FED MEET AND GREET
with TIKI, BARONESS of SMUDGE


May 18, 2003


Galinfenner places his barstool and sits

"One more after this", says Galinfenner.

"Who is taking over?", asks Lobo.

Wolfyn points to the wet paint sign on the back of the barstool.

Galinfenner grins

Galinfenner I hope it goes good with plaid ;)

Galinfenner says, "No one is taking over Lobo, we're shutting down for the summer"

Wolfyn hangs up the "Gone to the Beach" sign.

"aha...probably a wise idea...", says Lobo.

Galinfenner nods

"So go get me a herd of newbies to interview next year", says Galinfenner with a wink.

"When is the last one?", asks Wolfyn.

"next week", says Galinfenner.

Galinfenner says, "Tiki tonight, Gwarrior next"

Anseladams burps

Wolfyn has given Anseladams an Alka-Seltzer!

Esperanza slips Ansel a card for the Milagran School of Charm

Lobo wonders if AnselAdams had too many Samuel Adams

Anseladams mumbles and plays with his recorders

Silverkat looks at Galins watch

"We're waiting for the fights to finish", says Galinfenner with a wink.

"Not to mention the guest to show up", says Galinfenner.

Roslyn says, "That would be good"

Lobo notices where guest is and recogns she may need to get dressed first...

Can you see me now? Good. Tiki has appeared with a shimmer of teleportation effect.

Galinfenner smiles, "Welcome"

Galinfenner winks and says, "The fights are done"

"ok Welcome to Meet and Greet everyone!", exclaims Galinfenner.

"Tonight our guest is Tiki", says Galinfenner.

Tiki stands and bows

"Tiki, usual question, how did you find Fed and when?", asks Galinfenner.

"I found Fed in Aug 1996, my ex boyfriend and I were checking out games on AOL", says Tiki.

Galinfenner nods

Tiki smiles, "I like fantasy, he liked space games... a space fantasy game seemed perfect"

Galinfenner grins

Galinfenner asks, "Do you remember anything about that first time?"

"we played together as one char at first... we were a 6 foot duck and had no clue what to do", says Tiki.

Mashimaro says, "it was int he backseat of an old oh wait wrong subject"

Galinfenner laughs

"Umm.. six foot duck. What was the name?", asks Galinfenner.

Lobo ponders a 6 foot duck...and thinks..."PEKING!"

Tiki says, "so we printed out the manual, then he'd do the typing while I did the navigating... lol, RicBDuck"

Galinfenner nods

Tiki winks at Lobo

"When did you decide to do your own character?", asks Galinfenner.

Fancy asks, "I remember RicBDuck, I think... overlord of Mallard?"

"name sounds a little familiar to me too", says Galinfenner.

Tiki says, "I'd do all the socializing, he wasn't very good at it... but once AOL announced unlimited in Oct 96, I decided to get my own char... was Quackers"

Galinfenner grins

Lobo laughs!

"Who did you socialize with?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki wanted to beat all the newbies to the punch in Sol, didn't wanna compete for jobs

Tiki says, "lol, I lived in the cantina, gave roses to the ladies"

"was sorta his trademark :p", says Tiki.

"Once you became Quackers did you change anything?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki says, "in Oct 96, I became Rusty265, didn't play the duck ever again... we still didn't have a planet yet"

"when aol went unlimited, I was so hooked that I beat him to getting a planet, got Crystalline on Feb 2, 1997", smiles Tiki.

"Planets were hard to come by then", says Galinfenner.

Galinfenner nods

"Same day as mine", smiles Fancy.

Tiki nods, same as Fancy

Tiki frowns and says, "but... Fed lost my planet 3 days later"

Galinfenner asks, "Lost it?"

"You sure the dog didn't eat it?", asks Galinfenner.

Galinfenner grins

Tiki says, "there was a bug that wouldn't allow some planets to go online"

Galinfenner nods

"it was offline when I signed on... and I couldn't online it, I cried", says Tiki.

"So you were a PO without a planet?", asks Galinfenner.

"I think I remember that.", says Galinfenner.

