Interview with CL6 Gates

Describe yourself in 3 words.
An old-school OTFer.

Who would you shoot with a level two, just for fun?
In addition to whom I've already shot out? Hmmm..... XgermZ, AJ, or

If you were in charge for 10f for one day, what would you do?
I honestly have no idea....

If you could be any OTFer for a day, who would you be?
Iain.

Instead of a Captain Picard day - who would there be a day for in 10f?
Gates Day. Yeah, I'm going there.

When did life begin at 10f for you?
During beta testing before launch.

What's your favorite change that has occurred since you've arrived?
Including more franchises. Just being Star Trek was limiting membership.

Are you nostalgic about the 'old' 10f? which parts?
I miss members that aren't around any more. Zantor, Amanda, Christy, so on....

Any suggestions for future changes you would like to see?
Nope, not really.

Which departments/teams have you worked in and with?
I was high up in Entertainment back in the day. I was also in ISA for a bit. I miss the Trivia Team so much.

Who were some of your best friends when you were a new member?
Andrew, who invited me from Spooky's.

Have you met any members in real life? What was it like?
Yes, I have. It was amazing! It was like seeing friends I'd known forever. I had the most amazing time in my life meeting OTFers.

Of the members you haven't met who do you want to meet up with?
Soran, Andrew and Tanya.

If you could buy any member of 10f a beer, who would it be?
I've bought drinks for several OTFers, but one that I haven't been able to buy one for is Soran.

What themed room would you add to 10f?
True Blood!!!! I just want to be able to use a Pam avatar.

What is the best and the worst thing about 10f?
The best is the community. The fact that we travel the world to meet our friends. The worst is when someone you made a connection with leaves and you don't hear from them again.

How would you describe 10f to outsiders?
We're a group of people that love the same things. It doesn't matter that it's sci-fi. We have built a community here that accepts everyone who loves what we love.

Why do you think 10f has lasted so long?
See Q17.

Best memory of this past year?
I've missed so much.

What is your personal message for the yearbook [2013]?
I've been here from the beginning and will be here till the end. I may disappear for a while, but I'll always be back. OTF is a very special place. OTF is the place I go when I feel alone. I know I can find a friend here.
