FED
MEET AND GREET with KARISCATS, BARONESS of CATSCRADLE |
Kariscats says, "ohhhh I need some more hung up" Galinfenner says, "Tonight, we welcome a long time player, Kariscats." Redspice applauds... Galinfenner adjusts the lighting a little bit so it shines in Kari's eyes Sirglec applauds! Kariscats laughs and blinks "Kari, thanks for agreeing to be my victim tonight. I hope your arm isn't still hurting from the twist ?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats smiles, "no I've been able to take it out of the sling today" Galinfenner has given Kariscats a friendly tickle! Kariscats smiles sweetly Galinfenner asks, "Well, to begin, tell us how you first found Federation?" Sirglec exclaims, "Oooo... A cat smile! That's dangerous!" Kariscats hopes that he has bribed all of you with groats and lots of drinks so that you won't be too bored tonight Satine has appeared with a shimmer of teleportation effect. Galinfenner exclaims, "RIght, I knew there was something I forgot to do today!" Satine has given Galinfenner a friendly tickle! Satine smiles, "Heya Galinfenner" Kariscats exclaims, "omg you forgot!" Galinfenner quickly throws groats and beer to the audience "Hi Satine", says Galinfenner with a wink. Redspice chuckles... Sirglec chuckles. Satine swoons! Wyldcat chuckles "Now then, how you found Fed kari?", asks Galinfenner. "I first started playing in March of 97 by accident", says Kariscats. Galinfenner asks, "You ran into the website?" Galinfenner grins "That had to hurt!", exclaims Satine. "actually my son found it and at first I thought it was pretty stupid because he seemed to hang out a lot in the cantina and there was a lot of slapping going on most the time", says Kariscats. Redspice chuckles... Galinfenner chuckles "There was more than slapping from what I remember.", says Galinfenner. Kariscats winks and says, "well that too" Galinfenner grins Sirglec now knows why he avoids The Cantina. ;) Satine arches an eyebrow... Kariscats says, "it was a very different place then" "Yes, it was. Did your son show you the ropes?", asks Galinfenner. "he found his way out of the cantina and started hauling and I'm not sure why but I helped some, I think he got bored", says Kariscats. Galinfenner nods Kariscats exclaims, "so as I did more and more he got a little frustrated, and said if you want to play get your own name!" Galinfenner chuckles Sirglec chuckles. Kariscats says, "so I did, but that didn't make him too happy because we were on the same aol account so I ended up getting him his own aol acct." Galinfenner asks, "Does your son still play?" Kariscats winks and says, "which you'd think would have made him happy... except that it meant he had to start over, but since I'm the mom I won" Snowlily laughs Kariscats smiles, "no he doesn't anymore" "hehehehe", says Sirglec. "As always.", says Sirglec with a wink. Galinfenner laughs "Tell us about some of your early experiences.", says Galinfenner. "so I started Kariscats and I was scared to death to talk to people, there were nice people but also people who wanted to lure people to their death and a lot of death planets then", says Kariscats. Galinfenner nods Kariscats says, "so I felt my way around and didn't read the guide as much as I should" Galinfenner exclaims, "For shame!" Kariscats hangs her head in shame Galinfenner grins Redspice chuckles... "but once I made trader I was very excited and went to the cantina and announced that I'd been promoted", says Kariscats. Fancy says, "Ah well, you learned..." Kariscats whispers it was a bigger deal then "and someone told me Backdraft was a good place to trade so there I went", says Kariscats. Galinfenner says, "Trader was tough rank then. Not as many groats flying around." "I worked and worked, I got my first factories there", says Kariscats. Zyphr grins, "Backdraft... loved it there" Galinfenner nods Kariscats says, "it was, there weren't people giving you a lot of money, but people willing to help you work, but I didn't want money I wanted to do it" "I did have someone offer to give me money for stat puzzles, they said they'd been watching me and wanted to recruit me", says Kariscats. Galinfenner asks, "Yes, do it, that reminds me, did you have any love interests back then?" Galinfenner asks, "recruit you for a duchy?" "at that time Catty ran her own alignment of planets that were all women", says Kariscats. Kariscats says, "it made me nervous, I turned her down and the money, she laughed at me, but