11 Questions with Rutabega (#183581)
Department 11
1. How did you first discover Kingdom of Loathing?
A friend of mine with a 60k playerid or so invited me to the game in July of 2004. I looked at the page, shrugged, and bookmarked it. I rarely start up the games that friends link me to. But for some reason, bored with the lack of role-playing games on the Internet, I came back to it about a month later and made an account. I was instantly hooked. About a month later, my friend quit the game and hasn't been back since.
2. What is your signature character class?
Pastamancer, yo! Love that colander. Although for ascensions, I've found I like Turtle Tamer the best, but I don't know why. I'm still scared of Moxie classes. I only do it when I have to for a skill.
3. What has been your greatest accomplishment so far?
Besides being a RKOL DJ (I love DJing to bits)? I'm pretty proud of being matched with Fujiko on the top spot for three-tiered wedding cake consumption. In two Feast of Boris days, I've consumed four :)
4. What, if anything, has blown up in your face?
The Philanthropy Project didn't work as well as planned. The first two months of it were great, but after that, it fizzled. It was great while it ran, though, and I gave away more than 150 million meat in recognition prizes to some of the game's biggest philanthropists.
5. What has been your most ambitious project to date?
My music collection. I've built my collection up from 2 CDs to over 3,000 files of folk, Irish punk, folk punk, and rock. I pride myself on having a lot of music that the other DJs don't have.
6. What aspect of KoL has persistently thwarted you at every turn?
Hardcore ascensions, bah! True, I'm only on my third one, but I'm at fifteen days right now. I want to tear my hair out in frustration, but at the same time, I love it.
7. What is the one thing you would change about KoL if you could?
Scamming. I hate scammers. I love the sense of community that KoL brings, and scammers disrupt the entire thing.
8. What is your favorite joke or reference in KoL?
You are attacked by one of the spookiest mummies you've ever seen. This isn't saying much, though, since you've never found mummies to be particularly spooky. I mean, "Ooooh, no! I'll have to walk slightly faster if I want to escape!"
Also, "Although your sack is large, it contains no items," makes me giggle every time.
9. What brings you back to KoL night after night?
The people. My clan. Radio chat. I'm such a heart player, but an explorer too. The chance to help someone out in the game and help a new generation fall in love like I did. Er, that sounds so movie-of-the-week. Bah! I've recently begun studying game mechanics, too. My clan, Noblesse Oblige, has really helped me out with that. Hopefully it'll help my hardcore runs.
10. How long do you think you will keep playing?
As long as they let me keep DJing. It's become half the game for me, and I love it dearly.
11. You get to have a Jick-made custom item. What is it?
A Tiny Clay Rutabega! After the clay character commissions I used to do.
