Fed Meet and Greet with Rikkytikki

October 18, 1998

"Perhaps you'd like to be tonight's guest, Rikky?", asks Chiefsgirl.

Chiefsgirl smiles

"umm ummm", says Rikkytikki.

"Yeah, Rikky, you're a famous geek PO, you can do it!", exclaims Belleinva.

Chiefsgirl smiles encouragingly

Chiefsgirl exclaims, "And you've returned!"

Rikkytikki says, "I'm not particularly interesting, like my sweet hubby"

Chiefsgirl smiles, "Tell us all about it"

"Ohhhhh......where to start", smiles Rikkytikki.

"Well, everyone is fascinating", says Chiefsgirl.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Start at the beginning... when did you first find this universe?"

Rikkytikki says, "Well...one day I was bored playing trivial pursuit online and browsed thru the gaming channel looking for something new."

Rikkytikki says, "I found Fed, and decided to give it a shot...this must have been...ohhhh"

Rikkytikki says, "It'll be 3 years this February"

Chiefsgirl boggles

Belleinva applauds

Rikkytikki says, "I started out in Fed with the name of Kewlness....."

Chiefsgirl loves hosting this cause she always feels so young

Rikkytikki says, "Well....I came in and was completely confused, the nav on duty was Ghost11, Duke of Carroll"

"He has since then DD'd himself", says Rikkytikki with a frown.

"so sad", says Chiefsgirl with a frown.

"Well....I did the normal hauling stuff.....I hauled for Rsqbzns, and Dooeee", smiles Rikkytikki.

Elin asks, "you hauled for dooeee? really?"

"Most of the time, I helped others with the GM puzzle...since it was required back then, and learned a lot along the way", says Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki nods.

Elin didnt know that

Chiefsgirl knew Elin would perk at Dooeeee's name

Chiefsgirl winks at Elin

Elin nods

"Then after a few cycles at Merchie, and a few more at JP, I finally made the profit to promote, and all I needed was to do the puzzle", says Rikkytikki.

"If I remember correctly, it took me 3 or 4 good tries, do to puzzle snerts, mainly KingFlooty", says Rikkytikki.

Chiefsgirl chuckles cause Rikky remembers who the snert was

Rikkytikki says, "some people had to do it more to make it"

"I finally made it, and back then we just had to do the 50,000 tons of hauling to get to explorer", says Rikkytikki.

Chiefsgirl is thankful she didn't have to do snark to promote

"Then I made the profit with my factories, and a little help from MistyBH, PO of Dropzone", says Rikkytikki.

"And finally got my little planet , which I lovingly called Doh", smiles Rikkytikki.

Elin smiles, "doh"

"Unfortunately Kewlness suffered an AOL deletion accident and I lost Doh", smiles Rikkytikki.

Chiefsgirl likes that name

Rikkytikki exclaims, "Doh!"

Rikkytikki says, "The neat thing was that the first person to help me in the game was also my first Duke....I joined Carroll..."

Rikkytikki smiles, "In fact, and she won't admit she was ever a PO, but that "vile" weasel use to be in there with me"

"I think Poco admitted she was a PO when she was here", says Chiefsgirl.

Rikkytikki smiles, "Well, when I lost Doh.....actually the night

I was trying for the TTTT record......I started with RikkyTikki"

"Naturally I had a lot of help getting back up to baroness and getting a porter again ::amen::", says Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki asks, "Any questions so far?"

Belleinva raises her hand

"Yes Belle?", asks Chiefsgirl.

Rikkytikki points to Belle, "yes?" :P

Belleinva asks, "Why are your feet painted blue and brown?"

Rikkytikki giggles.

Chiefsgirl looks at Rikky's feet again

"Well...my little mongooses have a school project and umm.....well..", says Rikkytikki.

"Well....I got back up there....My planet was in Neverland, umm....Bourbon, and finally Gigglez.....", says Rikkytikki.

"now that i'm back, i'm in Weasel", smiles Rikkytikki.

Chiefsgirl smiles

"And when did you meet Dilvish and get involved with him?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"What is your most memorable fed moment?", asks Belleinva.

Chiefsgirl loves all this audience participation

"Well....we were at the same fed party, and I dared him to marry me", smiles Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki smiles, "I do believe Tbar performed the ceremony"

"As you probably know, I took a year long break from fed, due to RL things...", says Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki smiles, "But when I came back a few months ago, the sweet thing was still waiting on me"

Chiefsgirl smiles

"That's wonderful", says Chiefsgirl.

"it is...", says Elin.

Rikkytikki asks, "Most memorable fed moment?"

Rikkytikki hmmms...

