| Q1: Where are you from? | Lansing, Michigan, United States of America, though I currently live in Indianapolis, Indiana. |
| Q2: Best and worst thing about OTF? | The People, for both. People here can be so good or so stuck up and cliqueish that it's a pendulem that swings both ways. |
| Q3: Who out of OTF would you elect the leader of your country? | Probably Babel or Zild as they would be fair and effective leaders. |
| Q4: What is your tagline? | "Volcano's melt me down" a line from the song "Volcano" by Damien Rice. |
| Q5: Which sci-fi/fantasy movie or show would you want to be in? | Battlestar Galactica, as Baltar's non cylon lover. |
| Q6: Are you nostalgic about the "old" OTF? Which parts? | I remember the old intergate server, don't ask me about nostalgia. |
| Q7: What change do you feel has been most beneficial for OTF? | The creation of Guilds as it's own department. |

| Q10: If you had IAIN-like Powers in OTF... what precisely would you do? | Distroy Iain... er, no I don't know. |
| Q11: Why do you think OTF has lasted so long? | Because as horrible as it can be when it's bad, it's addictive, there's always one person or maybe even several people that keep you coming back. It's the sense of community that some people enstill in this place. |
| Q12: Which smiley should The Powers That Be include next in the chatrooms? | The blushing smiley, OTF is the breeding ground for embarassment. |
| Q13: Who IS/are "The Powers That Be"? | Maxwell, though I don't know how actively, and Iain, a bit more actively as far as scripting things. |
| Q14: What about OTF has kept you returning? | Certain peoples, I won't name names. |

| Q16: Has Jon ever "Happened" to you? | I think I missed this joke, but I do remember Jon. |
| Q17: What memories from the last two years stick out most in your mind? | I don't really have one, sorry. |
| Q18: Who's your partner in crime from these last two years in the chats? | Max Elbert Mier III... He is and always will be my number one partner in crime and all things evil. |
| Q19: What crimes have you committed with this partner in crime? | Lets just say we can no longer eat grilled cheese sandwiches or steaks anymore. *shudder* |
| Q20: What do you think the Senators really do? | The same things librarians do, dancing on tables and drinking good good liqour. |
| Q21: If OTF was a real place, what would your quarters look like? | Pink! Er, unless they had to be standard Trek Grey... then I'd perminatly take over one of the holodecks. |
| Q22: What holodeck program would you make for yourself? | hmm... A massage on the beach in Acapulco Mexico, with Alexander Sidding as my massuer. Garret Wang, Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Robert McNeil, and Robert Beltran as my waiters... With Strawberry daquri's coming frequently. |
| Q23: If you could choose your own clearance level, which would you want - and why? | 21 because it's the age in American when you can do everything and no one can say anything. |
| Q24: What sci-fi/fantasy character do you like the most? | B'Elanna Torress from Star Trek (female) and Severus Snape from Harry Potter (just cause Alan Rickman really Rodgers my Hamerstien) |

| Q26: If you were in charge of OTF for one day, what would you do? | Make all the ranks Pink, just so scare people. |
| Q27: Who do you know best from OTF? | I'm gonna list some really old names. Max, Norm (Calvock) and Jason (Denham). |
| Q28: Have you met any OTF Members in real life? If so, what was it like? | Nope, though I'm sure Jason, Max and I will eventually. |
| Q29: Of every OTF member you haven't met, who would you most like to meet in real life? | Max, we'd start a riot, havoc galore. It's like Iain loose in a chocolate factory, the horror... the horror. |
| Q30: If you ever met Iain in real life, what would you do? | Give him a wedgie. |
| Q31: Whatever happened to the Axis of Anti-Iain? | The same thing with the weapons of mass distruction in Iraq :P |
| Q32: What's your favourite part of the Blue Report? | The Wizard bit, as I am a fantasy person. |
| Q33: Will people ever stop blaming Hobbie? | Nope, because he likes Futurama. |
| Q34: Who springs to mind when you hear: "That Man"? | That Polgara is near. No really |
| Q35: Is there a sci-fi/fantasy character that reminds you of yourself? Who, and why? | B'Elanna Torress, Beautiful, angry, confused, torn between duty and emotion, yeah... though I'm not that cute. |
| Q36: What's your take on all the imaginary couples (or triplets) popping up in the forums? | That it's not real, that if you really plan on pursuing something in real life then thats fine, but just to cyber date and more (ew) is a little unnessisary. To me, it falls in the same range as all the online personal websites out there, how many people on match dot com lie about their weight and stuff, I mean, to me, there's nothing better than just having morning coffee with my beau and we're long distance. |
| Q37: Man In Hat is angry of how Vic Fontaine is treated at OTF. Do you agree? | I'd rather him be traded for Brent Spiner singing songs off "Old Gold Eyes is back". |
| Q38: What is your favorite OTF activity? | Click the green button... oh wait, that wasn't OTF, just... old... |
| Q39: If Iain goes suddenly quiet in OTF, how much do you panic? | Not at all... Iain is Iain, he doesn't scare/worry/concern me. |
| Q40: How do you try to explain OTF to outsiders? | I just say "A chat room I visit sometimes" it generally doesn't come up though as most people just can't get over the fact that I've SEEN Star Trek and still can wear a short skirt. |
| Q41: If everyone in OTF were to fight in "The Ultimate Showdown of OTF Destiny", who would win? | Maxwell? |
| Q42: What are your nicknames at OTF (aside from your handle)? | Ally, Allycat, Mahasin (irl name) though if you ask some people, things that are more unmentionable. |
| Q43: Did you really think that there wouldn't be a question about Naberrie / eirrebaN? | No, I knew their would be, but it's very sad how Iain Naberrie obsessed everyone is. |
| Q44: Naberrie: a moderating influence on Iain, or an inspiration to and encourager for him? | Isn't she like 15? Isn't that illegal? I'm just asking. |
| Q45: Who's your "favorite goober"? (We know, we know - Amanda said we had to add this one.) | I dunno, but I had some gobstopers the other day. |
| Q46: "I don't mind yearbook questions, but this here question is Iain-like!" ? | Iain is not everything... |
| Q47: General comments? | This was longer than I expected though it was kind of funny. Though I think I'm not as Iain Naberrie obsessed as everyone else so a lot of the stuff was lost on me... And there was just a large car accident outside my apartment, so I'll end this. TTFN! Ally |
