Nex del Vida -> =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/27/2012 23:39:55)

Good day, all!

I return from a year-long hiatus, to help moderate the GD. As is the custom, I'm offering myself up here for your interrogation. Let's say ten questions and two posts per person, shall we?

This will be my edit color.

Ask away!




Orian -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/27/2012 23:42:08)

Congratz or your Re-Akship thingy mabob
Thanks!

Ironicaly when I saw part of the thread title I had a feeling it was you lol
Probably the "Gentleman."
No questions from me :p
Fair enough.




Mystical Warrior -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/27/2012 23:44:52)

Wow this is a surprise. Nevertheless congrats on AKship
Thank you!

So with this new responsibility, will your war participation potentially decrease?
Lord, no. I'll be the warmongeringest AK you've ever seen.

You looking forward to the next war?
What do you think? :D

If there was a temp armor in the war that triggers in it will you use it all the way?
Ooh, interesting. I don't usually like Temp armors, but if it stuck with my no-drop element, I could probably make use of it.

Favorite weapon?
Any and all elemental DBs.

Rare that you missed that you wanted so much be it char page purposes or something else?
Little Me, just because I actually joined in time to get it, but wasn't savvy enough to grab it before it went rare.

Favorite NPC in AQ?
Probably Falerin. Or Dewlok.

Do you like doughnuts?
Eh. I'm a bit of a health nut... so not really.

ok now I'm running out of questions :p
I could tell. *patpats*

By for now and congrats again!
See you, and thanks!




Zeruphantom -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 0:07:53)

Thanks! I will.

stratuscone -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 1:08:08)

congrats Nex
Thanks, stratus!




Cataclysm -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 1:29:43)

Ah, and so Nex returns to being an AK. I hope your old shackles still fit well? Or did you get a new set altogether?
New set... the old ones grew into my wrists after a while.

So, you profess to be the warmongeringest AK we've ever seen? *eyes Elryn*
*eyes him too* A fair point you have there. I can give Elryn a run for his money every once in a while, though. Now that we're (finally) both AKs at the same time, our competition miiiight have to become a bit more heated.

I'll ask the customary question that must be asked in every MtAK/MtM thread ever, at least as far as my recollection goes. I haven't been following them lately, so this may not be as common these days. Ready?
*gulp* I sure hope so.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Swallows usually forage at around 30–40 km/h, although they are capable of reaching speeds of between 50–65 km/h when traveling.

Uh, I mean, African or European?


That ought to be it for now... Mayhap I'll return again. Congradulations. I'll see you on the battlefield.
Excellent, thank you, and I'll see you there.




Clyde -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 1:38:21)

Well well well
What have we here?

Looks who's back.
Look who's front. >.<

I almost feel sorry am happy for you. Scakk is an evil EVIL spirit with a strange obsession for fire and burning things. Seriously, he's incinerated every therapist we've gotten him. RUN. a great and amazing leader. You should be honored.
Thank you for the warning lovely welcome! I'm sure having Scakk as my head mod will be nothing short of pure torture a delight.HELP HELP HELP HELP I have a good feeling about this AKship! *twitch*

1. They all come running back don't they? (Until we break their legs that is >:D)
The lure of the shackles is just too strong.

2. Business or pleasure?
Bleasure!

3. Favorite stand-up comedian?
Louis CK.

4. Favorite aspect(s) of AQ? What keeps you coming back, besides the shackles of course...
Storyline, balance, and staff.

5. What is your favorite AE game other than AQ?
Don't play any others, although hopefully 3D will be fun.

6. ^Are you cheating on us Nex?
Come on now baby, you know you're the only game for me.

7. Any favorite Marvel or DC characters?
I sometimes get lost in the X-Men wiki for hours on end... I really like Proteus, even though I've never actually read his comics.

8. List your top five favorite AQ weapons:
I think I'm going to go with Light, Darkness, Ice, Wind and Energy DBs... they're just so useful for farming.

9. If every man has a price, what is yours?
Double whatever they paid the last guy.

10. Name one thing(NPC/story/location/etc.) in AQ, you would love to know more about.
Sage Uldor! Doooo iiiiittt

Congrats and welcome back.
Thanks.




drmonkey22 -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 1:47:47)

You have my condolences....err I mean congratulations
;-;...err I mean :D

Where's Waldo?
Where ISN'T Waldo?

