The PortuSwiz mole, Toup!
Interview by: davies


Finally, after having to wait for a long time a new interview has arrived. I wanted to interview another regular this time, but one I didn't know very well yet. Soon I caught up with Toup# on the servers and he agreed on an interview. It took me a while to put it together (due to personal life) but finally, here it is. Sit back, put your reading-glasses on and have fun whilst reading the interview with Toup!

So Toup, let's start off with some ET-related stuff:


Your nickname is Toup, previously Toupeairo. It doesn't sound really Swiss, where does the name come from?

Easy one, when I was younger, around 3-4 years old I imagine, my parents called me "mole" (translated to toupeira in Portuguese) because I kept going under their covers hiding. My first nickname was Toupeirao, which came from toupeira. I then decided to erase the "eirao" to make it a little more catchy and easy to remember.


So, what is favourite ET-class + weapon and why?

I'd say covert ops with a Sten when allies. FG42 when axis. I just like messing around with people's heads. As a covert ops you just have so many possibilities and you can actually help with the objective. I love killing with the satchel charge and stabbing people ^^


Do you have any favourite maps?

There are so many... but I really enjoy a good match in Eagles 2 Ways!


I must say, you sound like a sneaky little guy :> ! What do you dislike whilst playing ET, or what is a big annoyance to you?

People who ruin the game and fun just for the hell of it. I also find people who can actually be good with the flamethrower a pain the butt :p


When did you actually start playing ET and on the PS Servers?

Hard to remember but I started playing ET around 2005 I reckon, and on PS servers in 2006.


How do you see the future, for Enemy Territory as a game?

This one is tricky, every game eventually dies and the community loses interest in it. Of course, I don't see new players starting to play ET but there will always be a certain group of people who will meet up and play a few games. If you ask me about the future of PS as a community, I say it has a lot of potential. Until now, I say it has done a good job. Not many games stay hot for 10 years, do they?



Now looking at your personal life:

What is your real name?


João


And what is your age?

16 years


Does João have any favourite kind of food?

Francesinha, Portuguese special :>


And what do you want to drink with this lovely dinner?

Just a coke... We don't want to get in trouble do we? ^^


Do you have any pets or animals living in/around your property (except Toup the mole of course)?

Not at the moment unfortunately, I did use to have a Doberman before I moved, but since then, no pets :>


I heard you are a student, what do you study?

I have to concentrate on French, I guess, other than that, your usual high school courses.


And what do you like besides going to college?

I'm a big football fan and I play it, other than that, I like running after a day of school.


You're originally Portuguese, but you now live in Switzerland, what do you miss the most about Portugal?

The beach, the friends and the weather. But you have to move on, I guess :>


On the other side, there must also be good things in Switzerland that weren't there in Portugal, are there?

Of course, lots o' chocolate and snow. But it's a totally different country so it's hard to pick good things and bad things. I'm still finding out more about it every day. Not been here long enough yet ^^


Okay Toup, with that we shall finish the interview, thanks for answering all my questions. Anything left you want to say? :>

Thanks for making ET awesome to play. The best part about it is the community :D