Galinfenner asks, "Was a particular Mini type wasn' t it?"

"yup... but I had a fed boyfriend, so I hauled for him and learned planet economics... I'm not sure what it was, I had a water", says Tiki.

Tiki says, "I think it had to do with the day of the week or something"

Galinfenner nods

Tiki smiles, "my duke was JTMoomau"

"So did you have to d'd and start over or did it get fixed?", asks Galinfenner.

Mashimaro whispers, "Ming didn't like tuesdays.."

"I waited around for 5 weeks, finally Fed got it fixed... MaggsT1000 reimbursed me for "lost time"", says Tiki.

Silverkat perks at the name JTMoomau

Tiki got 4 builds out of it, heh... big money at the time

Galinfenner chuckles

Galinfenner asks, "Who was your fed boyfriend?"

"PTBaar, who became another PO in MBA", says Tiki.

Tiki smiles, "we had a blast in that duchy, it was very tight"

Galinfenner asks, "Who were some of your friends there that you remember?"

"Galileo, Skatemore, Artopia, Neecerie, Longstrider...", says Tiki.

Tiki says, "JT of course, PPPME"

Galinfenner grins

Galinfenner says, "Old names..."

"yes, so many of them...", says Tiki.

"CLTree, Goodnfast, Tbar, OG", says Tiki.

Zyphr grins, OG ;)

"Have you ever promoted to Duchess?", asks Galinfenner.

"twice... once as Sholuvr, once as Neva", says Tiki.

Tiki smiles, "IsleofView and OmegaOne"

Galinfenner nods

"thought you did it twice as Sho", says Mashimaro.

"oh yeah... guess I did, lol", says Tiki.

"So, did you get tired of being a duchess and quit?", asks Galinfenner.

Mashimaro grins

Tiki says, "Hard to say, I loved duchess, but there was a lot of pressure too"

Tiki wasn't cut out for the pressure

Zyphr rubs the wolf behind his ears...

"What sort of pressure?", asks Galinfenner.

Lobo asks, "Easier being a duck?"

Galinfenner smirks

"okay Lobo .. no more wise-quacks", says Silverkat.

Silverkat chuckles

"Other dukes/duchesses mostly, all the planet-stealing accusations, lots of competition", says Tiki.

Galinfenner chokes

Lobo winks and nods...

Galinfenner smiles, "ahh"

Tiki winks and says, "duck was easier"

Galinfenner asks, "So you are happy staying a baronness then?"

Zyphr winks and says, "duke, duck..."

"yes, though I'd like to do the puzzle again... if I do though, I'll prolly start over again", says Tiki.

Esperanza says, "Ducks always look so serene on the water, but underneath they're paddling like hell"

"Why would you do that?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki winks and says, "lol Espy"

Galinfenner wonders if Espy went into a pond to find that out

Tiki says, "I enjoy lower ranks"

Galinfenner grins

Lobo nods to Espy and grins..

"recently I spent quite a while as Explorer, had a blast", smiles Tiki.

Galinfenner asks, "Ok, can you tell us about some of your relationships?"

"And learned ALL the factory types", says Fancy with a wink.

Paul can't understand anyone wanting to start over

Mashimaro chuckles

Greyspacewolf chuckles

Esperanza pokes Paul

"hmm, been fed-wed 4 times, all of them short", says Tiki.

"uh huh", says Esperanza.

Galinfenner nods

Tiki smiles, "til now, Haeger and I are still together"

Lobo ponders why Tiki had a penchant for short men...

Galinfenner asks, "Who were the others?"

Tiki married Pill2U, Phill, Eaglewing... they all quit fed shortly after the wedding

Tiki was a handful :p

Jazir chuckles

Galinfenner laughs

Dragonheart chuckles

"Ok..", says Galinfenner.

Lobo snortles

Mashimaro no comment

Fancy says, "Hmm, hard luck love..."

Mashimaro grins

"Do you have any embarrassing moments you can share with us?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki winks and says, "nahh, just had to wait for the right one, found him"

"That's cool.", says Galinfenner.

"I'm not easily embarrassed... but, I think overall I'm embarrassed by my naivete", says Tiki.

