It's time to forge the narrative.

Everybody, welcome to a special edition of Forged Narrative.

My name is Paul Murphy, your host.

I've got Andrew Whitaker.

What's up, guys?

And a spectacular player from the southeast, Horton Dought. What's up, everybody? Hey, man, thanks for joining us. Is it Dowden or Dodden? That is the million-dollar question, isn't it? It is Dalton. Doubton. Like, you wouldn't be doubting it. Didn't I know it? You got it, Paul. Right. Yeah. I thought so. Right.

Thank you.

I'm admitting, I'm confessing right now that I've been saying your name wrong for as long as we've been friends. I've been saying Dodden this whole time. Most people, most people get it wrong, and I just don't call them out on it. I just move on. It's okay. That's fair. Your emotional maturity is probably what made me think you were in your 40s when we made.

Well, it's okay. I'll take that as a compliment.

Well, we're talking you today.

You have finished in the top 10 at Deptcon, top 10 at two batches of warzone, including

a top five finish last year, and have consistently placed well in the ATC event.

So you're a force to be reckoned with in the Southeast as well as numerous, numerous RTT wins

and generally intimidating across the table. So that's the kind of the opposite. I mean, intimidating is not necessarily what you don't walk up to the table thinking that you're good, you're about to play one of the most awesome players around. I mean, you're kind of one of those all-around players to where, you know, a great person to hang out with,

great person to talk to, a great person to talk shop with about the game, and you can still tear people's heads off. Wow, what do I say? Wow, I mean, all these nice things being said about me, I'm flabbergasted. We'll get them out of the way, and then we'll just talk about, you know, maybe your approach to the game, because that's what I really want to focus in on some of this stuff. Because, you know, you strike me as someone
