Where Am I?

I've been crazy busy with school for a month or so, and I'm trying to keep focused on my duties on the Spectre, which are next to none right now. I guess I'll be making decisions on what to do with my SPc's soon, but I really don't want to kill them off. *sigh*....

Quotation of the Month

"Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained."
— William Blake

Acting on your best behavior, Turn your back on mother nature, Everybody wants to rule the world....

My name is Kevin Schram, but you can call me Schrammie, or any other variant of my last name. I'm one of the command officers here, I'm the friendly neighborhood first officer of the USS Spectre. My claim to fame is being only 17 years old and addicted to this wiki.

Contact Me!

I want to chat real-time: Oh? Is that so? In that case, I have Yahoo Messanger, MSN Messanger, AIM and ICQ for your IM'ing needs. Yahoo is Xboxguy15@sbcglobal.net. MSN is also xboxguy15@sbcglobal.net. AIM is... nope, CaptainKenobi15, and finally, the red-headed step child of IM clients, my ICQ number is 235515361.

I want to have an in-dept discussion with you, along with others: Well, you've come to the wrong person for in-dept discussions. Might I recommend my buddy Jeff for that? Anyway, I'm seen around the Star Trek Freedom chatroom with the names Schrammie, KevinSchram or once in a blue moon, Rogers_Spectre.

I want to talk to you about the Wiki: Hit up my Wiki user talk page, right here. (LINK)

I want to marry you: Ehhhh. What?

The History of Schrammie, Pre-Freedom

I was born a few 17 years ago, in Stepember 1989. My father also had an interest in computers, and there was always a computer in my house. I can remember being a scant four years old and watching my father program code on his Commodore 64 (which in 1993, was old-school). Soon, we got a new PC, with Windows 3.1. I played a game called Reader Rabbit, a educational game. I've always had an interest in learning. I love history, geography and science.

Soon enough, I out-grew Reader Rabbit and turned to real video games. My first REAL video game was an old VGA 16-bit PC game called Police Quest. Later I played Doom! A few years down the road I got turned onto RPG/Fantasy games. I guess you could call me a 'next-generation' role player. I never played Dungeons and Dragons, any tabletop board game, and I've never partook in LARP (even though it sounds like a hell of a night). Gosh, I've never even seen a 20-sided die in person but I have played tons and tons of computer RPG's.

The list of some of my favorite computerized RPG's I've played includes... Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Diablo, Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (woot! I'm getting Oblivion soon, looking forward too it!), Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Invisible War, Runescape, Fable, Fallout, Fallout 2, Pirates of the Carribean, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2. I also love racing games, action games, adventure game, sports games and FPS shooters.

Wow, what a mouthful. Anyway, I'm also a big sports fan. The sports I'm big into are hockey, auto racing, baseball and American football, but I'll watch any sport. I also love comic books and know alittle bit about computers </sarcasm>, but, most of all, I love writing.... and that led me to a little site called Star Trek: Freedom....

The History of Schrammie, Star Trek: Freedom

The Geneva Era

I joined Star Trek: Freedom in early March 2005. Katherine Mazurok was my instructor. For some reason, I wanted to be on Starbase Geneva. When I signed up, there was a small thing above the "Pick Your Positon" that said We need counselors! or something like that. I signed up as a counselor, which was stupid, but in the long run, it may have helpped me.

I didn't graduate in the Academy in one post or only two days like some of my ST:F comrades, but I graduated in less than a week. Not bad, me thinks. Sure enough, because I was the only fool stupid enough to pick counselor has my position, I was sent to Starbase Geneva, where Katherine was also my CO. Soon, she disappeared from the game due to RL problems, which was a shame beacuse she was a good poster and a good CO. Anyway, I met my first friend in Freedom, Jeff who was technically the FO of Geneva at the time.

Now, as a cadet, I had some embarrasing parts of my back story. My cadet came from a 'famous' Starfleet military family and he was afraid of shuttlecraft. I know, dumb. I also hit on Stacey's character, much to my embarssement. I clashed both in and out of character with a guy named Dan, who played a ATAC/ASC named Dorrin Klars. We both joined about the same time, and his character was super powered, which I resented, and everybody loved Rogers, which he resented (ok, maybe I made the love part up, but there was some tension between us).

