A couple of questions, kind of opposite to one another though.

What made you join PC? What's your favourite kind of music currently?

 

[Jellicent♀]

Why did I never know your name is Nichole?

What is your favorite YouTube channel when ya wanna kill some time/boredom?

 

[Pepperton]

Do you have Netflix? If so, what's your favorite show you've watched on there?

What is your opinion on the notion that this forum is staff-centric? Why do you think this opinion exists, and do you agree with it? Why or why not?

If you could mix and match four different moderators to four different sections, who would you change and why? (If that didn't make sense, for example, moving Mod A from head of Advance Gen to modding Metal Gen)

What's your least favorite vegetable?

I joined because I was badly treated at my previous forum, and was also power-abused by the mods there. I had to find a new home after running from that chaos and that's when I discovered PC. The rest is history.

I'm assuming genres of music? I love a lot of alternative (loads of great stuff there that is so worth checking out, a lot of which is mentioned on my Tumblr page) and even a bit of EDM.

Marriland was the one I started with, because he's funny and informative. Second is TamashiiHiroka who does those really cool Top 10 lists and she shows her opinions well in them. Lately I've been getting into some other LP'ers like MunchingOrange and TheKingNappy, the latter of who did this hilarious rant about why he hates Pelipper during his Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Let's Play.

We don't have Netflix here yet, but Australia will be launching its services in March! Sadly I don't really care for online streaming services given how slow my computer already is.

I think it's something that's a bit too evident, if the latest MOTY results were anything to go by. It was always a certainty that staff would either win or place in something, plus of the four ballots I voted in since joining, the main title winner three of those four times was a staff member. While it is nice to recognize their work, I do think non-staffers who make just as big of a contribution have often been overlooked and I think they should get noticed more.

Here's four who I think could have modded a section other than what they currently mod. I picked these based on activity I've seen outside of their own sections, and I think they would all seem pretty accurate:
Altairis - Anime & Manga
curiousnathan - General Chat
Zekrom - Battling & Team Building
El Héroe Oscuro - Fan Clubs & Groups

Onions. I just hate the crying gas they give out and they don't really taste all that great either.

How often would you say you lose interest in something?

How often do you gain a new interest?

I don't really lose interest that often, the last time I really lost interest in something was in 2012, around three years ago now.

As for finding a new interest, that does happen a lot.

Since your predictions look as something famous here...

Which members are going to have a promotion this year?

And, An unrelated question.

Do you have any plans for your future in your real life?

I have literally no idea right now, given how slow the promotions have been lately but there may be someone who could catch my eye in coming months so be on the lookout! It's just more unpredictable than previously.

As for that second question, I think I already answered that because Dragon asked that same thing or at least something similar to it. So yeah, read a couple of posts back and you'll see.

Okay, just a quick question for you. Do you prefer warm or cold weather? A lot of users I talk to who live in the southern hemisphere prefer cold weather, but what about you?

I like cold weather definitely, especially with the nightmarish heat down here in Sydney this summer. I find it easier to wear comfortable stuff in winter, since I don't sweat as much compared to the warmer months.

I'm not sure if this has been asked yet but... how do you like living in Australia? I've always wanted to visit there. hehe.

It's actually really great down here, and while we have a hot climate we do have famous beaches and in fact, a lot of people here enjoy their sports and also cooling off by having a dip in the water, which is usually what you expect during an Australian summer.

Also, it's a country that cares so much about its multiculturalism so you'll notice just how different everyone over here is.

I noticed you say you can predict staff changes, so I was actually interested in seeing what your methodology is for that. :P Sometimes it's neat to see who people think will become mods next, so what are some of your predictions?

Yeah it's a weird power I have, given how accurate many of my choices ended up becoming. As for what I'm predicting next, I think we could get a new Anime & Manga mod (no names currently stand out but I'll keep peeking and see who comes up) and we could be getting a couple of new higher staff as well, given the admin group shrunk a lot this past week. Having just four admins ain't gonna cut it, so the gaps need to be filled. I could also see an existing mod getting a new partner as well, just to ease the stress which is typical for the existence of a mod partner.

As far as who I could see being the next one to don the red coat, there is one particular graphics expert (who is mainly just known as "Gav") who would definitely make a great admin.

What kind of movie will make you go back to the theaters, despite how busy you are, just to go see it?

Probably Big Hero 6. Aside from having really beautiful in terms of graphics and full of lovable characters, it's a huge tearjerker at times, particularly when Tadashi dies and also when Baymax says goodbye at the end. Given Baymax is a cutie, you'd imagine how I'd cry at that scene in a heartbeat.

Hello, Hikari!

Have you ever seen a sea otter in real life?
What are some video games you enjoy besides Pokemon?

 

[Klippy]

Thoughts on the next GC mod, if any?

 

[Belldandy]

Being from Australia, have you ever seen those gigantic crabs, spiders, etc. that are all over the Internet representative of Australia?

And do toilets spin the opposite way down there? :pink_tongue: Teehee

Whenever I see your username, I think of Shikamaru Nara, but hélas, missing a consonant :pink_tongue:

Otters are totally non-existent where I am, so the only ones I've ever seen were in photos. Still cute though...

My gaming childhood was mostly with Sony, and such games I really enjoyed back then included Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank. This was even before I finally found my true roots as a Pokefan.

Thoughts on the next GC mod, if any?

I can't see any striking names right now, but someone known as Alex is crossing my mind.

I've never really seen those weird creatures at all, but that's because I'm a city person and I think the more deadly stuff is in the rural areas.

Toilets? Guess you must have been watching that one episode of The Simpsons which involved Bart being forced to travel to Australia and make an apology lol

I never took Shikamaru Nara into account when I adopted this name... :|

I have been rewatching all 20-some seasons of The Simpsons lately, but I don't think I remember that episode :pink_tongue:

Good to know the dangerous stuff is rural and not urban. Those giant crab things look so scary!

And perhaps not, but I keep thinking of him when I see your name :pink_tongue:
