MEET AND GREET WITH KALANDRA

Wednesday July 9, 2008

Angelfowl smiles, "Mkay, Lets get started, First off thank you Kal for volunteering to be a vic---err guest this evening :)"

Kalandra says, "No problem glad to do my part for um, society"

Congene says, "here here, and all that"

Angelfowl giggles, "Good, and we're all happy that you did volunteer," smiles, "Now first off, How long have you been playing Fed?"

Kblackdragon says, "Man, couldn't you have pleaded guilty to the crime you committed? Y'know, life in prison is a small price to pay compared to this."

Kalandra says, "well I got started in fed classic a couple of times back in the AOHell days back in 98"

Congene says, "they said if Kal did this they'd reduce the 2 life sentences in half"

Kalandra exclaims, "I admit to nothing!"

Angelfowl nods, and giggles, "Okay okay settle down everyone." shakes her head, "How did you find Fed?"

Kalandra says, "lucky for me AOL had already gone unlimited... believe it or not, my mom got me hooked on it... she was as addicted as anyone for the longest time."

Kalandra says, "we always fought over who got to use the AOL account to log on"

Angelfowl giggles, "Sounds awesome,"

Kalandra says, "not really"

Kalandra says, "this was back in the days of spybeams"

Kalandra says, "and I never knew if she was watching since she waaaaaaaaaay outranked me"

Congene snickers.

Angelfowl says, "Eep! that had to be interesting, make sure you keep in line huh? :P"

Kalandra says, "talk about feeling paranoid"

Angelfowl nods

Kalandra says, "I had to be on my best behavior... what was worse was for a while she was even staff"

Kblackdragon smiles, "Wow...I can't imagine that...I'll have to see if your mom has any logs. :)"

Angelfowl asks, "Yikes! Who was your mom? and you?"

Kalandra wrinkles her nose at Kb

Kalandra says, "I dont' remember my mom's screen name and the only one I remember was "Happydance" my planet cubeville was modeled after Dilbert and was admittedly kinda lame"

Angelfowl asks, "Happydance?"

Angelfowl giggles, "Sorry funny name." smiles

Angelfowl asks, "How did you find Fed2?"

Kalandra says, "yeah, you know how Dilbert is always doing the "happy dance?" Character names were hard to come by and I didnt' want umpteen numbers after my name."

Angelfowl nods

Kalandra drawls, "How I found fed2...."

Racingnut is logged into the game.

Kalandra says, "Well I had just moved back to the states from Germany about 3 years ago and remembered fondly my days in Fed and wondered if it was still around, wasn't sure about paying to play it again so went to the IBGames website for giggles and there it was! and it was free... oh joy of joys."

Angelfowl giggles, "I bet that was an exciting day!"

Kalandra says, "Yeah, I didn't put the computer away for about a week,"

Angelfowl giggles, "Sounds like a lot of fun! Make any friends in Classic or Fed2 that aren't around anymore?

Racingnut has bought you a pint of Diesel's Old Peculiar strong dark ale.

Kalandra says, "I honestly dont' remember a lot of my friends from classic... there were soooo many characters... Lost a lot of friends after THE BIG ONE last August"

Angelfowl smiles

Kblackdragon laughs.

Angelfowl nods, and remembers that. She lost lots of good friends too.

Zardoz raises his glass to the ones who didn't return.

Racingnut raises his glass as well

Kalandra raises her glass in memory also "May they find their sanity and come back soon"

Kblackdragon remembers the ones that were lost, then notices Arlene isn't around and sighs...they're sacrifice was a noble one.

Andrew raises his glass for someone to fill it ;)

Angelfowl giggles, and nods.

Zardoz laughs

Kalandra laughs

Kalandra has bought you an Ice Cold Pint of Strongbow's Hard Cider

Racingnut laughs

Bacchus slurs a 'Thank you... ::Hic:: darlin... ' and immediately chugs it down.

