(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Hey there, everybody! It's your old pal/archenemy/symbol-of-all-things-terrible Letty Whiterock, and it's time for my very own Ask-A-Staffer thread! I'm sure many of you have lots of questions, both ridiculous and personal, and I'm willing to answer just about anything truthfully and honestly. Maybe this will be a good way to restore our relationship as great friends! Or maybe you'll just hate me more. I thrive on the power that stems from either emotion. Also, I promised myself I wouldn't do anything gimmicky for this, but I threw all of that to the wind and now say "Let's just have fun, I guess!" |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/smiling.jpg) | [Letty] So let's enjoy ourselves for the next week, okay? |
So where are you these days, anyway?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/annoyed.jpg) | [Letty] I've been trying to survive. It may be foolish of me, but I live in an apartment with two (formerly three) unemployed people in which I cover most of the expenses via the income from my dead-end, minimum wage job. They're my friends, so I want to do my best to help them. I mean, they do help out when they can. At the same time, however, I can't seem to save money for myself and the things I personally need. It's a frustrating situation, but I soldier on. |
Why is your title different from the rest what makes you so cool WHY SO BLUE TEXT :V
In all seriousness though, What is your favorite hobby? Favorite game, And what brought you to this forum? Also, What made you into a mod? Clearly being an ice-cream flavour cant just give you the rights to modship the second you log in, correct?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/smiling.jpg) | [Letty] I guess I'll answer these in order! Being Minty isn't easy, but if you're wondering how I got there in the first place, it all started when an old forum I went to got temporarily shut down and was replaced with a small refuge forum. I registered the name "Trick Master Mint," named after my favorite Galaxy Angel character and her spaceship, and ran with it. After that, it just stuck. So I'm not actually named after an ice cream flavor but after a character who is named after an ice cream flavor! |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] As for the rest of these things! I have a different title because I needed access to the staff forum without being given any other positions of power. Did you know that "aqua" is not one of the listed font colors but still works? Quite well, in fact! My favorite hobby? Any sort of rhythm gaming. Music is my passion. I want to become an electronic artist, but I need to save up for the equipment. Also, I like writing! I don't remember how I found this forum or how I became a mod, but I can attribute the latter to wanting to see this place thrive and not wanting the rest of the world to see it as a joke. Sadly, some still do. |
Why does the userbase hate you? :<
I'll ask the question I meant to ask everyone else but didn't. How did you find out about Touhou?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] |
What does it feel like being named after the worst Galaxy Angel?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/mad.jpg) | [Letty] I'm sorry, but my name isn't Ranpha. |
Obligatory how did you find MotK?Obligatory how did you become a staff member?
Obligatory what DO you do here as staff? What's a Gensokyo Cop? What's your official type staffly duties?
My questions sound much better then some Mima faker. :P
Why do you consider a General Forum to be more important then TARC considering MotK is a Touhou forum?
Why Letty?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/anxious.jpg) | [Letty] My given duties here are debatable, but I began as a global moderator. I lost this position when I went Maverick and banned someone who attacked me without actually discussing it with the rest of the staff first. Since then, however, TSO and crew consider my input something worthwhile, so they keep me around. Now, I moderate the CPMC off-shoot "Letty Explains It All" AKA "This is where the Rage Thread is now." My "Gensokyo Cop" title is defunct; it was put in place just so I could still maintain access to the staff forum. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] It's not so much that I think a general discussion board is more important than a Touhou-centric board on a Touhou forum. It's that TARC runs fine as it is. It serves its purpose without gimmicks and provides a place for Touhou discussion. Our GD board, however, has been all over the place for the past months. We've been changing which board falls into the category, getting rid of other boards entirely, setting up mechanisms, and all sorts of stuff I find crazy. I've been forum-going for nearly half my life, and I find that a normal GD board is important. Many of the problems with our general discussion is that CPMC became GD due to our cliquey userbase, and rather than nip it in the bud, we didn't want to rock the boat and let it go. It just went out of control. In short, TARC doesn't need my focus, because there's nothing wrong with TARC as a board. GD, however, needs work. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/embarrassed.jpg) | [Letty] "Why Letty?" is a good question with a humorous story behind it. In the early days of #shrinemaiden, there was a quiz system in place. It would ask a question, Maullar would type it before anyone else, and points were awarded (to him, because he's a jerk with a desk job). Eventually, I picked a random character, which happened to be Letty, and would copy/paste her name as the answer, no matter what the question. The one time I did not do this, "Letty Whiterock" was the answer, and I was awarded a point out of pity. I then just changed my name to Letty Whiterock to continue the joke. I eventually just adopted it and discovered that Letty really is one of the best characters in the series. Can't argue that! |
Why are you so universally reviled? It's as though you hold the least likable opinion on every subject anyone ever cares about.
