MI Interview with Eridani

[Gilda]

Before we begin I'd like to say what a great honor it is to be interviewing the founder of the Mad Islander. Without Eridani I would never be. Thank you Eridani.

The rules are ask him anything you want. But don’t expect an answer from him if he doesn’t feel like it. I’ll begin:

1. What is your favorite color?
2. Where are you from?
3. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would you go?
4. Have you ever lived anywhere else besides the 10000 Islands?

1. My favorite color is red, for Liverpool and my Cardinals.

2. I'm from St. Louis, MO, USA- hence the Cardinals reference.

3. Machu Picchu... I'd Indiana Jones my way through the Peruvian jungles until I got to Machu Picchu and risk life and limb to recover some priceless Incan relic only to have it stolen by the Nazis, at which point I would follow them to Istanbul, where I uncover a secret cult of Nazis who worship Incan gods, foil their plot (whatever it may be), get the girl and narrowly escape.

4. Besides TITO missions and a brief stint as the Islands' emmissary to Canada I have not. I can't recall how I discovered NS in November 2006, but immediately after I made my first nation I got a TG from Enigmatic and I joined up and got involved pretty quickly... I did, however, take a five month (can't believe it was that long) leave of absence from July-November '07.

How did a Midwesterner like you end up an English football fan?

[The States of Eridani]

Some people just recognize beauty when they see it I guess. I'm not really sure to be honest, my uncle has always been a big football (soccer) fan and I was really first exposed to it through him... After I began liking the sport I wanted to see it at its best, which happened to be either the EPL (England), Serie A (Italy), Bundesliga (Germany) or La Liga (Spain) and that's where I found my Reds... LFC 4 LIFE. The MLS has grown on me a little since then and since St. Louis is considered by most to be the soccer hub of the US there are many opportunities to watch, discuss and many people from here go to the National Team in any of its various forms. I myself am in contention for a spot in the pool for the U-17 team as a goalkeeper.

What do you like most about 10KI, and what least?

What were you doing in the 5 months you were away?

If time, and money were no object, what would you most like to do as a career?

Favourite music and food?

Best anecdote?

If you had Grub's powers for a day, what would you do?

[The States of Eridani]

1.
Like most:
The people I get to interact with, especially the one's from overseas or people with interesting jobs like PAI.

Like Least:
This is true of any online forum but I find having to wait for people to log on and choose to respond or ignore your messages and posts horrible. Also, I'd like to see a little more seperation of powers.

2. Trying to find myself... I had alot to think over and reflect upon. I travelled while I wasn't at school, went backpacking for part of the time. Then school and soccer started and I just didn't have all that much time on my hands to be kickin it with you guys. Also I found someone that I'm pretty sure I want to share the rest of my life with, although I'm still young.

3. I'd be an explorer, if you will. I'd travel the world and uncover history's mysteries while.

4.
Music:
Some of everything really... Namely rock and roll (which is such a blanket term). Not a big fan of much produced in the past decade or so. I have a pretty ecletic taste I suppose. Some of my favortie artists include Oasis, the Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Who, I'm From Barcelona, Elton John, John Williams, Phish, Dispatch, The Clash, Lionel Richie, Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, Bob Marley, The Fratellis, Kanye, Jurassic Five, Nappy Roots, The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, Johnny Cash.

Food:
Nothing too complicated... American food, Irish food, English food, Italian most of the time... I like some French food, but frequently there's too much happening on the plate for me. Nothing can beat a steak and mashed potatoes.


5. Best, lemme think about it for a little, repost that question if I haven't answered it soonish.

6. I would start off by looking at everything Grub has access to, that I don't, like the cemetary and the gemini project... Also I would look through all of the archives he may or may not have stored up and I would parade TITO throughout the NS world like Teddy Roosevelt did with his "Great White Fleet," just kidding, but I would see all of TITO's secrets, which I think would be interesting. Also (and I'm really not trying to cause controversy, but I'd probably take a few names off the banned list).

[Enigmatic]

In your opinion what are the best and worse aspects of Star Wars?

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

How old are you then? (if you don't mind me asking)

What's up with Peter Crouch?

[Shizensky]

Are you my baby's daddy?

[The States of Eridani]

Sinn Féin's Ireland- 17

@shiz- I better be

[SovietPrussia]

Also I found someone that I'm pretty sure I want to share the rest of my life with, although I'm still young.

Even though I have no experience with this, the best thing I can say is:

See if she feels the same way about you.

[The States of Eridani]

She does. This I can be sure of. Although we did get into a fight last night...
