Adz

well I have known you for a while now, but for anyone reading this that doesnt know you, introduce yourself!


raii

MY name is ryan "raii" kemmery, i was infused during the 06/07/08 period and used to play/lead the css team. I havent been to actively recently but weve got something sorted for i34, so hopefully you'll be having a few beers with me and farley again adz :)
 


Adz

Ah so what are your plans for i34? last I heard you were with some oldschool organisation d.skyline?


raii

no comment on the d.skyline. That all fell apart really when pez and ewaf went back to TLR, which left me farley and hotshot. Me and farley decided to stay together (as always) and thought we' get back together with a couple of oldschool infused guys (some of which went to midlans ;) Also we will start getting ready for i34, not that 3 weeks practice is guna be enough. But we'll go for the laughs



Adz

ooo does this mean the smiling zesty is coming back?


raii

unfornately not! Although he did come back earlier in the year and came to LAN79 with me and farley under club:ai (again no comment on the organisation :D) But hes away in Asia for the whole of august, nice try but keep guessing :p



Adz

aha well in that case it means we are looking at drazah and possibly sir-render! .. anyways im glad you mentioned club:ai, it seems that recently you have quite a bit of bad luck with the organisations you have found yourself in, has this demotivated you from playing the game at all?


raii

it really did, and thats why i havent really been around in the last few months. All we wanted was a stable home to play under - we thought we had it with clubai and we definately didnt! and the d.skyline was just a big mess really. But hopefully with i34 in mind, it'll remotivate me to get back into play properly again. Oh and it might be the small man from Yorkshire, not sure tho :p



Adz

With you and Farley having played together for such a long time, do you not get sick of the loud scouser? (not that I ever would!)


raii

haha, he even lived with me for like 3 weeks! You think you would get sick of someone having been with them for so long, but when farley left infused for tlr - i really missed the scouse. So its good to be back playing with him, as he really is an asset when you play on LAN - shame he cant really cook tho :DD



Adz

A few people thought that the biggest fail point for your previous lineups was a certain love for all things alcoholic! Yourself, farley and w1p are hardly small time drinkers at events! Do you think this does have an overly negative effect on your performance at LANs?


raii

definately, back when we were playing there werent half as many good teams as there are now. So you could afford to have a couple of heavy nights, and still place highly. But with the new crop of big teams coming to lans, staying in hotels and bootcamping before events you have to stay sober otherwise you'll fail! But that wont stop us drinking, you for one know that lol



Adz

I certainly do! Ok bit of a random question to get you thinking. If you could play in any lineup you liked, what would that lineup be?


raii

I could be boring and say the old lineup that went to TeX (me, farley, w1p, zesty and shad) as that was probably the best team ive been in. But i couldnt say no playing with hudz, crazycat, drazah and hostage (lmao)



Adz

haha, nice little addition of paul! What has been your favourite LAN event ever attended so far?


raii

Easy answer to that, TeX. no other event (in my mind) has been setup like it. Even when we had delays, they had built delays into the shedule so infact you werent really delayed as you had a 2 hour cushion to get things sorted. And of course the free beer tickets were a great addition and should be added to ALL lan events :P



Adz

The free beer was pretty awesome. So do you have any plans post i34 at the moment?


raii

does that mean before or after i34?



Adz

after :p


raii

LOL :D erm, we're just guna see how it goes, its was just a lineup for i34 and some of the guys will probably go off to other teams. But the core will still be there, and something may come up ;)



Adz

fair enough. Final question... whats your favourtie gaming organisation?


raii

hahaha....good question..... club:ai :D



Adz

safe!


raii

nah, ive only ever had one home, infused you dummy :D



Adz

<3 Any final shoutouts?


raii

To my big man farley, to everyone who ill be undoubtidly be buying beers for at i34 :p
