_____________________________________________________________INTERVIEW

[LadyGamers]: How and when did you get your start in Quake 3?

[Magenta]:  As long as I can remember I've always loved playing any type of video game, Super Mario Bros. 1 was my favorite childhood game, but because I liked it so much and played it constantly, I became to good a it :P  So I decided to play it upside down for more of a challenge :D. The love of playing games really drove me to save up and buy my first PC when I was 18. I went to the local gaming store to see if I could find a PC game that I would be interested in. When I saw the Q1 box sitting on the shelf, it really caught my eye... so I decided to give it a try, and fell in love with it. I played Q1 about a year into the release of Q3 until I finally tried it out. So basically Q3 was my second love, and all the great mods that came with it. The fast paced action never ceased to bore me, and I've been hooked ever since.

[LadyGamers]: How did you choose your nickname, and what does it mean to you?

[Magenta]: From the end of Q1 to the beginning of Q3 my nickname was "MagnetA" as I always seemed to magnetically strafe into oncoming rocket paths. Many of my fellow online friends would tend to mispell my former name and call me by "MagentA" instead, it seemed to fit more anyways, so I changed it to stick indefinitely :)

[LadyGamers]:  What clan are you currently in, what mods does it play and how did you become a member?

[Magenta]:  I am currently an ecstatic member of -=OCI=- (Our Connection Interrupted). I fragged with OzZ-=OCI=- quite frequently at various servers before he recruited me about 5 months ago. We pretty much play every type of mod. Our public server is running OSP Q3 1.32b / OSP v1.03a and all the associated mods that come with it as well as an extensive map rotation.... all are welcome to come frag us @ 207.44.248.20:27963.

[LadyGamers]:  What was it like being the only female in an all male clan, for so long?

[Magenta]: I felt very welcomed when I first arrived into the clan, everyone is very friendly here and they pretty much treat me as "one of the guys" or just a "player" when we frag. I could not have been happier though when Bitter_Ivy aka (you) lol joined our clan, it is definitely very cool to have another lady around to talk to and also to team up with and frag "the boys" :D. We have a very tight knit group at -=OCI=- and everyone has formed great friendships with each other.

[LadyGamers]: Are you currently participating on a tourney team?

[Magenta]:  Yes, we are currently signed up for Season 3 at BICTF and we are also interested in participating in an ICTF tourney, we are looking into this atm.
