This is really open-ended question, and to be honest with you, I'm not really sure how to answer it. From my perspective, I have absolutely no idea. People would probably mention my obsession with the appeals, my "big posts," my 3rd-place archer tag, my overall bow skill, my love for debates in staff discussions, my initiative as a moderator, my being a pal, or maybe my anime funposting. There's a lot I've done here in retrospect, and I'm not sure what I could really call my "biggest" impact. This is probably something that someone else would be better suited to answering, I'm ashamed to say. I wish I had a longer and better answer for you, but it's a difficult question to narrow down and really think about. Chances are I'll respond to this tomorrow and have a proper answer for you, though

Yeah, I used to be pretty good. Once upon a time, I used to be in what I now like to think of as a god-tier triangle. The top three archers in the archer tourney Badlion had a year ago were the three people in this triangle: christhenoob, Hivlik and I. I've always thought of our positions as interchangeable—no one of these three would be the real "best." I usually beat christhenoob, Hivlik usually beat me, and christhenoob usually beat Hivlik. chris was an all-rounder sort of guy, extremely good at aiming and amazing dodging and strafing. Hivlik would still argue that chris was the undisputed best, but to be honest, I never thought of him as a step above either of us. I was 10-4 on him during the season where he first played, and I could read through him provided i knew what I was doing. I couldn't read Hivlik, though, who says that he wasn't ever able to read chris. Hivlik was, by the way, always just really good at dodging, and it's what made my blood boil whenever we got into a long range fight. He sucks at aiming, but his dodging is top-notch. It's weird how much his dodging carried him through all his fights, and weird how he got so good with just dodging. I'm the opposite of Hivlik though; my dodging/strafing was absolutely dreadful. It was my aiming that I really prided myself on, often bragging about being the best archer when it came down to just aiming.
I'm actually surprised that I was able to get so good, considering that I've always played with a handicap of sorts. I've always used a trackpad, which apparently puts me at a disadvantage against mouse users, since it's a lot more difficult to use (think of finger dexterity and room temperature and all that), and I've always used my trackpad with my left hand, even though I'm not a lefty.
But yeah, I was a pretty good archer. My melee has always been below par, but there was a time where I abused the hell out of my awful connection during this one season and got myself 2.05k diamond. That's always nice

I've always been asked that question in pms, and all I can tell you is to use a trackpad. For some reason, I feel like I have a lot more control when I'm using one, and it's a lot easier to focus on aiming at the opponent. It's more so that I'm absolutely dreadful when using a mouse, but yeah, try a trackpad. Who knows, maybe it'll make you better.

Ah, wouldn't that be neat? Unfortunately not, as I'm still in my junior year in HS. I kinda wish I were, since I'm pretty eager about settling down and starting a married life, you know? I want out of worrying about college though, especially because I'm so awfully indecisive about things and I have no idea what I'll /really/ end up doing with my later career. Playing the romanticist is a lot more fun than playing the achiever, and it's that kind of thinking that's going to land me in a puddle of soup.

Haha, I'll answer it as "what do you want to major in?" since I'm not majoring in anything atm
It's one of those questions that I'd think about long and hard but come up with nothing. I'll give you my thinking process though, so that you can find your own interpretive answer in my mess of thoughts. So, as a really young child, I've been obsessed with numbers and mathematics. I always took advanced math courses and had an early fascination for counting and numbers. Think about those obsessions you had when you were really young. Maybe it was something like Blue's Clues, or perhaps Hot Wheels cars—mine was simply numbers. As long as I had my numbers, I was absolutely content. As I grew older, I started to show my creative side, obsessing over drawing and paper crafts from maybe first to fifth grade. I made some pretty cool things too, like an "Apple Future" which closely resembled a tablet with a trackpad, and a 4x3ft paper city. I unfortunately lost/threw out almost all of those paper things, otherwise I might have attached a pic or something. Something that I always hated though was writing and language arts. I was never good at it and just did enough to get an A. I got into robotics and machines around 7th to 8th grade, and my interest shifted to computer programming in 9th grade, although I'd started around 6th grade. I kinda stuck with the technology thing until late last year, when I picked up an old notebook and started writing some metafiction. I was enjoying it, and I really liked the way my handwriting looked, so I kept writing. I gradually got more and more interested, and all of a sudden, I found myself changing yet again. I'm now in love with writing and I've picked up drawing again after maybe a 6-7 year long break. I'm also enjoying acting now, and I'm writing plays now. It's also worth noting that I've also had a huge interest in music since I was about 6-7 years old, and that I'm nearly fluent in 7 languages. It's all a huge mess, isn't it?
Then there's that big question– what do you want to do when you grow up? I think for undergrad, it doesn't really matter too much what I do. The problem is that I feel happiest doing the arts, but pursuing a career in the arts is risky by nature. I want to compose music, I want to write, I want to draw, and I want to do math somewhere. I'm thinking of majoring in architecture, but I'm not sure if that's what I really want. It's so hard to tell with all these different interests I have, really

I can kind of read Hivlik now, and it woild be pretty awesome if I could still aim like I used to be able to. I dunno though, he may still have the upper hand. It's hard to say with him.
Doe is kinda different, because it's him who's developed over time. He used to be one of those easy 1900s to beat, but now is a pretty formidable opponent. But yes, I'd be able to beat him if I could still aim like I used to. I can read Doe, but I lost the ability to aim like I used to be able to
