Many people asked me, what is Archm4ge and why I choose this alias. Well, if you had play fantasy games before, a mage is a spellcaster. Arch simply means chief. I usually play a mage, because I focused on offense, strategy and flexibility. So, Archm4ge is my character. Another alias which I go by is a5c3ndant. In real life, I am a Mensan (http://www.mensa.sg/about/whatis) and I work & think in ways similar to a scientist/researcher. My aim in life is to make a positive difference to as many people lives as possible. Sounds ambitious? But it's still possible when the opportunity arises, I like to challenge and defy adversity. I have a high ego so I am competitive and aim to win. My idol would be Zhuge Liang from the Romance Of The Three Kingdoms.
