This feature is currently under the guidance of Líng and Razoor. July 2004 - Lowyn |
| L&R | How does it feel to be one of the few female players? |
| Lowyn | I don't mind it :) In fact I get along better with males anyway |
| L&R: | Why is that? |
| Lowyn | No offense but women can be catty |
| Líng | I agree! |
| L&R | When did you start playing MUME, and who got you into this game? |
| Lowyn | I played for a cpl weeks in the summer but started playing for real in oct :) I remember only cuz that's when i moved to florida for a while |
| Razoor | But how/why, You dont wake up with a thought in your head saying 'Lets connect to fire.pvv.org 4242 through telnet today! |
| Lowyn | I got started by someone else :) I used to call the game stupid and retarded and I'd never play it |
| Razoor | Who is this mysterious someone else? |
| Lowyn | My ex :) |
| Razoor | Names, we want names! |
| Lowyn | he used to play Gaand and Gaz but they're both deleted... he has a god name quic still tho' |
| L&R | Okay to something else... even fewer females actively PK on MUME. Being one of the more frequent female PK'ers yourself, could you give us a qualified guess to why this is the case? |
| Lowyn | I've really not gave it too much thought but i'm guessing that most females would rather RP then to kill players |
| L&R | Do you think that RP is more a female thing? |
| Lowyn | You'd really have to be a female to understand :) Maybe losing eq or making ppl lose eq isnt their thought of fun |
| L&R | Are there any advantages to being a female when it comes to EQ-splitting, grouping, or peoples general attitude towards you? |
| Lowyn | Nope |
| L&R | None? |
| Lowyn | No |
| L&R | What do you think of the common prejudice that females have a so much
easier time on mume due to their sex, it is a heavily debated issue? All guys think that girls do etc... |
| Lowyn | I think it's full of shit! |
| Razoor | Because? |
| Lowyn | Because I don't seem to get any special treatment. You sure don't give me any, right? |
| Razoor | Not really, no...though it's easier to make fun of you. |
| Lowyn | I've seen male players give other female players alot of things but not I, I've always had to get it myself so I had to learn things on my own like pk etc |
| L&R | Why not you, any idea why this is the case? |
| Lowyn | Not sure :) I think cuz I was very spammy when i first started playing here and very hot headed |
| Líng | You're still kinda hotheaded :) |
| Razoor | Most people would probably agree to that you're hotheaded when it comes to EQ |
| Lowyn | Well, I was hot headed in alot of other areas and a very loud mouth and
sarcastic. My ex didn't want me to get into pk cuz he knew how I was :) He used to call me Mrs slayer :P I've calmed down alot now though |
| L&R | Many people think that you love EQ and that you spam alot about it even when you have fullset, do you agree to this? |
| Lowyn | Partially, I just want ppl to get a fair share |
| Líng | So you hand out the EQ to your friends or to the rest of the group? |
| Lowyn | To the group first always |
| Razoor | Why did you kill Tiamat when he patted you? |
| Lowyn | Ack, Tiamat was drunk and he was egging me on :) |
| L&R | Can you tell us why you and Hathol got married on MUME, and is there any connection with real life? |
| Lowyn | Well thought it'd be a fun thing to do, being I never done it before |
| L&R | We thought you had mume-married once before already? |
| Lowyn | No, I've been engaged twice :P |
| Líng | We want names! :P |
| Lowyn | Haha! well most ppl know Ginlon and I were couples, and Ginlon and Elle were engaged. Ginlon and I met through MUME |
| L&R | So you two met through mume, and then later on in RL too. Do you think that you will meet Hathol in RL too, or maybe you've already done that? |
| Lowyn | I haven't and maybe |
| Razoor | ut something Is growing? |
| Lowyn | Anything is possible |
| L&R | First you dated Ginlon, and now you got something going with Hathol. Is MUME like a Tolkienbased dating service for you? |
| Lowyn | I've dated outside of mume, so no i don't consider it as a dating service |
| L&R | What's the most fun for you in mume; like meeting new people, exping,
collecting EQ, PKing etc? |
| Lowyn | Hanging w/ friends and killing em, not fun killing real good friends tho |
| Razoor | Damn, we missed 'following pRazoor' as an alternative |
