Ask a Staffer Ep. 12 - Edible.

[Edible]

Get your questions on.  I'll be here all week.

I ain't got no fancy gimmicks, sidekicks, theme shticks or mind tricks.  I only got answers.

[Jana]

Aw yeah.

How do you like your current job?

[Edible]

How do you like your current job?

Great management, competent coworkers, nice pay/benefits, enjoyable work.  I'm content.

[Momiji]

Do you work for the government?

[Edible]

Do you work for the government?

Yes!

Edit: Technically, I work for a contracting agency who works for the government.  But that's true of most people in my field.

[theshirn]

Can you get me a job for the government? :V

In seriousness, what branch/office/etc?

Why do you not approve?

[Alfred F. Jones]

What's the most interesting book you've read recently?

[Tamer Anode/Cathode]

What's your opinion of public libraries?

[Edible]

Can you get me a job for the government? :V

Probably not!

In seriousness, what branch/office/etc?

I'd rather not provide too many details here, but it's a major non-military branch of the US.

Why do you not approve?

High standards.

What's your opinion of public libraries?

Love 'em, but I use them less often now that I can just buy books whenever.

[Edible]

What's the most interesting book you've read recently?

Brandon Sanderson's Way of Kings, probably.  I've been rereading The Illuminatus! Trilogy, but it's as convoluted as it ever was.

[Shadoweh]

How did you find MotK?
How did you become a member of staff?
Just what DO you do?

Why did you try to Hammer me Bro? :<
Can you teach me how to Mafia it Easy?

[theshirn]

If I am a Sanderson fan, who else would you recommend for me?

[Alfred F. Jones]

What's your favourite book to reread every few months, if you have one?

[Pesco]

What do you taste like?

[Edible]

How did you find MotK?

I joined #shrinemaiden in early 2006.  I wasn't really active on the forums until after the first major wipe.

How did you become a member of staff?

Just been here a really long time.  Was opped in #sm when we moved to PPIRC, I think.  Then I inherited those rights and became a moderator in an earlier iteration of the forums, forgot to ask for them back in a subsequent wipe, and got them again in another wipe.  Or something.  I'm sure TSO remembers the details better than I do.

Just what DO you do?

On here?  I mostly just moderate and pay for the forum server.

Why did you try to Hammer me Bro? :<

I know not of which you speak!

Can you teach me how to Mafia it Easy?

My style of mafia cannot be taught!  It must be ... felt.

[Edible]

If I am a Sanderson fan, who else would you recommend for me?

Sanderson's work was heavily influenced by Robert Jordan, IMO, but Sanderson has refined Jordan's tendency towards long-windedness.  On the other hand, I feel Jordan is a bit more varied as a writer.  I've followed the Wheel of Time series since the mid-nineties and it's very dear to my heart, so I try to get others to read it too.  That said, I know full well that Jordan's works are harder to get into.

What's your favourite book to reread every few months, if you have one?

Rurouni Kenshin. <_<;  Actual book-wise, whatever's on hand.  I'll regularly just stroll over to the bookshelf, grab something, and read a few chapters if I'm bored.  Most books have a few exceptionally memorable scenes that I just can't get enough of rereading.

What do you taste like?

Veal, probably.

[Esifex]

I ain't got no fancy gimmicks, sidekicks, theme shticks or mind tricks.  I only got answers.

That would be cramping on my style, thank you very much.

Name one song that you can always rely on to change your mood instantly no matter what you've been going through immediately beforehand.

Firebender, Waterbender, Earthbender? Airbenders were wiped out, no cheating.

[N-Forza]

Have you actually had a Pon de Ring doughnut?

[Edible]

Name one song that you can always rely on to change your mood instantly no matter what you've been going through immediately beforehand.

I imagine Don't Worry Be Happy would fit here, but I'm more likely to listen to something that fits my current mood, rather than try to change it.  If that makes sense.

Firebender, Waterbender, Earthbender? Airbenders were wiped out, no cheating.

Firebenders do lightning, right? <_<

Have you actually had a Pon de Ring doughnut?

Yes indeed.  They sold them at the Mitsuwa I sometimes when to when I lived in Illinois. 

Spoiler:

I prefer other donuts.

Edit: I should say they sold what were probably cheap imitations.  I haven't had one from whatever Japanese donut place made 'em famous.

[Alfred F. Jones]

Who is your favourite character in RK?

Where have you lived? Have you moved around a lot, or mostly stayed in one place?

[Edible]

Who is your favourite character in RK?

Where have you lived? Have you moved around a lot, or mostly stayed in one place?

Lived all up and down the east coast, from New England to Florida.  Lived in Illinois for a while as well.  I've spent most of the last few years in northern VA.

[nintendonut888]

Spoiler:

I prefer other donuts.

Is there any specific origin to your user name?

I've been wondering for the longest time: Who's the person in your avatar?

[communist unity (comm-unity)]

I've been wondering for the longest time: Who's the person in your avatar?

It's Saber from fate stay night.

Edible: You can choose one superpower (reality warping excluded). What is it and why?

[N-Forza]

Mister Donut seems to be most famous for them, but as you might be able to tell by the name, they are not Japanese.

Did you know that?

[Mr_Bob]

Do you have any preference for alcoholic beverages? Any specific drink?
Do you smoke?  What genre of video games do you like? What about movies?

[Helepolis]

Brandon Sanderson's

Did you read Mistborn?  (as I am currently reading it now and being a person who is not quickly interested by books, this one got me good for now)

How come your avatar has Sabre riding a lion and eating its balls?

You seem to be more of a stalker type on IRC rather than chatting one. Is this a part of your secret governmental spying tasks?

Your favourite Touhou girl... and why (I won't take "she is cute/nice/ze" for an answer).






And finally, an important serious question: Breast man or Ass man.

[Tengukami]

What was the last major event to change your life for the better?

Name three people from history, living or dead, that you'd have dinner with and why.

Are you close with your family?

Top five countries you'd want to visit next - go!

[Edible]

Is there any specific origin to your user name?

It's a nickname a good friend gave me when I was a wee tot, and I've been slingin' it on the internets for many moons.

I've been wondering for the longest time: Who's the person in your avatar?

King Arthur.

You can choose one superpower (reality warping excluded). What is it and why?

Teleportation, maybe.  Saves on gas.

Mister Donut seems to be most famous for them, but as you might be able to tell by the name, they are not Japanese.

Did you know that?

I did not!

Do you have any preference for alcoholic beverages?

I generally prefer simpler mixed drinks - rum & cokes, gin & tonics, etc.

Any specific drink?

Bawls. <3

Do you smoke?

Nah.

What genre of video games do you like?

I play more RPGs than anything else, but there are no genres I particularly dislike as long as the game's fun.

What about movies?

Heist flicks and murder mysteries are probably my favorite genre.

[Kips McKipzerson]

Why was nobu's topic locked without my question being answered? Did you *gasp* murder nobu?!
What are your favorite MMO's, if any?
Are you a boy or a girl?
What do you think your biggest contribution to this forum was? In that same sense, What do you think is the biggest accomplishment of the forum overall?
##Yuyuko Doll: Pesco?
And finally, How much do you like your job?

[Zengar Zombolt]

What is your stance on killing birds?
On that note, do you enjoy your mod/Admin job here?
What is your favorite part of it, and the part you like the least?
