In The Scope: Forkyeah

As one of the oldest multi-game, multi-platform gaming communities currently active, TAW has a distinct honor among gaming clans: where else in online gaming can you find a place where the father joined and the clan was around long enough for the son to join? Forkyeah is just such a member, second generation TAW. Not only is he a second generation member of TAW, but he is a second generation member of TAW's long-standing Quake Wars division along side his father Flydog. In no other player was the loyalty, longevity, and resilience of the QW team better represented that this decorated player. QuinoaAOC took a few minutes to get to know Forkyeah and put his thoughts on what it means to play in TAW in print. 

You have been in the Quake Wars division since 2009, did you play any other games with TAW prior to joining QW? if so, how did those divisions differ from QW? 
Nope.  
 
QW is the longest running active division in TAW, what is it about Quake Wars that you feel keeps the players interested in the game?
 Tactical Gameplay that rewards players who stick together and frustrates players who want to be rambo.

There are plenty of clans out there in a game as long running as Quake Wars, what made you decide to join TAW?
My Dad, Flydog, joined TAW so he convinced me to join so that we could get more than pub play out of Quake Wars.
 
What do you feel sets TAW apart from other clans?
The level of modesty that it has consistently stayed at. There are times where it can be inappropriate, but it is not constantly an 18+ environment like most other clans.

In your nearly 3 years in TAW, you have earned 4 medals and participated in numerous tournaments and other events, what was your proudest moment as a gamer in QW?
I gotta be honest, there are no specific events that stick out that I can accurately recall...BUT there is no prouder moment in Quake Wars than when you throw a last second grenade or fire a random rocket at the objective killing the enemies who are disarming or transmitting at the last second and your team wins the map because of it.

Do you play any other games with TAW or visit with any other divisions? if so, which ones and why?
Nope.

What do you feel sets QW apart from other divisions in TAW?
It feels like we create the leaders for new divisions since we are the old dogs.

As a Quake Wars player, what has TAW done to help you better enjoy your gaming experience?
Going from Pubplay to organized tournaments really shows Quake Wars potential as a game. I can understand how the popularity of Quake Wars has decline because the game is built for tactics and strategies which goes against the common, "Spawn, shoot, grenade, die"

What might someone be surprised to know about you?
I go to Arizona Christian University for a Christian Ministries degree and hope to be a pastor.
 
Do you have any special hobbies or activities outside of online gaming/TAW?
 I play the drums.

Any parting comments or things you would like to add about your QW for other TAW members?
If you want to spawn and be able to spray bullets down range, run in circles and pretend like you have a team then Quake Wars is not your game. There is no FPS out there that requires teamwork as much as Quake Wars does. Ask any of the super shooters in our division and they will admit that simply killing the enemy will not win a map. If you truly are looking to be part of a division where your ability to work with others will be stretched and developed then get 5$, go online, find the game, and switch divisions.