| Lowyn | Haha, I lead mostly these days |
| L&R | You followed alot before, and now you're leading - you even have your
own redshirt in your husband, Hathol! How does that feel? :) |
| Lowyn | Well I learned alot following in the beginning, I think I was one of the best followers you could find |
| Líng | Like breaking when people need that? |
| Lowyn | Nope, like when ppl are awful and exhausted back then was tick regens. Ppl used to be very afraid of Elle and Ginlon |
| L&R | Why do you think people have so much against Lowyn? |
| Lowyn | I think I'm just as much as hated as liked |
| Líng | You seem tho have alot of friends here though. |
| Lowyn | I do, but I think I have many enemies too :) |
| L&R | Could you give us a rough estimate of the number of exits you've broken with Lowyn over the years? |
| Lowyn | I don't always break btw, I know how ppl play and when I don't trust the person. I'm fighting or ppl I know that have been spotted that day I will break |
| Líng | So let's say... 500? |
| Lowyn | I'd have to say alot higher, probably more into the thousands |
| Razoor | Is there a certain area you always break before entering? |
| Lowyn | I don't bother going stonedoor much anymore unless playing darkie :) |
| Razoor | Cause you always die there? :) |
| Lowyn | Not always, I've done some nice traps there before |
| L&R | You got caught for breaking rules Character-separation a while ago, what exactly did you do? |
| Lowyn | It was retarded, I hardly did anything - I just healed and sancted. And I was near my corpse but I've been near my corpse before as another char and didn't loot it and didn't get in trouble either |
| L&R | So you didnt help with your other character's shadow? |
| Lowyn | Was no shadow, p Brumbur knew where the corpse was and lied. He didn't loot it and wanted it to decay because he has personal things against me, which of course I have no idea why he even does |
| L&R | You are wellknown for your fights with some people, Brumbur being one of them. How come? |
| Lowyn | Yeah well I didn't do anything, I've asked him on several occausions why he had problems with me, then he ignored me whenever I tried talking to him |
| Razoor | You probably stole a scroll from him at one point or antoher |
| Lowyn | Who knows |
| L&R | Do you like MUME better as it is now, or was it more fun "back in
the days"? |
| Lowyn | I would rather have mume 6 back, the stat system and areas |
| L&R | And what about the new changes? |
| Lowyn | I like some new changes, rent blows goats though and flee sucks. I don't like wps as they are now, nor do I like the trophy system on pk. Second regen I like though :) If I could I'd bring back MUME 6 |
| L&R | A month ago or so we noticed that you hadn't logged on for about a week, and the last login was from *.ee. Do you have somekind of relationship with anyone in Estonia, or what's the story behind that? |
| Lowyn | No! I was prob just using some server |
| Razoor | But you have to admit that Mammoth is quite sexy |
** Silence ** ;) |
|
| Lowyn | Haha, there's very few estonians that I can say that I miss playing with |
| L&R | Name a few in general that you miss playing with |
| Lowyn | Superhobbit, Hack, Shatter and Smollet etc |
| L&R | Any 'nationality' that you're particurarly fond of? Or dislike? |
| Lowyn | Swedes! and hrm I duno about not liking but most Estonians I think don't like me |
| Razoor | Why do you dislike being patted? |
| Lowyn | I hate it rl:) Literally pisses me off rl, doesn't have to do with anything of being short |
| Líng | Are you short in rl? |
| L&R | What kind of whines do you hear most from people (when they whine on you?). |
| Lowyn | That I'm not brave enough or I'm too much of a power puke |
| L&R | Would you call yourself brave? |
| Lowyn | If I see a good opportunity I will take it, I've entered in warrens solo before just to chase 1 bad/awful orc, not if there's gonna be 10 at cave tho. THO i have done it before |
| Razoor | Are there any people in particular you never fight? |
| Lowyn | No I will fight anyone, I'm not afraid tho I may avoid ppl if they gonna poison cuz it's just too boring to be chased by someone that poisons |
| L&R | One more question! Has mume changed you somehow? |
| Lowyn | No I don't think so... I may care less btw |
| L&R | Is there anyone in particular on MUME that you admire? |
| Lowyn | p Humala and p Gothmog, they both rock :) |
