Name: czm
Real Name: Paul Nelson
Birthday: August 2nd
Background: czm
was an active member of the Quakeworld community for a while
in clan r3v, but for some length of time played neither game
seriously. He first became known in the Q3 community when some
demos of his pickup games were shown at a LAN, at which point
he became "known" through word-of-mouth. He played a
lot on teamplay.net servers.

Questions
1: What gamer besides yourself do you feel comes to
mind as one of the most respected gamers? This would be
someone who you felt is respected not only for his gaming
skills but for his/her attitude.
Answer:
That's hard to decide. There are so many respected
gamers around. I respect all of my teammates for their
attitude/skill, and respect most members of other competitive
teams as well, but to be honest. There is no particular gamer
that comes to mind as being one of the most respected.
Questions
2: In what way do you feel the Quake community has
changed since Quake III Arena came out last year?
Answer:
Much higher level of competition, many more players, and more
frequent competitions. Other than that, it's basically the
same as it was about a year ago.
Questions
3: Have you had a chance to check the Team Arena
Demo yet? If so, what do you enjoy the most about it?
Answer:
I like
the way the new game-types play - one flag CTF, overload, and
the headhunters-esque mod are all fun to play. The rune
system and the new UI are very nice as well. However, I
don't like the modifications to the way the game itself runs,
such as the new physics, splash damage through walls, etc.
Questions
4: With id Software's new project being focused on
Doom, is there any features you would like this upcoming game
to include?
Answer:
A good multi-player aspect would be appreciated,
considering the community will automatically look to Doom 3 as
the next competitive FPS platform. Strong 1v1 and pure
team DM aspects would be near the top of my wish-list, right
below better net-code (none of this "50ms delay so that
things look smoother" stuff).
- Anonymous:
People impersonate Fatality and other ck clan members
all the time on servers and tend to not express themselves
too politely. From what I have seen, czm is one of the
guys that are impersonated all the time. But when it comes
down to it, cK-czm never plays as that nick name on any
servers. So if you see someone using it, it's not him. I
guess what it boils down to, there are fake cK's on Clan
Arena and Rocket Arena 3 servers all the time.
