Gold

This is an interview between me and Gold on 4/9/00. Gold has also been known as Clam, Castle and Rhuarc. He was once a jacker but currently is playing as a crew and is a member of the Legend clan. Gold is still continuing his quest for booze and pussy.


L98: How did you first get into mudding?

G: my freshman year of college 6 years ago...
G: a longtime friend showed me after a night class
G: was on a mud based outta UMD where i went to school
G: now its pretty popular...arcane knights

L98: How did you find out about TDome?

G: actually my brother started playing it with some people who still play
G: leto/sawyer/quest and i started to kick it around
G: we liked it because mortal showed me what was up and got me to level 10
G: so it stuck

L98: How long have you been playing here?

G: A bit over 4 years I believe.
G: I became serious when cur were removed and knights were created

L98: What are some of the different clans you've been in?

G: Ive only been in 2...i was a slave for IC and now legend

L98: You've been a jacker and you play a full crew now. Which have you enjoyed most?

G: I miss certain aspects of being a jacker.
G: Like the constant interaction with the immortals
G: But i couldnt handle always asking for help on a mob like hawkeye
G: so i started the crew again
G: as you see i chose a diff crew then alot
G: slingers are rare now days
G: I take it as a challenge to make a kick ass char outta classes no one plays,

L98: What's your favorite class and why?

G: my fav class so far has been barb for multi and knight for solo.
G: barbs have combat skills...there not just kill/grapple
G: I played a knight back when grythonde was a jacker.  I ran alot with him.
G: i guess its all relative to who i played with as much as anything.

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

G: I enjoyed tdome the most back when there was cs1 available.
G: Now at times i feel like its a job more then a game.
G: back then you feared few mobs like anvil and striker...
G: now you have to fear every other flurry rock/psiblast mob
G: straps breaking on eq really changed things for me
G: i have to do cash areas more then big areas alot now
G: just isnt my style to do cash runs
G: i love HHH/crater/dome runs

L98: What was the worst time to play?

G: when it was tdome3
G: i liked the concepts..but body points really blew ass

L98: What is your favorite zone and why?

G: i enjoy wz the most
G: it challenges me...
G: i never know when i go there if im gonna get looted or not
G: thats for my crew at least
G: when i group i like the dome and crater
G: although load rates stink..its still a rush everytime i headbutt lifetaker or madmax

L98: If you could change anything about TDome, what would it be?

G: id find a way to get more newbies to play
G: at the moment its the old players...
G: the economy is stale

G: need newbies and we need to adjust repair costs on straps/eq

L98: What do you like the most about TDome?

G: The people around here
G: got an immortal staff that is fun
G: they fuck with yah and it makes it fun
G: I like the fact one day im badass and the next i could dt
G: People around here are always up for carnage too
G: back in the day i died i would ask for con cash as a tank
G: now i die and i just hope i get my eq back :P
G: gang atm too help alot
G: for the first time in a long while arena and legend are getting along
G: makes it alot easier knowing i got friends at all hours of the day now

L98: Do you like to group? Why?

G: i like to group when im looking for large mobs to kill.
G: when im alone i tend to die alot less and make alot more cash.
G: partly due to when i group its crater/dome/hhh/striker/anvil etc
G: its becoming hard to group and make enough to live at times.
G: certain people have there benefits too
G: when someones got the firepower i got...
G: im more comfortable
G: Im always up for helping though...
G: ive gotten a bad rap for being an ass over the years
G: but if yah know me you know ill help

L98: When a group gets loot, how should it be distributed?

G: i like the idea of looking at who needs it in the group first
G: eq the main char of everyone first is my idea
G: when people say i need that for my multi it pisses me off
G: because theres someone in the group with hunters armor and a multi gets a ppas
G: they take the same risk
G: there reward should be the same.
G: once that happened drawing numbers seems to work well
G: gems etc..cash items split amongst who died
G: another thing too...
G: if yah get a ppas and you trade out refrakting armor or sumtin..
G: give the refrakting armor to the group
G: why not?
G: it just became a cash item is all

L98: In TDome, what are you most proud of?

G: Id have to say the day my crew did voltron in the technodome
G: i was turned down bye arena because i would never be beneficial to the gang
G: thats what my mail said from cheroch.
G: when i did voltron it proved im beneficial to any gang
G: proved alot to myself.
G: becoming a jacker was special too.
G: for 4 years i sat and wondered what it meant
G: now i know...its a certain level of respect i took away from it
G: jackers got it rough and i try to help em as much as i can now
G: few people did what yuo did giving us all 100k
G: to us that showed someone knew how hard it was
G: jackers really need to be adjusted...maybe have a multi
G: there getting slaughtered and now there isnt any

L98: Your quest for booze and pussy has been in progress for many years now.
L98: After all this time, do you think you are any closer to your goal?

G: well i havnt got screwed bye anyone but tork...
G: but i liked that...
G: my goal was to make some friends and have a good time
G: ive done that pretty well now
G: few people have what i have and thats the fact i can get help at 3am or noon
G: now its more of hangin out with the guys more then getting new eq

L98: On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how much do you slack?

G: since i can only play on the weekends now do to school/work and clinicals...
G: and going out drinking on teh weekends...
G: gotta say ive been slacking about a 6 level
G: i dont got any new eq...
G: that says alot
G: now im just making clam/castle hitters
G: so i can slack more and let them do the work

L98: Tell me about some of the things you do IRL.

G: well im in my 3rd year of respiratory therapist school
G: i live in Minnesota...the lake is 15 feet from my front door.
G: i fish alot...hunt...do all the hick things
G: when i get a chance too i play tennis in the summer.
G: of course party is a neccessity
G: i believe ive logged on here drunk more then once
G: i love makin an ass of myself..and what better place :)
G: i dont get alot of time around work/school/clinicals
G: im usually pretty tired
G: so i like to gang here
G: hang even

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

G: a respiratory therapist in california or florida
