Pellets slam into the wall above your head, and chips of concrete rain down on your helmet, as you feverishly wrench your sentry gun up to level 2.

The menace closes in, shotgun flashing, peeling your armor, tiny balls of steel start tearing your flesh. You prime an emp to face the threat, who is running full tilt towards your position, zig zagging to confuse your sentry guns targeting system.

Your enemy is fearless, cocking his shotgun and pulling the trigger to release the stinging projectiles that are eating away at your resolve, eating away at your courage, until there is only one thing left to do... fight to the death.

You grit your teeth, drop your wrench and start dancing. It becomes a dance of death with shotguns. And groggy greg is the master of the shotgun dance. His fast speed allows him to manouever around you, peeling your armor and health away quickly.

Suddenly a grenade drops at your feet, and you try to jump away, but then your body is only a cloud of gibs splayed across the floor and the nearest wall. With a triumphant "ha ha", groggy greg limps his way to your flag, and grabs it.

A flagrunner by nature, groggy greg consistently outperforms many other medics. His skill at zig-zagging out of harms way, engaging the enemy with his shotgun, and his demonstrated ability to capture the flag has earned him the respect of his peers, and the hatred of his enemy.

And through it all, the Shotgun Medic is modest about it all.

"In case you havent noticed I'm very insecure about my skill. So how would you rate my skill at TFC on a scale of 1 to 10? 10 = being God-like and 1 = being a n00b that deserves to be banned"

The Shotgun Medic is constantly on the top of the score chart with a combination of kills and flag captures. On most maps, he will be found behind enemy lines, taking out enemy sentry gun installations, muddling up the enemy defense, and upsetting everyone with nades and concussion blasts. Once spotted, it is easy for him to disappear if you lose a line of sight on him. He is devious, tactful, and knows every hiding space and corner he can duck into in a pinch.

If wounded, he will hide in a dark corner of your base and heal himself, all the while taking note of your defensive positions, creating a plan of escape with your flag.

The alarm sounds. A medic has grabbed your flag. You try to respond. But you are dizzy from the concussion grenade. You cannot follow. His image, running away, is blurred. Somehow you must stop him. But it's too late. Much too late. He is gone. You have failed. And now a grenade, primed and lobbed at you with perfect precision ends it all...

After moving to California, -=TnD=- groggy greg joined the TnD clan at the encouragement of his friend, -=TnD=- whyme. more

Groggy had tired of playing single-player Half-Life. He had mastered each mod released by Valve, claiming to have defeated each level using non-standard weapons, such as the shotgun and the crowbar.

He came to the MIS server after having tired of the regular grav servers, and enjoy the new possibilities and strategies afforded by low gravity. Ever since, he has been a regular player.

After friend whyme left the clan, groggy shortly followed, not having bonded with the other members that, at the time, he did not know. He did return with whyme, however, and has since become an active and contributing member to his clan.

Outspoken and popular amongst his peers and fellow TFC players, you can find on either MIS or his clan server -=TnD=- OpenServer.

on the sniper class
"Snipers are annoying because all they do is sit there and rack up kills and give you deaths but your usually barely outta the base so its not like there even stopping you"
"It (sniping) does involve skill. I cant snipe worth a shit."
"Theres nothing wrong with sniping in a regular game but dont expect me to be happy about getting sniped constantly forcing me swerve around like a retard..."

on the Pagans ( an upcoming feature ) and the HW class
"If you dont know why they're not fair and suck your just dumb"
"I'm always giving them AIDS and blowing them to shit with nades they're crap.."

on defending the -=TnD=- clan
"Don't yell at luc (-=TnD Lucrezia! ) like that you big fat cock sucker!"

on Good vs. Evil
"Good and Evil are too much alike for me to care which succeeds. That which gets carried out in the name of beings of supposed "good" is sickening..."
"When Good uses evil as a means to get more good it is almost evil in itself..."
"Maybe God just isn't good... that'd explain a lot..."

on honor on the battlefield
"Honor is crap... I do not attack the innocent and try to not attack the defenseless. But in a fight I will do everything I have to do to win. Fuck honor."
