frequently answered questions.

it's intrinsically annoying, those questions that i get near every time i log on and actually speak on rs. i do hope i haven't attracted any stalkers, because that'll blow my cover as an intrinsically unoriginal person.

anyway. here's my list of frequently answered questions. some of the answers i've heard spoken/suggested and promptly stole(muwahahaha). those i won't be posting. but those are seriously the best.

disclaimer: yes, i am a hypocrite, and two-faced. but i honestly can't say what i think. i'd like to call it self control. in the meantime, YES. i am working on my inner niceness.

plus. THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL ANSWERS. these are just the answers i'd have given you, had you come up to me and asked. please don't go around saying "this mod said this on her blog and so there."

1. i need money.
(okay, so maybe i shouldn't label these questions but demands...)

me: don't we all.
then i'll say something about training smithing or wcing. and maybe give away a mith axe to those genuinely needing help. (strangely enough i've only had to give away, what, 5 axes?)

to the unpersuaded: i've never even had 600k before, y'know :) that isn't a lie, either. donate to me pl0x? where did that whole stereotype of mods being rich come from? total credit right now = 439k. bleh.

2. n00b.
is what usually follows... w00t! such a fun one. stolen responses here! :)

3. are you a member?
nope, never been. f2p ftw!

4. how do i become a mod?
when this follows after persistant flooding of public and private chat with things like "my friend told me you'd give me full sara and 100k", the unspoken response would be something along the lines of: seeing as you've been nothing but inhumanly obnoxious, unreasonable and immature so far why d'you think you have a chance higher than an ice cube in hell of becoming one?

i really need to get my people skills down...

what i do say: i could answer that, but the town crier'll have one up on me :) basically though, it's about *insert compacted points and personal anecdotes, if applicable*. for more info, perhaps you'd like to approach your friendly neighbourhood town crier...

5. do mods get free stuff?
what i'd like to say: do you get money for giving up your seat in a crowded bus? no, no and NO! for the last time already. mercenary (brat). GO AND READ THE KB.

what i do say: i wish :) or of course not!

6. so you're saying there isn't any point being a mod/being a mod is boring.
-.-' multiplied multiple times.

personal satisfaction in a job well done is one ;) and that's true, thankfully. it's more intangible, really. things don't need to be quantified all the time...

7. is 17k a fair price for full mith?
do i have price guide stamped in front of my name? i don't buy armour, i don't use melee weapons. for stuff like this, google it yourself. g-o-o-g-l-e.

i've no idea really. i don't deal in armour/weps... the price usually's entirely dependent on the seller though? of course, haggling's always an option :P

8. i need help with a quest.
*gives relevant help* but only if it's one of those amazingly obvious things. or things that actually warrant help like where do i find garlic? otherwise *gives hints* for things like pirate's treasure. *walks through an explanation* for things like dragon slayer.

i was, after all, under the impression that when you're spoonfed info about a quest, it does lose any bit of fun it had in the doing, to begin with.

for p2p quests: nice you're a member. i'm afraid i've never been one. sorry, i wouldn't know :)

9. what's the meaning of life?
another favourite one. except i don't get asked that too often, usually follows after i say something inane like don't worry about it. i like questions :D

that's a tough one. i could tell you, or i could make you figure it out yourself, which would take roughly 7.5 million years, or i could ignore you, because i might subscribe to the theory that if something as inexplicable as life and the meaning of the universe was explained, then it'll disappear and be replaced by something even more unexplainable... if that hasn't happened already, that is...

and that answer i got from wikipedia. by googling it the first time i was asked that :P

so here ends the first installment of frequently answered questions! do remember to tune in for more inanity and insanity as brought to you by yours truly.

"What is the meaning of life?" - I can't believe you've been asked it in the game...

Neither did I, until I was asked it...

I guess I did just beg for it, though. The first guy was asking question after question, and ever so earnest to please. "Don't worry, I like questions :)" was what got me that one...

I've since persisted with that. Always fun to find out what questions come out, and who doesn't mind operating normally, without feeling the need to systematically flame, or do the exact opposite.