If you had a choice between Falerin's suit or Cartwright's which would you pick?
Now THIS is a question in which I can invest myself. I think I have to say Falerin's. Cartwright's is gorgeous, and I certainly wouldn't mind wearing it, but it's a bit too gaudy for my taste. Falerin's has class.




BlackAces -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 2:51:12)

Welcome back Nex.
D'aww you put my tags in. How sweet. Thanks on both counts!

How's it feel to be back?
It feels excellent. I missed you guys.

Not much else from me that was my only question. XD
'Sokay.

Congrats and welcome back.
Thanks and thanks.




zippy2010 -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 3:41:55)

Congrats Nex
Thanks zippy.

Well that was a surprise coz just few hrs back I saw you as a fellow forumite
Bah--I'm still a fellow forumite. Just also an AK now. :P

Ok thats it. I'm just like BA, can't think of any head banging questions[8|]
That's alright--we're tortured enough in these cells.

Congrats again and hope you do well as an AK
Thanks.




Ubear -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 6:19:20)

Heyyyyy nex congratulations mannn!! :)
Thanks brooooseph!




Dwelling Dragonlord -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 7:18:41)

*A cloaked figure rises from the shadows.*
Mysterious!

Greetings Nex del Vida.
Salutations, Dwelling Dragonlord.

Who is it thou worships in the realm of Lore?
I think that'd be Lorithia. I don't think there's actually a Church of Unity, but if there was, my main would join it.

Name thy favourite Lorian race.
I've always been a fan of humans. Far underappreciated, we are.

Does thou agree that the City of Deren, especially the palace, lacks a proper guard?
Hmm. I suppose you're right. Perhaps the fact that most of the citizens of the city are both enlightened and quite proficient in combat is an effective crime deterrent.

Has thou ever felt tragic by the loss of a nameless ally who died in words alone?
I'm... not entirely sure what that means. So no, I guess.

Does thou know of my legacy?
I don't think so.

Should thou know of my legacy, who in thy opinion is the most fashionable character?
I'm definitely missing something here.

Farewell.
Au revoir.

*Bows while succumbing into the shadows.*




Tha Killa -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 7:42:45)

Congratulations!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!

I was looking in some Q&A threads then I see Archknight, I was like where's the MtAK?
You found it!

Some very life changing questions are next, hope your ready:)
*stretches* *listens to pump-up playlist* *does breathing exercises* I think I'm good.

Do you find the Gween adorable?
Sure! It's a cute little guy.

Would you get the Gween? (After swept)
If it was the best pet for me? Absolutely.

^IF you answered no there, why[:o]

That's all for me...for now:)
Alrighty!

Great job on re-AKing, you deserve it!
:) Thanks.

Killa




Rafiq von den Vielen -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 12:24:27)

Congratulations, Nex
Well thank you. (You were close with the tags, but a little off--my edit color is
[color=696969][font="Times New Roman"][/font][/color]
. Thanks for trying, though!

Oops.. Fixing next time [&:]

I can't think of more than one question, so... I hope I won't get shackled for that
Doubtful.

Could you please define "The Art Of War" in exactly ten words :P
Sun Tsu, Chinese master of strategy, gives excellent fighting tips.

Again, consolidations on a well-deserved one.
And again, thank you.

\K




Elryn -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 12:56:16)

*Elryn grins*

I suppose you know what that means.
Heh. Indeed I do. Let the games begin.

*Elryn grins again*
*smiles grimly in anticipation*


Again, welcome back. It is good to have you *bearhugs*.

And it is wonderful to be back. *returns the hug*

On to the questions then. You know the theme.
Wonderful.

1)Are you a warmonger?
I consider myself one, yes.

2)What is a warmonger?
A protector of Lore who fights their hardest to fend off danger to the things most dear to them. And to rack up crazy-awesome kill counts.

3)Records in Battleon/Falconreach wars?
My AQ record stands at an even 2000 in the Paxia Rush war. I intend to demolish that record sometime soon. I've never actually kept track of DF kills, I'm afraid, so I don't have an answer for you on that one.

