What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?
Sent the wrong message to the wrong person on icq and email.
If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be and why?
I would be the most happy person ever with positive thoughts and inspiration for all. Is there such a person? I don't know. Only character I really think I admire the most was my Grandmother who passed away in 1968. She was a mother of 10.....raised them for the most part without a husband and was a grand lady. She taught me about love for others, and love for God. She was so very dear to me and even now after all these years she is embedded in my heart as the person I admire the most.
If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be and why?
I don't know that I would change anything as then it would not be me would it?
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?
Zandetta, Leeta, and Kali.......and can they bring three things too?
Diet Rite, Coffee and Chocolate.
Outpost History and Opinions
How long have you been a member of the Outpost?
February 98
How did you find out about it?
I have said this many times before. I was looking for a safe place for my girls to chat. Put Fantasy in the search engine and well you can imagine what it pullled up. So I put in Star Trek and there was the Outpost came in and set up a cot in Ten Forward.
What was your first impression of the Outpost?
When I first came here it was very very friendly. Everyone was nice and cheery and welcoming. Very few lamers and a older crowd more college and above members. Not being a shy person I jumped in head first and squeezed my way in to join the fun.
What persuaded you to keep chatting at the Outpost?
Well I wanted to make sue that it was what it appeared to be for my girls but I got hooked so Rae and Jinna and I made an agreement that we were not related when in the chat. However Steph Gorgas saw that we had the same ip. She started asking me questions. They thought that I was all three. I finally had to tell her that I was the mom and they were the daughters. Not sure she believed me but in time it all came out that we were related.
How much time do you spend chatting?
Use to chat a lot in the rooms but lately with all the V2 work and counseling online I don't get in as much as I would like to.
Do you think having departments is a good idea? Why or why not?
Yes, I think having different departments is a great idea. Each of the departments has a job to do and a different agenda to meet. It helps us have more of a concentration of the finer aspects of the community needs and also gives us healthy competition. We all love each other of course but we do love to tease each other. They know that Counseling RULEZ but like to say they do so we let them cause everyone knows the truth. *eg*
Do you participate in monthly contests for the Guilds? If yes, how often?
Put in submissions no. Participate yes of course as I am one of the ones that puts the html pages up and I do this everyone month as many days are are required.
What is your opinion on the Plan of the Future?
I don't think I can give an opinion at this time till I see how it all pans out. My main concern is that we not forget why we are here. That we not forget our friendships and be so involved in just work that we forget to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Being number one means little to me. I thought we already were because of the worldwide exposure and the intricate web we have woven with each other. But I shall be open and neutral. I shall do all I can to help us be a success just don't forget the members without them we are nothing.
What do you think of the changes being made to the community (Creation of a new department, merging of departments, general organization, etc.)?
I am assuming here that you really want to know my opino. I hope that is the case. It is all rather overwhelming I admit that. It is hard work and taking longer than any of us expected it to. There are problems with all new ideas and implementations but that should be expected. If I had complaints it would be that we all need to exercise patience that means seniors, departments, staff and members. We need to allow things to settle into place. I think we, the SM's, should have been privvy to more of the implementation information as perhaps that would have calmed some things down as they were laid into place and avoided some of the problems we had. I am grateful for one person during this transition and that is Kali who was always there for the Sm's and without her I would hate to think of all the misconceptions that we would have had. Due to her concise way of handling things, her being available for us always and her people skills at explanation she made the job more bearable for us all.
If you could open another chat room in the Outpost, what theme would you choose?
SimMax Theater, what did you expect after waiting for over two years? It would solve simming issues. Be there for both ENT and Actors' Guild, be there for special events, trivia, interview with authors etc. The most special aspect being that we would have access to avatars that would enhance our simming and events nights that would really make it more fun. We are still waiting.
Outpost future
If you could play a practical joke on Admiral Andrew Maxwell, what would it be?
Let's see something refreshing and cooling would be good.........Okay build the Outpost Pool and private Jacuzzi making it capable of drag and drop characters such as the admirals ....this is for seniors officers only. In the water you can put different effects in.....jello, slime, pudding, bubble bath, mud, and last but not least ICE CUBES, That would be my choice a dump truck of ice cubes to keep the Admirals cool!
If you could have the Admiral's command code and access to all the pages for a day, what would you do?
Declare a NO WORK day and demote anyone that does not go in the chat and play.
If you were given access to the Admiral's handbag for a day, what would you do?
Put chocolate kisses, and reese's peanut butter cups in there for Andrew to snack on later.
Who should be the next Outpost Admiral and why?
Sean Connery cause he is older, has played many character parts, he is handsome and the more mature ladies love to listen to his voice.
What do you think is an acceptable bribe to offer for the next Admiral's position?
I won't give a bribe for the next Admiral's position. It should be someone that is around alot and seen and someone that can break the tie on votes. They should also like Chocolate.
Are the Admiralty really Sith Lords in disguise? (Remember, there are always two of them!)
No they have to be neutral so they can't be SW only, therefore it is more likely they are from another realm.......I think they are Black Dragons.
If there were mutiny in the Outpost, who would you follow?
The Wizard down the yellow brick road.
Is Babel really a Time Lord?
Babel? Didn't he use to come here long ago? I have not seen him for months and months. I think he was known as Dr. Schmoo....
Who is the true Boss Kitty: RDMG or KittyKat?
There is only one Boss Kitty and that is RDMG however she is not around much to claim her rightful place. So if KK gains on her well.....RG you better start being seen again.
What colour robes suit Darth Damos best?
Mmm let's see here has light skin and red hair so should be complimentary. Red and Green........Bright Green that is the ticket.
What is a Teekador?
Captain Cutie..........???? or maybe it is a new species of Dragon???
What does C.T. stand for?
Justice and Fun for All....oh you mean the initials? Crazzzzzy Texan
What does J.J. stand for?
Men are from earth, women are from earth too. So Deal with it. Jiggling Jabberwocky.
Final say
Do you have any further comments on Outpost 10F or this interview?
There should have been a blank place for us to write in answers that were not available on the list or you give us or none of the above.
For instance I do not like having an affiliation as we are now global so I prefer to state I am global. I do not have a favorite chat for that reason as the chat is not why I go there but for the members. And finally I can not rate the interview because none of answers fits my thoughts. Extensive was not there LOL
