I have been playing on the server for months and being on the forum for a couple of days by now but somehow skipped my introduction. My name is Mike though I am used to respond to "butterfly" in what ever language you come up with. I am 30 years old and studied chemistry ~ but ended up in the physics department of my university. I studied in Cologne, Germany but have been moving around quite a bit lately.
I have been gaming for a while with a special interest in RPG´s (Neverwinter Nights), Action RPG´s (Gothic), Action Adventures (Deus Ex), Simulations (MS Flightsimulator, Falcon 4.0, Ship Simulator) and naturally a fair share of shooters. I have been with bf42 from the beginning and spend most of my time in the "Desert Combat" mod on a 24/7 El Al server of the DCBB Clan (now WCK). But after a short break in my gaming habits I came back to find the server gone! So after a time of wandering homeless I stumbled upon Pot Luck and couldn´t find a reason to move on ever since
Playing with you folk is always a privilege... and even if a 150 ping doesn´t help my score I still know that I am going to enjoy myself once I log in. And as far as I can tell you all have been able to cope with my suicidal tendencies and skilful tk once in while - I always felt welcome 
My hobbies beside gaming are almost everything about computers from assembling Hardware to "making Windows not annoy you" and being creative in Photoshop, InDesign and Co. And in the not virtual part of life travelling became my favourite activity. I lately focused on Asia having family and friends in several places there... still didn´t master my Chinese course though :S But I usually take every travel option I stumble upon and might end up in a place near you anytime haha if so - cold beer is on me
Alright:
introducing myself - checked
So what´s left to say ~ hope to see you all on the battlefield again soon! I keep on honing my skill level out of n00b territory and maybe one day have a shot on fragging you Gib ... just once. In the words of Donald Trump: You have to dream big
Warm greetings out of cold Germany!

p.S. thank you Shell for introducing BG42! It´s really a great mod and I can´t wait to see a few more maps on Monday. Though, some of the maps seem to use very high-res textures causing my frame rate to drop into the unplayable level ~ I dumped my desktop when I started moving and my laptop is a little rusty *sigh.... Anyhow, all those maps that I can play had been great ~ I love what they have done with the good old Guadalcanal! So much love for details...amazing
I am in a little bit of an dilemma when it comes to cars, though. My best friends all got into motor sports when the magic 18 came into reach. But I, influenced by my father back then, thought cars were boring and spend my time on the water or in the air instead ~ he owned a small boat and had a pilot license (mostly did gliders). Well the result is that I even find it challenging to parallel park