4)Favourite war? Why?
Hmm... good question. Obviously any timed/losable war, since they're the most important ones. My favorite individual war would have to be Div/0, I think--the camaraderie there was astounding, and we pulled the victory off majestically.

5)What is Prosperine's weapon of choice?
Good question. From his character page it looks like maybe a warhammer. Prosperine? Any input?

6)Still annoyed at Cataclysm?
For falling asleep? Dear me. I do believe he's the most somnolent fellow with alongside whom I've ever had the pleasure of engaging in fisticuffs!

7)What are Nex's abilities that he uses on the battlefield?
Let's see. A monocle that lets him see his enemy's weakness; a cane that functions as a staff for long-range spellcasting and physical combat, the head of which is a removable wand for more specialized incantations. His suit, of course, is magically enchanted to resist all manner of tearing, staining, or wrinkling--which by proxy means that it protects him from most bodily harm.

8)Do you write war stories? Why?
Not as of now, no. I tend to shy away from fanfiction in general, though during every war Eukara's threads tug at my writerly instincts. Perhaps soon.

9)Both of us have been around the forums for some time. Along with that comes fond memories. So what fond memories do you have in regards to the forums? Do you recall the discussions that transpired over Kalanyr and the Potential of the ArchMagi threads?
Ahh wow... I have a WHOLE lot of memories here. My days in the OOC, in L&L, in RP, in S&T... many good times were had. Yes, I do remember the Potential of the ArchMagi threads, but that's recent history to me. I'm a good two and a half years older than you on these boards, you whippersnapper you.

That is all for now. See you around.
Verily.




Oliver Bell -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 13:01:16)

Congratulations on your Re- AKship, never thought I would ever say that.
No questions from me, just enjoy your renewed position.
Well thanks... I guess. :P




LuciDDreamer -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 13:31:24)

Final exams are finished?
Heh... as a second semester Senior, I only actually had two finals this year. And they were both two weeks ago. I'm hoooome free.

^ If yes, Gratz both on that and your status.
Thank you*2!




theosenia -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 13:32:03)

Congratzzzzzzzzzz Nex! Really happy to see YOU back! [:)]
:D Thanks!

Just 2 questions from me:

1) Do you speak any foreign language(s)? N if yes which one(S)
Yep! I'm pretty fluent in French.

2) I see you like top hats! But what about monocle(s)? :P
They are a very classy piece of ocular equipment, yes.

Good luck and welcome back!
I'll need it. Thanks!




Sir Perfect Socks -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 15:43:07)

Hello, Nex!
Hello, good Sir!

Congratulations on your AK-ship!
Well thanks.

I hope you won't mind if I buy the full 10 question package..
Buy?! Nobody told me I could sell these! I'd be a millionaire! *grumble*

1) What is the name and the size of your AK-Ship? :P
I call her Demimod the ArchCatamaran. She's just under 90 feet long--a real beaut.

2) What is your favorite item of every category AQ? You may skip the weapons since you have said you like them Dwagonblades :3
Let's see.
Weapons: Accounted for. (Though that Dainashini is one preeetty sword.)
Armors: Generalist's Robe is pretty cool. If there were any kind of suit armor--Falerin's, Ryuusei's, Eldron!E's, etc.--then it would be that.
Shields: Guardian Luminous Shield because it's so beautiful; all the Elemental shields for their utility.
Spells: Guardian Skyblade for its classic arcane butt-whooping aspect. Embrace the Shadows for its supreme usefulness.
Miscs: Dr. Boom Shard because BOOM.
Pets: Robodeer for knocking UW out of the sky; Bobble Devourer for [rar/hilar]ity.



3) What kind of music do you prefer?
Indie and alternative, with a splash of rock & roll. Delta Spirit, Wolfmother, Fun. (I'm not ashamed to admit it), Fountains of Wayne, etc.

4) If you could pick one country to spend a month long holiday, which country would it be?
I'm going to Iceland for a week in June... so I'm excited for that. But I think I'd choose France. I hope to live there for a year in college at some point.

5) Care to explain why?
Wonderful language, beautiful people, delicious food, great shopping, stunning sights.

6) Bass or guitar? Why?
Bass, I guess, 'cause that's the part I sing. :P But I'm not an instrumentalist myself.

