Q: How did you get your name?
A:
Ulme is my RL nickname (or one of them, rather). I think
it's taken from a cartoon viking that used to be on
Swedish television when I was pretty young.
Q: How old are you?
A:
13 weeks, 4 days, 8 hours, 27 minutes on here :) soon 27 in real life.
Q: What level are you?
A:
1000, both here and in real life ;)
Q: How would you describe yourself?
A:
Hmmm. I am kind and forgiving, a bit lazy when it comes to work
that I have no passion for. Unfortunately that is what happened
here on AoD - I lost my passion for it a few years ago
and resigned. I have a hard time handling failure.
I joke a lot. Oh, and I rock ;)
Q: Where do you live?
A:
In my workroom, specially designed to grant comfort to
my lazy self :) In real life I currently live in Stockholm - Sweden.
Q: How long have you been logging on to AoD?
A:
Ever since I managed to configure the driver and the
library for the first time... now when was that?
Probably around -97 or so :)
Q: How did you first get in contact with Ages of Despair?
A:
I was in vacation in Spain and came up with the idea
of mixing good ideas from existing muds that I liked
together with my own ideas :) I wrote them down on a
few pieces of paper, more and more as I came up with
more ideas. Eventually when I came back home I started
to work on it. I guess that's how I got on contact with it =)
Q: What does it feel like to be the god from which
all life originated?
A:
Oh did you just create that question for me? I feel honored,
hehe. To be completely honest, I am proud that AoD
has become so popular - even if it perhaps has become
less popular lately than it used to be. But I also feel
guilty that I haven't helped out as much as I should have
- but I can't work on something that bores me to death :)
I still love logging on and chatting, even though
I don't code anymore.
Q: Are you a normal mudder, or do you seldom log on?
A:
I log on pretty rarely, usually when I am bored and start
to look for people to talk with. Other than that, I log on
briefly from time to time and check my mail and sometimes the boards.
Q: Have you met any fellow mudders in RL?
A:
Let me see... about 20-25 people that I didn't meet
in RL first, I met through the mud. That includes
people from other muds than AoD too though.
Or mostly from other muds, when I think about it :)
Q: Ok, I know you have lots of episodes from
those meetings... anything especially crazy
you would like to share?
A:
Tough one...
I would say the one time in Lulea, northern Sweden,
when the guys I was visiting got arrested for attempted
robbery. All they were really doing was playing
terrorists with their masquerade clothes/toy guns
outside a store while waiting for 2 other guys that
were going to buy their masquerade costumes for the
night in the same store :) It was fun to hear about
how between 4 to 6 police cars and a helicopter
had participated in that thing ;)
Actually they didn't get arrested, bad word.
They got interrogated though.
Q: What was your first kill and if you ever died, what
was the first thing that killed you?
A:
Oh I have no idea... One of the first might've
been Simon, both killer and victim.
Q: Did you ever get killed by a ("the") horrible creature?
A:
I think so, with my player character.
Q: Who is your favourite and most hated npc respectively?
A:
Favourite...
Ulme looks at you.
You blush.
You say: Why thank you.
Most hated, dunno... the horrible creature mentioned
previously perhaps =)
Q: What is the most funniest/strangest thing that ever happened
to you on AoD?
A:
Well, I would have to say the numerous nights when I
have been drunk and online and just talking with people
I have no clue of who they are. I remember arena
fights, c4-bouts and stuff like that.
Q: Do you have any piece of equipment you just can't live without?
A:
Yes indeed :) Largo the Gnome. He is my best friend.
But he is not really living - thus equipment.
Q: Do you have a "special place" where you like to hang out,
A private corner so to speak?
A:
My workroom :) It's the only place on the mud where I
can be sure that I get my privacy.
Q: What is the best thing about Ages of Despair?
A:
There are a lot of nice players (and wizards) here that
are fun to talk with. I have some old friends here that
I can speak with from time to time, whenever we are
logged on at the same time.
Q: What is the worst thing about Ages of Despair?
A:
That is one question that I would like to keep unanswered.
It's not about disliking one or more people - that's for sure.
Q: Is there any advice you would like to give to
new players that have just entered our world?
A:
Yeah be nice to people, and the people here will be nice to you :)
Q: Were you ever convicted of a crime?
A:
Nope :)
Q: How many friends/family play?
A:
Well I am not sure how many that still plays. I would count
Lalli and Deathstalkr, but I doubt that more people
than that, that I know in rl, play here still :)
Q: Favourite quote?
A:
Favourite quote, from the Simpsons:
"There is NO emoticon for what I am feeling right now"
Q: Is there anything else you would like to mention about
yourself or your life?
A:
If people are interested, feel free to ask :)
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:
I guess I would remove the one about what I disliked with AoD,
since thats the only one I didn't want to answer. Now
what question would I add? Hm. Hmm. Hmmm. Ok clueless :P Sorry
Q: Do I have your permission to make this information public
on the People of AoD website or any other media?
A:
Well sure, if you add this banner to... No? Ok then go ahead.
