Bio

My name, as you may have noticed, is Sven. The last part of my username is a historical reference to an important person in Dutch history, William the Silent to be specific, an important leader during the Dutch revolt. If this didn't tell you already, I love history. I eat, breath and sleep history. Anything involving a historically correct setting will most likely draw my interest, whether it is during the first or perhaps the second World War, the colonial age, or even the the ancient times during the Roman Empire.

Now to sum this up to an easy and bite sized piece of information, I will most likely be down for the following scenarios or genres in terms of roleplay:

- Apocalyptic settings, whether that be Zombie or natural disasters. (Both post-apocalyptic and during the apocalypse itself.)
- Roleplays during the first or the second World War are things I enjoy immensly and that is something i'm very knowledgeable on as well.
- Ancient Rome, love it. If you have anything to do with that or possibly with things like that such as the Greek city states, I will most likely be interested.
- Videogames, roleplays based on video games such as the Metro or the Fallout series are things I can also enjoy.

@Inertia Because promises made to Stalin during the Second World War were not delivered on and it made Stalin paranoid and suspicious. The Americans in turn didn't enjoy what the Soviets did after the end of the war and their general policy of disliking Communism didn't help much either.

(Stalin asked and was promised a second front to open in 1942, he waited as more and more Russians died. Then he asked again in 1943, again the allies promised him a second front would be opened soon. More Russians died yet again, empty promises.) Some people even speculate that the allies did this on purpose to weaken both powers enough so that things would go more in their favour, yet Soviet Russia had some real ass kicking abilities.

Not counting Italy because it didn't really put much pressure on the Germans untill later. (D-Day in France.)

Edit: Stalin was already paranoid and suspicious, the allies just poured on top of that. But you can't blame him, look up Operation Unthinkable for an interesting read.
Lets talk history, a subject I know lots and lots about. :D
@Rae Zer That's better.

Had to go to the hospital really early in another town today, got back around 12 and had an appointment to get my hair cut afterwards (Looking fly), need to make a post but i'm not really feeling it right now. Maybe tonight.
@Pripovednik Not really a nerd, I just have basic knowledge about first aid. He'll knock me out of the park with actual virus knowledge, how they work and what not. I however do have the common knowledge of treating infections, wounds and what not.
@Rae Zer So far i'm seeing common knowledge more then ''walking encyclopedia.'' So I challenge you to provide me with something I did not know yet. :) (All fun and games of course, not hating.)
I would like to remind everyone that fast infected are quite common in our roleplay. So far i'm only seeing posts including the slow infected. Fast infected can sprint, faster then you even. And they can scale small obstacles and climb up things faster.

Basically, even entering a store can become a clusterfuck if you encounter one or two of the fast ones. Personally I think I could kill a normal walker in real life, but if one of them comes sprinting at me then i'm going to need a change of pants. :P
@Pripovednik Correct.

I will do a second round of events a bit later today. And I'll see about getting another post up of my own.
@Rae Zer I live right next to a lake, well in a town connected to it. There are plenty of boats here and the population isn't to high. I would be alright. My country all though small also has the second highest agriculture output in the world. (We have some 16.9 million people here in an area the size of 16,033 sq miles.) I also have easy acess to a bunch of islands only acessable by boat.

My country has a lot of farm land, and farm land comes with lots of those small ditches with water, to carry the rain. Thus a lot of natural obstacles for the infected. The geography is also 100% flat like a pancake and heavily favours the defender all together. I reckon my country's army can knock this thing out rather quickly
@ViolentViolet When are you planning to post? Then I can plan ahead. :) (Going to bed now, i'll read your response, if any, tomorrow.)
@lavexis @lavexis If you think you can keep up amonst the more experienced players then you can join. I can tell you're new and I want to give new people a chance as well.
