Person Interviewed: Bria Terrik (CL7) [2006-08-03]

Q1: Where are you from? Germania, although I prefer to say Hibernia because it's a much nicer place.
Q2: Best and worst thing about OTF? Best thing - meeting people with the same interests and so on.
Worst thing - people end up getting upset about things that can be cured with the touch of a button!
Q3: Who out of OTF would you elect the leader of your country? AJ, him being a dictator and all that... it'd be fun to watch. Either he'd drive the country into the ruin, or the country would drive him into ruin.
Q4: What is your tagline? "Never tell me the odds!" or, more recently, "I am not a committee", following certain accusations.
Q5: Which sci-fi/fantasy movie or show would you want to be in? If I'm perfectly honest? None!
Q6: Are you nostalgic about the "old" OTF? Which parts? I protest! I'm not old enough to be familiar with any of that.
Q7: What change do you feel has been most beneficial for OTF? The CCC's chat top. I feel very strongly that the change of graphics has influenced the site in its entirety. You can see subtle nuances of it everywhere. I believe that the new chat top has made OTF, nay, the entire world, a better place.
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? To Capri to enjoy a nice long holiday, secure in the knowledge that everything here is in safe hands.
Q9: What chat themed room would you add to OTF? I... wouldn't! I liked the Lost chatroom they had a while back, but Shane drove me mad with it, so I don't want another one!!
Q10: If you had IAIN-like Powers in OTF... what precisely would you do? Give them back to whoever gave them to me and wish them good luck and have fun with the headache!
Q11: Why do you think OTF has lasted so long? Because Andrew somehow managed to scrape together the necessary funds, and because they used good quality HTML and coding... not the crappy stuff you get in the local Aldi. That rusts as soon as you just look at it... man, I hate Aldi.
Q12: Which smiley should The Powers That Be include next in the chatrooms? An anti-Aldi smiley.
Q13: Who IS/are "The Powers That Be"? Powers that be what? You can't just be... you have to be something. So whoever these "Powers that be" are, they have a poor sense of grammar.
Q14: What about OTF has kept you returning? The people I've met here!
Q15: Where were you nine years ago, and what were you doing? On a campsite in Carne, Ireland. I can't recall precisely what I was doing, though. Possibly playing outside.
Q16: Has Jon ever "Happened" to you? Not that I recall! People generally seem to be too scared to happen to me.
Q17: What memories from the last two years stick out most in your mind? I presume you're talking OTF-related memories... ah, the various unions, I guess. Of those, Chesterfield, because it's the most recent!
Q18: Who's your partner in crime from these last two years in the chats? Not Most assuredly not being a Syndicate member, I have several.
Q19: What crimes have you committed with this partner in crime? We don't commit crimes so much as... cause things to happen that some people don't agree with.
Q20: What do you think the Senators really do? I can tell you what this one does: draw portraits and code HTML.
Q21: If OTF was a real place, what would your quarters look like? Chaotic, with everything exactly where it should be.
Q22: What holodeck program would you make for yourself? I... wouldn't.
Q23: If you could choose your own clearance level, which would you want - and why? I'm happy with what I have, really. That said, I liked being CL6, because I liked being a commander. But captain's not bad, either!
Q24: What sci-fi/fantasy character do you like the most? Do you have to ask that? Come on... you know this one! Scoundrel. About this tall, dark hair, reckless, cocky, lopsided grin. Solo. Yeah, that's the one.
Q25: And which character don't you like? Anakin Skywalker, Jar Jar Binks, and the entire cast of Star Trek!
Q26: If you were in charge of OTF for one day, what would you do? Put my feet up, turn off the computer, then come back the next day to see what happened and how lost everyone was without me!
Q27: Who do you know best from OTF? Probably Ray. That's Hobbie to those of you who haven't copped on yet.
Q28: Have you met any OTF Members in real life? If so, what was it like? I've met several, actually... I can say this much: Real life pwns chat room. It's so much more fun!
Q29: Of every OTF member you haven't met, who would you most like to meet in real life? Probably Eagle, actually.
Q30: If you ever met Iain in real life, what would you do? I've met him already... three times. If I were to meet him again, I'd go up to him and say "Hey!" - as usual. What kind of question is this?!
Q31: Whatever happened to the Axis of Anti-Iain? I guess they got bored and went home. Probably drunk. Possibly hand in hand, although that's more guessing on my part.
Q32: What's your favourite part of the Blue Report? The re-written SW script!
Q33: Will people ever stop blaming Hobbie? I doubt it... it's an epidemic that had already made the leap from OTF into real life and is all set to spread all over the world like news reports and Coca Cola.
Q34: Who springs to mind when you hear: "That Man"? Ray, because I was there for that MSN conversation!
Q35: Is there a sci-fi/fantasy character that reminds you of yourself? Who, and why? Eh, not really. I'm too complex to be summed up like that.
Q36: What's your take on all the imaginary couples (or triplets) popping up in the forums? Uhm... the imaginary ones are imaginary. I can state that with absolute certainty!
Q37: Man In Hat is angry of how Vic Fontaine is treated at OTF. Do you agree? I don't know Man in Hat and I haven't seen him in a while, so I can neither agree nor disagree on whether he's angry or not.
Q38: What is your favorite OTF activity? I have to say Trivia, don't I? Although, if Union activities count, it'd be a different story...
Q39: If Iain goes suddenly quiet in OTF, how much do you panic? I don't panic, because I know it's most likely either because he's on the phone, or he fell of his chair. And even if he didn't, the chances that I have something to panic about are about the same as the chances of successfully navigating an asteroid field... and Iain is no Han Solo. *g*
Q40: How do you try to explain OTF to outsiders? I say "It's a sci-fi chatroom. You know, Star Wars and stuff. Lightsabers. Anyway, some of the people are really nice."
Q41: If everyone in OTF were to fight in "The Ultimate Showdown of OTF Destiny", who would win? SG, after hiding in the shadows for most of it and getting me to do most of the work for him. =(
Q42: What are your nicknames at OTF (aside from your handle)? She Who Must Be Obeyed, Ice Queen, Avenja, Agent 0007, Brianess, Angel, sweetheart, ahh... that's all I can think of right now, although there are definitely more!
Q43: Did you really think that there wouldn't be a question about Naberrie / eirrebaN? About who? Never crossed my mind!
Q44: Naberrie: a moderating influence on Iain, or an inspiration to and encourager for him? A test subject for his chat-session manipulation. Let's call her a guinea pig. A hypercaffeinated one, perhaps, Iain? =)
Q45: Who's your "favorite goober"? (We know, we know - Amanda said we had to add this one.) What is a goober, and why do I have a favourite one?
Q46: "I don't mind yearbook questions, but this here question is Iain-like!" ? Pfft, the whole thing is just questions about Iain. I'm Trivia TL - give me some real questions!
Q47: General comments? I prefer General Solo. Also, I wish it to be known that I dislike Aldi shops.
