Asking a bunch of introverts to talk about themselves. That's such a wonderful idea. Well, I'm cthulhuandyou. I'm also Galchuk on RSI and Dr. Jan Itor on Steam, though that last one is subject to change on a whim. If you've been active on Mumble or the chat room at all, you've probably talked to me, or at least talked while I was there and probably listening. This is going to be the first space sim I'm going to really play in a long while, though I have logged some time in a couple of others. Most notably I put days into Star Wars: Rogue Squadron back when Windows 98 was still a big thing, though I don't know how much that counts. My gaming resume is all over the place, from AAAs to indie games to board games. My favorite genre would have to be strategy with a focus on RTS, though my favorite game is actually Metroid Prime. Aside from gaming, my main interests are physics, guitar, and linguistics.

Moving on to the real topic of this post, I'm in the running for this exploration council position. Exploration has always been a huge interest of mine. The exploratory aspect is one of the main reasons Metroid Prime is my favorite game. In my opinion no other game can match the exploration in that game, and the only ones close are other Metroid games. I'm hoping this changes with Star Citizen, though. I've been waiting for a game like this for years. To that end, I want to be at the front lines of everything exploration (which is pretty much all I'm going to do), and this position would be a huge boost to that. If you're concerned with my potential dedication, don't be. An INTP working on a long-time obsession is a force to be reckoned with, especially if the topic is one INTPs are predisposed to anyway. In addition to that, this is going to be the first serious group I'm going to play with in any mmo, and I'd like to do everything I can to help make the experience of this organization a great one. I also have the lack of a life necessary for a leadership position in this game, as evidenced by the fact that I spent an hour last night typing out a comment in /r/asksciencefiction about the inner workings of the Sith.

In the end, I'm going to be focusing on exploration no matter what. It's up to you whether you want me in a position to help the organization to the best of my abilities while I'm doing so.