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/anxious.jpg) | [Letty] No doubt my vitriol has a lot to do with that. I have/had rage issues. I include "had," because I've taken a lot of friendly advice to heart and tried to better myself as a person. This, of course, includes not being the ball of hatred and spite many of you have come to know. Interestingly enough, I'm really only that way online (for the most part). Outside of the internet, I only get that way I feel like a lot of unnecessary pressure is being put on me. This happens a lot at work when I'm constantly having to pick up the slack for other people's laziness. It frustrates me very easily. The other thing that has a lot to do with it is my argumentative nature. I tend to play Devil's Advocate more than I should. I really need to learn how to choose my battles. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/annoyed.jpg) | [Letty] Let's be frank here. For one, people take things way too seriously sometimes. dustyjo, I'm calling you out here. Calm down. It'll be okay. Same for you, HakureiSM. I know we don't get along, but it's not a big deal. Two, I often feel that many decisions made here at MotK, on both the user and staff levels, are foolish ones. I'm very opinionated, but at the same time, I'm also well-informed (and willing to admit I'm wrong) on the subject of running an internet forum. I'm not perfect, but I know what I'm doing. Sometimes, I don't feel the same way about my colleagues. They can be quite stubborn at times, and more often than not, there are people here I don't think should be on staff and users that I don't think we should keep around. In addition, unlike many of them, I'm not afraid to speak my feelings and argue my points into the core of the planet, even though I know it usually won't amount to anything. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] This is the biggest reason people aren't fans of me. I'm brutally honest and can be damn harsh at times. There are times, though, when you have to be. People test your patience, and the only way they'll hear you is if you yell at them. Combine this, my argumentative nature, and my frustration with people and life as a whole, and you make enemies. I'm getting better, I think. I just wish people would listen to me more often. I don't want to seem arrogant, but more than once, I called the failings of CPMC's direction before it actually occurred. It hurt to be ignored, but it hurt more to watch my friends and colleagues scramble and play damage control. I really do care about this place and the people in it, even if they frustrate, sicken, or disturb me. In the end, you're people too, and my tyranny is all for the benefit of everyone. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/dominant.jpg) | [Letty] Also, Snowball Challenges need to come back. Sorry, but when someone screws up bad enough to warrant one, they need to made examples of and work for their salvation. Some of the best content comes from when they succeed, and afterward, you say "Ha ha, you're alright" and have strengthened a bond within the community. |
Why do you make the worst songs ever? Why are they such garbage? Why do you insist on continuing to make such awful music?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/mad.jpg) | [Letty] Most of them are your fault. I do, however, take full responsibility for this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6WeOfGoPg8), because it's awesome and you know it. |
I've got most of them strewn around on various CDs in my car to torture passengers with, though they're mostly there for my own enjoyment.
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/superhappy.jpg) | [Letty] Only you would enjoy those atrocities. |
What exactly are snowball challenges? I've never really heard of them until you mentioned them now, But I can only guess they're a much more extreme 'Idiot' Challenge?
