  • The Storyteller Interviews, Edition 2: Grandpa Troll

    Hi Everybody! It's your ol' pal Alexander the Great here, interviewing our good buddy Grandpa Troll!!! I took this interviewer gig because the all-knowing boss of me, Metaliturtle, has no plans for me to be in his stories anymore. Woe is me! But for reals, this isn't about me, it's about one of my favorite new additions to the Civ3 Stories Forum, Grandpa Troll!!! I already said that... but I'll say it again!! Grandpa Troll!!!!

    So, here's the name of the game folks. You post all kinds of crazy obscene questions on this thread. Good ol' reliable Grandpa Troll answers them in a series of PMs to Mister Metaliturtle. Mister Metaliturtle then rocks it out in a big fat informative yet highly entertaining document for our all-wise "Yoda" of stories, Dark Cloud. Then Dark Cloud will make it a news item and instantly Grandpa Troll, Metaliturtle, and I become famous in Apolyton Land! (Not that I already wasn't.)

    So let's see some...

    Questions for Grandpa Troll!

    1. Grandpa Troll, word on the street is that Grandpa Troll isn't your original forum handle, would you care to explain the evolution of your many Apolyton names?

    2. I saw a bumper sticker once that said 'If you remember the 60's, you probably weren't there," so, what happened back in the 1960's that you were so hesitant to talk about?

    3. Which of your Grandpalicious (can I call you Grandpalicious?) stories is your favorite? Your least favorite?

    4. What are your 3- 5 Favorite Civ III-Story Tales OTHERS have written and why did you enjoy them?

    5. If an Ocelot got into a fight with a modestly armed Lancelot (of King Arthur fame), who would win, in your opinion and why?

    6. What got you interested in writing?

    7. How old were you when you first started writing?

    8. What motivates your writings?

    9. Does forum feedback dictate storyline in a current writing? Future writing?

    10. Why write for Apolyton?

    11. Your avatar has a picture of you and your grandson, tell us a little about him.

    12. Do you think he will become a lil' Troll and rock some spiffy stories out on here anytime soon?

    13. I noticed that you are a member of Apolyton Plus, since some people may not be sure about the benefits (besides the really cool 'inmate' badge) could you tell us why you think Apolyton Plus was worth the investment?

    14. I believe 13 questions is bad luck, are you superstitious at all?


    So there's some questions to start stirring the pot, ask any, ask all, ask about whatever, you post questions, I'll try to get Grandpa Troll to send them to Metaliturtle to send them to Dark Cloud so he can post them and then you can read the answers! Phew!

      DC, let's face it, we're gonna keep battling animals because it gives the author a chance to show off Creativi-T!

      Edited addendum: Plus, Ocelot rhymes sorta with Lancelot, and that's cool!

            very nice, I'd see about adding anything... but I think you've got it basically figured out.

            Nice work Turtle.

                      Okay, well, Metaliturtle, if you could please send me the edited answers, I'll see what I can do with them.

                      I'll nudge mark and dan about jump-starting hte series with an official large news item/special... now that the Apolyton 6th Birthday celebration is over, it'll probably be only a matter of days before Interview #1 is up!
