Oh wow, I didn't realize that some of your Werewolf games were the same/similar ruleset to the ones you ran in 10KI. Is that common for you to do?

I'm not surprised the rulesets mimic each other.  10KI was my first experience in hosting and playing, and that's where I really started to learn my own style.  Sometimes if I was pressed for time, I'd copy/paste rules and alter some things since I rarely had issue with how they were originally written.

But yeah, I first got the idea for how I wanted games to go in 10KI, and they followed me here when I hosted my first game.  Since then, the ruleset has always had some grounds based in how they were ran in 10KI...although they've changed a bit over the years based on our own experiences and decisions in how games here are ran.

Ohh you like JRPGs

What's the most obscure JRPG you've played? And what's you're favoriteand why?

Most obscure is tricky.  I've played plenty of odd ones like the Mother series...but I don't think I could pinpoint one specifically.  Actually, yeah, it'd probably be Earthbound and Mother 3 specifically.  Really great games...but really bizarre as well.  I think the only one that ever came close was Saturday Morning RPG (though SMRPG is definitely more in the obscure category since the Mother games are widely known).

Favorite hands down is still Skies of Arcadia Legends, with Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch being a really close second.

If you really want to know why I adore SoA, I actually did a review on it on here several years back.

Short form, I loved how it was basically one big fantasy RP trope adventure.  It was cheesy, cliche, and incredibly endearing.  I also love how much there is to do when it comes to sidequests...and really appreciated how innovative it was for a Dreamcast title/Gamecube port.

Graphically it's a bit dated now, but it's a highly underrated game.

Might not hurt to look at 10K Islands for some Werewolf.  Those are some pretty cool looking games of Werewolf.

Are there any companies whose commercials tend to make you want to destroy the tv or radio because they are that annoying or worse?

I think they're on their 65th game or so.  But yeah, they're a great place to look at for ideas...as is Mafia Universe.  Seriously, if you're ever in a drought for ideas for WW, MU has new games daily of various types, and they have some really great themes and types of games.

And there's always companies like that.  If I had to think of one particular one lately, it's Dominos.  They made a new commercial for the Superbowl based off of the famous scene from Risky Business...and they've been playing it over, and over, and over, and oh my god give it a rest already.  I know commercials are bound to repeat sometimes, but good lord.  I feel like I see that one every single time a show or movie cuts to commercial.

At the moment, that's the only one that comes to mind.

What inspired you to start playing/hosting Werewolf? Was it your XKI experience, here, or something else?

And do you still have a nation in XKI?

I've never actually taken a train before.  But I've always wanted to.

It was definitely my XKI experience.  I played my first game there and fell in love because it was like a more expanded version of what I played offline.  I got my first shot in hosting their 27th game which was titled The Dreamer Trials (the setting based off of my story that I've been working on).  The roles included the vanilla ones, the Elder with unique role abilities, the Seductress, Gambler, and Puppet Master/Head Wolf.  I actually amost forgot about the different roles, but I kept the explanations of them on a Livejournal (which, funny enough, is still around and contains the signup, game starting, and day phase 1 end stories as well as role descriptions and expanded Gambler power list).  Before that, I also wrote up this thread as a way to keep track of all games past and present so that people would just have to go into a single thread to find links to past games...and present games would update with a new status (IE open signups, game in progress, post mortem discussion). It also ended up becoming a popular place for hosts to sign up for and discuss the roster of future games.  Admittedly, I feel bad since I personally stopped updating it around Werewolf 53 (I just finished hosting 66).  But it was basically then and after my first game (which was pretty messy, but still ended up being fun for people because they liked the stories) that I realized that I just really loved the game.  So when I joined Wintreath (having hosted 3 games at that point: 27 (Dreamer Trials), 31 (Clash of White and Black - a Chess Themed Werewolf) and 36 (Taco Island's Got Talent), I decided that I just really wanted to bring it here...and boy am I glad that I did.

Solo

Admittedly, I haven't actually seen Rogue One (though it does look okay), and I barely made it into Episode 2 before getting exeptionally bored and switching to something else.

Solo was absolutely abysmal, which was sad because it was basically a movie of wasted potential.  And if it wasn't for Darth Maul (which unfortunately wasn't a saving grace for Solo), I probably would have disliked Phantom Menace more than I did.

On the flipside, I still have a deep love for the original trilogy, and I actually had a great appreciation for The Force Awakens.  I'm just sad that appreciation was basically squandered in Last Jedi, and then shot to hell within literally the first line of Rise of Skywalker ("The dead speak!" Nice way of introducing reintroducing friggin Palpatine there when there was no hint of him being in this new trilogy).

And I just loved 3 because it had a sort of lovely cheesy factor to it with Anakin's consistant whininess and how that translated into him turning to the dark side.

Do you enjoy taking the train?

I've never actually taken a train before.  But I've always wanted to.

I was about to scream until I realised you are in fact in the US.

Have you taken other public transit, if yes, which?

Yep, the bus and ferry, and I've been on an airplane multiple times.

Personally, ferry is my favorite so far because I love being over the water, but I don't mind planes either.

Buses are probably my least favorite, but they get me around.

So it seems like every 2 years, I make a new AMA topic...and since my last one was around 2020 for its last reply, that means it's time for a new one!

In this version, I may tell you the answers as stories, rhymes, jokes, flat out, as lies, or whatever other way I choose to answer, and it's up to you to use your deductive reasoning to deduce if I'm in fact telling the truth or some elaborate story.

Have fun, and ask me things!