Angelfowl asks, "Anything you really like about Fed Classic or Fed2? And in the opposite light anything you just can't stand?"

Andrew smiles, "thanks Kal :)"

Kalandra drawls, "um.... I love the events possibilities and can't hardly wait until I can get my hands on the event creator...."

Kalandra drawls, "Hate is such a strong word..."

Angelfowl giggles and wonders if there isn't anyone who isn't waiting for the event creator

Kblackdragon says, "That's why she didn't say it. lol"

Angelfowl giggles, "I asked if there was anything you couldn't stand."

Kalandra drawls, "well I saw that and thought hate so sue me...."

Andrew winks, "yeah, beside me Kal ;)"

Angelfowl giggles

Andrew laughs

Kalandra drawls, "ooooh I know!..."

Kalandra winks, "I HATE STOCK PLANETS!! ;)"

Angelfowl laughs

Joe says, "hehe"

Andrew nods

Kalandra says, "and non-descript grey overalls"

Racingnut says, "here here"

Angelfowl nods, "I agree!"

Kalandra says, "If I explore one more new planet that has a sandy exchange.... grrr"

Andrew makes sure he's not wearing grey cover-alls

Joe asks, "what about descriptive grey coveralls?"

Examine Founder Kalandra
Kal is wearing a deep green, long sleeve dress that hangs off the shoulder. She has, as usual, ditched her shoes.

Kalandra poses for Isella

Congene says, "try blue, it's the new red"

Kalandra says, "I like making fashion statements"

Racingnut says, "ok wall-e"

Angelfowl giggles, "Now Kalandra did you make any big mistakes when making your planet?"

Kalandra blushes deep red "You know what? I did make a big one that made them redesign the planet checker..."

Angelfowl blinks, "What did you do?"

Kalandra says, "I had all of my "bar" locations flagged as exchanges as well... my exchange wound up in one of my supposedly 'hidden' rooms for the first day before Hazed could fix it."

Angelfowl laughs, "That had to be interesting! Talk about accidently hiding your exchange." giggles

Zardoz looks up, "Hidden rooms?"

Kalandra was VERY embarrased

Angelfowl nods, "I bet."

Kalandra says, "needless to say I changed the desc quickly"

Andrew winks, "Kal thinks they're hiddes ;)"

Zardoz chuckles

Andrew says, "hidden even"

Kalandra says, "Not hidden so much as not obvious when mapping with Fedterm"

Angelfowl smiles, "Now Kal, what is the most embarrassing or strange way you've died?"

Kalandra says, "I actually uncovered a bug when I died once. I had been hauling and didn't notice I was hungry and died but there was no hospital in the exchange so I died but had no where to go. It crashed the game and I had 1 stamina left, no insurance, but the insurance company hadn't recorded the death."

Kalandra says, "rather, no hosptial in the system"

Kalandra says, "not exchange"

Angelfowl blinks, "Wow, that's one bug!"

Kblackdragon says, "Wow. That's hilarious."

Zardoz chuckles.

Andrew asks, "you've been a Founder for a long time now Kal, and you have written an awesome planet, one of the best I have explored....when will you promote and when can we expect another from you?"

Angelfowl blinks

Angelfowl smirks teasingly, "You wanna host Andrew?" :P

Kalandra laughs

Zardoz chuckles

Andrew says, "sure if you need me to"

Kalandra shakes her head

Angelfowl says, "Okay... Well That'll start off our Audience question part of the night :P"

Racingnut props his size 14 feet up on the table and leans back in his chair

Kblackdragon says, " Rockies are winning in the bottom of the 8th, so you've got my attention for a couple more innings."

Kalandra says, "LOL"

Angelfowl winks, "You have a question, you raise your hand ;)"

Angelfowl says, "Now, go ahead Andrew"

Andrew winks, "I thought I already did ;)"

Kblackdragon raises his hand...then grabs his arm and sees if he can make his hand go any higher.

