This interview comes with the vastly improving ore map fiend, PeterSky. Peter is a relatively new player on CnCNet but he has quickly risen through the ranks at an alarming pace. He is definitely one of the best players on the map "Liquid" at this juncture. It is my hope that he (and his clan mates) follow Superwario and join the Ladder in 2021. My dream is for a massive ladder player pool with constant regular competition. This interview is perhaps the most detailed and in-depth one yet, I greatly appreciate the time Peter has taken on this [answers in bold]:
1) Tell us a little about yourself
Hi
im Peter, I studied modern art. I earn my money with a PR job in an art
gallery. In my free time i hang out with my girl, my dog and I love to
play ra1.
2. Why ra1 and which other games do you play online?
In the mid 90ies as an 8 year old kid I watched my big brother play campaign mode ra1. He allowed me to play a few times. When I found out about cncnet in Summer 2018 I immediately fell in love again with this game and started as a total noob. I never saw the need to make a remastered ra1. This game is perfect as it is. I even love the south advantage and the ore truck behaviour. I don’t play other games
3. Who’s your biggest rival?
SuperWario, he is my friend but he loves to beat me and I celebrate every win against him.
Since day one, there has always been a good balance between our levels until today.
NOOB WARIO JOIN MY ROOM, I AM WAITING ON PATH BEYOND BOTTOM RIGHT
4. Who you consider to be your best friends on ra1?
I really like all my [1]clan mates a lot. Besides that, I would mention guys like [BAT]miko, [McLovin-TA], [TB]-blitz, ORA-Jacob, cousinclaus, cousinbeppo, bakenast and Bart
(Apologies to everybody i maybe forgot!)
5. What is your favourite map and why?
for 1v1 it is path beyond
for 2v2 it is a bunch of different NastyNate ore and gems maps like for example crabs
and for 3v3 it is liquid.
4v4 is always shit except maybe jail break
6. What is your most memorable game?

In that time we (bandb, me and hera) were absolute noobs. Even though we had NastyNate on our team. We started from the right side (which is always a burden) and played against team impossible on Liquid.
Our
opponents were: McLovin, Redalert1, Comm[A]nder and |NC|Shadow. We
surprised them with a harmful rush and our next attack waves brought
them to heavens gate. That was amazing! Maybe the only game in history
when McLovin and Redalert1 teamed up on Liquid and lost a game together.
7. Tell us a little about the history of [e] clan and [1] clan.
The [e] Clan was naturally grown together. d[e]mon867, h[e]ra and me were the founders. We had invitations from other clans, but we preferred to create something new. The special thing about [e]clan was that we all were bloody newcomers,that became very quick serious opponents in Pro games.

This clan really had some beautiful times. (shoutouts to every former [e]clan member!) Soon some ra1 superheroes joined our clan like the Number one player beast, butcher the arena G.O.A.T. and the notorious ribbon legend stacks. After one year it broke. No matter which former member you ask you will hear different reasons for the end of this clan. My main reason for leaving this clan at the end were some growing disagreements with the other founder d[e]mon.
Members were:
b[e]ast, butch[e]r, d[e]mon, [e]ule, h[e]ra, m[e]gajimm, p[e]tersky ,stacks[e]rs, sup[e]rwario and warbring[e]r
After that i played clanless for 6 months or so. In that time i had many games with guys like Dr4g0N_S4N, Uchiha_San and AzN-Loopy SuperWario asked me once a week to create a new clan and at the same time Loopy convinced me to create a new clan aswell. Dr4g0N_S4N called me as a joke sometimes Peter_S4N. I realised that we had a good basis for a new fresh crew with high potential.
The most of the time i enjoyed to be an [e] member but i feel much more comfortable with the [1] Crew to be honest.
The level of gameplay is very high and the gap between the good and the very good [1] players is very small. Our crew is full of well educated well behaved guys. When you beat one of us, we will not complain, cry, blame partner, blame lag and trash talk for 1 hour on the main lobby. But maybe we will just beat you. [1] aka the unit.

8. Who is your favourite ra1 Streamer/Youtube?
defo NastyBeast, he’s a brilliant player. I would appreciate to see him streaming more often again
HoHE! HoHE! HoHE !
9. Which changes would you like to see made to cncnet
CnCnet needs a Clan ladder, this possibility would bring a huge impulse to the community and could be a chance to save our community from eclipse. Also we need a factual ranking system for every player, not just the ranked matches. I mean score statistics of every game.
10. Any final comments?
- Crushyboo I appreciate your work with this blog, even though you´re a controversial author. You already posted some pretty good uploads.
- Cheating on cncnet is just a huge embarrassment.
- Be nice to each other and save this community from going down if you really love this game.