It wasn't long after that Jeff made me ACTING THIRD OFFICER OF STARBASE GENEVA! Impressive, I know. Basically, I did compiles. I wasn't even on the command list. I had/have an obession with the command mailing list. I don't know why, now cue ahead to when I'm on the command list, and I'm afraid to send an e-mail to the damn thing because I'm afraid that I'll make a fool of myself. I mean, that list is like a hotline to every head of state in the world, and I'm like the Vice President of Spectreistan and I don't want to say something dumb on the hotline, what will the presidents and prime ministers think?

Anyway, where was I, oh yes. A3O of Geneva. Well, about this time, Geneva was getting 80 posts a month, which I thought was a big deal. Times were good. Then Jeff left, leaving me in charge of Geneva. I wasn't really in charge, technically Jeff set me up on a simple plot to follow, but I did it. I really was nervous I did a bad job because one compile was late by like three days one time. Anyway I thought I had embarrased myself in front of everybody on Geneva, and I thought about quitting them game, then Alan Reading (who at the time was the Minister of State for Paladinistan) said to me "You don't get mad at a Pint because it won't hold a quart" or some other British-ism. Anyway, that jumpstarted my interest in posting, and I was off to the proverbial races.

The Bodicca Era

Then, something terribly unexpected happened. The Geneva crew was sent off to the USS Boudicca, and even worse for my self esteem, with Jeff filling the only gap in the Boudicca's command crew, I would be demoted from 3O to nothing. Well, still counselor, but that was moot. I was terribly bummed out and thought about leaving again, but I imagined myself in a boat with the rest of the Geneva gang, including my friend Jeff. Then Jeff jumps ship and goes to the Nimitz to be with HIS friend Al. So much for that. Well, I guess I really couldn't blame him, but I stuck with the Boudicca.

Fast forward a few months to March 2006. After being in the game a year, being promoted up to Lieutenat (Junior Grade) I felt like I was going no where. My posting on the Boudicca had been sub-par and I had barely been making my posting requirements. I didn't even read half the posts and I felt like I was just going through the paces. I thought to myself, Why am I here? What the HELL am I wasting my time on this game?. Call me selfish, but after tasting command on Geneva, I felt like I wasn't being used to my full potental has counselor on the Boudicca. Combine that with not having an active role in the Boudicca's mission.

One night, I broke down and basically told that last paragraph to Alan Reading (who now was FO of the Spectre, or Deputy Prime Minister of the Spectreistan) and another player who is no longer in the game. A few days later, our beloved Fleet CO, Jeremy contacted me and asked me if I would like to be the FO of the Spectre, under Mr. Reading.

Now, I was euphoric that anybody even recongized that I was still in the game. I thought I was doomed to end up Lt. Commander Brian Rogers, Counselor of the Boudicca, that guy that had been around forever but no body really knew him and he was kinda talented but not enough to get into command oh yeah wasn't he like real young when he first joined oh yeah him. I probably should of thought about it, but I said yes, and I was off to Spectreistan.

The Spectre Era

I won't lie and say everything was peachy. First, the players on the Spectre had habits that I really wasn't used to, and that kind of annoyed me a bit. I thought about quitting again, but I stuck with it. Now I'm settling into place, and I'm in for the 'long haul' of being the first officer, of the USS Spectre.

So, some good times, and some bad. But in the end.... ummm... thats the story of my ST:F career. I've been here for 1 year and 4 months, and I don't play to let up any time soon.

I suppose this is where I list all the people I like in Freedom so they feel special for being mentioned. Well, my 'friends' (as far has Internet friends can go) from Freedom would have to be Jeff, Alan, Will Banowsky and a player who is gone, George.

People who I've interacted with a small bit, but think are funny/smart/great/friendly/awesome/cool/respectable are, Jeremy, Anthony, Al, Stacey, Sondra, Gavin, Robbie, Patrick, Liz, Jono, Greg, Spencer and James, but I'm sure forgetting a few.

The Silent Era

This is where we go to die.

Yeah, I've been really busy, and ignoring the Spectre. Anyway, updates coming here. Watch this space.
