The Changeling Horde is our newest featured nation! Her recent arrival has shaken up the 10KI roleplay scene, with changes to the Ruler of the World thread that many have hailed. She was kind enough to sit down with a reporter from the Mad Islander to provide answers to our questions, both in and out of character - this is our out of character interview, and the other thread you may have seen is our in-character version. Be sure to read both for a full picture of both the character and the player behind it!
1. You obviously take role-playing very seriously - and role-playing has been an important and welcomed part of 10000 Islands life for many years. But previous roleplays have focused on space exploration, war and politics. What kinds of roleplay do you hope to get running on the forums?
A: well i tend to like to be in control from some angles like a narrator but i would say my plots solely account on the actions of the players, I well want to start a role play where I (Narrator/ queen ) write the events for the characters to go through on the fly conforming to their actions but also being vague in what is really going on making the players use their brains over gear or brawn. also I know it is stupid but i would rather like to get in touch to make the changeling race a option for players to generally choose in other rpgs too,
2. How hard is it, governing a horde of changelings? Do you have problems keeping order, given that your citizenry can change their appearance at a moment's notice?
A: Well to explain again the changelings share a hive mind so all have a sense of unity to speak everyone knows each others name and well all work for the benefit of the hive and their queen.
3. The Ruler of the World thread is very different from what it used to be, and many Islanders strongly approve - and credit you with the changes. What inspired you to bring these changes about?
A: honestly i wanted to see a simple fourm go from something as easy as i win to a actual story to be honest at this point i kind of forgotten their was a real ruler i guess i can encorporate this into latter posts though.
4. What do you like most about Islands life, and what keeps you coming back?
A: Well i haven't really explored much and would like for those who want me to expand to grab my hand per say and take me away to new place for me to influence.
5. And finally, if you could say one thing to the 10000 Islands or Nationstates as a whole, what would it be?
A: I will take questions through my account mail stop by ruler of the world for a fun experince and well prepare for more content by me in the future (ONLY IF IT IS REQUESTED)
And that wraps our out-of-character interview with our second Featured Nation! We thank the Changeling Horde yet again for answering our questions, and we invite you to stay tuned for our next interview. Even we don't know who it'll be yet - so watch this space for more interviews with more up-and-coming nations and players.
