Now we present our June MotM Winner:
Excuse the lax attitude of my sucessor. The winner is ASHENReaper. Good show! Nomibot out! Quote: Originally Posted by MemberoftheMonth Nomibot You have won the Member of the Month Award, and must now--regardless of how you feel about it--answer us our questions galore. Q1: What/Who called you to join this forum? Tell us everything about yourself. While you're at it, also regale us with tales of early exploitsand all your derring-do. rocklee_112713 would be the one to thank for my joining this forum. Originally we were simple forum buds on the GameFAQs Naruto Path of the Ninja 2(DS) board, and he was the one who directed me (and a couple others) to this board. The Bandwagon type, eh? Originally, my being here was simply because of that Naruto game, though that changed once the War System came into being. The War System brings back memories. Setting it up was more fun than actually running it, but the experience had its merits, and it's primarily how I'm a Quasi now. Promoted because of games? I cast a dark eye upon VIZ Management... There probably aren't many people who really know me. Not surprising. I signed up to help out with the WS out of passing interest, and those experiences were what got me heavily involved in the behind the scenes work. One could even say I ninja'd my way to the top without anyone really noticing, though I still had to earn the trust that got me where I am. Honestly though, I'm not the social type. I don't do crowds of people, which is pretty much what forums are. In the past, I went out of my way to remain seemingly non-existent to everyone outside of the War Council, which eventually just became the [CENSORED] crew. Even now, most of what I do on here is moderation and questions answering, and any social time I spend is pretty much applied straight to the [CENSORED]. As for my RL...
Q2: Who is your favorite Naruto character and why? We assume (as is our wont) that you initially signed up for some Naruto-related reasoning. Hmmm... I guess if I had to choose one, I'd say Kakashi, namely because I like his personality and approach to situations. That said, I'm mostly indifferent to Naruto characters for reasons that I'll explain in a later question. Q3: What do you think made you win the contest? If I had to guess, it'd be that it's because whether the things I do are met positively, or even known, by most people, regardless of these I am still known to do things that benefit the forum. Although, due to my lack of presence in the forums I'd wager I probably wasn't the most popular choice, but with that said, I likely had less working against me than some of the other candidates. Q4: Do you have any suggestions on how to improve this forum? Rate -34 - 10.6 1/2 to the 53rd power on the likelihood you'll be listened to, let alone how likely it would be to be implemented. I think it'd be awesome if there could be a fully automated RPG game added to the server. The way I see it, text based RPG's such as Freeverse stuff and the BN are popular in some senses, although both are riddled with problems in both manageability and play style. Being completely forum based doesn't really help. I think it'd be a decent way to amp up activity among the users, though whether it's feasible by Viz's standards is a whole other slice of cake. MMMmmm... cake. P:< Not carrot cake, we hope? Q5: If you were an admin, what would be the first thing you'd change about the forum? Also, how do you like our Canned Questionnaire? If I were an actual Admin paid by Viz to manage their forum and had the ability to change things... I'd probably change nothing. I might look into a few mods to see if I could increase user customization of the forum, specifically its background colors seeing as it seems to be a common, albeit not as well known gripe that some have. But that aside, I think the forums built well for a forum that needs to have certain rules and standards enforced being that it's owned by an actual company. Another idea I have, although it's not an actual change to how the forum would operate in any way, would be to encourage some of the higher ups in Viz to pay a visit to their forum and get to know the userbase a little more personally. I can see both pros and cons with this, but I could see the pros outweighing the cons if Viz played its cards right. As for the questionnaire... it's stealing time out of my life that I could be spending on video games and anime. What do you think? I think we need to steal more of your time. Q6: What do you like the most about the forum as it is now? The influx of newbies? The exflux of oldies? Perhaps the ability to aggressively modify posts on a whim--should you be the abusive type? The [Chatbox] is what I like most about the forum. Even if it's existence technically remains parallel to the forum in many ways. :P As for the forum specifically, there is almost always at least 1 post per day that will make me lol in some way. Though that said, there is almost always at least 2 posts per day that make me roll my eyes and feel humanity is screwed in one way or another, which in a strange sense of irony still makes me lol. Q7: What do you think of the Naruto manga? See Q8. If you insist. Q8: What do you think of the Naruto anime? See Q7. Unimpressed. Q9: What is your opinion of the Naruto series in general? Now that you've finally moved on from the infinite loop that is question 7 and 8... I honestly haven't kept up with the manga or anime. I probably stopped reading/watching about a year ago now. My gripe being that Naruto just seemed to be getting stronger, and stronger, and stronger, and stronger... And that seemed to be what the entire Naruto plot boiled down too. Main Character A gets stronger, beats a strong antagonist, and saves the day in some way. Please proceed to the next arc which has the same theme portrayed in a slightly different way. Naturally, based off of the above statements, I think most character development in general for the Naruto series is done poorly. I suppose it's possible these gripes of mine may have been rendered moot in later chapters, but until I hear the manga finally ends, I probably won't put much time into reading the manga. And until I finish reading it, at the very least I will continue to have Naruto pegged in my book as one of the most unnecessarily drawn out and over-hyped series that I've ever seen. Q10: Are there any other manga or anime you like to read or watch? What do you like the most about them? Of course. Most of what I watch/read are action/fantasy genre. Some memorables being Shakugan no Shana, Gundam Seed, High School of the Dead, Full Metal Panic, Fullmetal Alchemist. Some other anime that deviate from the normal genre of anime that I watch would be Clannad, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, The World God only Knows, Lucky Star. I could go on, but I won't. We think you should. Q11: What are you planning to do now? Well considering it's like 3:00 in the morning and I have things to do tomorrow... Sleep. >_> Botkillers earn no rest this side of heaven! Awaken! Bonus: Will all this attention drive you into seclusion? What is this... "seclusion" ...you speak of? Does it have cake? P:< And Isolation. Hope it isn't Banana Creme Cake... Orange. Orange Cake? Oh, now we're talking!!! Sadly, not everybody could be a winner. It was amazing the Council of [Excised for Brevity's sake] even voted on four candidates, considering how few the member count is. For those curious, CCS came (unofficially) in second, and officially CCS, RS, and Shikamaru Nara tied for Second. Congratulations, and better luck next time! Discussions were protracted, yet civil (ergo full of hate and smiles). If you'd like a full transcript, post in Err's Form Suggestion thread--he may fabricate a form for you all to submit requests for a copy of the much wondered about Council Transcripts. Subject to information black-outs and flat-out refusal to make one such form. Also, it would mean bringing him aboard, and we don't much care for cats nor turtles nor tortoises nor terrapins--they taste so foul! Last edited by MotM Nomibot; 07-02-2011 at 07:36 AM.
