Q: How did you get your name?
A: Well thats easy. Its um my middle name.
Q: How old are you?
A: In rl I'm in my early 20's. Here I'm 23 weeks and 5 days.
Q: What level are you?
A: I'm currently stuck at level 80.
Q: How would you describe yourself?
Ruth laughs.
A: Silly... both here and irl. And caring too I suppose.
Oh and I love to think here most of all.
Q: Where do you live?
A: Well my heart lives with them cowgirls and cowboys in Texas,
but currently residing somewhere in the northeast.
On the mud I live with a wonderful landlady and friend, Lalli.
Q: How long have you been logging on to AoD?
A: Waaaaaay too long.
Ruth . o O ( since... 2000...Febuary or March ).
Almost 3 years.
Q: How did you first get in contact with Ages of Despair?
A: How. Through google.
My brother and I had somehow talked about muds and I got
a bit curious... so I did a search.
This was at the top of the search results I believe.
Q: Are you a normal mudder, or do you seldom log on?
A: Well I log on daily so I think that probably would make me a normal mudder.
Q: Have you met any fellow mudders in RL?
A: Yeah. I got together with most of the people in NY that USED to play here *chuckles*.
Not very many of them play here anymore..
Q: What was your first kill and if you ever died, what
was the first thing that killed you?
A: Oh man. I don't remember my first kill.. its been too long.
Maybe a kobold. I didn't want to waste time on puny mice and stuff.
I was killed on the kobold farm.
But by what I don't think I remember exactly either.
Q: Did you ever get killed by a ("the") horrible creature?
A: Yes and it was horrible! lol I actually thought
I was gonna survive...but I died fleeing.
Q: Who is your favourite and most hated npc respectively?
A: Hmmm. That rascally wandering druid. I want his amulet.
I feel bad for hating a fellow druid though.
Q: Do you have any favourite npc?
A: Hmm I guess I'd have to say... Greentwig since he is my druid master =)
Q: What is the most funniest/strangest thing that ever happened
to you on AoD?
A: Strangest things I've ever seen mostly have to relate
to Ordred cause well you know, he is STRANGE P.
Funny.... hmm I should think about that, but there
have been a lot of funny things.
Ruth . o O ( I have a poor memory for remembering specific things though. ).
I think everytime I mess up and say when I mean to
think and think every time I mean to say is pretty funny though.
Q: Do you have any piece of equipment you just can't live without?
A: Ruth . o O ( my two leather staves, but not because
I need them to exp and stuff... I just like them too much.
All my eq is mostly gained by parties with friends so they
all have a special meaning in a way, specially since most of them are gone. ).
Ruth blahs.
Most of my friends that is, not my eq.
Q: Do you have a "special place" where you like to hang out,
A private corner so to speak?
A: Well not really. I like being outside. I mostly idle
in my own house, thats a nice little grove, but I'm not
really attached to a specific room here.. IRL I
like hanging out on my computer =P.
Q: What is the best thing about Ages of Despair?
A: The care, and dedication by both players and wizards.
The sense of community... though it used to be stronger back in the day =)
Q: What is the worst thing about Ages of Despair?
Ruth . o O ( The fueds and issues that somehow come
up between mortals and wizards. Its depressing and
frustrating for everyone, and I really hate to see it happen. ).
Q: Have you ever engaged in so called "mudsex"?
Ruth chuckles.
A: I think thats something I'll keep to myself =)
Q: Favourite quote?
A: Ummmmmmmmmmm
Ruth . o O ( I could look up my favorite quote irl ).
But I don't have one here.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to mention about
yourself or your life?
A: Live long and prosper?
Always think.. and use your brain... like I do. its very helpful?
Q: I have to ask, I always see you thinking all the time...
are you a big thinker or what is going on in your mind?
A: I love thinking. I think thinking is very very important.
You can solve problems and everything if you think ;)
Of course you can't solve every problem in the world,
but you can at least understand them.
I like to understand things.
And figure things out. And find the truth in things as much as possible.
Almost like putting the pieces of life together...
Ruth . o O ( through thinking )
The funny thing is that I don't have think aliased
or anything so every time I think I'm actually spelling it out.
Ruth laughs.
Its like second nature to type think out these days.
Ruth . o O ( It all started too I think when I tried
to target think to someone and Nemesis liked the idea so
much that she asked me to submit the idea with newsoul ).
Ruth . o O ( From then on I decided I would only think ).
Of course I've already said like 10 answers in think instead of say.
Just goes to show how instinctual typing think is versus say.
I almost have think think to type say.. rather than
typing say naturally when I'm going to say something.
Q: If you could remove one of the questions from this
interview and replace it with another one, which would
you remove and what would you replace it with?
A: As fun as the question is =P probably the mudsex one lol..
And I guess I would ask... How many rl friends/family play?
My answer would be of course... that I have a brother
that plays, and my best friend has visited..
But thats about it. Of course now I have friends here
that I'm friends with irl but I don't consider it really the same.
Q: Do I have your permission to make this information public
on the People of AoD website or any other media?
A: No you don't.
=P I just wanted to have this interview for our own amusement! bahaha.
Of course you can =) otherwise I wouldn't have
agreed/asked to have an interview.
