I have been playing since 1999. My very first event
was Tournaments of Creathorne (no idea the number). I hung out with the
Nashua folks at fight practice, but never went to any events. Finally,
Eric Garbos convinced me to go. I really had no idea what I was getting
myself into.
How has the game
changed since you've been playing?
A lot has changed since I started playing. The
fighting has changed. We use much lighter weapons now which has increased
the speed of combat. The way we use the magic system has changed.
We can learn spells at a much faster pace. Not sure if that's a
good thing or not. And the basic way we play has changed. It has
become much more of a sport. There isn't as much role playing as there
used to be. I wish we could go back to more role playing. That was
fun.
Who have you
learned the most from?
There are several people in the game I have learned a
great deal from. I try to learn from everybody I can. I try to use
every situation as a learning experience. Of course the people that I
spend the most time with are the ones I've learned the most from. Ben
Greene, Neil Tozier, Andy Disbrow just to name a few. I am trying to
spend more time with people I normally don't hang with to learn what they have
to offer. But believe it or not... I am a shy person, so I am not always
that comfortable around new (to me) people.
What was your best
moment IC?
My best IC moment is a toss up between two different
ones. The first one is when I ran for Queen. Lord Artex was on my
team and he stormed off my team. And then after a few battles, he came
back on his knees begging for forgiveness. This of course was all
worked out a head of time between the two of us OOC, but we were the only ones
who knew. So to see everyone's faces was priceless. The second
moment is when I married Bean IC. It was fun. We had it set up
beautifully. Dark gave me away. We had to keep Sir Sean flatted
because he wanted to stop the wedding. Orchyd started off as the
officiant, but Cinnabar felt it was taking too long. He had Dame
Shalindra kill (and impale) Bean. And finished the ceremony Borderlands
style. Too much fun. And too top it off, I think we had everybody
on site there. And since this was at a ToC, that's a lot of people

What was your best
moment as a NPC/EH/Player?
Elven Boom Babies!!!! (Ask Boom)
What would you like
to see changed or developed more in game?
I would really like to see the role playing come back.
It gave the game a fun added element. We got to be more creative
with everything. Also... for people to remember this is just a game.
Something we do on weekends to let off some steam and to relax and have
fun.
What advice would
you give new players?
Go out there to have fun. Talk to everybody.
Make friends where ever you can. And don't dismiss anybody.
What do you love
most about the game?
The interesting people I've meet over the years.
The people in this game have given me a diverse look on life. They
have added flavor. And I thank them all for it.
Who would you like
to see the next interview be with?
Tanya Johnson or Carrie Dolph (Carrie's interview can be seen here). I think either would
lead to a great interview.
Anything else you'd
like to take the opportunity to put into print?
Just this... Live every moment, Laugh every day, Love
beyond words.
