Ask a Staffer Ep. 6 - Purvis
« on: March 23, 2011, 09:55:11 AM »
Why hello there! Yes, it's time for yet another round of asking me questions to help expand your understanding of the world. You'll notice, however, that the mobile clinic is not here. This would be because I shall not be seeing patients at this time, and not because the clutch has rusted out. But related to this, I would like to introduce my newly obtained assistant I won in a poker game up in the Missouri railyards.

Viddy up, my droog. We'll have a clutchy-wutch right on the way! Don't mind the krovvy stains on it, I hope you won't.

Lovely! But in particular, we are fishing for staffer questions. Others will be entertained, but do try not to be offended if I am not free with normally harmless personal details. I am a private person in a lot of respects. But this said, go to it! The worst I can say is no. Oh, and try not to get too close to my nurse. She has a problem with not shanking people.

With all the unrest currently in the Middle East, aren't you worried about it spreading through your city centrally located country?   
Do you subscribe to any conspiracy theories?  Is there one in particular that is so outlandish that it just tickles you pink to think about it?
What got you started volunteering on election days?  Do you volunteer on election campaigns as well?
Why am I your favorite?
Do you do any writing outside of your games?

Heheh, the only thing that'll get the chelloveks in Neohio in the streets causing unrest is marchin' to get rid of that dang "illegals". If their prejudices ain't involved in right-wing causes, they're too appy-thetic on the whole.

Do you subscribe to any conspiracy theories?  Is there one in particular that is so outlandish that it just tickles you pink to think about it?

To be honest, I find The Bush Administration Let 9/11 Happen hard to discount, given how at least one major right wing think tanks openly called for a new Pearl Harbor as a uniting event. But it's also not difficult to believe things were just fumbled on the intelligence level. As for outlandish ones? There's so many! Chemtrails, David Ickes Lizardmen, Ron Paul '08, Fluoridation concerns, HAARP. The list goes on!

What got you started volunteering on election days?  Do you volunteer on election campaigns as well?

Two things: Firstly the money was helpful in a time when I really needed it. But also because my Grandma had been doing it since before I was born, and instilled in me the idea that it's just something people should do.

Why am I your favorite?

Because you are my dawg. Remember last year, when I was tripped out on anesthesia and went into the drunbk thread to praise your name, and didn't remember doing it later on? That's why.

Do you do any writing outside of your games?

Rarely, anymore. I find it very frustrating to try and craft scenes or dialogue to my personal standards. As such, it's seldom easy to force myself to want to do it anymore. Despite all appearances to the contrary, I try to hold myself up to a professional standard.

Never you rasoodock the dyslexia!

I think for supper I will beat you with a board.

Yes!

How'd you run into Touhou? MotK, for that matter?

Mostly via iichan. I used to hang out on /azu/, back in the mid to late aughts, and would look around the other boards, and I'd always see it.  Then one day, I IMed my old buddy E-mouse after some time of silence, and asked him about some Mother series things (I had recently completed Mother 3 and Earthbound, and had some things to quiz him on.) Then I asked him what he was up to, he told me he'd been hanging around here and poosh, so I asked him for the details. Soon after, when I got around to trying PCB (having cut my teeth on rRootage and Warning Forever prior), I really got into it; from there he introduced me to various doujins. Couple months later, I asked him about that forum he kept mentioning, and dropped in one 3 AM. It was the most important day in this forum's history.

Do you predict Purvis will ask you if he is your favorite?
Are you my favorite?
Are you your favorite?

But of course!

Is it a good idea to make decisions based on favoritism?

  That depends on the decision, don't you think? For instance, decisions related to makeouts most definitely involve high degrees of favoritism under normal circumstances.


So anyway, how'd you come up with a name like Purvis?

It began in the heady days of the '96 election, when I would do a generic old man impersonation of Bob Dole. Later, as the election ended, I continued to do it as a generic old man. My Dad, easily amused by memes of all sorts, quickly labeled this Uncle Pervy. The name has stuck with me since, mutating in various ways.

Aggression is for people smarter than me who can properly calculate and weigh risks. Besides, I've not had much luck in getting plans I consider actually green-lighted. So I'll just take it easy, until I don't.

Easy mode, or no?

I like to think I'm a normal mode player, but I can't get anywhere in SA, UFO, or GFW's normals. Cleared everything in ESoD, PCB, IN, PoFV (with continues =[), and MoF's normals, though.

If you cant do the thing I just asked, Can I at least have a shotgun? It's totally not related to pesco or anything... :V

Why do you call it "Neohio"? What's "neo" about it?

Why do you hate punk rock?

I can never seem to decide between waffles or crepes for breakfast. How should I remedy this?
