Hey everyone,

I'm mdzdri (everyone calls me JJ though) and I'm 21. I started playing TW a very long time ago (I first played on 0.5.2 I think) but then I had a 5,5 year long break, came back to TW half a year ago. That basically means that when I came back it was like a fresh start for me. I was, and still am, a huge noob who only recently completed almost all of the Novice maps (expect a few like Koule because I really don't appreciate playing them and a few that I just haven't played yet for whatever reason). However since Novice maps got boring I moved on to Moderate (all thanks to Aoe's Pros Play TW series where I actually saw how to do a few things). My current goal is to finish Baby Aim 1.0 and then 2.0 (the 1.0 I could probably do it but it ain't fun to do a map in 4+ hours, is it?).
I am usually playing with a buddy from college who really got into TW aswell and sometimes you might see me alone playing some dummy map (so far my favourites are Samsara I and Caventure I & II [still working on finishing the II]).

Well, I guess that's enough said about me.

Cheers, have an awesome day and good luck in your maps!

@EDIT:
After mentioning Aoe I thought it would only be fair if I mentioned other players that I've always looked up to (etiher back when I first played TW or recently when I came back to the game):

• Dinner - I was always amazed by this guy's skill. Learned a few things from his YT channel and hope to be as good as he is one day
  Spyker - His videos showed me how to at least try the Naufrage maps (Brutal is still too hard for me but it was still fun to try them!)
  Forris - After seeing his penta nade video I decided to get better with the rocket. So far the rocket is my favourite weapon (followed by shotgun) and I am working on my triple nade jumps
  Cenarrius - I have no clue if he is still playing but when I first started playing I was amazed by what he was doing

A little addition to my TW story. I never really liked DDRace back when I started playing TW, the only maps that I finished back then where some maps that I cannot remember the name of and Skynets. However I really enjoyed racing and I remember that back then my favourite map was run_blue and I still have a screenshot saved of my top run (7.08s). I recently decided to give this map a try and managed to get close to my record (7.12s) which was a great feeling Funny thing is that my muscle memory still remembered this map, after such a long time I still knew every single bit of it.
One last thing, when I first started playing I used to play for a while under an old nickname `Kubus. Soon after it was changed to `mdzdri (do not ask me why it changed so much, it's a very long story and a pretty stupid one but the name stayed).

Hi, I wish you all the best for finishing new maps! Good luck!

Thanks a lot!

PS: Edited my first post with a few more info about me if anyone's interested.

Hey, cool story!
What's your favorite novice map?
Have fun! In near future you will get into Brutal for sure :p

Welcome

This remember me long time ago xD, but at these times there was only cenarrius and artkis (i watched more Cenarrius) And it's not Cenarius xD it's Cenarrius.

Thanks! I do not have one favourite Novice map but among my favourites you'll find Skillz (1-5, I am actually ranked quite high on Skillz 5 which I am so proud of [rank 76] ), Absurds (recently completed every Absurd map, I think it was Absurd 5 the one I finished lately, like 2 weeks ago), Icebreaker, Goo and Blue Chaos. Thats a long list but these maps never get boring for me
I sure hope I'll get to Brutal! Working my way through Moderates now. Need to convince my friend to try Baby Aim 1.0 since he hates the beginning there. But I absolutely love it so maybe I'll do it with my dummy and give him the save just so he doesn't rage anymore.

Oh damn, I wasn't sure how his name was spelled so I spelled it the way I thought it was, need to change this in my original post

Where are you from?
btw. you forgot me in the list of people you look up to

If you want to improve yourself just keep playing it is not that hard to finish brutal maps

I'm a french guy living in Poland

I am really sorry but I haven't seen you play But it might be that I should look up to you too

I am playing as much as I possibly can atm. As soon as my friend comes online I'm gonna talk him into doing that sweet Baby Aim 1.0. Gonna be the hardest thing we ever tried but it should be fun.

So you speak french or polish?

I speak French and Polish (both at a native level) aswell as English (this one is obvious pretty much), some German (not too good but decent enough to talk or write a bit) and very basic Spanish (working on this one still).
