Neil Down.

I can help settle this. His name is Neil.

I just argued with Jen for 5 minutes what your name is. I kept insisting it was just Philthy. Please donate to my memory fund on patreon.

Bless you, JC. You know how to put a spin on *anything*. :D

Phil, the one player you can be sure will [almost] always have your back in Insurgency.

Playing ambush on the Insurgency can be a nervy experience (Ambush: Where one player is randomly assigned as the VIP, needing to get to point A or B on the map without being killed), but those nerves soon disappear when the reassuring voice of Phil booms over mic, "Don’t worry JC, you ruggedly handsome, charismatic son of a gun, I'm here! Just stay with me, do what I do and follow my lead".

Seeing the rock steady movements of Phil taking the lead soon eases the tension you felt and as the round progresses, it invariably ends up with only the two of you alive... a duo against [sometimes] an entire enemy team... a duo who will go down fighting together… and that’s ok, because you're with Phil 'The Destroyer', a maestro at strategic planning and he will never abandon you!

(continued in next post due to a 1000 character constraint)

… the round continues until there are only 2 minutes left, and you note that Phil hasn’t moved for a while, but that’s ok, because you’re confident this is a cunning Phil plan to win... a plan devised through years of playing online shooters... a plan only a veteran could know... so you relax, waiting for that winning move or comment from Phil...

... and then it happens 45 seconds later... words from Phil which changes everything.. "sorry JC, I have to go, bye"... *ThePhilthyOne has disconnected from the server* ....

Switching to ‘plan B’ you start rushing towards A or B as though you have irritable bowel syndrome, all the while repeating words similar to “CLUCKING BELL” to yourself over and over.


:) Kidding aside, Phil is a great player and will back you up no matter what decision you make (quite often the wrong one in my case), and doesn’t judge you for it… what more could you ask for? Thanks Phil :)
