From thunderphoenix:

1. You're not gonna fade away when you graduate college, are you?
- Sure hope not. Though whether or not I have a high-speed connection wherever I wind up is going to influence that...

2. I don't think I've asked this before: Why Mina?
- Well, I was still on a bit of a Soul Edge high when I made my selection (we played it non-stop in my freshman-year dorm, and I thought it was the best fighter EVER). Mina happened to be the first character I beat the game with, so there was that. And she was unique enough that I didn't expect to have to fight for her. (Default girls were in style at the time and they were being snatched up left and right. Mostly by Rob and Red. :p)

Still, if you'll recall, I went with Chun Li for a while. Took a few months for Mina to convince me she really deserved the spot.

3. Ever plan on going back to Japan, or was once enough?
- I'd love to. I never did get to visit Osaka or Kyoto (or Okinawa or Hokkaido, for that matter, but those are lower priorities). For that matter, it would be a blast just to see the alma mater again, visit all the tutors and my host family, etc.

4. Obligatory uber-dorky question: In a fair fight: CMZ or Teep? ;)
- If CMZ can wear lightning protection and still call it "fair", victory is at hand. If not, I think Teep might be able to edge CMZ out.


And from bugen:

1) I think you might've answered this somewhere already, but I forget, so... Why "ChocoMog ZERO"? Did you really like ChocoMog, or was the irony of a really powerful version of the game's weakest summon amusing to you? (No fair just answering this question with "Yes." :p)
- The irony. Plus it expressed that I was a bit of a contradiction in terms. And I liked both moogles and chocobos (though the former sort of got phased out of my character). I was actually using the handle "Boco" for my first month there before I changed it to CMZ.

2) Who's your favorite board character of yours? (Don't worry, I won't tell any of them.)
- You mean of the Corona crew? Probably Grace. I wasn't expecting her to come along at the end of Lost, but I'm really glad she did. She's got this insatiably curious nature I enjoy, and I get a kick out of her every time something new goes over her head. If I had to start my RPing all over again from scratch, I might very well pair CMZ up with her (though that would obviously result in an interesting relationship dynamic).

3) Just out of curiosity, what's your least favorite video/computer game?
- Least? Of the ones I've played? Ascendancy stunk pretty badly, but I think the absolute bottom of the barrel has to be Braveheart for the PC. I got the "opportunity" to play that one while testing graphics cards at Trident Microsystems, and the experience was just horrible. It was trying to be Shogun in Scotland, with an empire-builder phase and a 3D battler, and it failed miserably on both counts.

4) When are you going to update your web site? Or, will you update your web site?
- When the next chapter of Unum comes out. :p Okay, seriously, I've got a half-finished update in the works, but I've had higher priorities the past few months (school, job search, Asunder, Board Space, etc.) Maybe with school finally out of the way I can finish it.


And a last minute set from chibiakki!

1) Can you forgive me for all the crap I've put you through?
- Other than making me wait a year for the conclusion of Unum (:P) I'm not sure what you're referring to. But I don't bear you ill will for anything, if that's what you're asking.

2) The question on everyone's minds . . . why a Chocobo? I mean, I know Seamsie/Tor's story, but . . . why did you choose it?
- See my answer to Bugen and you'll get most of the story. I honestly don't know why I eventually decided CMZ was the chocobo and not the moogle... maybe because the first could look more draconic and that's what I was going for.

3) If God is omnipotent, can He create a rock so big that even He cannot lift it?
- No. Actually, there's a conclusion I came to a while back that answers this one as a side effect... God isn't omnipotent! Because you can't be perfect and omnipotent (in the strictest sense of the word) at the same time. Total omnipotence includes the ability to do imperfect things. One could, I suppose, argue that God could do imperfect things and chooses not to, which is reasonable, but ultimately an issue of semantics ("but if he always chooses not to...")

