Hello Gunslingers and Gunslingettes (which, by the way, is a word I just made up now), today we have a special treat for you all. An interview with the one, the only, the Stuicide! As part of a new feature here at TTL, we’re going to be picking a Gunslinger at random and delivering unto you the goods, as he answers various and sundry questions that let you look deeper into the psyche of your fellow gamer. Plus it’s fun. Stuicide delivered some interesting answers, which shed light on several of the biggest mysteries that have plagued us as to what exactly a Stuicide is. Interestingly enough, that particular question never received an answer.
Possibly because I didn’t bother to ask it!
Onward to the interview, copied verbatim from my electronic messaging device. It’s something that the bears invented, you normal beings wouldn’t understand.
Interview!
A Large Bear: Boo, Stu!
Stuicide: Yo
A Large Bear: What’s happenin’?
Stuicide: just ate dinner
A Large Bear: Awesome
A Large Bear: How you feelin’ about getting interviewed, like, right now?
Stuicide: I think I can pull through it
A Large Bear: Alright, so, y’know the deal right? I’m going to ask you a bunch of on the spot questions, you’re going to answer them, and then I’m going to post your
idiot answers for the world to see. And that’s called a ‘Gunslinger Profile’!
Stuicide: Yeah, I’m ready to go, I just stretched my Hammies and I think I’ll be alright
A Large Bear: Yeah, I hear those are vital for answering questions.
Stuicide: Depends on the question, or the dare if that’s the case
A Large Bear: I’m allowed to dare you to do things?
Stuicide: Only if alcohol is involved
A Large Bear: If you go to Ohio, you’re on.
A Large Bear: Now. On to the questions!
Stuicide: Onward!
A Large Bear: For those readers who have had their heads in a hole, why don’tcha tell the class exactly who you are and what you do, both in reality and for the ’slingers.
Stuicide: Well in reality, I am a recent graduate with a degree in Marketing. I’m currently interning right now but job searching so if anyone at Microsoft is reading this, I sent my resume in last week. For the ’slingers… where I spend most of my time, I am an Overlord and I’m in charge of our Personnel. I handle all recruits and promotions. Also, as of recently I’ve helped out with our Marketing and I did a little bit of work in our Store.
A Large Bear: I remember when you handled me during the recruitment process. It really brought us closer together. How’d you end up in such an esteemed position, anyway? I mean, an Overlord for the Gunslingers is no mean achievement.
Stuicide: Honestly, I have no real clue how it all happened. I guess I was spending a lot of time saying Hi to all of the new recruits and then one day I asked XerxdeeJ if I could rearrange some of the board to make it easier for people to use it. They promoted me and I just kept doing what I could do to help the Gunslingers. Along with the rest of the Community Staff, I have a never ending thought process to what we could do next. It keeps me employed here.
A Large Bear: I believe it, with your fifty+ days on the forum you best be doing some work. The Saloon is grand, but more than twenty days in there and you’re officially lost. How did you originally join the Gunslingers? Ordinary people would have put this question before the previous question, but I’m a bear. Not a person.
Stuicide: Of course, and being that you’re 900+ pounds, I won’t question your ethics. When the clan was originally founded there was a Call to Arms on the blog. I was interested, but I was an OL of my own clan of friends and other locals. It was starting to lose steam and eventually one day I realized that I needed something bigger. I went clan hopping trying to find some cool people. I joined the GS’s early on, but after two short days I didn’t see many people online and so I went through a few other clans including all 3 HBO clans and a few others. One night I got a message from DeeJ saying they were recruiting. I went and played and had a blast. Accepted on the spot.
A Large Bear: Man, I wish my recruitment had gone that smoothly. Being that you’re an Overlord, are there any top secret projects that you feel like telling us all about so that we can help you keep them secret?
Stuicide: Well with the Foundation and the Store announced, the bag of tricks is just about empty. Although today there was some really interesting discussion for something that’s going to be really fun.
A Large Bear: And that thing is?
Stuicide: To be announced in the new year if all is on schedule
