Shvonce aka Ko7a! Not new, but returning..

[Shvonce]

If you know me already, sup. If you don't know me, my sn is Ko7a, I'm a timing player for the most part, and love the game. I got bored and typed out my life story concerning SM/ITG.

[yawn]
DDR since 1999, SM since 2002, FFR since 2003/2004, and SMO since late 2005. Early on I didn't have a computer and played SM at a friend's house that lived next door to my grandparents, I played more DDR than early ass builds of SM, I sucked at both. No poopy computer until early 2003, some Windows 95 I got for free from an acquaintance, I worked with my dad in construction during some weekends and most summers from ages 8-19, so somewhere in late 2003 I saved up for a custom built PC and got hooked.

SM and Gunzonline were free, and they were my bread and butter. I played SM sometimes but mostly FFR, then one day in late 2005 someone mentioned Charles Lohr's SMO 3.95 and switched over (sorry FFR). These were the days when n1tr0glyc3r1n (an OG oITG developer), and some other SMO admin (friend/partner of Lohr's, whose name I cannot remember) still played their game online with people. It's was DDR crap, ITG 1 & 2, and KBMP back then. KBMP files were like... Vertex BETA vROFL to me when I first started.

SMO was fun af then, Izzy wasn't known, but quickly hated in the forums. jesushatesyou was a God for a while, Bluemystic, Izzy, other people that don't play anymore... Good times, man. I kept playing religiously until about 2009, then got my first serious girlfriend and fell out of it. Noon, Lecka, JazzyJ, and Lebowski were in a clan [rofl] called Stepmania Adventure Friends [SFAT] for a year or whatever.

I didn't live near any ITG machines and was stuck playing an Extreme that was a 20 minute drive from me, getting my parents to take me was like pulling teeth. I wanted to play ITG, all I could do was watch Youtube videos of godly players like Bluemystic, Kevbo, Dukamok, Lil Q, and later on Calimist.

Between early 2010 and 2014 I played SM off and on, a couple months on, 3-6 months off. I remember Staiain on SMO when he was terrible lol. Everytime we played he would always push himself on songs he could barely pass, never really pushed himself for MA. Later on, maybe a year and a half after a long ass break of mine he beat me on js shit consistently. I never had speed, the best I have ever been able to do is AAA Vortex w/60p or something like that. I lost my CRT and fell out of it almost entirely because I absolutely HATE LCD screen gameplay.

I moved from California to Ohio to slim up for the USAF and move in with a good friend of mine stationed at Wright Patt AFB. He bought a house and told me I could live there rent free, but then changed his mind on wanting rent after I bought the plane tickets. So I moved to Ohio, not knowing it's the butt crack of America. July 2014 I got my dedicab on Craigslist, I had been periodically searching for one all over America when Craigslist ad grabbers were still a thing (they didn't go through Google like today). Three to five times a week I would spend an hour a day just looking for keywords, until finally a broken one came up for $900 in Missouri, six hours away. I had only $450-500, so my old best friend helped with the rest (cover the rest, U-haul & gas). I paid him back with $350 interest as thanks, fixed the broken ass machine and got good at the game.

I was still playing SM off and on while I played ITG religiously, I got thin for once in my life, then fast forward to May 2014 when I got my third serious girlfriend. /SMcareer

Well we broke up last December and only recently did I decide to start playing again. I upgraded a spare computer's graphics card to one better than the one in my main PC (GTX 470 vs GTS 250 lmao), hooked the thing up to my gaming monitor that I used for Halo (BenQ XL2430T, 144hz 0ms input lag), took all day yesterday messing with it, and now it's the best SM setup I've had since I started playing the game.

Seriously, it's gorgeous and I want to have other SM players play the thing lol. Detrimentalist lives 3 hours away and we chill sometimes, he might come play someday.
[/yawn]

Well that's it, that's my history, I'm back in black. I've seen a lot of players over the years, today's players are obscenely good at the game and I'm scared to see what the future holds. You might catch me in SMO sometime if you play, but you most likely won't catch me playing FFR unless I get ridiculously good at SM again lol

Shvonce was the first sn I made for SMO, before that it was trainlovurone on FFR (but no one knew what it meant). I heard someone tell me that shvonce means 'oral sex' in German, but years later I found out that it's pronounced closer to 'shvantz,' (with a soft A) and refers to a man's private parts. If you've ever seen Kickass, Jim Carrey's character Colonel Stars and Stripes says, "SHVANTZ!" Well his dog, Eisenhower, bite's the bad guy's crotch. I knew what it really meant way before that movie, but when I saw that part it confirmed it. You gotta realize that the Internet had a loooooooooooooot less information in the early 2000's lmao (I tried researching 'shvonce' before I made it, but didn't find anything outside of oral sex).

After I found out what the word really meant, it kind of took on a new meaning. No one knew what it meant, but it secretly literally meant dick, and I knew. Well, if you know me irl, then you'll know that I can be a dick if you rub me the wrong way, so I kept it and still use it to this day because it's a lot deeper than I ever thought it would become.

I didn't think I was a dick growing up, it wasn't until ~23/24 that I started accepting the fact that I'm a dick irl. I tried changing, but I would always be a dick one way or another, so I just started accepting my dickishness, embracing it. All of that goes right in line, pretty much side by side with the sn 'Shvonce' itself, and my interpretation of the word. I seem like anyone else until you find out I'm actually a dick, then you hate me, then you realize I'm actually a cool fucker that's a respecting, great friend, and doesn't lie/cheat/steal lmfao*mind blown*

That's the history on that sn, I hope no one finds this post lol

As for Ko7a, my name's Dakota irl and my dad always called me 'Kota' growing up. Well, late 90's, early 2000's, there was a lot of 1337speak, typing with numbers in place of letters. I still like 1337speak and use it in my various account passwords. ANYHOW! That's why the T's a '7'. Everyone fucking calls me 'Koza' when they first say it, filthy plebs.

Around the time people started over-using 'greatest of all time,' I modified it to Goa7a on XBL. I still have the account and a lot of people know me strictly by that tag.

Then I modified it again to 'The Ko7a,' because it's a play on words, making my irl name seem like slang compared to my screen name. I'm so edgy.

jk tho, I saw your comment on that post of a screenshot of something I said about a finder's fee on dedicabs a couple years ago, thanks for defending me. I literally deleted that thread two minutes after I posted it, but that's all it took. The ITG community, or any gaming community for that matter, is fucking pure terminal cancer.
