To be completely honest, I did not play very much slayer until I met Clook. Sure, I had a TS 50 with wins and all, but I didn't play it consistently. Travis taught me a ton of random tricks and little ways to get ahead.
However, I also learned quite a bit from other players. While I learned individual skill from Clook, I learned a decent amount of teamwork from players like Meags, Ripping Faces, and Syphon's crew.
As for a being a star, I personally dont think I am anything special, though I do consider myself a better than average team player.
As for screaming at randoms... I used to get pretty mad lol
I do play still Meags, though I also like to jack around in random parts of the game. I am currently making a forged map :)
