MEET AND GREET WITH SMITTY

Wednesday May 14, 2008

Ex smitty
Smitty is wearing jeans and a t-shirt. He has dark glasses on, which match the black bug in his ear. A combat katana is slung conveniently at his waist.

Angelfowl exclaims, "Hi Bourbon, Hi everyone else!"

Smitty exclaims, "yes, hi to everybody!"

Meteu says, "No biggy, wanted the first Meet & Greet in some time to be a supruise."

Smitty has bought you bourbon for bourbon

Bourbon says, "lol, thanks Smitty"

Lyn says, "Gotta know what the Man of The Hour looks like"

Munabilo asks, "black bug in your ear smitty?"

Smitty winks, "yeah, i need constant reports from my agents on numazu ;)"

Smitty says, "gotta keep the exchange running smoothly and the geishas in line- they like to party when i'm offworld"

Munabilo asks, "what do geishas do when they party?"

Munabilo drawls, "other than the normal..."

Bourbon says, "last time came to one of these, duct tape was needed"

Smitty exclaims, "sheesh, i wish i KNEW!"

Smitty drawls, "they only do it when i'm away..."

Occy says, "travel"

Smitty sulks

Angelfowl giggles, and holds up the ducketape she has been hiding

Angelfowl smiles innocently

Angelfowl winks, "Just to make sure the vic--- I mean guest doesn't get away ;)"

With a recording device ready, Logical has just arrived. Logical is carrying a keyring.

Angelfowl laughs

Angelfowl says, "Hi Logical"

Logical says, "Greetings Angelfowl (c:="

Lyn says, "Be sure not to tape his mouth"

Munabilo asks, "you doing a channel meteu?"

Angelfowl says, "Yeah that wouldn't be a good idea,"

Occy takes the duck tape and ties angelfowl's hands behind her

Smitty says, "wait till i start answering questions lyn... might need to"

Angelfowl grumbles at Occy, and looks around, "Help."

Meteu says, "Don't think so."

Logical looks for signs of duct tape on Smitty's hands

Angelfowl exclaims, "They are on mine!"

Bourbon asks, "how's that go....'this conversation may be recorded for training purposes'?"

Meteu says, "Angel would you see to it that our guest is seated comfortably please"

Angelfowl exclaims, "I would, if SOMEONE would get the ducketape off my wrists!"

Angelfowl glares at Occy

Occy smiles back at angelfoul

Meteu removes the duct tape from Angel's wrists.

Angelfowl says, "Thank you"

Occy says, "err angelfowl"

Smitty says, "she's gotta be able to hold the mic"

Angelfowl goes and makes sure Smitty is comfortable, by ducketaping his hands to the arms of the chair, "There, all nice and comfy."

Occy says, "got to talk to fancy for his camera for that"

Smitty asks, "can you scratch my itch tho?"

Meteu exclaims, "Good evening and welcome to a revamped Meet & Greet with special guest Smitty!"

Angelfowl sits back next to Meteu, grinning.

Meteu says, "Smitty to start why don't you tell us a little about yourself"

Smitty asks, "hi everyone else, hi viewers! errrm listeners?"

Meteu takes a seat on the left hand side of Smitty

Smitty winks, "well everyone can check out my sweet duds... i'm quite a style hound ;)"

Munabilo doesn't see a channel for listeners

Smitty exclaims, "as for about myself... well hi, i'm smitty!"

Scottric ex smitty

Meteu asks, "What is the most embarrassing thing you have done in Fed?"

Smitty smiles, "i'm the benevolent overlord of Numazu, Helix and Dr1954 :)"

Bourbon starts to quietly hum the theme song of 'Cops"

Smitty says, "oh, yeah, but i changed the name to just D1594... cause Dr looked wierd according to hazed"

Angelfowl giggles

Meteu laughs

Angelfowl says, "Nice"

Munabilo asks, "as in, Doctor planet?"

Smitty says, "hmm, well i've done tons of embarrassing things"

Smitty smiles, "i once had an alt that offered to give a bunch of people cheap ships... then i realized i wasn't typing as me :)"

Smitty says, "but i don't really believe in alts anymore- i'm the only me that's left"

Meteu asks, "Are you sure about that?"

Occy snickers

Logical looks under Smitty's chair for an alt

Lyn asks, "Only Smitty left?"

Smitty winks, "yep, my alt's not dead, but i froze him and he lives in my freezer now ;)"

Logical looks for his spybeam

Lyn thinks he'll be thawed out before long.

Smitty drawls, "once i was hauling a bunch of stuff around sol, and i felt a draft... turns out i actually had left my hospital gown and toe tag on..."

