L98: When did you first start mudding?

C: when I was in the 8th grade

L98: How did you get into muds?

C: My buddy Travis showed me dreamshadows.
C: It ruled.
C: I played a cat person named afgter my cat Bandit.
C: Then it went down.
C: Assault and Feidor showed me tdome.
C: I played a hunter as my first char.
C: Man did that suck ass.
C: moves on to Cyborgs
C: had a 12 wis cyborg.
C: I thought it was the shit.
C: Then I found out that samies were cool as well.
C: Been one ever since.
C: except for a small stint as an assassin.
C: That was just lame as hell. No mid-combat circles.
C: But I got to blind a few annoying midbies and backstab em.
C: Knight tree is a good place to find potential victims :)
C: Hehehe.

L98: What different clans have you been in?

C: I been in: Dilznick, TekLords, KoC
C: Was in Panther Moderns when Image was allowed by Molly Aka Lawana to remake it
C: was in Hemf when Feidor was the only playing member left.
C: I applied to Arena two days ago
C: Aplied to Legion but was never accepted.
C: That was a bummer.
C: Only clans I never been in were:
C: Legend
C: Inner circle
C: and DRS
C: Oh, and SanD

L98: Tell me about your involvement in the BCC.

C: Hmmmm.
C: I guess I'd be one of the "Good guys" of the BCC
C: But as Merciless stated in a prior interview I sent him on the road to pkilling.
C: Me and him nailed a guy named Darklord.
C: He wouldn't shut his hole so Feidor told me and Merc where he was.
C: It was a pure slaughter.
C: For the most part I keep some of the BCC up on shit and tell em
C: when shit's been changed in hopes someone might start back up playing.
C: Right now almost the whole BCC is playing again.
C: Merc even went Legit for now.
C: Some of the BCC is anonymous.
C: Like Metal.
C: Aka Moonlight.
C: he prefers to be ingognito.
C: Vassago is kinda a new addition to the Brew City Crew.
C: Lyons is in Milwaukee, but he's too...
C: How do I put this...
C: Respectable to be associated with the rabble.
C: He'd be welcome though.
C: He'd have to come drink with us though.

L98: For those who might not understand, please briefly explain what the BCC is.

C: The BCC is the Brew City Crew.
C: We're basically a bunch of guys who all met in High School or Middle school.
C: Or other various ways, drinking, smoking weed and other ill shit.
C: I met Vassago by grouping with him on tdome 1.
C: So he was inducted a lil while ago.
C: We basically banded together one day at the EMS at University Milwaukee
C: We crewed up and did the dome once we all met up in the CS lab.
C: Then we'd hit the Dome again before lunch.
C: and once more after lunch.
C: We're like a union, not a clan.
C: We're our own worst enemy.
C: None of us fear anyone else but a BCC member.
C: Call it bravery or Stupidity.

L98: Who do you think you've learned the most from on TDome?

C: Oddly enough Lugnut.
C: He taught me to run like hell.
C: and never be affraid to be like a nike shoe commercial.
C: just do it.
C: I don't think I learned much from anyone else.

L98: You've run a crew and a jacker here and you are implementor on your own mud.
L98: Which have you enjoyed the most?

C: Doing shit for my own mud.
C: But I really never ran a full crew for long.
C: The other chars I use aren't really me.
C: So they're like kleenex.
C: Soft, convenient and disposable.
C: Doing your own shit is the best.
C: You control it all.
C: What people can do with thier char for the most part.
C: where they can go.
C: What that can see.
C: but it's better to make shit vague so they can get thier own imagination going.
C: Nothing like missing one semi colon to screw 200 lines of code up.

You fall down laughing.
L98: True enough

C: makes you appreciate what others have done before you.
C: Even when it sucks.
C: Like I made my own interdict skill.
C: Works more like rescue.
C: even made some stupid code to suicide.
C: They need to bring back Hari-kari

L98: Tell me a little about your mud.

C: Ummm.
C: Well. A big rock hit the earth.
C: And shit changed.
C: Lots of fucked shit is going in.
C: Power sources.
C: cybernetics.
C: guns.
C: shit to modify guns.
C: 4 different classes of vehicles.
C: The other coder is almost completely re-writing the code base.
C: Circle mud base is REAL sloppy.
C: Lets ya know how to screw around though as a player.
C: Like Mobs you charm on circle can't be hurt by earthquake :)
C: Makes for a REAL interesting situation in combat.

