    Default Get to know your fellow Senators!

    In YATS we encourage cooprative gameplay and story-writing, so it is natural that we would try to create a closer community than you might find in other games. That said, use this thread to post some details about yourself that you want to share with others. Don't get too specific, but give us enough to know something about you we might otherwise not.

    I'll start:

    My first name is Nate, and I'm a highschool senior from the US state of Connecticut.

    Next year I'll be going off to college at UConn, or the University of Connecticut, as a major in Classics and Ancient Medditerraean Studies. My dream is to become a professor, write a couple of books, and try to get my students interested in the Classics, perhaps even by using technology in a sort of YATS'y way. Failing that, I am sure I can find a job teaching high school.

    In my downtime I like to write (I edit our school's literary magazine) and act, as I'm a part of the drama club.

    So, if it doesn't make you uncomfortable, give us a few words about yourselves!

    My name's Matt.

    I am a first year university student at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia.

    I am currently taking Crimonology and Common law study as undergraduate courses (so much work involved). I intend to go into law school after that and become a lawyer, criminal preferably.

    I enjoy reading, movies, video games, history, mentally manipulating fellow students and hanging out with my friends.

    I love public speaking and have been debating going into a political career after graduation. Problem is Canada's politics are quite boring so...

    My name's Vladimir,

    I'm a second year English major at Cornell University (Woo! Sweet sixteen!). Not particularly too loquacious in terms of self description but cross my path in Curia or in speeches and I will post like no other. Nate and Matt can testify

    Currently working on two pieces that I hope to get published. One is rooted in realism while the other one is in fantasy. I have also done some writing about the Roman empire, particularly about the succession of Gordian III in the form of creative writing while using some of the names from YATS.

    Really, that sounds cool, you should post it here!

    My cousin goes to Cornell. Big Red is doing great while UConn is out. The world is upside down.

    You had better include Caesar or Gallus in there!

    My name's Cameron

    I live in an even smaller place than Nole, but in Louisiana. Im a Sophmore as well. After this hell hole I call High School is over, I plan to attend some sort of University and major in Law or Political Science and minor is either Political Science( if I take Law as major) or Theology.

    In my spare time, I usually end up on the internet because where I live is boring. But I go out, hang out with some friends. I have a great interest in History (Medieval era) and spend some time reading up on that. I read some every now and then and have chosen that my favorite book is the Godfather.

    There's really not much else to tell. Im still waiting to get a rig, but sooner or later, I will have one
    Also if you havent noticed, my favorite political figure of today's world would be the Putinator.

    My name's Sean, I live in the city of Hayward, California, USA.

    I'm attending community college at the moment, but I'm planning on transferring to a 4-year(didn't have the money the first time around ). I haven't gotten a major figured out yet, the classes I'm taking a quite all over the place but it will probably be something in history or mathematics.

    In my free time I (of course) play video games from flight sims like Allied Force to fun games like Demon's Souls. I practice Archery on Saturday and I shoot my Brown Bess, Finnish Mosin and M1911 on Sunday at the nearby range. Twice a month I go Airsofting and paintballing instead of Archery every other week.

    Oh, and I write video game reviews that never get released on really obscure games, such as Obscure.

    Um ok, I'm Yael (or Os for people who know me since I was a kid).

    I'm currently studying Computer Science in Toluca City, Mexico. If everything goes as planned, later this year I will be going to the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Italy, where I intent to specialize on research and human-computer interaction. I would say that aside from that my main interests are Arts in general and ancient history.

    On my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends, videogames, reading and just being on the internetz.

    My name's Tom,

    Studying History, English language and literature, Religious Studies and Spanish at AS level in Kent (County not the Uni ).
    Considering tons of different futures, law, philosophy, archaeology and at to university I'm undecided.

    Spare time consists of being with the girlfriend and mates, video games (when the xbox decides not to break which means I wait months before ringing up to get it sorted like currently) reading and hunting (mainly a beater).

    My name is also Tom.

    I live in Jászberény, Hungary and I go to High School here. My plans, thoughts, dreams use to vary from none at all to a lot, so I can't really say where I'm going - definitely something to do with History, Literature and similar subjects.

    During my free time I usually read, 'have fun' on the piano, write music, devise long and complicated plot-lines for YATS through which Chap can murder to his heart's content... Well, that kind of stuff.