Do you have any aspirations, anything to accomplish, etc etc?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Snowball Challenges are basically the Letty version of a SomethingAwful moderator challenge. Simply put, "moderator challenges are handed out to [posters] who break rules, usually threads with low content. Rule breakers are given the chance of avoiding a ban/probation and redeeming a otherwise bad thread by completing 1 of 3 (or all of 3) challenges relating in some way to the thread topic. If none of the challenges are met the OP is banned." Some amazing content has spawned from these, even here. However, they've been viewed as a form of "public humiliation" and were disallowed. It's sad, too, because this was hilarious to everyone (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,3355.30.html). |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/embarrassed.jpg) | [Letty] As far as aspirations go, I'm still trying to figure what my cutie mark is. Once I can actually get some capital behind me, I'd like to get back in school and look into the field of journalism. I enjoy writing and reporting about events, so I figure it'd be something I'd enjoy. Beyond that, I want to learn how to sew, I want to start making electronic music, I want to write a book, and I want to settle down in a happy, healthy relationship that I won't screw up. Dreams are good to have, yes? |
I don't really claim to know your mind, but is part of your opinion on CPMC/general discussion "the members need to get out of their gated community and actually socialize with the rest of the site"? If that's the case, I can agree with you.
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Something like that. That, and "use your heads." One of our biggest shortcomings (this applies to me as well) is that we don't think before we act. If we'd just use our minds to take a step at a time, we could do anything that we wanted to do, and it would prevent a ton of the problems we face today. Follow the rules, use common sense, and keep your cool. These three things make the forum a better place. My original CPMC rule thread was supposed to act as a preventative measure that would cause the userbase to branch out into other boards and not confine everything to CPMC and the clique. When these weren't followed, we as a staff failed to address it immediately. We all dropped the ball, and now we're here, dealing with an issue that wasn't originally difficult and simply became so. |
I thrive on the power that stems from either emotionAre you an incubator?
...Where'd you get those full sets of Letty Reactions? :wat:
Oh, also, why aren't you around as often as before, it sounds like you're still active- Just not talking as much, any particular reason for that?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/anxious.jpg) | [Letty] Well, aside from some drama that made me avoid this place like the plague, if you looked at my old forum statistics, I was literally here at all hours of the day, all the time. I really needed to get a life outside of the internet. I was also letting this place get to me emotionally, mostly out of frustration, so I just had to spend less time here. Since that decision, I've made a lot of new friends and have some very interesting weekends. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/smiling.jpg) | [Letty] As for my plethora of expressions, you have to know where to look! |
If I were to ever stop being a pretentious derp and attempt to get into some rhythm games that aren't from the Rhythm Tengoku series, where would be a good place to start?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] It really depends on what you're looking for! I'm a huge Bemani fan, so obviously I'd suggest anything from Konami's library, but truth be told, you'll be hard-pressed to find a Bemani music game to get into that won't kill your wallet through imports, aside from DDR, and I'm not sure that's what you're looking for. Honestly, this day and age, if you're looking for a non-arcade experience (dance games), play Rock Band. It's super fun and a perfectly fine rhythm game. If you want to go the Bemani route, I would suggest pop'n music. IIDX is way too difficult to start on, but pop'n is fun, colorful, and really easy to get into. Oh, and since you clearly play the DS, you owe it to yourself to play Elite Beat Agents and the Ouendan series. They're excellent rhythm games. I'm also a huge Hatsune Miku Project DIVA fan, so I can't suggest Project DIVA 2 on PSP hard enough. There are lots of choices. Find out what works best for you! |
Are you an incubator?

RKS battle royale. Who's left standing at the end?
Actually, why do you like RKS so much?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/superhappy.jpg) | [Letty] Grolla wins everything. I love her so. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Really, though, I've always loved Mega Man games, so finding RKS was a dream come true. It's nostalgic while still being its own thing, and everything is just fun. The thing that really brought me in overall was Grolla's storyline. I'm a huge fan of characters like her, such as Agrias Oaks from Final Fantasy Tactics and Signum from Nanoha A's. To be in control of an absolute badass girl who plays like one of my favorite platforming characters ever (Zero) essentially sold me on it. I think I may be the only person in the US that owns an original physical copy of that game. I don't know why I latched so hard to it, but it's my favorite game ever, and I probably won't let it go for a long time. |
So how about that Cirno?
What's the greatest challenge you've overcome in life?
