Interview with Gadget

"OMG YOU'RE A GIRL?"

So today I spent time with the wonderful Gadget, winner of Lumina Idol, Co-Owner of Fusion Dance and general chitty chatter in-game. I decided I'd interview her for the blog and this will be the first of many other interviews with different players in-game. The interview took approximately over an hour due to the constant and general chit-chattery.

Arie:
So, first of all, congratulations on winning Lumina Idol, how does it feel to know you're the best singer on LuminaRO?
Gadget:
I like cake.
Arie:
Nice answer, but in all seriousness, how does it feel to have been voted the winner?
Gadget:
Well, I've always known I was a decent singer, so I kind of expected to place. But to be voted #1 was really nice. Does that...does that sound like I'm full of myself? I just know where my talents lie, that's all. :| Don't ever put me in a dance competition.
Arie:
What did you do with your winnings?
Gadget:
I haven't done anything with them yet, but I plan on donating some to Lumina Idol 2, if we have it. Also, I think I want to open the OCAs in front of Wyrd so she can see what kind of awesome (or crappy) cards I got from her event. And this was my first time seeing the description fo speed potions...speed up for 5 seconds? REALLY? What can you do in 5 seconds...although I guess it's helpful if you need to rush to the bathroom. >o>
Arie:
Do you prefer player-held events such as this or GM-led events and why?
Gadget:
Player-held events are not as advertised, so there is less competition, but GM-held events provide headgears that you can only obtain from those events. GMs also have the advantage of spawning monsters and such, so I don't think it's fair to compare, since GMs have the ability to hold the same kinds of events that players hold, but not vice versa. I might pick player-held events because of the lack of competition. :X
Arie:
You're quite well known in the LuminaRO community, do you still play as characters or just sit about and chat?
Gadget:
It's been a long time since I've done anything other than sit around. I will very rarely join parties with my friends now. And thanks to the new IRC channel, I plop my butt in there and chat as well.
Arie:
What got you into RO in the first place and how long and where have you been playing?
Gadget:
I saw a screenshot from a webcomic 8 years ago of Ragnarok Online when it was in its alpha stage. I eventually downloaded the client (OMG so painful on a dial-up) when the first beta opened, and have been playing since then. I used to pretend to be a guy, and I don't want that revealed, so I'm going to stop talking now. Arie:
And how did you happen to come across LuminaRO?
Gadget:
Actually, LuminaRO was my 2nd private server after I stopped pretending to be a guy. I believe my first was Ragnarok Revolution, and I never met anyone with whom I clicked. So I moved on to another server and found Lumina. :D Been here since December 2009! CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW FAST TIME PASSES?
Arie:
What's your favourite thing about LuminaRO and why?
Gadget:
You, Arie. <3 You're my favorite thing. BECAUSE YOU ARE SO CUDDLY WUDDLY.
Arie:
And let's be fair, what do you dislike the most about LuminaRO and why?
Gadget:
I hate that the jack be dandies are used for slotted mid-headgears. It's been my favorite headgear since it first got introduced to RO, and I just don't think it makes sense to have this item be used for that. I would prefer a new item be put into an OBB to be used as an ingredient.
Arie:
I'm personally dying to know, why do you like Gypsies so much? And if you like them so much, why don't you make one of your own? Or do you secretly have one? :P
Gadget:
I don't have a gypsy, because I think it's weird to ogle at myself. Gypsies are hawt, man :| Especially the sitting pose...the way they lean back. :D It's as if they're saying "Come over to me~" TEEHEE.
Arie:
You are friends with a lot of staff members, let's be controversial and find out who your favourite is and why?
Gadget:
This is a really mean question, Arie. I will never ever say you are my favorite just because of this question alone, jerkface. Anyway...Wyrd is probably my favorite staff member. I think she is very professional with her forum posts, as well as being very approachable. She takes the time to be thorough with her explanations so that people understand fully the answers to their questions.
Arie:
You are known for being in Social Guilds, why have you never started one of your own?
Gadget:
Simple answer: LAZY.
Arie:
Why do you prefer social guilds? Why don't you like WoE or PvP?
Gadget:
Being aggressive with violence was never in my nature. Back in junior high, when I was on the basketball team and the girls on the opposing team would shove me, I NEVER shoved back. And just because it's virtual doesn't mean it's not violent, dammit!
Arie:
And since everyone really wants to know, are you really a girl?
Gadget:
Why does everyone ask me that? Clearly from the sound of my voice, I am an adolescent boy.
Arie:
So you're confirming that you are a boy then? :P
Gadget:
YES, I AM A GIRL. Who likes other girls. Gypsies pls call, my number is (number withheld for personal reasons, but it did involve the good old GO-GADGE). Yes. the last "T" is cut off. Oh well.
Arie:
Why the male characters?
Gadget:
Because I'm butch in real life (that means a girl who dresses/acts like a guy...not a typo of the um...female dog), so I felt the male characters were more fitting to my personality.
Arie:
Lastly, if you could be remembered for anything on LuminaRO, what would it be?
Gadget:
"OMG GADGET IS A GIRL?"

I hope you enjoyed it and remember guys, if you want to join the LuminaRO IRC channel join DeltaAnime.Net's IRC server and the channel is #LuminaRO!

Arie~
