A new week brings with it a new coveted member who will forever bathe in the sunlight provided only by the "MotW" namesake. To bask in a glory unlike any other, a legend that will forever be told until there is no one left to tell such grand stories of these select individuals that stand tall above the rest.
The flavor of the week has quickly become "What does your name" and this week's inductee's name doesn't mean what you would otherwise think it does. In fact, the reality is probably something you'd never expect in a couple thousand lifetimes – and if you were to spend a couple thousand lifetimes attempting to find the meaning behind a name, please, for the love of god, make better use of your time. Welcome G.T.Ace to the Member of Whenever T-12 Feels Like It madhouse!
1.You're officially among the ranks and are now the Member of the Week, so what were your thoughts going into this and how does it feel to be recognized among the hundreds of thousands of other members here?
I was confused, because I didn't feel like I did something to deserve a special mention. I feel kinda honoured, because it means I must've made some small impact on this site and being recognized is always great.
2. How long have you been a member here at GTPlanet and what is it that keeps you returning on a daily basis?
I'm a member since March 2008. I like to return here so often, because of the friendly and grown up community (compared to other forums
). GTP feels much more mature than most places on the web. Its topics also cover a lot of my favourite hobbies, like cars, motorsports and of course, Gran Turismo.
3. If you could recommend any one thread on the entirety of our forum, what would it be?
That's a tough one, because there's a good topic for many, very different things.
I guess the 'Do You Believe in God?' thread is one of my favourites, because I feel confirmed there in many things.
4. What's one thing you'd like to see changed about the Member of the Week presentation? Don't be shy...
Heh, aside from the obviously not 100% correct name...
Nah, I like the way it's handled.
5. How did you come up with the name "G.T.Ace"?
A lot of people think I chose it because I think I'm good in Gran Turismo, but the truth is a bit different.
My nickname was Ace in PS1 times because of the game 'Wing Over' (it was the name of the main character), I didn't even know what it means in English. When I needed a name for online gaming on the PS2, I added the GT, because "Ace" was too short and generic. I just kinda combined two game franchises which were important to me.
6. When you hear the word "community" what comes to mind??
People who like similar things and pursue the same goal, in a friendly and peaceful manner.
7. When it comes right down to it, do you prefer Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport, or are you obligated to neither?
I never owned an Xbox and Gran Turismo is my number one favourite franchise. Forza is great though and I think both franchises can coexist perfectly, especially as first party software.
8. What's the one thing, that one feature from GTPlanet's past incarnations that you miss the most and would love to see brought back?
There's nothing I miss, I think GTP evolved to something better with each change.
9. You've just been banned. What don't you do?
Create another account to complain. If I managed to get banned here, I deserved it.
10. What would your reaction be if I told you GTPlanet was moving away from solely focusing on Gran Turismo?
I would ask you, why you tell me something rather obvious that's happening since years.
11. If you had to prepare a speech for this most special occasion what would you say?
Dear GTPlanet community, I am honoured and overwhelmed, to be the new Member Of The Week. I don't think I deserve it more than most other people here.
Being a part of this community makes me proud, not only because it's a piece of the huge puzzle of Gran Turismo's history, but also because it consists of many respectable and diverse people. Thank you so much for this and please stay this way in the future.
12. Where do you see GTPlanet going in the next two years?
I think it will explode, once the first GT on the PlayStation 4 arrives.
Hopefully, Jordan can benefit from the whole craze.
But it's probably the old chatroom I remember @dice1998 from most. You chilled in that a few times I think, @Terronium-12 ? Right?
