<Maddix> BigSteve: Blade, where DOES your handle come from?
<Blade> My handle comes from my original one of Blade Running (One of my favs).. I shortened it due to lazyness and too much initializing. :)

<Maddix> CraigOxbrow: As a bigtime figure in "counting down to SWG" what are you actually planning on being when it starts?

<Blade> Which means I will be a fat rodian female in the service of the empire

<Maddix> Jobu: Seen as though you have strong opinions on MMORPG's, do you have any plans on becoming a Games developer yourself?
<Blade> No--I enjoy criticizing developers too much. ;) Is it something I would consider? If I ever win the lottery--I'm there.

<Maddix> BountyTaker: Is there anything the dev's cut that you REALLY wishes was in the initial release?
<Blade> SPIES!
<Blade> :)
<Blade> aye--disguises and spies supported in the game by mechanics
<Blade> it's such an interesting part of Star Wars to explore

<Maddix> Bajeezus: If NWN beats SWG to the shelves(it will), can we use YOUR site to co-ordinate NWN play sessions for us? (Say ues)
<Blade> My site is hosted by GameSpy--I will check to see if THEY will help support is--but my site is singular in content: SWG only
<Blade> and I can't wait for NWN either
<Blade> I'm a hydraulics engineer--that's a fancy way of saying I play with water for a living.

<Blade> and I've been working on a site visit...

<Maddix> Bountytaker: Have you learned anything interesting about PA's whilst you have been running the Battestation
<Blade> I've learned that people's creativity knows no bounds--I've learned the people enjoy the sense of owenership and accimplishment that PA's give them to direct their energies--I've also learned how to delete them very fast :)

<Maddix> Killjoy-X: Outside of the SW universe, what would be your "dream" setting for a MMORPG?

<Blade> gonna have to go with Middle Earth
<Blade> who doesn't wanna be a hobbit?

<Blade> but I won't be "Blade" either

<Maddix> Quid: Will you get marries in SWG?
<Blade> Oh--I dunno--if the right girl (of guy) comes along, and the chars seem to have the chemistry, and it fits naturally with what that char is doing, I might be willing to attach the old ball and chain. ;)
