Quentin M
Quentin "Silver Angel" Meunier (or SA for short) is a very nice French player who loves The Elite for what it is, for all the accomplishments achieved in both games, and for all the side events that are run in the community.
Goldeneye
Silver Angel first took a look at the Goldeneye rankings on June 17th 2004, but it wasnt until Summer 2005 that he joined The Elite himself. He proudly considers himself to belong to what's known as the "BBWJ forever" team.
He began to play Goldeneye competitively during 2005, peaking at 50th in points, 41st in time during the Summer of 2006. He was very happy with this ranking as it accomplished his goal of overtaking Nodjo's 2nd place in French rankings. At the time he held 19 French Records, including 10 untieds. Two of his best times were Aztec 00 2'10 (10th fastest time when set) and Jungle 00 1'07, though he was never close to getting any World Record.
He still sporadically plays Goldeneye and continues to following the evolution of the competition with high interest.
Final Fantasy
SA has played many other games during his gaming life, espcecially on N64 and GameCube, however his favourite series is Final Fantasy. He considers FFX to be, along with Goldeneye, the best game ever made and has spent more than 400 hours on this game, first completing a perfect Sphere Grid, and then finishing the game in the "No Sphere Grid" challenge.
His most significant accomplishment was becoming the first player in the World to finish Final Fantasy XII 100% in Low Level Challenge (LLC). The entire completion took several months and is 193 hours long with the Yiazmat boss fight alone lasting 9 hours (without save of course). He was also the second French player to defeat Omega Mark XII in LLC.
Elite Projects
He made up on-line rankings for the Euro FV as well, and has done the same this year, with a new design.
For the year 2007, SA created a Sylvester Tip page, which is accessible here. However, his greatest project elite-wide to this day probably is the GoldenEye World Records Database, which is linked below.
you can also say that since 2006, I have created online rankings for euro fv (just updating the sentence about that, not very important)
Elite Contests
SA won the prize of the "Voter of the Year" in the 2005 Summer Contest, along with the "Iron Man" prize this same year. He finished 3rd with Goose in the "Vote of the Day" mini-contest during the 2006 Summer Contest. Enjoying the unmatchable fun of FVs, he participated in almost every Euro FV in 2006, what offered him a 2nd spot behind Wabs.
Thanks to Ngamer, SA has been a special winner of the christmas contest 2005! This prize was probably a reward for the sending of a special T-shirt he has sent to Jon.
After last year unluck in the 2007 contest, where he lost by a 1-vote margin against Greg Lavery, SA hopes to be a bit more lucky this time, though the new format won't make it easy."
Ha! Very important: I am the Euro FV 2007 Dual Champ (Regular + Predictions)
Outside Gaming
SA has met Nodjo 4 times in real life, and will with no doubt see him again in the future. During one of these meetings he also met Wabs, thus creating the first French Elite "Meeting" in history, resulting in one of the coolest weekends ever (and also a short vid he made of it).
I've met nodjo more than 4 times now... couldn't say how many though... like 6-7 times, maybe more
As for my studies, I am logically finishing my first year of PhD (finished school last year)
In the rest of his life, SA is currently finishing his 3rd year in an high engineering school specialized in math & computer science. As an "eternal apprentice", he will begin a PhD next year, so he'd better be ready for 3 more years of study! He follows many sports such as football, tennis, Formula 1 and Rally. And like everyone SA likes going out with friends and going to parties to come back at no hour. He likes music and cinema as well but enjoys watching "big" movies as well as movies with less media coverage.
