kreatious.net

I thought it best to let everyone know a little bit about myself, since I have decided that this server will be my new home. Up to this point, I had been test driving this server for a few weeks.

I play Minecraft because it is an easy game to hop in and out of. I don't watch TV. I don't follow sports. But I do enjoy backpacking and camping (primarily with a local Boy Scout Troop that I am a volunteer with).

My Minecraft style is build it big, build it bigger, how much bigger can I possibly make it? The previous server I was on, is no longer in existence. My main fort there was massive (an estimate of the number of blocks that had to be cleared was 3.5 million). I hope to have similar scaled projects on this server. (my underwater city/base is starting out fine so far)

I am probably older than most everyone on the server.

I was a Sonar Technician on a Submarine in the US Navy (a nuclear powered fast attack submarine, SSN685)
I worked in a subset of the security industry. I used to fix all sorts of security related devices.
Not an all inclusive list:

Card access systems
CCTV
Automated doors
Automated gates
Parking Control systems
Revenue Control systems
Intercom systems
Vehicle Arrest barricades.
Anti Terrorist systems

I have been programming in one form or another for the past 32 years.
I have been paid to program for the last 13 years (finally!!)
I have 2 kids, 2 grandkids and a wife of 28 years.

I am pleased with the level of moderation (I really hate cussing. In my opinion: if you can't communicate with someone without cussing, it is a sign of low intelligence.)

I hope to get to know everyone better.

edit: forgot a closing parenthesis.

*whistles* my my! what an intro we've got here! Glad we can get to know more about you!

Wow, you truly seem to be a phenomenal person. I'm glad people like you are enjoying playing Kreatious! Can't wait to see how you let your skills shine here. Have fun!

Welcome to the server glad you enjoy it and I hope you will be around a long time.

Welcome to the server! Looks like you are quite interesting...hope I see you on shortly...damn downtimes.

Welcome to Kreatious! You sound like an interesting addition to your community

Welcome to the server! Btw, Nice intro :>

Welcome to kreatious. You seem like a well-mannered and mature player. I think this server is perfect for you because many of us have this kind of mentality.

Greetings, dsmotter. I recently discovered Kreatious and like the way things seem to be run here as well.

Hope I get a chance check out your one of giant creations sometime - they sound pretty ambitious!

(I'm working towards that "finally employed as a programmer" thing too! Not there yet, though. Also, over the past couple years I've got in to camping by bicycle touring - heading out for a weekend or more with tent and gear packed on the bike, mostly staying at state parks but also visiting friends and more backcountry camp sites once or twice. It's fun!)