4) Any chance I can have hot lesbian sexxor with Mina?
- Well, not in character (unless you mind-control her, which isn't going to help what remains of Walks' standings on the Board). But if you actually decide to show your face on ICQ again (where've you been, anyway?) who knows? ;p

I'll interview ya if ya'll interview me. ^.^!

Sounds fair.

[shirenomad]

1) Since she's our common thread, how'd you first meet chibiakki?

2) Name your favorite animes and what you like about them.

3) If you could gain the ability to do something perfectly (play an instrument, stay in shape, write, etc.), what ability would you pick?

4) What is the first thing someone who wants to get to know you should be told about you?

[chibiakki.livejournal.com]

Can I have an interview too?

Please take note: your answers are up.

[shirenomad]

Now for my half:

1) I haven't seen you on ICQ in ages... where have you been hiding? (Was it something I said? *sniff*)

2) How's your spiritual search been going?

3) Clash of the Obsessions: In a fight, Seven of Nine, Legolas, Spike, or all seven AzuDai girls?

4) Since I wasn't able to get you anything for your birthday (sorry!) what would you have wanted assuming price was absolutely no object?

[shadeykins.livejournal.com]

Interview me...? :)

[shirenomad]

1) Your character seems to have been through a complicated evolution. Where's Shade originate from?

2) How long have you been drawing, and what inspires your art?

3) As a Canadian, what's your honest opinion of America?

4) What's up with your ferret obsession?

[cassaclyzm.livejournal.com]

3) As a Canadian, what's your honest opinion of America?

OooOOOOoooh. I'll be lookin' for the answer to that one. ^.^!!

[shirenomad]

Maybe I should have asked you instead?

(And your LJ responses are all setting off MoodWatch in my mailbox. :p)

[cassaclyzm.livejournal.com]

MoodWatch? o.o

[shirenomad]

Little feature of Eudora that watches out for flames (and warns you if you seem to be sending one of your own, forcing you to think about whether you really want to send it). It's set off by things like, say, curse words...

[cassaclyzm.livejournal.com]

^.^!!

Sowwie!

I'm a potty mouth, and I know it.

[thunderphoenix.livejournal.com]

How about me? ^^

[thunderphoenix.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. In all the years I've been online, I've never had a high-speed connection, so I'm not too concerned about you disappearing because of that. ;)

And remember the Eclipse Tournament? CMZ would probably smash Teep in five minutes flat, even if he was holding back. In Esper form, CMZ is Class 50 (50 tons) easy, while Teep can barely get up to Class 10 on a good day without taking a major hit to speed.

[shirenomad]

1) Turn-about's fair play, so: Why Aeris?

2) Other than movie theaters, where have you worked?

3) How'd you first find RPGamer, and what made you stick around?

4) If you could rewrite the Eclipse Tournament from scratch, what would you change? ("Not writing it" is NOT an option. :p)

[bugen.livejournal.com]

Any chance I could have hot lesbian sexxor an interview?

[shirenomad]

1) If you were forced to pick a defaults girl, who would it be? The only restriction is that she cannot be a real person (though a live-action character, e.g. Trinity, is fine).

2) Boxers or briefs?

3) What got you into Pokemon in the first place?

4) What TV shows do you watch?

[zarchery.livejournal.com]

*signs the sign-up sheet*

I did this from Cecil, and it's fun. Let's do it again.

[shirenomad]

1) Where'd you come up with "Thrifty"?

2) Favorite animal? Why? (Must actually exist.)

3) Did you read Lost? If so, how could my writing improve for Asunder?

4) Describe your first gaming experience.

[red-shadow.livejournal.com]

Let's do ittttt!

[shirenomad]

1) I already hit Teep with this question, but whatever: If you could rewrite the Shadow Games from scratch, what would you change? ("Not writing it" is NOT an option. :p)

2) While on the subject, what inspired your character?

3) Obligatory deep question: You've been given the ability to change one thing about the world. No one will know you were responsible for it. What do you change?

4) What's your greatest accomplishment?
