1. I've been playing CTB off and on for a little over a year (May 2018).
2. I'm not too sure why I started. I was probably bored of Standard and didn't have a desk to play it on while I was moving, so I experimented with the modes I haven't played before (CTB and mania) and CTB just kinda stuck.
3. I move with numpad 1 and 2 and dash with X. I use a laptop keyboard.
4. I don't really have a favorite player. I'm not that involved in the CTB community.

It's not my favorite because of the map itself; I just really like the song. :^)
6. I'm not sure who my favorite mapper is either. Ascendance is everywhere map-wise, so maybe them.
7. I'm strictly a no-mod player at the moment. I did play HR on Cup diffs, but those don't give out enough pp anymore. Maybe I'll experiment with mods in the future once I've improved.
8. Solo, but it'd be nice to play multis once in a while.
9. I like Salads, Platters, and Overdoses. Salads require little effort, but unlike Cups, you'll be moving most of the time, making them less boring. I can currently play Platters, and that's where CTB gets more interesting and maps are less limited in how they can be constructed. I'm not good enough to play Overdose just yet, but from seeing them being played, they look really cool.
10. CTB is alright. It won't be the main mode I play, but it definitely can be a good break from Taiko if I ever get bored or tilted.
