What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?
Hmmn... I don’t embarrass easily, so therefore anything that has embarrassed me probably isn’t suitable to publish. *g*
If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be and why?
The Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man. Anything that can be both cute and evil at the same time has got to have some life!
If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be and why?
I would change the desire to want to change. I’m much better at being me than I used to be, though, I’ve had more practice for one thing. I’ve also seen some the alternatives, and suddenly I seem pretty great. :P
If you were to be stranded on a tropical deserted island and could bring 3 things (or people) with you what (or who) would they be?
1. Jeremy, because I can’t light fires or erect temporary shelters or win immunity challenges. And because he has a TARDIS. (Oh, and of course, I love him!)
2. I wouldn’t need anything else ‘cause I LIVE on a deserted tropical island. :P Well, a troppo island anyway...
Outpost History and Opinions
How long have you been a member of the Outpost?
Since the end of Feb 2001
How did you find out about it?
I went looking for a Star Trek chat room, and 10f was top of the search list.
What was your first impression of the Outpost?
Well I did this really funny one where I stuck two bananas up my nose and pretended to be a walrus...
What persuaded you to keep chatting at the Outpost?
At first, I had to keep returning to find out if Todd really was Jabba the Hutt, but then I fell in love with a Time Lord and the darn TARDIS kept dematerializing in the Outpost. He said it was purely coincidental, but I’m not so sure.
How much time do you spend chatting?
Hardly any at the moment, actually, though it fluctuates.
Do you think having departments is a good idea? Why or why not?
I think it’s a good idea. The departments form an integral part of the Outpost, they make us more than just another chat room. I think it’s great that members get to put something back into the Outpost, hopefully it makes them appreciate it more and in many cases it also allows them to develop skills they may otherwise not have had the opportunity to develop. Mostly I think they really help establish the sense of community the Outpost enjoys, by allowing members to feel that their contributions are valued and essential to the success of the Outpost.
Do you participate in monthly contests for the Guilds? If yes, how often?
I used to participate in the poetry and trivia comps, but I haven’t done so for a while.
What is your opinion on the Plan of the Future?
Well if a community is to survive, it needs to grow and in order to grow it needs to change from time to time. The Outpost had reached the point where changes had to be implemented, and of course it was a very good idea for them to write it all down in a plan.:p Could have got messy otherwise.
What do you think of the changes being made to the community (Creation of a new department, merging of departments, general organization, etc.)?
Ditto above answer. Sometimes change is necessary even if it’s not welcomed by all. I would say the Outpost is better organized now than when I joined. That’s not to say it was badly organised then, but things have improved as they’ve needed to. Full merit points and a box of chocolates to all those involved.
If you could open another chat room in the Outpost, what theme would you choose?
A Dr Who chat would be great, maybe then I could finally find a TARDIS that works and escape this mad place! *g*
Outpost future
If you could play a practical joke on Admiral Andrew Maxwell, what would it be?
I’d put a question on the yearbook interview asking people what kind of practical joke they’d play on him. That’d get him really paranoid. *snickers*
If you could have the Admiral's command code and access to all the pages for a day, what would you do?
1. Install Babel as the new Bigknob in Charge of Life, the Universe and Everything.
2. Demote myself to General Dogsbody.
3. Hang a huge “Outpost10f loves Henri” banner in every chat room.
4. Declare Todd’s beer belly an international health hazard and send in the marines.
5. Ban PeeVee for a whole day and see how long it takes him to crack.
6. Turn everything pink and purple.
7. Plead insanity and swear that the voices made me do it.
If you were given access to the Admiral's handbag for a day, what would you do?
Run. Quickly. In the opposite direction.
Who should be the next Outpost Admiral and why?
Babel, so I could be the real power behind the throne. *g*
What do you think is an acceptable bribe to offer for the next Admiral's position?
One Type-40 TARDIS, slightly used.
Are the Admiralty really Sith Lords in disguise? (Remember, there are always two of them!)
Oh yes... yes indeed.
If there were mutiny in the Outpost, who would you follow?
The yellow brick road...
Is Babel really a Time Lord?
Oh yes, and I should know.
Who is the true Boss Kitty: RDMG or KittyKat?
RDMG, KK is the Purple People Eater. :P
What colour robes suit Darth Damos best?
A think a nice shade of puce, perhaps...
What is a Teekador?
A mischievious little sprite found in Germany. Has a penchant for socks.
What does C.T. stand for?
He stands for freedom and equality for all! As long as people do as he says. *g*
What does J.J. stand for?
Because she’s tired of sitting down?
Final say
Do you have any further comments on Outpost 10F or this interview?
As far as the Outpost goes, I think this has been an exciting year for many reasons, and I have every reason to believe the next year will be even better. In regards to the interview, I bow down to Shyva, Mistress of the Interviews. Yes, she’s responsible. *ducks behind a bush*
