Tell us a little bit about yourself and what kind of gachas you like to play.

A Danish student, 26-year-old trying to fulfill a dream that I had ever since 8th grade, to become a Certified Public Accountant. Today I'm 7 months away from my graduation where I can finally start out and work towards the goal of becoming a CPA.

Being a full-time student has given me lots of free time at hand which i tend to use on my hobbies where gaming is one of them.

Currently, my played Gacha are the following:

  • Epic 7

  • Fate Grand Order (NA & JP) 

  • Azur Lane 

  • Pokémon Masters

  • Arknights (Soon!)

Outside of my gaming needs I juggle around with 4 jobs but don’t worry, they are so well scheduled that they never overlap, pretty lenient work so I have a lot of free time still. If you join my server there is an entire  #about-me channel where I describe everything.

What got you interested in joining GamePress?

Honestly, I'm a “solo-runner” as in, I never look up guides when I play, I start my game figure something out, and create my own sheets on excel, I create my own formulas and my own way of sorting/organizing things. It is very often I bring something to the table where people are like “but that’s already created there” so technically speaking. If I didn’t get approached by NorseFTX then I would probably never have heard of GamePress or any alternative sites.

What was your first impression of the GP team and community?

I kinda enjoyed my time with GP so far and it’s team, my first impression was that how little I knew about anything, a lot came as a surprise, and also how awful I was with the back-end stuff but being a quick-study, I learned improved and here I am. I feel like even if it only has been few months with GP so far, I feel very changed than I first started out. When it comes to community, I felt we didn’t connect well, which is why I started my server to ensure that I can connect with them. And here after a bit of success, I feel like it’s time to give back to the community to thank them for wanting me to keep going. I know that it isn’t the biggest place we are just about to reach 5000 users, but I believe that if I’m given the chance I can truly show them how different we are compared to all other servers.

How do you think the community has grown since you joined GP?

It’s a part of me now. I like every single user on my server and I hope that people are willing to play together and have some fun doing so! In the end, we all got our busy lives to attend to.

What’s your favorite thing about administering a GP server?

My favorite part is that I'm not actually administering, currently, I’m taking the backseat and let the community do its thing. I decided to follow my instinct and letting the server take its own path by asking people what they want and what they don’t like, one could say it’s evolving on a daily basis, so if you see me delete every single channel and just have one chat, then it’s because you all wanted it. There are times I make decisions, and that’s when I believe that we didn’t hit the numbers, basically some people wanted me to create a challenge system where there were players selected as a gatekeeper and others had to win over them but I believed we didn’t have the player-count to make it interesting/sufficient. Other than that, I feel like I've let 99% of all things go through with wishes and suggestions, even removed features that people didn’t like. So you wanna raise your voice? Please do, I do listen.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

If you haven’t given me a chance then you should, in the end, I'm here for all of you. I’m active, i’m pingable, and I priority the community over anything else.