"Can you give us an example?", asks Galinfenner.

"Becoming a 6-foot duck?", asks Lobo.

Tiki says, "I was so naive for years about beams, alts... thought nobody ever spied me, oh-no... and would go into porterproof rooms thinking they were spyproof"

Galinfenner laughs

Fancy chuckles.

Jordy bounces, "Yes!"

"hee hee. someone told you that?", asks Galinfenner.

Dragonheart chuckles

Jordy smiles, "Oops, sorry"

Greyspacewolf howls with laughter

"yup, and I believed it for a few years", says Tiki with a wink.

Lobo has videos for sale...

Mashimaro does too

Galinfenner asks, "That's funny. How'd you find out it wasn't spyproof?"

Jordy giggles

"only A-T, Lobo, I wised up", says Tiki with a wink.

Lobo winks...

"ummm, I spied someone in a "spyproof" loc", says Tiki.

Tiki blushes

Galinfenner smirks

Galinfenner asks, "If you could change one thing about Fed what would that be?"

"I'd wipe everyone out, start everyone over... well, except for 3 lucky players", says Tiki.

Lobo volunteers!

Galinfenner asks, "Who would the three lucky players be?"

Tiki winks and says, "they could have planets for facs, the rest... kaboom"

Tiki says, "Fed could have a lotto"

Galinfenner nods

"SO everyone has to Dd and start over.", says Galinfenner.

"yup, and they'd have to help each other", smiles Tiki.

Galinfenner grins

"What keeps you coming back into Fed?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki says, "traders would have to trade, no spare groats... merchants would hafta give out pc's, etc"

"the people", says Tiki.

Galinfenner nods

"I was going to say the hauling, but guess not", says Tiki with a wink.

"No?", asks Galinfenner.

Wyldcat chuckles

Jazir chuckles

Galinfenner winks and says, "Hauling is zen"

Tiki says, "nahh"

Galinfenner grins

"What advice would you give a newbie in the game?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki says, "take your time, meet people... and learn how to play"

"learn how to run facs, planets... write your planet", smiles Tiki.

Lobo winks and says, "and stay at JP for at least 6 months..."

"and... don't listen to people who say rooms are spyproof", says Tiki with a wink.

Galinfenner nods and grins at Lobo

Lobo laughs!

Galinfenner laughs

Fancy chuckles.

Jazir smiles

"Does anyone have a question for Tiki?", asks Galinfenner.

Wyldcat raises his hand

"Wyld?", asks Galinfenner.

Wyldcat asks, "what was it that got you to give up the explorer life?"

"I got bored", says Tiki with a wink.

Jazir winks and says, "Famous last words, those"

Wyldcat chuckles

"so true", smiles Tiki.

Lobo nods at Jaz...

Galinfenner asks, "Anyone else?"

Tiki says, "but, I try to find interesting things to do, I may just have to change ranks to do it"

Galinfenner asks, "Any interesting things you've done lately that you can share?"

Wyldcat raises his hand

Tiki says, "lately, not really... I've been swamped irl, though I have been working on redesigning Smudge"

"What sort of redesign?", asks Galinfenner.

Galinfenner nods at Wyldcat

Tiki is trying to put in a puzzle, has gotten lots of advice

Galinfenner asks, "Can you give us an idea of what it'll be about?"

Tiki says, "sort of a fantasy, you'll have choices on what you want to do"

Tiki says, "depending on which choice you make, you get a different story"

Galinfenner smiles, "Sounds interesting"

Tiki winks and says, "it's hair-pulling"

Galinfenner asks, "Wyld you had another question?"

Galinfenner grins

"you entered guts and glory tonight, will you be fighting in events regularly now?", asks Wyldcat.

Tiki says, "when I have time, yes... I miss fighting"

"How'd you do tonight?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki says, "I sucked :p"

Tiki laughs

Fancy laughs.

Galinfenner grins

Fancy says, "Blunt and to the point."

"Does anyone else have a question for Tiki?", asks Galinfenner.

Lobo timidly raises his hand...

Galinfenner asks, "Lobo?"

