⭐ MEMBER SPOTLIGHT (2 MEMBERS)

Each spotlight will feature a quick 5-question Q&A:

    1.    How long have you been part of ORH?

    2.    What games do you play most here?

    3.    Your favorite ORH memory so far?

    4.    What keeps you coming back?

    5.    One thing you would tell a new member?

Klaud (Miss Frizzle)

1. 13 months

2. I haven't played games in the ORH group, but I've been playing Fallout, Counter-Strike, and Terraria in my little amount of free time.

3. My favorite memory is absolutely tormenting Red into developing a self-conscious personality

4. The atmosphere keeps me coming back. Even though I don't have consoles and don't play many of the games you guys do, I've enjoyed hanging out and chatting in the Discord.

5. The most important thing for a new member is to socialize. Don't be afraid to converse with people, I don't usually talk to people either in person. Even if you don't play games, it's a good group to hang out with, find common interests, and ask for advice if you ever need it

Anto

1. 7.th December 2023

2. GTA and Arma

3. My Insurgency Sandstorm BCT led by Scrubs and Hawk together with Rapid and Punisher

4. The Bot commands

5. Take your time to get warm with the people here, they are all really cool
