Who are you?
Mama Chay, of course, aka Chay Chay because all my characters are named some variation of Chay. Oh you meant in rl?! Deborah, wife of Jay (Rand/Aeron/Mo) mother of 2 (him: 24, her: 22) and den-mother* to millions...I am having deja vu.
*Den-mother: one who accompanies and supervises gatherings of young people | a person who is seen in the role of protector of a group
What's your location?
The *real* Vancouver. In beautiful British Columbia, Canada
How long have you played Guild Wars?
+1800 hours and counting....sigh. The confirmation email for buying it online is date April 6, 2005. It's all Zoink's fault for telling us about 'this new online rpg game.'
What are your favorite characters?
I have 4, they are all named some variation of Chay. I love to play support characters the best (ele, monk, necro), except that I have this most undeserved reputation for forgetting what support means and tanking with my characters instead. I don't know who started this slander campaign but I want it to stop. And anyhow, what the heck is so wrong about an ele or monk going toe-to-toe with a warrior and almost taking him down? Huh?? Pfft, kites are for kids.
What is your gaming background?
Oh my, I remember playing Pong in the pubs fer gods sake. Heros/Space/Kings Quest is where I really got hooked on rpg's though. Until GW I was a Might and Magic afficiando, Diablo I & II but not online, Baldurs, Neverwinter, Dungeon Siege.
What is your online experience?
Peers back thru the mists of time to In The Beginning.... Jay was my consultant to get the company I was working for at the time online and into the WWW, that's how we met. Once the web started so did my 3rd career. I think that was sometime round '92.
How long have you been in TeG?
August '05. I met up with Alyx, Aangy and Dio in the staging area of either Ring of Fire or Abbadons Mouth and it was love at first mission. I was with The Bolsheviks at that time and we were looking to merge with another guild. By the time we finished that mission together we were soulmates and I dragged Lord Mat with us to the next mission to "meet this guild of terrific ppl that we could be a fit with." TB and TEG merged three weeks later and I've been tp'ing Dio's visor ever since.
What do you like best about TeG?
The willingness of members to drop everything to respond immediately to a call of nekkid dance party! LOL. I heart the online social interaction of the guild. I love being able to chat with everyone while questing either in guild chat or on ts. In retrospect, that's the piece that was always missing from past rpg's.
What is your favorite Guild Wars moment?
Laughing myself sick while questing with the group and wreaking utter carnage on mobs. Oh wait, that's pretty much most of the time. The TB/TEG merge. Coming back from an afk to find that my character had been mercilessly abused by Dio and Mat. The crazed run between Mad King appearances to get someone from Yak's to LA -- including powering thru 2 missions. Mat and I farming SF with our 2 necros and a few henchies every single night for about a month straight. The KoTL/TEG merge. GvG and the dicklips incident. The infamous dance of defiance on the rez shrine when we made Observer TV. Glint kills (note the plural) and end game completion for my girls. Capping that final elite in my characters rosters. Turning the soul-destroying Thunderhead mission into a friggin cakewalk with the guildies. The chaos of Wintersday and Halloween events. RL women gamers of GW meet and recruiting our much beloved Effie. Playing superfluous meat shield decoy for Adara and Phrista on IDS runs. The Tombs/UW/FoW guild runs. Being led across the entirety of Tyria by a certain blonde mezzie in high heels during PvE or die weekend with Lillyan Daylight's guild. The utter havoc and sheer exhilaration of 12 x 12 on FPE weekend. The sync dancing. The nekkid dance parties.
What's on your mouse pad?
*peels layers of dried coffee and dust away to reveal something that may have been a mousepad once but now is merely dust held together by dried coffee* Maybe I need to consider a trackball too.
Why am I here?
To blow sunshine up everybody's asses. Friggin get used to it already.
If you could talk with anyone living or dead, who would it be?
Sheesh, I already talk to everybody everywhere I go, including myself... who could I have possibly left out?