Lobo asks, "Are those pics I downloaded off the web really you or are they someone else's body with your face superimposed?"

Tiki snickers at a timid Lobo

Galinfenner laughs

Greyspacewolf howls with laughter

"all me, Lobo", says Tiki with a wink.

Tiki struts

Lobo perks!

>ex tiki
You see a very pale person, looking quite literally like death warmed up, wearing an uncomfortable hospital gown. The wide gap up the back allows a draft into the most intimate places. An identity tag attached to one toe makes it very difficult to walk.

"Alrighty then!", exclaims Lobo.

Galinfenner chuckles

Galinfenner asks, "Anyone else?"

Fancy raises a paw.

Galinfenner asks, "Fancy?"

Fancy asks, "How did you like participating in Fed Survivor?"

Tiki smiles, "it was fun, I really had a good time"

Tiki says, "well, til I got voted off, that part wasn't fun"

Galinfenner grins

Galinfenner asks, "Anything in particular you enjoyed about that event?"

"I got to meet some cool people, and had fun with them", smiles Tiki.

"and got back in touch with an old, dear friend", smiles Tiki.

"Who's that?", asks Galinfenner.

Tiki beams at Mashi

Galinfenner smiles, "ahh"

Galinfenner asks, "Tiki, would you like to say anything before we close?"

Mashimaro grins

"yeah, I agree with you Galin... people need to relax, not take fed so seriously", says Tiki.

Lobo says, "amen"

Galinfenner grins

"it's a game, it's fun... the people are real, but are still only characters too, at least the ones you choose to be that way", says Tiki.

Galinfenner nods

Lobo thinks Tiki is a real character

"that's your choice, Lobo, and one I like", smiles Tiki.

"Well, thank you for coming tonight Tiki", smiles Galinfenner.

"I don't see some of the alts here as real people", says Tiki.

Fancy purrs.

Galinfenner says, "Oh sorry."

Galinfenner looks sheepish

Mashimaro gets some shears

Greyspacewolf tosses a tomato at Galin

Tiki smiles, "the ones that haul that is, and don't interact... just kind of like money machines"

Silverkat looks around the room, wondering if there are alts right here in the room

Galinfenner catches the tomato and lobs it back at Gsw

Esperanza wouldn't let Frenchie come

Tiki winks and says, "usually not at meet and greet, Silver... they're hauling"

Roslyn waves, "Me, me!"

Tiki smiles, "and Frenchie is special, she's real"

Greyspacewolf ducks and watches it sail past him

Silverkat says, "Oh, THose alts .."

Roslyn laughs

"Frenchie never hauls. But she's a twit.", says Esperanza.

Insomnius chuckles

Zyphr watches as it heads towards Espy!

"DUCK Espy!", exclaims Zyphr.

Esperanza ducks

"not another duck!", exclaims Lobo.

Zyphr thinks Galin is in BIG trouble!

"my god she is a duck!!", exclaims Mashimaro.

"Heh I'm always in trouble", says Galinfenner.

Wyldcat grumbles about frenchie and fortun

"All these ducks... someone could go quackers...", says Fancy.

"Tiki, thanks for coming tonight", smiles Galinfenner.

Tiki smiles, "my pleasure, Galin"

Wyldcat ducks

Galinfenner exclaims, "Everyone, thank you for being a great audience as always!"

Lobo smiles, "Thanks for sharing Tiki"

Zyphr claps for Tiki!

Jazir applauds for Tiki :)

"thanks for coming, everyone", smiles Tiki.

Galinfenner says, "Next week will be our last Meet and Greet for the season."

Wyldcat applauds

Wolfyn claps.

Antonia applauds

Silverkat exclaims, "yea, Tiki!"

Greyspacewolf howls in appreciation of Tiki

"Our guest will be Gwarrior", smiles Galinfenner.

Urissa applauds for Tiki!

Fancy applauds.

Esperanza appaluds

Dragonheart applauds

Esperanza applauds too

Galinfenner claps loudly and looks for flying tomatoes

Lobo tries to appaluds...but doesn't quite get it

Tiki ducks ;)

Insomnius stands and whistles
