faceless123: Can you pay my bills?
AKAbolony: I can pay for your medicine. lol
Fargo: How did you get into ZH? Was it through Domi's YouTube channel? If so, how did you end up there?
AKAbolony: I got there because of my son who told me that ZH was still alive, I started to watch YouTube channels, like Jundiyy, CNCHD, Boycah and Dominator, all streams I knew about. And then it just went you know.
BoYcaH0: What made you decide to sponsor events and how has Zero Hour changed for you since becoming active in community events?
AKAbolony: In the beginning I was lacking amusement, like there was not many games on top level (of what I knew) which I wanted to watch. Then I discovered the whole community behind it and started to understand how it works and here I am. 😊 You and Leikeze helped me with it if you can remember.
xezon: Do you play Zero Hour or do you just watch events?
Do you also watch events that are not backed with money from the AKA vault?
AKAbolony: I play just a bit. Just for fun. I am a bad loser and I don’t have time to do it properly like I'm used to do with things. I wish I could play more but it is not possible for me at the moment. I watch as much ZH as possible, not only the evemts sponsored by me.
-HerB-: Can I have 1 million dollars?
AKAbolony: My wife would be unhappy if I did so.
-HerB-: Serious question: can I have 2 million dollars?
AKAbolony: My mistress would be unhappy as well then.
MrX: What is the biggest dream in your own life?
AKAbolony: That my wife and my mistress will never meet. Joking here. I do not know to be honest. Maybe just to have a good life and be a good person. I think it would be enough.
Hsn`Leb: What do you think about the Zero Hour game?
Do you like and sponsor other games?
What made you love this game?
AKAbolony: I love ZH. It is an amazing game if you ask me. I do not sponsor other games at all. I like ZH because of its balance between macro and micro. And it looks good as well. It is just so playable and fun.
ReLaX: 1.How can you spend so much money?
2.Which matchup do you like the most in streams?
3.Can you put some money on the line to support 1.04plus?
4.What are your hobbies?
5.Which member of the ZH community you like apart from the skill?
AKAbolony: 1.I stopped eating and drinking. ZH gives me everything. I am ok with the money and people use money on things they like. I like ZH.
2.I like air mirrors the most I think. It is so intense many times. But I think I like all matchups. Especially when all top players play you never know the outcome. This is what it makes this game so special.
3.I did it before, so yes.
4.My hobbies are sports, books and when I have time heavy drinking and partying. And ZERO HOUR.
5.Hmm, I like many guys. I like guys from GameReplays, my fellow staffers. I have private contact with some players and streamers as well. We get around pretty well. They know who they are
Dense: 1.Would you like to see anything special this/next year? Something like a new event or multi challenge or different type of tournament for instance?
2.What is your biggest personal drive to sponsor so many challenges and events?
3.What do you miss most in Zero Hour that currently is not there (can be anything really)?
AKAbolony: 1.I would like to have a sponsors tournament, to see who is the king. 😊
2.Now, it is not my amusement anymore. I love to see how we get better as a community. Many tournaments and challenges, CW makes it much better.
3.I really don’t know.
fastAiR: Did you play ZH when you were younger or did you only discover it in recent years through YouTube or something?
AKAbolony: I was smoking weed and playing ZH with my friends. A lot of weed and ZH. 😊 It was back in 2004 I think, can't really remember lol. Then I was doing other stuff and discovered it again like in 2017 in think.
Luvaskot: First of all, thank you for all of your support AKAbolony, without you Zero Hour section wouldn't be active as much.
1.Are you playing any other RTS games except Zero Hour? Have you ever tried other C&C games?
2.Would you sponsor a random reverse event where two Zero Hour experts challenge each other on C&C3: Tiberium Wars (another RTS game with very similar mechanics compared to Zero Hour)? Preferably Excal vs Dackel since both were decent C&C3 players back then when game was active.
AKAbolony: 1.I played them all. Red Alert – a lot. I don’t play any other games besides Civilization V and X com (just randomly).
2.Sure, I could make an exception. Could be fun.
Percocet: Thank you for your support for ZH! Can you pay my college loans?
AKAbolony: If you study logistics them maybe I can. 😊
Mp3: Right of the bat, I'd like thank you for pumping up the heart of ZH with each and every donation you make. Without you sponsoring CW this month, I would have never, in my life, played so many games with so many people. Much appreciation!
