%WyrmWind: hello
%WyrmWind: and welcome to your interview (if youre ready)
@Rainshaft: Hello :P
%WyrmWind: What interested you in joining survivor in the first place?
@Rainshaft: Good question :P
%WyrmWind: :P
@Rainshaft: I remember I found PS because I found some forum posts elsewhere about it
@Rainshaft: So I joined PS because I liked playing rated battles and because the registration process was really easy
%WyrmWind: i agree with that :P
@Rainshaft: Yeah
%WyrmWind: follow up is:
@Rainshaft: I usually don't register for things that ask for an email or birthday
%WyrmWind: ah well act lets go to q2
@Rainshaft: Okay :P
@Rainshaft: But I found Survivor because I got bored and I wanted to find somewhere that I didn't need to talk
%WyrmWind: ok
@Rainshaft: I was (and still am) very careful about Internet privacy
%WyrmWind: i also care about that
@Rainshaft: So Survivor attracted me at first because I could play the game without saying much in chat
%WyrmWind: thats true
%WyrmWind: and heres your second question
%WyrmWind: What interested you most about the room?
%WyrmWind: when you joined ofc
@Rainshaft: Well, that was the initial thing that got me into Survivor
@Rainshaft: But then I got more accustomed to it
%WyrmWind: like what motivated you to stay in surv
@Rainshaft: Hmm
@Rainshaft: I think I just liked having a community to be in
@Rainshaft: I've always really liked being active in online communities
@Rainshaft: And as I got more used to Survivor, the hosting part began to attract me
%WyrmWind: im going to say this: i felt the same way
@Rainshaft: Yes :D
%WyrmWind: next question
%WyrmWind: What is your favorite aspect of survivor (themes, hosting, etc.)?
@Rainshaft: Definitely the hosting
%WyrmWind: Curious question now:
@Rainshaft: The Survivor hosting experience is unique
%WyrmWind: Is players vs. host your fav theme?
@Rainshaft: Not really :P
%WyrmWind: just wondering :P
@Rainshaft: I don't think I have much of a favorite theme, actually
@Rainshaft: Although I do prefer hosting some themes over others
@Rainshaft: I think hosting Survivor is unique because we really get freedom to make up our own stories
@Rainshaft: With other game rooms I think there's less of that
%WyrmWind: thats true, and i would like to add that putting a storyline into games makes them more interesting in my opinion
@Rainshaft: Indeed :P
@Rainshaft: Both to play and to host
%WyrmWind: yes
%WyrmWind: next q coming shortly
%WyrmWind: How would you describe yourself irl vs on PS?
@Rainshaft: Ooh, that's a really good question
@Rainshaft: I've actually been finding that my online self has actually helped me become more confident in real life
%WyrmWind: interesting
@Rainshaft: But they're not polar opposites
%WyrmWind: cool
@Rainshaft:I would say, though
@Rainshaft: My online self is slightly more optimistic
@Rainshaft: But not by that much :P
%WyrmWind: lol
@Rainshaft: Hmm, peppy would probably a better word now that I think of it
@Rainshaft: :P
%WyrmWind: ik you answered this earlier, but if you were to have a list of your top 3 themes, what would they be?
@Rainshaft: Well
@Rainshaft: I just realized that I now have 50 themes that I know how to host :o
%WyrmWind: wow, congrats!
@Rainshaft:Survivor Party's always been fun to host
@Rainshaft:Casino's also really nice
@Rainshaft: And I remember Welcome to our Chat was the first unofficial I hosted
@Rainshaft: So that was really good too :P
%WyrmWind: that theme had me hooked for months
%WyrmWind: i love it still
%WyrmWind: (welcome to our chat)
@Rainshaft: :P
@Rainshaft: One day we might just make a webpage for it :P
%WyrmWind: i hope you do :)
@Rainshaft: Well, I don't have site powers
@Rainshaft: XD
%WyrmWind: XD
%WyrmWind: Which PS user would you say has had the biggest influence on your PS life?
@Rainshaft: Whoa, what a question
@Rainshaft: Hmm
@Rainshaft: I remember when I first came here
@Rainshaft: Guishark was still a reg and zyg was stratospheres (or something like that)
%WyrmWind: >gui as a reg
@Rainshaft: I know, it's amazing :P
%WyrmWind: i never saw that :P
@Rainshaft: And I think OM was a moderator
@Rainshaft: But just a room one, not global
@Rainshaft: I think seeing their growth has influenced me as well
%WyrmWind: good answer
@Rainshaft: A nice trio of dedicated individuals to the room
@Rainshaft: :P
%WyrmWind: How much, in your opinion, have you seen yourself grow over your time in surv
@Rainshaft: Wow, really philosophical questions here :P
%WyrmWind: :P
@Rainshaft: Well, I certainly wouldn't have imagined myself getting this far
%WyrmWind: i cant imagine myself getting any further
@Rainshaft: The fact that I got a computer that I don't need to share definitely helped
%WyrmWind: LOL
@Rainshaft: But if you told me when I came in that I would be a moderator, I would have been very surprised
%WyrmWind: What else would you like to say to our friends in survivor?
@Rainshaft: Hmm
@Rainshaft: To all our regs: learn how to host Survivor, it's worth it :D
%WyrmWind gives @Rainshaft candy
@Rainshaft:Oh wow, thanks :P