it was unusual then to have people offer you a lot of money" Galinfenner nods "i know what you mean", says Civicboy. Galinfenner says, "Cattysu was an unusual player." Kariscats smiles, "that she was" Zyphr grins in agreement Civicboy says, "i remember getting money from people that seemed like a lot then..now its nothing" Roslyn nods. Galinfenner asks, "So, who were your boyfriends?" Galinfenner gets back on point. Kariscats says, "I felt comfortable in Backdraft and made friends while waiting for enough profit in my factory cycles to promote" Kariscats laughs Kariscats winks and says, "there was a point to tonight?" Kariscats looks at her notes and wishes you'd told her that Galinfenner grins Civicboy smiles Kariscats was pretty boring "Well, as much as we want ther to be.", says Galinfenner. "Really? Didn't you once tell me about taking showers in your ship?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats says, "I was briefly engaged to Deiselpwr in Backdraft" "then Zephyron", says Kariscats. Kariscats winks and says, "and then I married Njrudeboy in April of 98 and still am, is that some kind of Fed record?" Kariscats says, "ahhhhhhhhhh the showers;" "well that wasn't all my fault", smiles Kariscats. "mmm... that could be a record. Don't know anyone else staying married that long.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "Anyway, back the shower." Kariscats smiles, "Unicorn was offering a class on taking showers and undressing for the spybeams" Civicboy giggles Njrudeboy is still squeaky clean from Kari's showers Haeger laughs "I think there's one couple that's been together about 7 years now.", says Fancy. Kariscats really thinks we should offer more classes like that Silverkat nudges Redspice Roslyn grins at SK. Kariscats grins "I wasn't a good student but with a lot of practice I became one of her star pupils", says Kariscats with a wink. Silverkat smiles over to Roslyn "and I do have a few showers on my planet so that I could practice a lot", says Kariscats. Kariscats winks and says, "practice makes perfect you know" Kariscats smiles virtuously Redspice makes note on "shower and how to undress class...." Zyphr thinks Karis should give us a demonstration ;) Silverkat winks and says, "and they say Cats ( or kats) dont like the water" Kariscats laughs Galinfenner chuckles Jazir smiles Redspice didn't know there was a certain way.... "and of course doing it for the spybeams puts a whole different emphasis on it", says Kariscats with a wink. Silverkat laughs Redspice laughs Kariscats thinks someone should bring back classes like that Silverkat says, "public showers" Galinfenner chuckles Galinfenner says, "That might be fun" "think how much more exciting it could be to spy people again", smiles Kariscats. Redspice flips through the manuel.... "not one word in here about how to do it right...", says Redspice. Zyphr nods at Redspice, "I've looked too!" "someone definitely needs to fix that!", exclaims Kariscats. Redspice chuckles... Roslyn takes Red's manuel and hands her the Real Manual. Galinfenner winks and says, "I'll write to Hazed" "good", smiles Kariscats. Zyphr perks, "Galin! Maybe you can hold the classes!" Redspice laughs "and if we're going to have all these boxerless people in fed, it'd be good if they were clean too!", exclaims Kariscats. Galinfenner chuckles Snowlily giggles "Hmmm.... a host getting locked... Cool!", exclaims Sirglec. Snowlily grins and nods to Sir Kariscats says, "now see that was it, it was suggestive definitely and fun, but it was the adult of adult fantasy space game" Galinfenner ponders "without being rated x", smiles Kariscats. Galinfenner nods Fancy smiles. Roslyn likes that. Zyphr winks and says, "Just NC 17" Redspice looks up from her notes... Kariscats laughs "Do you have anyone in particular who you consider a mentor?", asks Galinfenner. Sirglec exclaims, "No fun if it's not x-rated!" Kariscats says, "hmmmmm..." "if I undress for the shower....isn't that considered x rated??", asks Redspice. Zyphr whispers to Redspice, "Depends on HOW and WHO is watching I think" ;) "Nah... that's only R.", says Sirglec with a wink. Galinfenner says, "Depends how you do it I suppose." Kariscats says, "well you're undressed and you're describing your shower and what you're doing but not your body.." "People walk around Fed naked all the time.", says Galinfenner. Redspice says, "ummmmm...." "That could get to be X.", says Sirglec with a wink. Kariscats says, "first was