 About ArieselQ. What question would you add to the Attitudes system?A. "Are you addicted to online gaming?"See More Answers About This... Q. What is a feature you would like added to GuildCafe?A. "Player videos, maybe?"See More Answers About This... Q. What is the most memorable flamewar you can remember?A. "Hmmm, any of the flamewars from the old Everquest Quellious Collective board. There were some doozies! :Dwww.quellious-collective.com" See More Answers About This... Q. What are the proper uses of tank guns and bubblegum?A. "Tank guns are a specific field of weapon design that meet the particular needs of the tank. They must provide accuracy, range, penetration, and rapid fire in a package that is as compact and lightweight as possible, to allow mounting in the cramped confines of an armored turret. As the tank's primary armament, they are almost always employed in a direct-fire mode to defeat a variety of ground targets at all ranges, including dug-in infantry, lightly-armored vehicles, and especially other heavily-armored tanks. They use self-contained ammunition, allowing rapid loading (or use of an autoloader). They often show a bulge in the barrel, which is a bore evacuator.Bubblegum is evil."

Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose?A. ""Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley, as long as Mythic did it and it was RvR. :)"See More Answers About This... Q. What experience do you have beta-testing games?A. "A lot! My first beta test was for Horizons and I was hooked! Early beta people are some of the nicest players I've met.From there I've been a beta tester for all of DAoC's expansions, SWG's Jump to Lightspeed, Atari's Scrabble Online, Sid Meier's Pirates, D&D Online, Guild Wars, EQ2's Echoes of Faydwer, Vanguard & LOTR.

What do your characters and avatars usually look like?A. "Lol, usually cute, wardrobe coordination is a must. Basso is an exception!"See More Answers About This... Q. What mods do you play with?A. "I've only had one mod tell me who they were ingame, and...*looks at her hubby shaking his head*...OH! You mean changing the UI and things! Ummm, used one once in EQ2...I think? Have no idea what it was :D."See More Answers About This... Q. Have you ever had a romantic encounter with someone you met in a game?A. "How 'bout with someone I already knew? *grins evily*"See More Answers About This... Q. What do you love or hate about PVP?A. "I hate gankers, but if you KNOW you are going into a pvp area...deal. :)I love the adrenalin rush of battling against a character that you have no idea of what they may do." See More Answers About This... Q. What are your most memorable achievements in a game?A. "Completing all the master levels in DAoC, being part of roleplay events in several games (especially the Siabra stories in DAoC & the Golden Chalice storyline in EQ2)."See More Answers About This... Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games?A. "Still waiting for that one company that will at least give a roleplay server ruleset the attention and money it deserves. It is always amusing how the "roleplay designated" server, whether company dictated or player chosen, is one of the, if not THE, most popular server.And I still don't understand why there are people that have no intention of roleplaying at all, but feel they must play on a server that has the word "roleplay" right there LISTED after it's name; and then proceed to try and ruin somebody else's game time by doing everything they can to NOT roleplay whatever genre, environment, style, the game offers. And then complain about the roleplayers! Games out there now are MPOG's - multi-player online games. Don't put the RP (roleplay) in your classification unless you are willing to offer at least one server of sanctuary to those that want to be the actors and actresses of the RPG world. And no, even a star trooper would not say, "moneez 4 a noob, plz". So there. :D" See More Answers About This... Q. Why do you join guilds or clans?A. "Most times, it is to be with other fantastic roleplayers that have the same goals and play styles. I have joined guilds that RL friends have created, as well. A great guild also provides solid grouping opportunities that you have to struggle to find if you choose the solo path."See More Answers About This... Q. Other than your console or PC, what is the piece of hardware you can't live without?A. "My...speakers? Do they count?"See More Answers About This... Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful?A. "I've changed my mind! I have "met" some people ingame that seem really nice and probably would be good friends in RL. Who knows... ;-)We did meet a couple that we played with in Everquest and they are awesome! <waves to Finil & Balla>" See More Answers About This... Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!)A. "I like what EQ2 did with their exchange server. Give those kind of players a server of their own and I'm happy.Get rid of the farmers on all the others...I don't care how you do it..." See More Answers About This... Q. Are you interested in working within the game industry?A. "No. But my daughter and her boyfriend are both talented enough. They are focusing on film work, however. *sigh*"See More Answers About This... Q. What sort of players annoy you the most?A. "Farmers, dewds, spiteful players out for revenge against all the people that they let make them miserable."See More Answers About This... Q. What music do you like to play games to?A. "If the game music is not good enough to listen to, I turn it off and just have the sound effects on."See More Answers About This... Q. When you are not playing games, what do you do for fun?A. "Watch movies or tv, plan a garden, talk to my husband & son."See More Answers About This... Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory?A.