Is winter your favorite season of the year?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/annoyed.jpg) | [Letty] Cirno's a jerk. It's canon that I feel this way. Look it up. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/melancholy.jpg) | [Letty] My two biggest obstacles that I've overcome are both, not surprisingly, very emotional. First was the failure of my first serious relationship, which I've come a long way from since, and the second was my parents' divorce. It's something else when you have to yell at your parents to keep them from shooting each other in the kitchen. I essentially had to learn how to move on and cope with life's hardships. And yeah, winter is the best time of year. I love the cold, and snow is too fun to pass up. |
How often do you visit arcades?
What was the greatest birthday gift you've ever received?
There's a spider the size of your hand on the ceiling. What do you do?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] I don't visit arcades as often as I like. Every so often, I can hit up one that's an hour away, but I end up having to pay more money that I'd like, and I just can't afford it. Greatest birthday present? Hmm... I honestly couldn't tell you. I've gotten many gifts from many wonderful friends and family members, so it's hard to put just one at the top. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/surprised.jpg) | [Letty] Sp-sp-sp-spider!? |
Why is Purvis your favorite?
Was there a defining moment where you started getting particularly concerned about the CPMC issue?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/anxious.jpg) | [Letty] Purvis isn't my favorite, silly! But you have to guess who is. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] CPMC hit maximum awful when the clique turned #touhou-meido into the official unofficial MotK IRC channel, completely ignoring #shrinemaiden and, essentially, anything outside of CPMC. This is really when things became troublesome, because aside from the little groups in TARC and the art boards (and RPG/UGW, of course), CPMC was the only truly active board on the site. Everything Else died. The Outside World died. No one wanted to leave CPMC, despite the clearly-stated rule that you probably should, and because this was not enforced and nothing was really done to handle the root of the problem, we still struggle with it to this day. But yes, that really marks the moment when CPMC went from "fun little Idiot Central" to "a problem full of actual idiots." CPMC is what made me start disliking the userbase, and sadly, I'm not alone in this. |
If I were to ever stop being a pretentious derp and attempt to get into some rhythm games that aren't from the Rhythm Tengoku series, where would be a good place to start?Hi, I missed this post.
I really have no idea if you're the best person to ask about this, but welp.
What's the best thing you've made out of snow?
Your love life as bad as mine?
What's your preferred method of relieving stress?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] A friend and I once made a snow Marisa, complete with spell card and "scorch marks" in the snow from a Master Spark. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/embarrassed.jpg) | [Letty] I can't answer that second one unless you post about your love life in my part of the forum! It'll help us get to know each other. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] As for stress relief, StepMania. |
Are you one of them there catgirls?
How big a con-goer are you, How 'tricked out' is your computer, andwhy am i your favouritewhat is your favourite thing to do on the internet?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/smiling.jpg) | [Letty] I'm not a catgirl, but I'm friends with at least one. She has a maid fetish. I'm not making this up. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] I don't go to very many cons. I hit up Anime Weekend Atlanta every year, but outside of the occasional one, that's it. I want to go to Otakon and the like, but MONEY. My computer is alright. I need a solid-state drive and some various upgrades. It can record 720p ITG videos, so that works for me! As for my favorite internet pastime, I love reading, be it threads, news articles, or wikis. I love absorbing useless knowledge. |
Who would win in a fight between Goku and Superman?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Which form of Goku, and which form of Superman? Both of these are important. |
Do you think there's any point to #touhou-meido existing in its current state? It seems a bit redundant to have both that and #shrinemaiden.
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/annoyed.jpg) | [Letty] People still use it? #touhou-meido serves a purpose, and that purpose is not a chat room for the CPMC community, so no, if the current state of the channel is that, I don't think there's a point. Why even have that name at all if it's not going to be used for Maid RPG gaming? |
Why is this the best goddamn font ever?

So, how's your love life stack up to mine? (I posted it for you to read)
How's the weather right now where you live?