Angelfowl just shakes her head, and looks at Kalandra waiting

Angelfowl smiles, "Uh, first Andrew then you KB :)"

Kblackdragon growls and tries to raise his hand higher.

Kalandra says, "thanks for the complement Andrew,  I have been a founder for nearly 2 years now and have finally come up with an idea for a new planet which I am currently working on. my current plans are to wait until two of my factory owners promote by which time the new planet should be ready and unless I get a smokin roll, you all will see a double promotion and new planet from yours truly."

Andrew still waiting for Kal to answer my question

Kalandra says, "Ok, ok, so I am long winded... anyone that has spent any time here knows that already"

Angelfowl giggles, "Okay KB?"

Racingnut says, "long winded and slow typer..bad combo ;p"

Congene says, "ha"

Angelfowl says, "Kb you can stop bouncing up and down now :P"

Kalandra sticks her tongue out at RN... "I was going pretty fast I thought"

Andrew laughs

Kblackdragon says, "I'm not bouncing...dragons don't bounce."

Kalandra winks, "coulda fooled me ;)"

Angelfowl winks, "sorry looked like it to me, you trying to get your hand higher and higher ;)"

Racingnut looks at the deep impression in the floor under kb

Racingnut says, "nope guess they dont"

Angelfowl giggles

Kblackdragon says, "What was your favorite rank so far an why? That's called STRETCHING...dragons stretch...not bounce"

Kalandra laughs

Angelfowl laughs

Joe drawls, "Yea, bouncing would be kinda.. well... you know..."

Kblackdragon looks at RN, wondering if that's a fat joke...then thinking better of it, decides his 14 feet are probably not that delicious...

Kalandra says, "My favorite rank... I actually love being a planet owner, getting to design the world and really bring people into my vision of what it is."

Racingnut says, "ya never know kb  anything is good with ketchup"

Angelfowl nods

Angelfowl asks, "Anyone have a question for Kal?"

Kblackdragon exclaims, "Sorry...not Lotrimin AF. Yuck!"

Racingnut says, "well it is the killer cure"

Andrew Andrew has another question for Kal but, it will have to be via tb ;)

Andrew smirks

Angelfowl blinks, "Hm... personal?"

Congene says, "hey now"

Kblackdragon wishes there were spybeams.

Angelfowl asks, "Anyone? does anyone have a question for Kal?"

Kblackdragon asks, "Who's your favorite dragon in the game?"

Kalandra laughs

Andrew raises his hand

Kblackdragon says, "Other than Andrew"

Angelfowl giggles

Andrew exclaims, "Doh!"

Kblackdragon taps his foot.

Joe raises his hand

Kalandra winks, "dragons.... dragons.... hmm can't think of one right off hand ;)"

Andrew says, "I just wanted to know if she had a sister"

Angelfowl asks, "Andrew?"

Kblackdragon thinks about eating Joe

Andrew asks, "Angel?"

Kalandra smacks Andrew playfully 'I do but she is a first class man hater, sorry Andrew"

Angelfowl says, "Thought you raised your hand"

Andrew smiles, "I did but I ask to :)"

Kalandra says, "Joe has his hand up Angel"

Angelfowl shakes her head, "Joe?"

Angelfowl smiles

Joe smiles knowing Kal saw this one coming, "So roughly how many alts do you have, and who's your favorite one... and why?"

Racingnut wonders if hes going to find the time to bring back classic grandstand..prolly not

Zardoz chuckles

Kalandra throws back her head and laughs

Andrew laughs

Angelfowl giggles

Angelfowl says, "I must say, great question :P"

Andrew smiles, "so many alts....so little time :)"

Zardoz asks, "There are alts?"

Angelfowl thinks Andrew is Kal's alt :P

Joe looks at whos in the room...4 people who definitely don't have any alts ;)

Andrew says, "shhhh Angel! "P"

Angelfowl giggles

Racingnut asks, "who are they joe?"