Zephyron, he's a very old player and actually he doesn't play anymore" Roslyn says, "It's not even exciting if there isn't some tease to ones dress." Kariscats says, "but he was the first one to put factories on my brand new planet, I was nervous and wanted to be a good planetowner and it was different then" "and of course factories stayed on your planet for quite a long time", says Kariscats. "he had a planet of his own, but he had an alt starting over who's name was Ibeasnert", says Kariscats. Galinfenner says, "I remember that one. LOL" Kariscats says, "I learned a lot, and then Aldva too was a big help" Kariscats says, "and really all the planet owners in Backdraft at the time" Galinfenner asks, "You stayed in Backdraft quite awhile. What was it like there?" "Coffeeee, Jaws, Burner there were a bunch", says Kariscats. Kariscats says, "it was great, a great community, family" "that's why I played and stayed in Fed", says Kariscats. "we had fun, we had parties, we had fights too", says Kariscats. Zyphr smiles, "Backdraft was amazing... they helped a lot of people" "If you could change one thing about Fed, what would that be?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats says, "but my whole planet is full of locations written by people I knew in Fed, friends" Kariscats says, "well I think bringing back cycles" Njrudeboy still feels that Backdraft is his only true Fed home Kariscats says, "which I know is easy to say and not easy to do" Kariscats says, "but it's too easy to move up now and I don't think you truly appreciate it without taking the time to work for it" "Cycles for FO's you mean?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats says, "it's part of why I'm not a Duchess" "yes who you used to have to wait through two cycles to promote", says Kariscats. Fancy says, "As I recall, the main reason to make promotion from Merchant and JP now a fixed cumulative sum was so that players wouldn't have to cram while Fed was pay-by-the-minute, which isn't the case anymore." Kariscats says, "well that gave you time to learn the game, make friends" Kariscats says, "I wrote my planet during that time" Kariscats says, "and explored" Silverkat nods Redspice nods Kariscats says, "right it changed when it was pay by the hour" "Ok, now it's time to ask for questions from the floor...", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner looks over the crowd Zyphr raises her hand... "Zyphr", says Galinfenner. "So, what's your most embarassing Fed moment?", smiles Zyphr. Galinfenner grins Zyphr is innocent! Kariscats knew someone would ask something like that! Njrudeboy says, "sssshss Kari" "well...", says Kariscats. "actually this is probably one of Nj's also", says Kariscats with a wink. Kariscats says, "we can share it" Zyphr exclaims, "Ahh! a two for!" "Oh cool!", exclaims Galinfenner. "once right after we'd been married.. we were kinda well you know.. one thing leads to another and....", says Kariscats. Kariscats says, "and you know that there are people watching, but you don't always remember it or think they might be watching someone else.. but not this night" Zyphr chuckles... "well in teleports IceDrake with a scorecard!", exclaims Kariscats. Fancy smiles, "mmm hmmm..." Galinfenner laughs "and if that wasn't bad enough it wasn't even a good score!", exclaims Kariscats. "it was kinda low", says Njrudeboy. Zyphr exclaims, "ouch! LOL!" Silverkat laughs Fancy bursts out laughing. Redspice roflmao Kariscats thinks it's funny now Galinfenner says, "Oh man, that had to make you turn red." Zyphr smiles, "How upset were you?" "Tanya Harding had better scores than we got", says Njrudeboy. Galinfenner laughs Kariscats smiles, "so now I can guarantee that I am the most boring person to spy ever" Kariscats winks and says, "well except for my showering class" Galinfenner asks, "You have a class?" "unless they want to rade recipes", says Njrudeboy. Njrudeboy says, "err trade" "no you're going to Galin!", exclaims Kariscats. Kariscats reminds people Galin said he'd look into that "I said I'd write to Hazed", says Galinfenner with a wink. Zyphr nods, "I'd like a demo so I can see if the class will be worth my groats!" Kariscats laughs Redspice laughs and makes more notes... "Anyone else have a question?", asks Galinfenner. Silverkat raises a paw, with a question Roslyn doesn't think asking why the sky is blue would fit here. Galinfenner says, "Yes Silverkat.." Silverkat asks, "Karis, you said earlier that