My exposure to UO for the first time many years ago was in the basement of your house when you lived in Michigan. I recall three monitors and three computers in a row all with images of the realm depicted on them. How many years have you been playing UO?
I started playing in February 1999, when a friend gave me the game as a birthday gift. She does not play UO anymore but she was known as Lizabeth or Noleeens. I watched her play the game and it looked like fun.
 
Obviously playing that many years you have gone through changes in the game. For a long time you were a member of the Bloodrock Clan. Currently you are a member of Black Company. What is your favorite thing to do in the realm right now?
Hanging out with and enjoying spending time with the guild of great people in Black Company, doing spawns, killing people.
 
As a PKer I am sure you own arti's. Which ones do you own?
I should do Doom more, but I currently have Berserkers maul, task master, tunic of fire and shadow dancer leggings, I am a member of team maul and the requirement is to own three arty's. Team Maul!
 
In literature and in movies Orc's are depicted a certain way. Always they are shown to have an unpleasant odor, not to mention bad teeth. At the Spring Faire this year three Orc's showed up and I was down wind of them. It was not pretty! As an X-member of Bloodrock I would like to know, as I am sure our readers would too, can Orc's smell their own stench and that of other Orc's?
For orcs they do not think they smell bad at all, they don't bath, or have much of a hygiene program. They roll around in poo and enjoy their own stench. It's humans that smell horrid to them. Bloodrock Clam was a great guild. It was a fun experience being part of that guild.
 
Like several other players that have been subject to my Questionnaire you met your real life husband in game. He was living in Illinois and you in Michigan. Are you married to him in game? If so were and when was the ceramony?
I love to watch weddings and sometimes they get crazy and way out of control. We never had an ingame wedding.
 
Since BC is famous for their hunting skills, spawns and acquiring power scrolls how many of your characters have consumed stat scrolls and at what level?
All my characters have used a stat scroll. It was either a 20 or 25.
 
What is your favorite color?
Orange
 
If you could own one item in game that you do not already have what would it be?
Since I am a princess it would be a Keep.
 
If you could own one item in real life that you do not already own what would it be?
The power of recalling to places.
 
What was the last movie you saw?
Big Fish
 
What is your favorite meal?
I have a few favorites but to choose one it would be my version of chicken parmesan, rice pilaf, baby carrots and a tall glass of pepsi.
 
What is the name of the last player you killed?
Twiggy Rameriz
 
What is the name of the player that last killed you?
Daniel, he's a beast. He is currently looking for people to form a bagball team.
 
Have you ever killed your real life husband in game? If so did you enjoy it?
I don't remember ever killing him purposely. There may have been an accident or two. Did I enjoy it? Depends on the mood I suppose. :)
 
What is your motto?
Live life to have fun, don't always put things off, you never know what the future may bring.