What's your favorite food?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/annoyed.jpg) | [Letty] Our love lives can't really compare due to the situations. Forgive me for sounding callous, but you helped bring the outcomes on yourself in both instances. It's not that you did anything wrong, but you did exactly what you said you did. You took a gamble. Twice, actually. You spent quite a bit of money to travel across the country for something that wasn't sure-fire, and you proposed to a girl that, despite how long you've known her, you repeatedly dated and, I assume, for not very long. You gambled big when the odds were very much against you, but you were blinded by your emotions and didn't know any better. I've definitely strayed down that path. I think many of us have. Unfortunately, you took a leap of faith and found no ground. That said, I do feel for you. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] The weather is pretty normal. It's been hot and a little humid, but that's nothing a little swimming won't solve. I miss winter, though. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/embarrassed.jpg) | [Letty] You know, I find that I can eat myself sick on a good batch of chili. I once ate 14 bowls in a day. I had no regrets. |

Life beckons, sadly, but I will be back later today to handle this. There aren't too many days left, so if you have anything you want to ask, speak now or forever hold your peace! |
Why are you such a copycat? (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,9765.msg652796.html#msg652796)
Do you ever spend a lot of big money after a great achievement in life, or do you try not to use as much money as possible?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/smiling.jpg) | [Letty] The only copies here are these three copies (http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/copies.jpg). |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] After a big achievement, sometimes I'll treat myself, but I try never to splurge on anything. I have things I need to save up for. Sadly, I can't seem to save money, though, just because of my current living situation. |
Why would you not want to be angry? >:(
Why is AT3 one of the worst things ever created?
What is wrong with anime these days, and what would you like to see more of?
What is the best non-rhythm game you've played? The worst?
Why do we not talk more often?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Low blood pressure makes life livable, I think. Being mad just makes for living bad. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/mad.jpg) | [Letty] AT3 is what's wrong with anime today. It's no surprise to anyone that I like moe archetypes. However, one of the current moe trends, as we see with the AT series, is to pander. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of fanservice, but when a game series includes a "panic button" and has a loli that slowly loses clothes and gets cat ears and a tail for a special attack, there's a problem. We need less of that and more things like Madoka Magica. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Well, my favorite game is Rosenkreuzstilette, but if I had to pick a second, I'd probably go with Zone of the Enders. It has one of the best combat engines out there, and while the story is so very Kojima, I love just playing it. My dream game is a Sky Girls/Strike Witches crossover with the Zone of the Enders engine. Tell me that wouldn't be awesome. Worst game? I'm not in the market for terrible games, but Battle Arena Toshinden and Ehrgeiz are pretty atrocious members of my gaming library. Also, you can always hit me up on AIM, MSN, or GTalk, whichever you have. |
If you could live in any foreign country for a year, which would it be?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] I'm going to go the weeaboo route and say Japan, only because it's the only foreign country I'm most familiar with in my studies. The UK, Australia, and Canada would be easy choices due to the lack of a language barrier, but Japan as a country fascinates me. I've heard many stories about how broken their society is and can be, and I'd love to experience various aspects of the culture to see everything first-hand. It's one of the only foreign countries that I really have any desire to visit that I would feel safe and comfortable living in for an extended period of time. Also, I have a few friends in Japan, so that would make my stay a little cozier. |
Thunderstorms: love 'em or hate 'em?
Ever seen a tornado before?
Ever been in a weather related disaster/emergency situation before?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] I love stormy weather, as long as it's not knocking out power and internet. We apparently get tornadoes a lot around here, and the local campus has a tornado alarm for the occasion. I've yet to experience one myself, though. As for weather disasters, there was this one time that we had a heavy blizzard in April or May. For whatever reason, winter wouldn't end. This isn't a Touhou joke. This happened. I think when I was living overseas that I may have been in an earthquake, but I would've been too young to remember it. |
You had a life? I thought we were all goasts here.

Fireball Drossel or Fireball Charming Drossel?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/embarrassed.jpg) | [Letty] That's actually pretty tough. Both are equally awesome. Her Charming design bothered me at first, but it seems to be just as amazingly expressive as the original. I think I still have a soft spot for original Drossel, though, mostly because I have her figma. I can't imagine getting a Charming Drossel figma to stand would be very fun. I really wish I had the special edition Christmas Drossel. She had rocket skis. |
Are we likely to see Freudenstachel before we die or turn into bitter old men?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Assuming you haven't done the latter, RKSF progress is kinda crazy right now. WOMI's been doing some serious work, so there's no doubt that if you don't magically see it by August, you'll see it in December. |
At what point do chivalry and equality of the sexes clash?