you did not want to go to Duchess .. why was that?" Kariscats whispers to Rosalyn because it's not yellow "well first I don't think there would be enough people to make a duchy", says Kariscats. Roslyn blinks and ahhs at Kariscats answer. Kariscats says, "but also to me because playing Fed is and was about the journey, not the destination" Njrudeboy smiles, "you would have me babe" "No but look at all the alts.", says Ford. "I was never in a hurry to get somewhere", says Kariscats. Kariscats smiles at Nj "well except after I dd'd a couple times fighting", says Kariscats. "and then I did come back quick with a lot of help from friends", says Kariscats. Redspice nods..."sort of like the shower....getting there is the fun part"? Njrudeboy frowns and says, "I did her in at least once" Galinfenner chuckles Kariscats likes the experience Kariscats grins "Really, how'd that happen?", asks Galinfenner. Redspice chuckles.. Kariscats says, "and Backdraft was an awesome duchy, I never felt I could do as well" Kariscats says, "both times I dd'd was fighting" Galinfenner asks, "Get too excited and forget to insure did you?" Kariscats says, "for ages I would never fight or take chances but then as Fed changed and I was a baroness I branched out and learned fighting" Galinfenner nods "and yes once, well both times I thought I'd typed it but I'd either typed it wrong or not in an insurance place", says Kariscats. Fancy says, "Ah, I guess a score to verify was in order." "and then I realized that it wasn't a horrible thing", says Kariscats. "Heh", says Galinfenner. "she was in too much of a hurry to kill me", says Njrudeboy. Galinfenner grins "I was still me and still had all my friends and lots of people who helped and it gave me something to do to get back up", says Kariscats. Kariscats winks and says, "well yes that was the bonus sweetie" Galinfenner asks, "Any other questions?" Galinfenner looks at the audience "Ok, Kari, what are your parting comments?", asks Galinfenner. "they are all full of turkey, Galin", says Silverkat. Kariscats also remembers being totally intimidated by Galinfenner cuz he was a bigshot in the game;) "Either that or they.. oh never mind.", says Galinfenner. "and you turned out to be a really nice person, skirt and all", says Kariscats with a wink. Snowlily is *still* intimidated! "Not here! Not now!", exclaims Roslyn. Silverkat says, "either that or .. they are practicing those showers" "Moi? hee hee. That was until you saw me trip over my own feet right?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats laughs Zyphr has never been intimidated by a man wearing a skirt ;) "It's not a skirt and I don't play field hockey.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner grins "You're so easy!", exclaims Zyphr. Kariscats exclaims, "oh I'm sorry kilt... kilt skirt... still isn't pants!" Roslyn grins and remembers reading where some guys had to lay down and roll to put on their kilt. "mmm... pigs in a blanket eh?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats remembers also hearing something about a tutu hmmmmm.. that came from Chili.... Roslyn chuckles. "you need to be a guest Galin... you are much more interesting than I am", smiles Kariscats. Galinfenner says, "I'm sure I will be. Been kinda saving that for when a scheduled guest can't show." Redspice says, "each is interesting in their own way...." Kariscats has enjoyed her time in Fed, it's sad though when I go through my planet sometimes and see how many friends are gone "but it's still a very special place to me", says Kariscats. Galinfenner nods Kariscats invites people to visit her planet Kariscats says, "there are restaurants and stores" Redspice wonders how many showers are on the planet? Zyphr makes a note... Galinfenner winks and says, "It's a fun place" Kariscats says, "and MzCindy's exotic boutique" Njrudeboy says, "lots of showers and beds" "with an unmatched selection of massage oils and other err toys", says Kariscats. Kariscats grins Zyphr winks and says, "And when will classes be held?" Redspice adds that to her list to explore... Galinfenner winks and says, "Nj can give you a tour I'm sure" "take a drink at the hard rude cafe", says Kariscats. Kariscats says, "yes there are lots of showers, some fun events" "I've explored it before.", says Fancy. "a ganja grenade", says Njrudeboy. "and Nj's own personal doghouse", says Kariscats with a wink. "used often", says Njrudeboy. Kariscats exclaims, "you can take a trip