Rikkytikki smiles, "Well....probably when Dilvish and I got married"

Chiefsgirl asks, "Was it a big ceremony?"

"At first it was just kinda a joke, but who coulda known it would turn into a wonderful loving frienship", smiles Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki smiles, "Oh yeah....and also when Kissy became Duchesse"

Rikkytikki smiles, "She is my very best friend here in Fed, I just love her to death!! We had such a great party the night she went to Horsell"

Chiefsgirl says, "I've never known anyone to promote to Duke, I'm looking forward to that"

Rikkytikki smiles, "My Fed life hasn't been terribly exciting"

Chiefsgirl asks, "I met you at the fighting events, have you always been involved in that?"

"i have a question", says Elin.

Elin says, "do cg's"

Rikkytikki says, "Well...not really, I was really good friends with Gerndog and Niteghost, and they taught me how to fight."

Chiefsgirl smiles, "And then yours Elin"

"When I became a nav, I started to MC the fighting events", says Rikkytikki.

"and you do a wonderful job!", exclaims Chiefsgirl.

"I fought regularlike in Capture the Flag......and sometimes i'd like to challenge Deathiscome to a duel, but I never beat him", smiles Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki blushes and you see smoke coming out of her ears!

"And your question, Elin?", asks Chiefsgirl.

Rikkytikki smiles.

"I've been back about two months now, and i'm loving this new atmosphere, unlike with 700 players at a time.", says Rikkytikki.

"oh... say its about naving... you ever want to just tell so of the newbies to go take a hike?", asks Elin.

Rikkytikki says, "I'm also back to being a nav, and helping with some events"

"any more questions?", asks Rikkytikki.

"i am taking that as a no then?", asks Elin.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Elin asked about naving.... do you ever feel like telling newbies to take a hike?"

"yeah you got some megs i can have rikkytikki", says Thyse with a wink.

Rikkytikki asks, "i'm sorry, did I miss it?"

Elin thwaps thyse

"Ohh......I think back in AOL days I felt like it a lot", says Rikkytikki.

"But these days everyone seems to be so cordial...so, nawh, not lately", says Rikkytikki.

Elin says, "i just wondered"

"well he asked", says Thyse.

"i mean she", says Thyse.

Rikkytikki is a she:)

Chiefsgirl likes new folks coming in

"How did you get to become a nav?", asks Chiefsgirl.

Rikkytikki says, "Hmm....well, back on AOL Fed, I learned thru a friend that they were taking applications, and requested one, filled it out, and they decided to let me help out"

Rikkytikki says, "Umm...thinking of interesting things"

"What are your plans for the future Rikky? want to be a duchess?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"Oh no!! Never wanted to be a Duchess", smiles Rikkytikki.

Chiefsgirl laughs

"Why?", asks Chiefsgirl.

Rikkytikki says, "Mostly I just like coming in here and helping out the players, and talking to my old friends"

Chiefsgirl nods

Rikkytikki says, "I don't feel like I want to put forth that kind of responsibility"

Rikkytikki smiles, "Too much fun being care free"

Antonia smiles and nods

Pooch nods and agrees

Rikkytikki says, "I have mad a lot of good friends along the way.....some have become great RL friends as well"

Chiefsgirl glances at Pooch and wonders who he thinks he's fooling

"There are a lot of great people in Fed", smiles Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki smiles.

Antonia smiles, "true there are now"

Chiefsgirl smiles, "And that is the point of it all I suppose"

Chiefsgirl asks, "Any other questions?"

Belleinva raises her hand

"Yeah....I think everyone has their own purpose for being here.....It's nice to sometimes pretend to be a Mongoose, and escape reality", smiles Rikkytikki.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Yes Belle?"

"Where is your husband?", asks Belleinva.

Rikkytikki smiles.

Chiefsgirl laughs

Rikkytikki giggles. Well....poor Dilvish, i'm sure his RL wrangled him to the ground and wouldn't let him up.

"Thanks for filling in for your absentee husband Rikky", smiles Chiefsgirl.

Chiefsgirl has given Rikkytikki a hot hug!

Rikkytikki smiles.

"Well....thanks for having me", smiles Rikkytikki.

Rikkytikki has given Chiefsgirl a sloppy hug!

"And thank you all for coming tonight", says Chiefsgirl.

Rikkytikki pats her red face.....

"Next week's guest will be Andy, Baron of Redwall", smiles Chiefsgirl.

Chiefsgirl smiles, "same time, same place"

Antonia smiles, "no problem Chiefsgirl. always enjoy learning"

"Thanks everyone...have a great time playing Fed", smiles Rikkytikki.

Looking for some dirt to roll in Rikkytikki has just disappeared.
