Okay, you're an admin now, which is totally awesome. How exactly do you feel about being one?

Also, what do you want to accomplish during your reign stay as administrator?

Did you expect to get promoted to admin in as such short time as you did?

I still don't know how to answer that, haha. It's pretty much "...woah". Not that I didn't experience that feeling when I was modded (and I'm sure you, as a mod, know that feeling haha) and subsequently smodded, but I just kinda find it a bit crazy that I'm an admin now haha. Perhaps I'm taking it too seriously and should just look at it a bit more as I'm probably way too dedicated to a Pokémon forum, but meh. It's just very surreal still, haha. In a good way ofc.

I don't know yet, and I don't think I ever will. Other than the very general "have fun and help others have fun" which is ultimately the mindset of all of the staff - and indeed, members - I don't have any specific plans. But I like that I'm now in a position to do within reason whatever I want to do to make PC a hopefully better place - the recent collab was an example of that, I suppose. I like to think it was enjoyable for everyone involved and I wanna make more fun things like that happen with the new buttons I've got, but hopefully on a more community-wide scale. Undoubtedly I'll get more ideas further down the line and see where they take us but yeah, for now you're not gonna get much of an exact answer from me. Haha.

Also hopefully help move admin things along a bit quicker. I feel like that's been happening.

I didn't expect to get it ever, so definitely not, haha. Given how rare admin promotions are in the first place it's not something I think I, or indeed anyone (although some people would disagree), could ever have outright expected - and especially not for someone as admittedly comparatively new as I am. There were further technicalities that I won't go into which I guess made it somewhat more likely thinking back now, but still, unexpected completely.

Why whatever do you mean. 8)

At the time when I didn't have it, it was weird, haha. For the same reasons as why getting here at all is weird, really. Plus 3 years doesn't really ~mean~ a great deal; it's just something nice.

A couple, but none that I'd really consider good friends.
...I don't really know why that is, thinking about it. It's not like there are any sorts of racist undertones or anything going on here but I just notice white people having white friends and black people having black friends but not a great about of mixing of the two. Huh.

Surprisingly tame from the outside, but that's because I was in a supermarket and I got a text like "go on pc" and it was kinda... already done haha. I just kinda stared and looked for a minute and wandered around probably nearly bumping into people because I was too busy with my phone. Then I finished up as quick as I could since I needed to go home, get showered, eat dinner and go out with some of my friends on top of exploring what I could. So I didn't actually have all that much time to react, haha. d:

Haha, thanks. I found it on dA - I'll stick the credit in my signature since that is... probably like, a thing that I should do if I'm using someone's work. Whoops.

Oh man this is such a hard question to answer. Like I know where I'm heading in life right now but ten years is a really long time, especially given how dynamic everything still is at this age. I don't really think this is a question that you can easily answer until you're settled down with a house, job, etc. With the way that things are heading now if they stay on track I'll end up in some sort of cell biology research field with a PhD but even that is a vague answer and only makes up a small part of how everything will be in the future. I cannot say with any certainty at all if I'll have a family, a house, or even where I'll live in that time. I guess I just kinda take stuff as it comes.

So... yeah, haha. Vague answer - I know the sort of work I may possibly be in but really that's the best I can do. Stuff changes a lot and it's a long time before I'll be able to answer this with any real confidence.

What would you say keeps you coming to PC each day? And I'm not referring about your Admin position, but just as in a general sense.

Do you think that marihuana should he legalized? I don't know what the status is where ou are concerning that matter, but approach this question on a global scale.

Do you consider yourself athletic? If so, have you participated in any sports whether as a child or now?

Awhile back - more like late 2014 - you made a public post concerning about the "post and go" method of discussion and that you were disappointed in the way people communicated with one another (or lack thereof.) How do you feel about the matter now, and do you feel like we've made steps forward, backwards, or no progress at all?

Hm. I won't lie, the admin position is (was?) part of it - but because an "I enjoyed it" thing as opposed to anything else. Indeed, part of the reason why I stepped down is because I felt like it was negatively impacting my time on PC. But that aside...

I guess I just like seeing people I know posting. That's all there is to it really, and with recent developments in certain forums (more on this later) I feel more inclined to read peoples' posts and see how they're doing. It's nice to think about other people on here as real people off the internet and get some insight into their lives and how they're doing with them. A lot of these people I don't really talk to much more these days but still, it's nice to see them around. It's almost as if PC's just become a social tool now rather than an actual discussion forum - and at the moment I feel like PC is more community-centric and interactive than it's been for a while now (again, more on this later) - although for some reason I think I'm in the minority in saying that.

Heh, nice spelling there. d: For reference it's still illegal where I am.

Anyway, no, I do not support its legalisation at all. A lot of people are surprised at that because I do a lot of things, weed included, but I am still very much against it. I don't see a compelling argument for its legalisation; I feel that the reasons for legalisation (for non-medical use anyway) are self-indulgent and I don't see the benefit of making another intoxicating substance available for anyone to use. Beyond "getting high is fun" (which, in fairness, is true) I don't think that there is much of a reason to legalise it and there are more responsible, less judgement-impairing ways of enjoying yourself. I know I sound like I'm trying to be totally straight-edge or something here and it's almost funny because that's really not me at all but yeah. While I by no means think that weed is a big deal, I don't want to see it legalised.

