Q. What sort of players annoy you the most? (Answer!)
A. The type of players that annoy me the most are the ones who beg for stuff instead of working hard like everyone else. My biggest thing to is..when someone who is new answers a 'noob' question...just give them the answer! Stop being a sarcastic jackass about it! To me what you expect out of a person irl should be the same you expect from someone in a game as common courtesy or manners. Some people are just uncivilized and disrespectful idiots if you ask me ^_^. Any that is my thoughts on it!!! Game on ppl!!
Q. In real life, are you male or female? (Answer!)
Q. When you are not playing games, what do you do for fun? (Answer!)
A. Write, draw, hanging out with my family and friends, hit the beach, read, listen to music,...enjoy life's everyday things!!
Q. Where did you get your gaming names from? (Answer!)
A. Usually I get it from stories I write...having full biographies of them in my head and BAM!! The name!! Or if they are Japanese names it is from my friend who speaks it fluently and I ask him all the time. The name has got to have a meaning for me and give my character a personality....
A. Yes, and I have a microphone
Q. How many hours a week do you play? (Answer!)
Q. What music do you like to play games to? (Answer!)
A. If it has to do with PVP it has got to be something like hard rock, metal, industrial, punk, alternative...if it is just your usual grinding and socializing well that is just an array of anything and everything from blues and jazz to sometimes R&B, meh...or I just randomize and stick with what is on at the moment XD!
Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I've played a guy and you know...female characters do get it easy. I usually got ignored and whatnot which to be honest...didn't mind in the least but when finding parties pfft...good luck! I do mostly play a female character basically because I like to and I do like the feminine form ^_^!
Q. Why do you join guilds or clans? (Answer!)
A. I join based on the leaders and the people and a feeling of family. Really huge guilds don't appeal to me as much as small ones. I would be more inclined to join a group of close-knit individuals that are small in numbers rather than a large mass-recruited guild that you are only a number in.
Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)
A. Fantasy with alot of killing AND A FREAKIN PK SYSTEM!!! That is all ^_^
Q. What experience do you have beta-testing games? (Answer!)
A. None to be honest. Never really did that^^
Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. It varies when speaking of that whether it be friendship or some people tend to go further as in something intimate. I will not knock anything as it 'not being real.' To some people these relationships are meaningful. The people behind the pixels do exist and are people too who have a common interest in gaming. As you are with these people you sometimes share more of yourself. The computer is a barrier that kind of keeps one safe and therefore you are able to let some of yourself out without hesitation. Doesn't matter what you do, look like irl, ....that doesn't matter...allows one to let down their defenses without any of those things getting in the way. I like my friends I've met and the relationships I built with these other gamers who knows? Maybe they need a friend to talk to!! I know I did!! And with no regrets ^_^
Q. What are your most memorable achievements in a game? (Answer!)
A. Always for me...in any game...achieving max levels!!! Just seeing the value of my hardwork trudging along to that level and actually getting to the end!!!! Means a lot to me since I always fall in the healer category^^
Q. What sort of tools (calculators, builders, spreadsheets, etc.) do you use to plan your characters? (Answer!)
A. No tools really. I kinda just go with the flow but I will ask suggestions first if anyone has one. I also look at guides that other people have made so I'm preparedTT
Q. What are your favorite tabletop (RPG, board, miniatures, etc.) games? (Answer!)
A. Legends of the Five Rings - I got hooked on it when my friend Lance asked us actors if we wanted to play!!! Being the only girl made it some crazy fun times hehe.
Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)
A. I don't think that is appropriate. I mean...why the hell you gonna buy stuff. It is a game!! The items in a GAME isn't gonna do crap for you irl!!
Q. Have you ever had a romantic encounter with someone you met in a game? (Answer!)
A. Yes. I met my ex-fiance in Lineage 2 and he was very sweet! We were together for about 3 years but friends in game for about 2 years before that! Our break up had nothing to do gaming wise but he was very sweet^^ We shared the love of the gaming...and semi-still do^^ I'll always be a gamer chick hehe
Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. I love that adrenaline rush feeling! I especially love the thrill of the chase when you are in pursuit of your victim hehe!! Sure no one likes to be killed, just like me, but I'll tell you one thing.....you better expect me to come back better, faster, and ready to kick some ass and take names while doing it!!!
Q. What is the most memorable flamewar you can remember? (Answer!)
A. Lineage 2...omg...it was between 2 great alliances on the Sieghardt server!! I remember them going on about zerg guilds and the like or who is reporting who and who is stealing whose bosses!! It was a great read for me as I watched the soap opera unfold on the forums and in game. Gotta say...love my buddy LordChowder!!! He just had a knack to keep a flamewar going hehe
Q. When do you play, including timezone? (Answer!)
A. Depends on the day. Time is also iffy as well since it is random for me! I play GMT -10, aka Hawaii Time^^
Q. Have you ever had a memorable real-life meeting with other gamers? (Answer!)
A. I do remember in Hawaii meeting a guild back from my days of playing WoW with my family. My family are Polynesians sooo...needless to say they aren't small guys...well at least my cousins who are Samoan....5 of em all play WoW. We got invited to see this movie and meet our old guild. They were usually full of smack talkers and 'higher levels' who like to brag alot. Anyway we get to the front of the theaters and I (5'11") come up with my brother (6'3" stalky) and 5 (all husky) cousins and right before us is a bunch of little asian guys and girls the tallest being 5'7" who looked kinda scared when we said who we were. The funniest thing we can remember is the one guy who did most of the shit talk...was the shortest guy there at 5'5" and started kissing my brother's(current leader of our new guild) ass all night!! LOL it was great...memorable for days to come!!
