichever you prefer.
Ocupation: Sheetmetal worker
Bio: Not much to say here really, dont have any form of a useful education exept a highschool diploma though thats more to do with my choise than being unable to learn. Im interested in military hardware, mostly of the WW2 era, medieval weaponry and combat techniques, cars, motorcycles, computers and overclocking. Am a regular at nearly all metal concerts, so a metalhead by trade and by taste in music

. now for my hobbies and the results i have achived so far, this one I really havent been able to verify, but to the best of my knowledge i currently hold a world record for having the fastest clockspeed on an opteron 165 utilizing air cooling, though have held world 3rd places in WPrime for some time in the last year, now i sohuld be in the top 10 but not that high, for only opteron 165's though. Allso practice axe throwing as a hobby, but no competitions for this activity here sadly, allso i suck quite badly at it.

Some pictures taken this year at hard rock laager i posted earlyer in this forum before noticing this thread.
