10 Questions - Carrie "Tetch" Dolph

Carrie "Tetch" Dolph

How long have you been playing?
I have been playing since 1993, since the first Feast of Chimeron. I hate math, so ...

How has the game changed since you've been playing?
That would take a lot of time...
Aside from the obvious: changes in magic system, changes in nations and players and player characters...
I think the major change is in focus - it seemed that back in 'the day' there was more comraderie between players - like sing-a-longs in the evening, or gatherings after the event to talk about the event.. I kind of miss that...
Some things are better now, though, less favoritism, more consistant rules.

Who have you learned the most from?
I can't really say.. I learn from everyone, and try to learn from everything.

What was your best moment IC?
Do I have to pick one?
As Tetch: Defeating Thanatos in spirit combat. (Teach HIM to think a healer couldn't fight!)
As Tenguanese Samurai: Winning One Woman at QoH's (even though I wasn't supposed to be in that tourney!)
As Alex: All around kicking butt in Hell.
As Rune: The reaction of getting the 'gift' from Father Yule, and the 'super secret Commune with Spirit'.

What was your best moment as a NPC/EH/Player?
Again, just one??
The reaction of players to Fafnir.
The reaction of players to the Draco-Lich.
The way "The Citadel" came out in the last of the Lost Gate series.




















What would you like to see changed or developed more in game?
More consistancy! (who didn't see that coming, I mean, really?)
Aside from that, I would like to see a better way of encouraging more NPCing, and more questing.

What advice would you give new players?
Be Brave, not IC necessarily, but OOC: Ask Questions. Introduce yourself. Try new things. Take risks you might not normally OOC.

What do you love most about the game?
The people.

Who would you like to see the next interview be with?
Richard Pavis.

Anything else you'd like to take the opportunity to put into print?
No thanks. :)