L98: What time in TDome history do you think was the best time to play?

C: Hmmmm.
C: tdome2
C: right before tdome 3
C: when shit got silly.
C: people freezing to death just trying to pick the door to the university.
C: people freezing in the middle of the desert.
C: mindlinking the statue of ra to drink a canteen of gas.
C: job code
C: the t-rex being imm controlled and neck breaking shit.
C: that was just plain silliness.

L98: The Odie knife job was the best

Alias nods.
C: free exp.
C: Oh, midget rings.
C: Those were THE best.
C: Nothing like everyone being able to rescue
C: Firstaid
C: and evasion.
C: made it useless to run a real crew.
C: at least for me.
C: I could go anywhere and heal myself.
C: and wear hunted eq.
C: made a 250 hp cap dealable.
C: Oh, and being able to take out f1 and power man with 2 spirits.
C: we need mounts and +regen eq back

L98: What was the worst time to play?

C: Hmmm.
C: Any time yer grouped with Lugnut on a crater run :)

You fall down laughing.

C: Ummm.
C: I'd say tdome 2 right before tdome 3 actually.
C: There was SO much code abuse going on it wasn't even fun to play.
C: That and mud char life hit an all time low in value.
C: Everyone was expendable.
C: all you needed was a level 24 ninja and level 24 mutant to take out the mud.

L98: If you could change any aspect of TDome, what would it be?

C: Hmmm.
C: I'd put thumpers back in.
C: and make it so exp goes down when all you do is kill the same mobs.
C: Like how they have it on Sojourn.
C: Oh, and make it so cs2 rock ain't the end all be all.
C: Guns are lame now too.
C: all the guns save a few are 5d10 damage per shot.
C: Why bother when a level 15 mutant can psiattack 3 times?
C: get 2 mutants and that's the same as 6 shot gun shells.
C: plus you can get em to cs2 oblit REAL easy.
C: The classes that aren't Mutant, Samurai and Assassin need some juice.
C: Those are the Big three classes now.

L98: What do you like the most about TDome?

C: The people.
C: no place else have I ever met such pride and arogance.
C: It's like family too though.
C: I been playing for 5 and a half years, maybe longer.
C: I seen a lot of the imms when they were newbies.
C: It's kinda funny.
C: Like I remember when me and Tick would go whack Power Man.
C: A samie and Mutant shooting a pump shot gun each at him.
C: I actually hit more often then Tick did.
C: 68% rate.
C: I've grouped with almost everyone here once or twice.
C: even people I can't stand.
C: Of all the muds I played I've never been as close to the people here.

L98: This will be the last quetion.

C: Going to a float makes it more fun too.

L98: go ahead

C: Naw. Just doing a shameless float plug :)
C: Wait.
C: My best time tdome related I ever had was
C: Shooting Ratchet in the back about 7 times from 10 feet away at the 5th float.
C: That'll make all the bullshit worth while.

You fall down laughing.

C: You're taller then him :)
C: Made Sylla feel bad-ass.
C: he wasn't the shortest for a change.

L98: How tall is he compared to Diablo?

C: Not sure.
C: Never met Diablo in person.
C: Ratchet was standing next to me, Famous, Fender, Grythonde 
C: and Redwolf.
C: Me and famous were the shortest of the "Big" guys.
C: and I can see over Ratchet's head easily.

You fall down laughing.

C: He can put the beer down though.
C: didn't know that much beer could fit in such a little guy.

L98: This is the last question.
L98: Where do you see yourself in the future?

C: Prolly still playing here.
C: Unless I finally convince some woman to marry me.
C: Maybe running my own mud.
C: Prolly just doing what I do best. Jack shit and mudding.
C: Not real sure.
C: Anything's possible.
C: Some day i might have something figured out.
C: Til then it's just like my father suggests, live it up now.
C: Like tonight I went and seen some women shake it for singles.
C: One day at a time.
C: It's all gonna pass by so quickly.
C: Live it man, if you don't someone else will.

L98: Thank you.
