FoA Interview #8: Ming (Parts 1 & 2)

[DanQ]

The eighth edition of the "Faces of Apolyton" interview series, spearheaded by Apolyton staff member and interviewer Solver, is here. Today, we sport a massive seven-page article with <A HREF="http://apolyton.net/misc/interviews/foa_8ming.shtml">Ming</A> -- and that's only the first part! Undoubtedly one of the most widely anticipated "FoA" editions to date, he's everyone's favorite forum moderator, "Man with a Thousand Guns", and the second instalment is only a week down the road. You are welcome and encouraged to post your comments on this interview in this thread.

What can you look forward to in future "FoA" features? On April 9th Jay Bee, webmaster of the <I>Spanish CivII Site</I> hosted on Apolyton, will bask in the limelight. For past "FoA" and other interviews, <A HREF="http://apolyton.net/misc/interviews">click here</A>.

Excellent , and not just because i got two mentions either

can't wait for the second part

[Keygen]

Very interesting interview. One of the best FoA interview ever read

The questions regarding other posters got a little to far but hopefully we are going to have a second part

How did you managed to find a gamer woman Ming?
Hard to find one

Conrgatulations Chris & Ming

[Lancer]

Damn, I wish I always had an opponent for my Avalon Hill games. You and Rah ever play any SPI games Ming?

[Locutus]

Good interview Like Keygen said, it focused a little too much on other posters, but I learned a lot of new things about that big guy doing all those moderator chores for me

[notyoueither]

For the most part, very pithy. Almost like this guy is used to many questions and many answers in a short period of time. How would that be?

How could it not focus a lot on other posters? How many times do you get the chance to look into the psyche of the merciless one? Although, he did come through as almost human. Just kidding.

Oh well, he has a chance to redeem himself in part 2.

More insightful into the human behind the handle than others I've read.

[Solver]

Yeah, thanks Chris for the interview!

In the second part Ming does say something about himself, like what music he loves and what he thinks about Civ 3. That's why the second part should actually be a taboo read for any Firaxians.

Chris62: SCA events?
Ming: Society for Creative Anachronism, Medieval reenactment.

hehe so when you get sent to mingapulco does that mean that ming parts on a suit of armor and chases you around with a sword?

good interview though

[rah]

Good interview, even though I'm slightly biased

SCA, hmmm he was once interviewed on a local TV station while wearing a kilt. I laughed for a month.

If part 2 doesn't reveal the man, I have plenty of stories
(Ming, you know where to send the check)

I play

and would be willing to play when I am in Oregon (might be less often from now on)

[Chris 62]

Parts is parts...

I see comments about the focus on posters, but keep in mind, I didn't know this would be split.

Part two will reveal a LOT more.

[DinoDoc]

Ming if you can ever mangae to tear yourself away from Civ, I think I've found a game that would allow you to indulge yourself in a bit of nostalgia: Freedom Force