What is your opinion on the current trends in government?
Would you kill a human being in defense of another?
If you could call a rose by any other name, what would it be?
How many unique names are listed in the song "Mambo No. 5" (without looking up the lyrics)?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/annoyed.jpg) | [Letty] Chivalry is dead. Many remnants of its original values remain, but it's an obsolete virtue in this day and age. As a result, the only thing that will clash with the concepts of sexual equality are primitive prejudices and the inaccurate mindset that either gender is weaker than the other, assuming you don't already think that gender is nothing more than a social construct. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/anxious.jpg) | [Letty] Politics are not my forte, but many trends I notice in the higher echelons of society and political environments are all governed by the same basic principle: the deadly sin of greed. While absolute power corrupts absolutely, even moderate power brings moderate levels of corruption and a desire for more. While it's not true of all figures, it has been a common trend for centuries to watch those in higher political positions strive to line their own pockets at the expense of the people they speak for and help govern. These despicable actions are a poison that seeps slowly into the world around us, and as a result, not only this country but our world as a whole is in danger of total collapse. It's a sad truth. Also, I think it's hilarious to see headlines where "Democrats are putting pressure on Weiner." |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/melancholy.jpg) | [Letty] A touchy subject. It all depends on circumstance, but I think I am just as capable as any other in killing someone in self-defense or in defense of another. It's not my first option, of course, because I am a pacifist by nature, thanks to some of the martial arts training I received when I was younger. Or I could just go the comedy option and say that I could kill anyone with my Hanzo-steel katana, for I know not what fear is, as long as I don my three-wolf moon shirt and have enough Mountain Dew flowing through my veins to keep me on the upper edge of human transcendence. That might be more accurate. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] I'd call it a climbed. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Let's see... If I call the lyrics from the chorus properly, there are seven names with a theoretical eighth if "you" is actually in reference a Chinese name and a theoretical ninth if being with the previous eight girls makes him viable for you, the listener. |
I'd call it a climbed.
Why do you prefer to be brutally honest as opposed to sugarcoating something?
For the record, it's a trait I like in people, even when I'm looking for sympathy
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
What's your main motivation in life?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Sometimes, it's the only way people will listen. I don't do crazy things. I'm a very boring person. I did get run over by a car once. Main motivation? Probably my significant other (which I do not have). I tend to justify myself and my existence by my position in love. It's dangerous. |
Have you considered posting your heated arguments in aqua font with Letty's picture beside them?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/embarrassed.jpg) | [Letty] I can't say I haven't considered it. It'd be pretty humorous in a way. Maybe I should post like this all the time! (I will not post like this all the time.) |
What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, looking back on it?

Are you a mod or admin on a site other then this? How many forums that you once went to have either died out or just became shit?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Getting involved with someone I knew better than to get involved with. I know better spells than that. I'm a moderator-type person on BemaniStyle, sort of. I've been to many forums, and they either never evolved, went into a direction I didn't like, or became awesome and I still post there. Too many to count and describe. |
What's the one thing you could do to make the world a better place? (Doesn't matter how big or small, just be realistic)
Would you call yourself a hopeless romantic?
Do you like cute things? How many "cute things" do you own, if any, and what are they?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/embarrassed.jpg) | [Letty] I decided that if I ever win the lottery, before I did anything with it, a large percentage would go to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital Fund. I think that counts. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] I am, without a doubt, a hopeless romantic. It's almost sickening how cheesy and ridiculous I can be. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/superhappy.jpg) | [Letty] Cute things are the best, I think. I have a Haruhi-chan Yuki Nagato plushie that oozes adorable awesome. |
Where are you getting all these pictures of Letty?
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/anxious.jpg) | [Letty] Time to reveal the secret. It's a Letty expressions chart I found on Safebooru. Figured it'd be perfect for this. |
(http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g357/MintMania2DX/lettyexpressions/normal.jpg) | [Letty] Well, that wraps up this week's edition of Ask-A-Staffer. I hope everyone enjoyed it, and I hope we all learned something new! Stay tuned for the next episode where we actually find out if Goku can defeat Superman or if such a battle is all for naught! The clue is there! See you next time! |
