So, I've bugged a bunch of people in Skype to play this game and tell me what they think.
I may as well take the next step: ask the rest of spam!
I found this game just the other day and found it really clever, witting, and powerful.
So: I'd like to ask anyone who wants to to play as much as they want to of this game, and post their thoughts and feeligns about it.

Feel free to post spoilers in the thread, I guess. Maybe put them in a spoiler tag? Idk
Either way: below this line are spoilers!
Dumbledore dies.

Headline: Spammer reveals shocking secrets in surprising tell-all.
Hi, I'm Alex. I've been around on the guild longer than most members, so I've had more time to make friends than most people have. I was very active during certain periods of time on OldGuild and gained quite a bit of notoriety for my actions, for better or for worse.
I have, at times, been a troll, a goblin, a spammer, a writer, a singer, a dancer, a lover, a heartbreaker, a genius, and an idiot.
Or at least, that's how I see me. I might be someone different to someone else.
So: I'm Alex. Nice to meet you.
Maybe. I guess because you're asking you feel this way?
We've certainly been talking less. I'm truly sorry I'm making horribly slow progress in your story, by the way. It's very good but I have trouble getting into it. But I AM making progress!
What do you think we should do to fix the problem, if there is one? What should I do?
Regardless, I still think you're one of the coolest, funniest, strongest people I know.
I think Griever is still around intermittently but I'll mention him anyway. When I first met him he gave me some really good advice and I looked up to him for it, but then he made his debut in spam and either his character had changed completely, or I had misread everything he had previously said. Overall I'm disappointed that the Griever I know now isn't the Griever I originally met.
Who else? It's hard to think of people, esp. when I'm in such a chill/happy mood. If I think of someone else I'm going to come back and re-edit.
Edit 1: The Pre-post edit: Elena Landon I definitely disliked. She made the site go down three times (it was really her 1337 h@ck3r friend. who treated her like shit. it was hilarious finding that out), was a general dick about things. Also her minecraft project was bigger than mine.
No. Everyone wears masks. All the world's a stage, right?
And I doubt Halo is the same person you are when you turn off the computer.
For the longest time, there was a huge dichotomy between who I am and who I am online. Over time, I've worked to bridge the gap, working to be someone who incorporates the parts of both personas I liked.
I'll note that changing my username to Alex is me making a commitment to continue working to bridge the gap between who I am (online and offline) and who I want to be.
I'd say that I'm not as cautious as I am in real life. I'm more willing to say the snarky comment that comes to mind because the consequences are much lower.

Who are you and why does everyone talk about you all the time

Do you ever feel like we're not as good friends as we used to be?

Who in spam did you really not care for, secretly? Of the spammers that are no longer here, of course. I don't want to stir up anything. lol

Do you ever put a persona on in Spam/on RPG/on the net as a whole? What form do you think that persona takes, if it exists, and how different is it from the 'real' you?
No. Everyone wears masks. All the world's a stage, right?
And I doubt Halo is the same person you are when you turn off the computer.

Did that lolsorasgay meme shit ever become tiring or bother you or irritate you or anything of the sort
At first I found it hilarious.
And then it became commonplace in polls and at first I was like "lolwut" but then I liked how it was a representation of my relative popularity in spam. Feeling popular is nice.
Then in time it just became another part of spam. One of the various ways of tagging "real" members of the in-crowd.
Now that we don't have polls it only comes of sparingly, almost always in response to something I say. It really has no real meaning to me anymore.
Some of the aftereffects are a little annoying, but looking back I certainly help perpetuate it so there's no reason to really complain.
Also, I don't remember if I started it or if it was someone else's creation, honestly. Huh.

This shit again?
Yes!
I don't think I've ever done one. Or at least not without it being a farce.
I'm just a dirty hippie after all!
Though I reserve the right to not answer questions I don't feel comfortable with/don't particularly want to answer.
I'm in a very cheery mood tonight

Oh. Well damnit NuGuild, you ruined all my fun. By golly I was the only one on OldGuild, I swear it.
Fair enough.
You ARE, however, the only 1-character user.
(The other two are accounts that whose usernames were changed before banning was implemented.)
Claiming two characters is also fair games
But boy once you hit three other accounts pop up

I got the mods to change it to "8" in the name-change thread. Fun fact, I am the only RPG member with a username under three characters.
I checked, there are 14 usernames on NuGuild whose lengths are less than three characters long.
Thanks for sharing Elendra!
whoops
yeah we were butts, esp. early on

I was really only accepted in the IRC, and well sometimes back then they were HUGE dicks and didn't make me feel welcome or comfortable

Definitely. I started lurking around when you were more active. Only other members from that time I remember are Bunnay and Rilla (along with others still around today, just noting these two because they left), don't remember when exactly that was, time-wise...
Fourish years ago probably? I think 2010-11 were the RPG Awards, and I think Bunnay steadily stopped being a presence after those. My memory could be off, though.