What's your set up for the game?
AKAbolony: My setup is icore 7 and 960m graphics, nothing special.
Dudush: 1.Who are your favorite top 3 players and why?
2. What has surprised you the most in the ZH community? Interesting tournaments, challenges, people or anything else?
3. Fun question. You can choose only one answer (for a one-year-period):
(1) You can watch unlimited streams but can't play ZH;
(2) You can watch one livestream per month with actual people next to you and some viewers but can't watch any other livestreams?
(3) You can watch unlimited streams & play ZH but you won't be allowed to watch any movies or films.
AKAbolony: 1.Hmm, it is a tough question. I can't answer it I think. I like all top players because it is so difficult to become one. There is one thing I like though – BoYcaH vs Fargo is always fun to watch haha. And I like that Excal made doser hunt legitim. You wanna be the best, watch your doser bitch. 😊 But do not consider my answer as an answer to your question.
2.I was surprised about all those issues between different people. It was kind of disappointing sometimes. We could have had many more GGs if it wasn’t like this. But now it is much better than it was I think.
3.Nr. (3) is a winner.
`ReNgO^: 1.Why sponsor games that you don't even see live?
2.Sponsor Excal vs Rengo?
AKAbolony: 1.Well Rengo, I can’t watch unlimited streams because of real life things. Many times I can’t make it on time, sometimes I forget and most important is that I make events for everyone, not only me.
2.What handicap you expect to get? So you have a chance. I am not joking here. Maybe like 1 min where Excal is not moving dosers? 😊
yamiyami: Why don't you play in your tourney or in 1v1s?
AKAbolony: I will play in a sponsors tournament. 😊
-Nickname:
1.What kind of education did you have? What is your job? Did you always want to do this? If not, what job did you want?
2.Do you have a family (girlfriend/wife, children, pets)?
3.What other games do/did you like and/or play?
4.Why don't you play ZH yourself (or not that often)?
5.What is your favorite army and matchup?
6.Do you have plans for hosting/creating a tournament of your own (for example, you come up with some sort of format)?
7.Are there challenges/tournaments you would like to see?
8.And the most important question: Can you give Herb a million dollars?
AKAbolony: 1.I studied logistics and got a paper on it. 😊 I wanted to be a rap superstar but I am white and Eminem wasn’t there yet, so I didn’t do that. Risk of being shot was to high (I can’t rap).
2.I have a wife (third, no shit), son, daughter and a dog.
3.I play Civilization V, X com and that is it. Not any more to be honest.
4.Lack of time I think.
5.Right now it is Air Mirror.
6.I am thinking of Sponsors Tournament.
7.I would like to have an ultimate Round Robin for like top 7-9 players. With a big prize. Like at least 1.000 USD. But participants would need to put like 100 USD of their own money, so they don’t dodge/leave tournament. Money back when tournament is over.
8.Already answered.
[OoE]ExCaL^: Firstly going to echo what others have said here and say thank you for bringing life and excitement to Zero Hour. When I returned, I was truly suprised how active the game was.
1.How did you come to love Zero Hour so much and is it something you talk about with your friends?
2.Any tips for finding the right work, life and relaxation balance?
3.One question from my wife - hvad synes din hustru om ZH og maengden af tid, du bruger paa det? Translate: what does your wife think about Zero Hour and how much time you spend on it?
AKAbolony: 1.I talk with my son and ZH friends about it.
2.I think I need some myself. I think that it can be challenging to find a balance in general. You should to observe your surroundings and find balance yourself. That is the right way I think.
3.She thinks that I am a big child. She can’t get it that I like this game.
HeRσ: Who is the one person from the ZH community you would like to meet in real life and hang out with?
AKAbolony: I met some guys already. I would like to meet many guys. I think we should make like a big gathering at some point.
[OoE]ExCaL^: Passing on a question from a friend (Fargo) - any dating tips and relationship advice?
AKAbolony: Life is brutal lol.
hyd`BeXAez: Do you have any other previous nick names? Have you played Zero Hour before?
AKAbolony: I've played it like when it came out back in 2000s. I always used bolony as nickname.
GameReplays: AKAbolony, on our behalf and on behalf of the entire ZH community, thanks for your time and this thorough interview.
AKAbolony: Thank you all!
