Ask The Mod: Dameshi

When will you return to your true calling of "tanking" for us in FFXIV?

You and me both. I was so young and foolish. Now I'm just old and foolish.

When will you log into 14 so i can poke you?

.-. why don't I know yo...

*reads second post*

oh :<!

When I tire of my current gaming list, I'm sure I'll return.

I unsubbed from my drug addiction WoW, so it's only a matter of time.

Why dont you watch MY Streams? :P

Aaaaaand followed.

I don't like working out with other people. Which is why I also only ever go to the gym at very weird hours.

*thinks* 9_-;; *smoke billows out of ears*

So when's the next Spath-and-Meshi (or was that "Meshi-and-Spath"?) podcast coming out? :p

That gonna be at your place or Spath's? Pants or no-pants?

Isn't Irelia due for a nerf?

With the exporting of Ni culture into other areas now, will there be site-wide observations of royal Ni-holidays? Like a "Chinese Tuesday" or something?

You're either thinking Chinese Wednesday or Jewby Tuesdays (temporary name).

I thought only card-carrying Citizens of Ni could partake in Chinese Wednesday. :p Chinese Tuesday would be like the cheap knock-off holiday where pleebs from RT could eat their Panda Express in separate-but-equal observance.

How does one apply for a Ni citizenship card? Am I not allowed to eat Chinese people on Wednesday without one? How large is the fine if I do?

You need to answer this question.

The Spath & Meshi podcast has been postponed indefinitely at this point. There are some rumblings of a new venture, but nothing really concrete. Pants will definitely not be worn. The distance between us dictates we must convene on the scary interwebs only. Besides, that much manliness in one room would be... devastating. Thank you for listening! :)

Well right now Vayne is really strong so in my opinion; better nerf Irelia.

An excellent question. I would love a site-wide observation of our most noble and holiest of traditions that is Chinese Wednesday. While some others may believe that Chinese Wednesday is limited to the citizens of Ni, I believe the spirit of Chinese Wednesday cannot be contained. I would be honored if everyone where to observe the tradition to as much of an extent as they are able, and to spread the cheer it brings to others around them. My end goal is for Chinese Wednesday to become not just an AH holiday, but a world holiday. Alas, it is but a dream.

There is no application for a Ni citizenship card. When you have been deemed a citizen, a card arrives in the mail. Of course, the Royal Air Mail Post And Ground Express (or R.A.M.P.A.G.E.) was disbanded years ago due to bankruptcy and we never did put in place a new mail delivery system so... card's in the mail!

I wanna steal the thread for a sec on this one as I feel it's unfair not to have input from both of us. (Sorry Meshi)

There were talks of bringing it back. A mix of conflicting scheduling and a need for more structure was our main reason for not bringing it back sooner, upon talking with Meshi more recently I came to find that there is another project in the works, one that I'd love to see pushed through so I'm cheering it on for right now. There has been light chat on who all is included but I will not confirm nor deny current involvement as it's not my project to do so.

That said, I'd like to see a podcast start back up sometime soon so if nothing else expect some kind of intel on my end about something being in the works by around March.

If you could be anything in the world, what would you be?

Oh jeez, that is a difficult question.

On one hand, I would choose to be the supreme overlord of the world and institute policies to allow people to live nice, peaceful lives while severely punishing anyone who attempts to disrupt that. I would ensure that humanity focuses on technological advances that help our species as well as the planet, as well as furthering the arts which help humanity stand out from our animal brethren.

On the other hand, penguins are pretty awesome. It would be cool to be a penguin. Or a hawk. Yeah, flying would be awesome.

Join me in being of the canine persuasion. You don't get to fly but, on the other hand, pretty girls line up to give you free head and belly rubs!

Edit: found an even better pic.

After the amount of times In "I am Setsuna" that penguins have messed me over. i have an extreme distrust of penguins. Im not sure we can be Mods in crime together.

Question:
What is your opinion on AP Tristana in LoL? And are you on EUW?

Live without fear, Lina.

Without fear.

While having the life of a dog, an animal who seems to find joy in everything, would be nice I would rather have the freedom of flight personally.

How can you distrust penguins? They're always wearing a tux!

AP Tristana is very sub-optimal due to her rework. It was good before due to its burst, but the damage is too delayed to be better than AD, and its sustained damage is also lower. Sadly, it's nothing more than a niche fun build. Much like AP MF. So while I wouldn't recommend it or play it myself, I wouldn't be upset if someone played AP Trist. I am not on EUW, I am on NA. I like my normal draft queue. Poor servers who no longer have it and have to resort to blind for non-ranked, I feel your pain. (Though is it EUW that lost it?)

No EUW Still has Competitive.
Yeah im an Oldie when it comes to LoL, i quit and im being forced back into it again. its always been hit or miss for me.
AP Tris was soo fun back in the day. :D

Suit yourself, we're always ready to have you when you're ready.

May I offer you another alternative though?

If you're set on flight and still want to be happy...may I suggest the life of a duck!?

James bond is a spy.
Spies can't be trusted.
James Bond often wears a tux.
Spiess wear tuxes.
Penguins always wear tuxes.
Penguins are spies, and therefore cannot be trusted!

vampire penguins is where the fear starts

If you enjoyed AP Trist, I suggest giving Ekko a try if you haven't. He's AP, mobile, and a lot of fun IMO. Kled is also fun, but that's more for his voiceovers.

Uh... an awful lot of duck sex is rape btw. They're not very nice creatures... Still, it's on my list. Flying AND aquatic? Look out non-electric pokemon!



But James Bond is a badass and you should always trust badasses.

We're living in fantasy land right now, man.

All the ducks I know are good people.

So, when do we unite RT and Ni into one glorious utopia?

Also, how much help would you say you'd need to get Chinese Wednesday launched at a full scale? I love Chinese food, and Wednesday is the perfect day for that sort of pick me up. Helps you make it to the weekend.

If you were a wrestler, what would your finishing maneuver be called?