Kalandra says, "I honestly lost count of my alts... I think I am right around 16 or 17 now, would have to write them down to count. As far as favorites.... I really like Bacchus, he is such a fun guy to have at parties."

Zardoz says, "Me, Me, Me, and Me."

Andrew says, "I* don't have an alt"

Angelfowl giggles

Kalandra coughs "bull****" at Andrew

Andrew asks, "Do you see any on Kal?"

Kalandra says, "not at the moment"

Joe thinks we could get all of fed in here between the four of us ;)

Angelfowl asks, "Does anyone else have a question?"

Joe says, "err them"

Andrew winks, "Thank you, I rest my case ;)"

Kalandra winks, "there are only 4 players in fed you know ;)"

Racingnut says, "dang it you caught me skippy"

Andrew raises his hand....again

Kblackdragon says, "I'm an alt."

Angelfowl asks, "Andrew?"

Zardoz chuckles at Kb.

Kblackdragon says, "Don't laugh at your alt, Zardoz."

Andrew asks, "If you could bring back any one single thing from classic Fed....what would it be?"

Zardoz laghs

Joe asks, "I thought you were mine Kb?"

Kblackdragon says, "I can never keep track."

Kalandra says, "I actually liked the way you had to depend on other players in Fed Classic, like posting jobs to the board and such. It made you interact and play nice with other fedders."

Andrew waits patiently for an answer

Joe says, "maybe we could setup a weekly rotation Kb"

Angelfowl nods

Zardoz raises his hand.

Angelfowl asks, "Zard?"

Kblackdragon says, "That and not getting killed by everyone."

Zardoz asks, "Kal, Where do you get the pictures that you use for Fed Term... and as a follow up, is it a pay site?"

Andrew laughs and say nothing

Joe falls out of his chair laughing

Kblackdragon exclaims, "OMG!!! lol!!!"

Racingnut spits out his beer

Zardoz has Kayla's picture as his wallpaper.

Jewells wakes up and laughs.

Kalandra drawls, "I never had a problem getting killed Kb. ... LOL Zard..."

Kalandra is laughing

Jewells helps Joe up.

Joe can't breathe, laughing too hard

Kalandra says, "I just pull random pics depending on what I envision my character to be. Some are more adventurous than others."

Joe smiles, "thanks Jewells :)"

Kalandra says, "Kayla was a VERY adventurous phase"

Zardoz makes a note of that... "adventerous..."

Angelfowl giggles

Angelfowl asks, "Any other questions?"

Kalandra winks, "thats all you guys got? so much for making me sweat ;)"

Angelfowl asks, "Anyone?"

Andrew asks, "you sure you want more questions Kal?"

Andrew raises a brow

Kalandra says, "if you can ask them, I can answer, you might not like the answer though"

Angelfowl says, "oh come on people, I don't wanna close this up early :P"

Kblackdragon asks, "How many drinks have you had tonight, Kal?"

Kalandra winks, "did you have any other questions Angel, before you were interrupted by Andrew? ;)"

Angelfowl says, "not really,"

Angelfowl smiles sheepishly

Kalandra drawls, "Kb, I have had a couple (few) beers...."

Andrew says, "Don' t let her fool you Angel, she bribed me to ask questions"

Angelfowl asks, "wait! Where did you get the idea for your planet?"

Zardoz gets up.

Kalandra says, "I have always loved the roman pantheon of gods and was fortunate enough to take a trip to Rome the spring before I came back from europe and returned to fed... I kept wishing I could go back, so I made it so I could"

Kblackdragon asks, "What rank did you hit in OLD Fed, Kal?"

Kalandra says, "I only made it to Thane ... wasn't able to dedicate as much time to fed as I liked due to having to hold down 2 pesky jobs just to make rent in Los Angeles."

Angelfowl nods

Kblackdragon asks, "How many words per minute can you type? And, when typing messages in an IM program, do you sometimes type Com or Say?"