I used to definitely - I ran and played football, tennis, hockey and cricket pretty much daily (not all at once, haha). That was up until I was like... 17/18? And then I just sorta stopped for the past few years. Uni and other things got in the way and when you're not in a school facilitating these things any more it's actually much more of a pain to organise them. I still run sometimes and play football or tennis casually every now and then but I've not in a long time actually taken any sport seriously. I keep very half-heartedly saying that I'll get back into it, but I never do and doubt I will for a long while at least yet. It's kinda sad since I was undeniably much fitter back then and had a lot of fun with sports, but hey ho, life goes on.

This one? I feel things have got a lot better since then. It feels like people engage directly with each other more and are less afraid to deviate a little from topics to promote conversation. I feel like some people know each other better and that there are more groups of friends who enjoy posting together and less boring, individual posts which contribute nothing to anyone's overall enjoyment of PC. That's why I said above that I think things are better now than they have been for quite a long time, and why I am enjoying the community more than usual. I think we have some strong characters that, good or bad, mesh together to make PC feel like more of a rounded community and I hope that things continue this way.

...unfortunately I am aware that some people (not that I know who) consider this new environment "cliquey" which bothers me a lot. Although not too much; if people can't deal with friend groups posting around without throwing "clique" about then I feel like they've got some social issues to sort out. Cliques have not been a thing on PC for years now.

Haha, I dunno really. I think I was high and someone I was with said it and I thought it was a cool word and then I thought it fit me so I went for it. There's no real big meaning behind it; my previous username just kinda didn't work for me any more but I didn't know if I wanted to go back to Razor Leaf so I just went with it and I quite like it now.

No on both counts unfortunately. ): As I was saying earlier I have like no time to keep up with so much stuff now. Everything's starting to turn into a sort of passive interest haha. I still definitely enjoy photography and like taking pictures and whatnot but it's just finding the time, haha. As for cricket I was never a huge fan of watching it - football, rugby and tennis and pretty much anything in the olympics were the main things I watched.

I've been to Manchester this past Christmas!! :3

Your view on the Trafford center? The city in general? Your favourite restaurant or pub in the city and why?

What's something you've accomplished recently?

Did you go to the christmas markets? They were absolutely nothing near what they used to be this time round, which is a shame, but they were still really lively and a cool place to look around. ...but this for me to answer things, haha.

Never been to the Trafford Centre. Another shopping centre, the Arndale Centre, is pretty central and on the end of the city's most regular bus service which I can access very easily. It's got all the shops I can imagine regularly wanting and it's right next to the Northern Quarter where all the ~indie muk~ is so it does the job for me. Never had any real reason to go to the Trafford Centre, although I do mean to just to see what it's like before I leave.

The city in general is absolutely incredible. Someone from Manchester is probably reading this and shaking their head right now but from what I've seen it literally gives me everything I could ever imagine wanting from a city without absolutely busting your bank the second you get in. Shops of all sorts, great public transport, awesome music scene, cheap-ish food and drink, good education, friendly people and an incredible nightlife. I think Manchester gets a lot of flak from people who don't live in it but a lot of those who move there seem to really fall in love with it.

I can't really afford to eat out much so, although I know a good number of really nice little restaurants, I'm barely informed on the topic. But Manchester does definitely have a great lot of independent places / two-three member chains which can usually offer way, way above and beyond any franchise. It's the kinda place where if you look to see what's on offer you will easily enough find something really nice.

On the bar front, different story - I know how to drink in Manchester very well, haha. I have so many potential favourites; there's a cheap but brilliantly located and totally genuine pub bang in the city centre which is amazing, there's my current workplace bar which I obviously have an attachment to and then my first year bar which, unglamourous (and honestly, muke) as it is I have an even greater attachment to. It's so hard to pin down a favourite pub or bar but if I had to pick one... since you specified "pub" in your question (bringing bars into it would lead to a whole other board game, haha) there's a place in the Northern Quarter that I mentioned earlier called The Castle Hotel. It's steep but has a crazy variety of ales and it's in a really old, intimate space that just feels... nice, honestly, to drink in. It's a little place but they have live acts on there quite often as well. Good drink, good environment, good music, not.. so.. good price but hey ho. Can't have it all.

A lot of people don't do this for time/money reasons or because they're not able to secure a place but a couple of weeks back I got in with an Italian lab working on bone cancer, which is... insane. So next year I'll be doing research on this stuff in another country. I'm really excited about that and I think it's a pretty good achievement since these places are competitive and help to advance you a lot into your field. I'd say that's my best accomplishment of late.

Majora's Mask! It's one of the most inventive ways to make a game that I've ever seen, and I think it's cool that you're under constant time pressure as the end of the world literally gets closer and closer as opposed to a lot of games where the bad guy just kinda sits there and... waits for you to come slaughter them.

Firstly, what. Secondly, yes - although I don't really know why. Probably because they were drunk and I pissed them off or something like that. It was a loooong time ago though, and nothing's happened in recent times. I never really seem to rub people up the wrong way that badly.

okay, firstly, what object was it?

additionally, psyducking, if I hypothetically speaking knew you in real life, would you expect me to be the kind of person who would, hypothetically speaking, throw something at you in a hostile manner? if your answer is "no," think again, punk. anywho, I'm gonna ask you a legitimate question now. how tall are you in feet and inches

Probably about 5'7" these days. I've grown a few over the past year or two. Yes I am pretty short.
