Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)
A. I think it is fine for the people too lazy to actually play the game. I mean it is /their/ money they are blowing to both "play" the game and race to get the best stuff with more money. The down side is, it can be discouraging to ppl who play AND it can trash the game economy, ruining the fun for everyone. They need to have "Yah, I am Lazy!" servers where ppl who buy gear/money can go to brag about their lvl 10 having the high-end, super rare sword.

A. Not many. I tune out when they start because I feel my IQ die a little inside at the sight of one.

Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. Yes. As long as ppl are honest, it strips away a lot of what makes ppl shy and wary, so you kind of get to the meat of what the person is about. And if you type rather than vent, you have to think a little before you pound out words. You can also tell a lot from well-placed silences.
Q. What music do you like to play games to? (Answer!)
A. Game music, if it is good - if not, then I play whatever my mood dictates.
Q. What are your favorite tabletop (RPG, board, miniatures, etc.) games? (Answer!)

Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose? (Answer!)
A. The novel my bf and I wrote :D It would be a fantasy mmorpg.
Q. Have you ever had a romantic encounter with someone you met in a game? (Answer!)
A. Trick question. In rp, romance sometimes occurs to forward the story. Otherwise, no...I mean sure there are guys who WANT bawdy chat and rather personal pictures, but I find that kind of creepy.
Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I tried it. I end up oogling how cute the avatar is and never end up playing.
Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. The three stooges on DOS. And then there was Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. The game had been given to me, but I didn't play it - my little brother, though, would sneak into my room and play! Oh that made me mad.
Q. If you could meet any game developer, who would it be? (Answer!)

A. Behindthename.com or other research.