7) Hmm.. You said you are kind of a health nut.. So, what's your favorite snack?
Can't go wrong with fruits and vegetables. I live in the country most of the time, and the apples we get are mind-blowingly crisp.

8) Do you play any musical instruments?
See above. I played piano for eight years at my parents' whims, but quit as soon as I could and can't play a note now.

9) What do you know about music rhythms / time signatures?
Not much. I sing, so enough to get by if prompted, but nothing special.


10) Finest piece of art in AQ?
Ooh, good question. Right now I think I have to go with the Dainashini. I'm really very sorry it's not a Magic weapon.

Well, that's it for now.
Excellent questions! You get a gold star.

Best of luck with your new duties! :)
I thank you.

Nex del Vida:
Editing posts Like a Sir since December 2009. Fixed your link. ;P ^_^




bassetbookworm -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 16:28:57)

Welcome back! I've seen you around, though you probably have no idea who I am- I remember wondering why you weren't an AK. Turns out you were!
Haha, of course I know who you are! You're the one who wrote all those fantastic mid-level weapon guides that got my secondary through to L90! Honestly, you're probably in my top 10 most helpful forumers. Thank you dearly.

Anyway, I only have one really, really serious question...
*dons judge wig and equips gavel*

What is your favorite type of dog?
Good question. Let me give you a detailed answer. (No, it's not Basset Hound, sorry--though they are really beautiful animals.)
My first dog was a chocolate Labrador Retriever named Pokey. He was my best friend as an infant--he practically taught me to walk by letting me hold on to his tail. He was a great, great dog, and I'll never forget him.
But I think if I ever get a dog of my own, it would have to be either a Greyhound or an Old English Sheepdog. The former because they're so elegant and soulful, and the latter because they don't shed (suits don't like dog hair :P) and they're big and jolly. Ask me again in ten years and I'll be able to give you a definitive answer. :D


Yes, very serious. Welcome back!
I hope my answer was serious enough for you. Thanks!




Sanctus Paladin -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 16:32:13)

Congrats on rejoining the ArchKnights Nex del Vida!
Thanks!

I will not bother you with questions.
Well thank you.

Congrats again,
Sanctus Paladin

And thanks again.




Macho Man -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 18:46:43)

Greetings Nex from Canada!
Greetins, Macho Man, from New York!

Wow congrats on being an Archknight Nex!
Thank you!

Cats or Dogs?
Mmm... tough call. I think cats, just because my house is filled to the brim with dogs.




Elryn -> RE: =MtAK= The Gentleman Returns (5/28/2012 22:12:58)

Yes, I do remember the Potential of the ArchMagi threads, but that's recent history to me. I'm a good two and a half years older than you on these boards, you whippersnapper you.


*chuckles* I mentioned the Potential of the ArchMagi thread because it was something that we were both actively involved with when I was registered.

You think me a whippersnapper? Oh, this will be fun...

*cracks knuckles*

1) What is a Skyboy Build?
A build wherein stats don't actually matter at all, and the goofiness/rarity/aesthetic appeal of equipment is its only factor.

2) When did Trading come to an end?
Whenever the staff got too busy to do it by hand... probably '03 or thereabouts.

3) What was ''Flog It!''?
From what I can tell, it was an offsite forum probably based on the British "Antiques Roadshow"-style TV series of the same name, wherein players evaluated each others' rares.

4) What was the Grand Council?
The precursor to the Knights of Order--a group of players led by a mod who talked to the game devs and acted as a bridge between players and developers.

5) What was the Gentleman's Club?
A group where classy gentlemen could discuss issues of great import. Much to my chagrin, my application (at age 13) was turned down.

6) Which Staff founded the KoO?
Elizabeth/Lenneth.

7) Name the ''cold'' trio of the KoO
Gothmog, Khold, and Rayf, I believe.

8) Name the three characters in Heroes of the Scape's avatar
Belladrith, Phoenix Bloodfist, and Roland.

9) What was UberRank?
A... fantasy football website...?

10) Which of the Dragonfable Staff use to be one of the top contenders for the highest level before the level cap was put into place?
No idea about this one.

Well, that was my last post for this MtAK. *grins* I hope you learned something new today. Congratulations again and see you on the battlefield.

Your point is well made. I knew the answers to a few of these by myself, but meticulous research got me the answers to the others. How long have you actually been around?
