NEWS Whos Who on LA? ... Player Interviews

When I was reporting the last time around I used to do a series of interviews of characters around LA and the UO Community that I called "Twenty Questions." This time around when I asked myself who to start to interview I kept bogging down until finally I realized that what I'd really like to do is interview everyone - particularly since I never got around to everyone last time and wished I had! To make this easier and more immediate I would simply like to put out this list of questions and ask all of you to fill it out and send it back to me in messaging or email! I will post at least one reply a week, if I get them, that will include any followup questions I feel are needed or that include any other questions you feel need to be added (within reason of course ;) ).​
If you feel there is someone in our Sosaria that should be represented in this series of interviews, now or at any time in the future, please present this list to them as well and request that they get it back to you or me with answers so that they can be presented to our shard players and the Stratics readers as well. If you would like to hear about someone outside of LA or in the programming/administrative staff of UO or Stratics you can suggest this to me as well and I will try to accommodate the request. If, also, you know of someone that does not speak English natively, I would love the opportunity to try to translate this into and out of English, (or would it be out of and into English?? :confused: ), so everyone on LA's community can be represented and we are given the opportunity to see the depth and breadth of the community on our Shard because that is global and not limited by geographic location or method of daily verbal communication! (Any other community members who speak other languages are invited to participate in assisting me in this endeavor too!)​
There is no way for me to get to know everyone or run into all the LA players around the world. However, there is no LA player that isn't vitally important to all of us as a group and as a community as well. Help us all to get to know you and your friends and participate in our shard and forum community! I would love the help in giving us the pleasure of getting to know the Community, and you, better!​
Here are the questions I've come up with. There are 22 of them in total, but respondents do not need to answer any of them that they do not wish to! If you think I left something out, please feel free to add it in!​
Thanks LA Shard! I look forward to finding out "Who's Who on LA?"
