Person Interviewed: Hobbie (CL7) [2006-07-27]
| Q1: Where are you from? | Somewhere in space, I'm not sure as to the exact location. |
| Q2: Best and worst thing about OTF? | It's addictive... to both. |
| Q3: Who out of OTF would you elect the leader of your country? | I wouldn't vote for any of them. If I had to take part in a takeover putting one of them in charge, I'd go with Eagle. =) |
| Q4: What is your tagline? | "Two fighters against a star destroyer!", most of the time. |
| Q5: Which sci-fi/fantasy movie or show would you want to be in? | I'm not much of an actor, and apparently I'm better suited to soap operas, as it appears... |
| Q6: Are you nostalgic about the "old" OTF? Which parts? | I don't know, it was kind of fun not having a clue about anything. I miss being a CL3. |
| Q7: What change do you feel has been most beneficial for OTF? | The themed weekends idea was a pretty good one... |
| Q8: With the appearance of Man In Hat - aka, Mih - and the disappearance of our famed mystery Fleet Admiral, where do you think Octavius Piraeus - aka, "Octagon" - went? | I'm still not convinced he ever really existed. Maybe they put him in the brig, with Grant? |
| Q9: What chat themed room would you add to OTF? | Futurama, or Lost. |
| Q10: If you had IAIN-like Powers in OTF... what precisely would you do? | Redefine "IAIN-like Powers" to "Being Able to Throw Marchmallows at People". |
| Q11: Why do you think OTF has lasted so long? | There are always new members coming in, filling in for the rest of us when we get lazy... or lazier. |
| Q12: Which smiley should The Powers That Be include next in the chatrooms? | The cat smiley, or the angel smiley. Both would be best. (@) (a) |
| Q13: Who IS/are "The Powers That Be"? | You'd be surprised if you found out, but I'm sworn to secrecy, I'm afraid. =) |
| Q14: What about OTF has kept you returning? | The people. |
| Q15: Where were you nine years ago, and what were you doing? | Erm, good question. I was on vacations, just before starting high school. Can't remember much more than that, though... |
| Q16: Has Jon ever "Happened" to you? | I had my avatar changed a few times, yeah... |
| Q17: What memories from the last two years stick out most in your mind? | The unions. Especially meeting Iain and Svenja. |
| Q18: Who's your partner in crime from these last two years in the chats? | the Nightmare Trinity. |
| Q19: What crimes have you committed with this partner in crime? | There are some we haven't committed? Something must be done about that... |
| Q20: What do you think the Senators really do? | How would I know? (a) |
| Q21: If OTF was a real place, what would your quarters look like? | A mess, just like my room, probably. |
| Q22: What holodeck program would you make for yourself? | holowhat? |
| Q23: If you could choose your own clearance level, which would you want - and why? | CL3, it's closest to π. |
| Q24: What sci-fi/fantasy character do you like the most? | Han Solo, or Wedge, or Face, or pretty much any other X-Wing pilot... |
| Q25: And which character don't you like? | Anyone from the prequels? =( |
| Q26: If you were in charge of OTF for one day, what would you do? | Take it down for the day, people can use a break. |
| Q27: Who do you know best from OTF? | Svenja or Iain. |
| Q28: Have you met any OTF Members in real life? If so, what was it like? | Loads. It was different, but always fun, I recommend it. |
| Q29: Of every OTF member you haven't met, who would you most like to meet in real life? | Eagle, or Brandi. |
| Q30: If you ever met Iain in real life, what would you do? | I have, and I destroyed him with metal rulers... I should do that again sometime. =) |
| Q31: Whatever happened to the Axis of Anti-Iain? | I don't know, I heard rumours about a new management, but they might be trying to throw us off. |
| Q32: What's your favourite part of the Blue Report? | The revised Star Wars script, QD has quite an imagination. =D |
| Q33: Will people ever stop blaming Hobbie? | Always in motion the future is... that is, people do that less and less, no? |
| Q34: Who springs to mind when you hear: "That Man"? | Mr Gim. |
| Q35: Is there a sci-fi/fantasy character that reminds you of yourself? Who, and why? | I'd say Wedge is probably closest. He disregards odds, doesn't care much for authority and, at the same time, remains somewhat responsible. |
| Q36: What's your take on all the imaginary couples (or triplets) popping up in the forums? | It's entertaining, and another excuse to start arguments. I just hope no one takes it seriously... |
| Q37: Man In Hat is angry of how Vic Fontaine is treated at OTF. Do you agree? | Actually, he's not really angry about it, it's all part of his plot to take over OTF. Being in on that plot, I of course agree. =) |
| Q38: What is your favorite OTF activity? | Trivia! |
| Q39: If Iain goes suddenly quiet in OTF, how much do you panic? | Not at all. Iain is afraid of me, rather than the other way aroundm you see, =) |
| Q40: How do you try to explain OTF to outsiders? | I don't, usually, but I'd probably say it's a science fiction chatroom, if I was asked. |
| Q41: If everyone in OTF were to fight in "The Ultimate Showdown of OTF Destiny", who would win? | Svenja, hands down. She's good at diplomacy. |
| Q42: What are your nicknames at OTF (aside from your handle)? | Fry, Chip, Ray, :| Him :(, Famine, GFN, "You're fired! :o",... |
| Q43: Did you really think that there wouldn't be a question about Naberrie / eirrebaN? | Is it really a question about Naberrie / eirrebaN? |
| Q44: Naberrie: a moderating influence on Iain, or an inspiration to and encourager for him? | The latter, definitely. |
| Q45: Who's your "favorite goober"? (We know, we know - Amanda said we had to add this one.) | I'll tell you as soon as I find out what a goober is. |
| Q46: "I don't mind yearbook questions, but this here question is Iain-like!" ? | Sounds like lyrics to a song... |
| Q47: General comments? | Don't ever let Iain in charge of coming up with questions without filtering out some of them afterwards, ever. |