Congene says, "lol"

Angelfowl has done that too many times ><

Jewells says, "lol I do that all the time"

Congene says, "almost as bad as texting people on phones like that"

Kalandra says, "who doesn't type ' or com on IMs? And last time I was timed, I type about 65 wpm before deductions (major ones) for typos."

Kalandra says, "sometimes faster, sometimes slower, depends on the day"

Kblackdragon says, "Awesome. My wife hates it when I type "Say Good morning honey!" lol"

Kalandra says, "LOL"

Congene says, "haha"

Angelfowl giggles

Andrew laughs

Jewells says, "at least you don't SAY "say good morning honey""

Angelfowl asks, "anymore questions?"

Congene says, "once you start speaking it, you need a vacation"

Kblackdragon says, "That should do it on my end. Very enlightening. That and I need to freshen up my drink."

Kalandra asks, "vacation...whats that?"

Andrew exclaims, "I thought playing Fed WAS a vacation!"

Angelfowl smiles, "So Kal? What should we expect to see from your future planets?"

Congene says, "yeah I could use a new drink myself, and the location of the lil' Merchants room."

Kalandra drawls, "well, I am working on a similar theme for planets two and three..."

Angelfowl nods

Kalandra says, "with an emphasis on Egypt for planet two"

Angelfowl smiles, "Ooo Egypt is cool :)"

Kblackdragon exclaims, "Oh, that'll be neat!"

Kalandra says, "their dieties are a bit confusing though"

Angelfowl nods

Kalandra says, "I made up spreadsheets to try and sort it out (on reccomendation of Zard)"

Angelfowl asks, "okay... anymore questions?"

Kalandra drawls, "gave up on those and went to a flow chart..."

Angelfowl giggles

Kalandra says, "the family tree does NOT Fork folks"

Congene says, "at least you didn't pick Hindu gods....good luck with that one"

Kalandra says, "am actually considering Hindu as #3... haven't done the research yet though"

Kalandra says, "I wind up doing a LOT of reading while designing"

Kblackdragon smiles, "You could always do a certain demi goddess themed planet. It'll be kinda small, but it's sure to earn brownie points. :)"

Angelfowl nods

Angelfowl giggles

Kalandra winks, "dont' need brownie points, I buy slithies ;)"

Congene says, "slithies get you out of a lot, like spitoon details ><"

Joe winks, "maybe you could focus on Christian for the 3rd, might be a bit easier ;)"

Kblackdragon asks, "Okay...well, you can give them back. She likes brownies, doesn't she?"

Kalandra says, "no fun, only one god and he has a temper"

Angelfowl says, "okay Anymore questions before I call it closed :P"

Kblackdragon exclaims, "Ooo! You could make a KB themed planet!"

Racingnut says, "1 God 3 parts"

Congene says, "try Norse, entertainment and easier to follow"

Kblackdragon says, "You'd have to spend extra slithies for locations, but it's worth it, if you ask me"

Angelfowl is gonna be quiet about the Gods stuff :P

Racingnut asks, "why would we do that kb?"

Kalandra says, "LOL I already spend them for the locs... I am long winded"

Kblackdragon poses, sucking in his gut and looking...well, kinda good for a second or two.

Kblackdragon says, "That's why."

Kalandra does a spit take

Kalandra tries not to fall out of her chair laughing as Kb poses

Angelfowl giggles

Andrew decides he better not pose after that remark

Angelfowl exclaims, "okay, that's it for this  Meet and Greet! Everyone give a round of applaus for our vic--err guest Kalandra!"

Racingnut says, "brilliant kb u look like that dragon on shrek"

Congene says, "whoohoo"

Kblackdragon hoots and hollers!

Racingnut applauds

Andrew stands and applauds Kal

Congene is smiling broadly.

Kalandra smiles "Thanks for comin by everyone"