to paradise;) or take a shower.. or both!" Galinfenner chuckles Kariscats whispers that paradise is an event Redspice thinks the shower is an event.... "we taught a fed class so we experimented with what you could do", says Njrudeboy. Zyphr grins... Kariscats does have a shower event Kariscats grins Fancy says, "So you really can take a shower..." "Oo, have to check that one out.", says Galinfenner. Njrudeboy says, "so the planet has some good uses of objects and mobiles" Zyphr whispers to Galinfenner, "Let me know when you do" ;) Redspice smiles... Galinfenner winks Kariscats had fun putting it together Kariscats smiles, "and it has an arena for fighting" "Did you teach planet making classes?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats exclaims, "so whether you're a lover or a fighter... there's something for everyone!" Silverkat chuckles Kariscats is trying to remember what she taught Galinfenner chuckles "it was a basic what questions do you have about anything class", says Kariscats. Roslyn chuckles and thinks how neat...she taught it but forgot she did. "ahh I remember that.", says Galinfenner. "Anything else you'd like to share with us?", asks Galinfenner. Kariscats finds it helpful sometimes to forget things she's done;) Galinfenner winks and says, "Oh yeah, that's convenient sometimes." Silverkat grins a cheshsire grin .. about forgetting Kariscats says, "not really, I hope it hasn't been too boring, I told Galin I haven't had the most exciting life" Zyphr asks, "Do you stay in contact with the gang from Backdraft?" "I think we were all interested.", says Galinfenner. Zyphr was interested :) Kariscats says, "but I've enjoyed most of it and it's definitely been an important part of my life" Roslyn doesn't mean to forget it just happens. Galinfenner smiles, "Thanks again for being my victim" "some I still am in contact with, in the beginning some more than others", says Kariscats. "my fed children have all disappeared but I see them in IM's from time to time", says Kariscats. Zyphr nods, "They were very helpful to me when I came in originally... I really liked it there" Galinfenner says, "I miss Al and Dawn. They were good friends." "it really was a family and I miss them too, Al definitely was Backdraft", says Kariscats. Kariscats misses his jokes and sense of humor Roslyn ponders. "and even some of Galin Oiless jokes", says Kariscats. "I just miss the hot fireman gracing the spaceways", says Zyphr with a wink. "Anyway, enough nostalgia!... Next week our guest is going to be Gypsy.", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner grins Redspice applauds Kariscats.... Zyphr claps! Galinfenner says, "Oh yeah, the Oil and Oiless of BD... I'd forgotten that." Zyphr smiles, "Thanks Kariscats :) Thanks Galin" Silverkat applauds ..... thanks Kariscats "A special announcement!", exclaims Galinfenner. Galinfenner says, "In three weeks our guest is going to be Bella! that's the Sunday before Christmas." Kariscats exclaims, "oh cool!" Roslyn says, "Alright" "Ahh, very cool!", exclaims Zyphr. "Ooooooo", says Menotknow. "When is it Galin?", asks Zyphr. Galinfenner smiles, "Yeah, I'm exicited." "That would be Dec....", says Galinfenner. Galinfenner checks his calendar "very interesting meet and greet....thanks to both of you", smiles Redspice. Galinfenner says, "Dec 22" "Thank you all for coming and making the show!", exclaims Galinfenner. "No, when is it Galin's turn?", says Zyphr with a wink. Kariscats asks, "one thing I miss and he wasn't even in my duchy was BigShells singing does anyone remember that?" "Without you all, it would not be here", says Galinfenner with a wink. Galinfenner grins Zyphr doesn't remember that... Galinfenner says, "Bigshell... I remember BigFanboy tooting." Kariscats laughs Zyphr laughs! Fancy says, "I think I remember seeing BigShell online before." "omg I remember that too", says Kariscats. Kariscats smiles, "I met him exploring duchies, and he was a fun person" Zyphr asks, "I loved exploring! Remember FilmNoir?" Kariscats isn't sure Galinfenner says, "Filmnoir.. yes." Fancy says, "I remember that planet a bit..." "It was great!", exclaims Zyphr. Zyphr winks and says, "Remember Stage?" "What was his name...", says Galinfenner. "Nick?", asks Zyphr. Kariscats nods Galinfenner says, "Nick.. yes." Galinfenner says, "Nickdanger" Zyphr says, "yes.. Nick Danger..." Zyphr chuckles Zyphr met him in Boston ;) Galinfenner smiles, "Thanks again everyone. I need to get going." |