Angelfowl exclaims, "Yikes, that doesn't sound comfortable!"

Logical exclaims, "How indecent!"

Smitty exclaims, "needless to say i had a very strange tan from when i flew into the sun wearing that!"

Angelfowl laughs

Angelfowl exclaims, "Niice!"

Logical sips a drink

Meteu asks, "What was the most idiotic way you have died?"

Smitty says, "yeah, so if you hear anyone calling me 'stripes' you'll know what they mean"

Angelfowl giggles

Smitty says, "lol, oh there's tons of good ways to die"

Logical scribbles something on the notebook in his pocket

Smitty says, "i once got stuck in a bramble bush and scratched myself to death... that was unplesant"

Angelfowl blinks

Scottric laughs

Angelfowl starts laughing, "Niiiiiice!"

Smitty says, "don't wander around alone- that's my tip"

Meteu says, "That had to be nasty when you got to the hospital"

Smitty says, "yeah, luckilly they cloned me AGAIN! it's getting very dizzying moving from body to body"

Angelfowl exclaims, "I bet it does!"

Meteu says, "It always is, you never get used to that, trust me I feel his pain"

Lyn thinks everybody has a bit of cylone in them.

Angelfowl giggles

Angelfowl says, "I think so too Lyn"

Smitty tries to reach his glass... considering he can't move his hands he's doing pretty good

Lyn raises her glass to Angel and nods.

Gorsoomba nods

Angelfowl giggles

Meteu says, "Angel would you assist our guest in getting a drink please"

Angelfowl nods, and helps Smitty get a drink

Logical hands Angelfowl a bubbling glass for Smitty

Smitty says, "darn, diesel is always shooting me down"

Smitty exclaims, "she's no prize either!"

Bourbon says, "Angel, not the seltzer bottle"

Smitty glares at diesel

Angelfowl laughs

Lyn chokes a bit as she giggles.

Meteu places a bit of TDX in Smitty's lap

Meteu says, "Don't drop it Smitty"

Angelfowl exclaims, "Oh geez Met!"

Smitty says, "mmm, i love TDX, very tasty"

Lyn backs up a bit more

Angelfowl laughs

Logical looks for the WHOOSH

Smitty says, "speaking of- i do need to use the loo"

Smitty laughs

Lyn says, "Fireworks are suppose to be on the roof"

Meteu asks, "The last question from me, what is the stupidest thing you have ever done when designing your planets?"

Occy says, "if diesel your prize in woman you got alot to choose from"

Angelfowl laughs, "Tough luck," grins

Smitty exclaims, "oh, another fun fact about me is I love to laugh at my own jokes- especially when i'm the only one laughing!"

Angelfowl giggles

Munabilo chuckles

Scottric laughs

Smitty says, "hmm, well met, if you came by my planet in the early days, i definitely didn't have ANY exit messages for a good 3 months"

Angelfowl giggles

Smitty says, "you'd be in space, minding your own business, and you'd get that error message- PLEASE NOTIFY PLANET OWNER"

Angelfowl says, "It probably said something like: "There is no exit message, tell the planet owner.""

Angelfowl giggles

Smitty says, "lol, that's the one angel"

Meteu exclaims, "It took you that long to get them in place!"

Smitty says, "yeah, i got a LOT of notifications from concerned pilots"

Meteu says, "I bet you didn't make that mistake on your other planets"

Angelfowl says, "I like the idea of doing, "There is no exit message, but don't bother telling the planet owner, cause they are too busy to care!""

Smitty winks, "heh, once i had that first one down, i learned to be more careful ;)"

Smitty says, "that would be good angel"

Angelfowl nods

Smitty exclaims, "there is an exit message, but YOU don't get to read it!"

Angelfowl laughs

Meteu says, "I think Angel has a few questions for you Smitty"

Angelfowl exclaims, "I like!"

Smitty says, "i'd put that if i could"

Angelfowl smiles

Smitty laughs

Angelfowl grins, and looks at her list of questions

Smitty says, "sure, i'm happy to answer questions from my favorite angel"

Angelfowl giggles

Smitty exclaims, "and i'll take others too after- i can stand to hear myself talk!"

Angelfowl asks, "Okay then! Lets go with... What's your history with Fed, did you use to play Classic? If so, who were you?"

Smitty says, "yep, i played classic fed- the first time i played was on AOL at a friend's house"

Angelfowl nods

Smitty says, "that was ok, but i never got really into it cause i couldn't play from home"

Bourbon says, "good move, let friend pay to the time"

Smitty exclaims, "lol, yes!"

Angelfowl laughs

Smitty says, "after that, i became a PO in web fed- right around the time it became flat rate"

Angelfowl nods

Smitty says, "i was never really good tho- i mastered the early ranks, but i never got the hang of PO"

Smitty says, "luckilly i had some cool people to look after me- like snuggs and andy"

Angelfowl exclaims, "You seem to have the hang of it now!"

Smitty says, "i was in the redwall duchy"

Logical remembers redwall

Lyn thinks hard.

Angelfowl remembers the PO class Smitty JUST taught, "Seems you mastered Fed2 PO stuff just fine,"

Occy shrugs

Smitty says, "i stopped playing shortly after andy left and disolved the duchy- just didn't have enough time to play (was finishing up college at the time)"

Smitty says, "well thanks :) i made it my goal to master every rank this time around"

Angelfowl nods

Angelfowl says, "That's good"

Smitty smiles, "i think i'm doing ok :)"

Angelfowl asks, "How did you first find out about Fed?"

Smitty says, "well, i'm not really sure- it must have been on one of those promotions when fed was on AOL"

Angelfowl nods

Angelfowl winks, "Did your friend play? That you made pay for all your time on Fed ;)"

Smitty says, "you can read about those if you check out the 'ibgames history' section of the site"

Smitty says, "very cool with lots of interesting details"

Lyn nods

Angelfowl nods

Smitty winks, "yeah, my friend played too- we shared the same character tho, so it wasn't ALL my fault that we stunk at it ;)"

Angelfowl laughs

Angelfowl exclaims, "Nice!"

Bourbon laughs

Scottric laughs

Occy chuckles

Angelfowl winks, "Nice way to blame someone else ;)"

Logical wonders what the character they shared was named

Lyn says, "Good question"

Angelfowl looks at Logical, "I was getting to that!"

Angelfowl giggles

Angelfowl asks, "What was the characters name?"

Smitty winks, "it was something crazy- like Data1942 or something... you know how AOL was ;)"

Logical winks, "Sorry Angelfowl Dear ;)"

Angelfowl giggles

Smitty says, "sooo many players all wanting the same names"

Angelfowl smiles

Angelfowl says, "Okay, next question from me"

Smitty says, "ok"

Smitty smiles

Smitty asks, "miller or bud?"

Angelfowl asks, "What do you like the most about Fed2, and the least thing you like?"

Smitty laughs

Angelfowl laughs

Occy sniffs

Smitty says, "well, in the miller/bud debate- i'm voting third party- OLD STYLE thankyouverymuch"

Scottric laughs

Angelfowl laughs

Smitty says, "hmm, as for what i like most about fed... i'd say... ummm, probably divorce"

Angelfowl laughs

Lyn blinks.

Smitty says, "it says a lot about society that we can divorce and stay friends"

Smitty says, "LOL"

Smitty laughs

Angelfowl asks, "Why is that???"

Smitty exclaims, "i'm kidding of course!"

Scottric laughs

Angelfowl exclaims, "That's good!"

Angelfowl winks, "I was concerned there ;)"

Bourbon says, "and no pre-nubs"

Smitty says, "my favorite part of fed is definitely the equality this time around"

Smitty says, "everyone starts from nothing, and you have to work hard to make yourself into something"

Meteu asks, "pre-nubs is that like the "before you shave" look?"

Smitty says, "i think that is actually really cool"

Angelfowl nods

Angelfowl smiles, "Yeah, that is awesome :)"

Smitty winks, "everyone can succeed if they just work hard! that's the kind of world i want to live and/or play in ;)"

Scottric raises his glass

Angelfowl giggles

Angelfowl nods in agreement

Bourbon smiles, "agree with ya there:)"

Munabilo exclaims, "to working hard!"

Smitty sips his old style

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

Smitty exclaims, "working hard!"

Logical nods thanks to Munabilo

Angelfowl asks, "And what's your least favorite part of Fed2?"

Smitty says, "as for things i don't like, well there are some of course- but i don't think about them"

Smitty smiles, "i'm a glass half full kind of guy :)"

Angelfowl nods

Munabilo exclaims, "more commod shortcuts!"

Angelfowl laughs

Smitty winks, "if i HAD to pick one thing- it'd be that i can't squeeze a 15th bay into my ship ;)"

Angelfowl laughbs

Angelfowl laughs even

Angelfowl exclaims, "Nice!"

Scottric laughs

Smitty exclaims, "yep, i pretty much haul bays of 5/5/4... but 5/5/5 is so much nicer looking!"

Angelfowl says, "Okay, one more question from me before we open it to the audienc"

Angelfowl laughs

Smitty says, "ok shoot angel"

Angelfowl says, "audience even"
