Ask me anything. by ViceTechnicolour August 17, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

Prior AMA posts of mine have seemed short lived, and I have time to answer some questions.

Shoot at me.

Zintenka August 17, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

Whats your favorite food?
Why is it your favorite?
Would you have any type of relations with the food if it were alive?
Will it be long lived?
Would you consider marrying it?

BmB August 17, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

Am i so cool that you say my deep, thought provoking ama and decided that you want to become my fanboy and create your own? ;^)

Will you ever become a map dev again because you were the best mapdev :P and will you ever go for an official rank or ref rank because i think you would be good as either of those.

and of course to finish it all off, honest opinions on me?

Robin_DD_J August 17, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

How many bones have you ever broken? (Not yours?)

opinion on me??

ViceTechnicolour August 17, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

Whats your favorite food? I like omelettes the most, probably. I get it whenever I can.
Why is it your favorite? I don't know, I like it with ham inside mixed with hot sauce.
Would you have any type of relations with the food if it were alive? I'd probably cuddle with it.
Will it be long lived? Depends on how serious the relationship is.
Would you consider marrying it? No, it'll get cold by then.
Am i so cool that you say my deep, thought provoking ama and decided that you want to become my fanboy and create your own? ;^) Yes, that's the case!
Will you ever become a map dev again because you were the best mapdev :P and will you ever go for an official rank or ref rank because i think you would be good as either of those. I'm not currently considering either, but I was thinking about becoming a referee again depending on private things. Possibly for the future, but thanks for the support!
and of course to finish it all off, honest opinions on me? Might have said it in another topic, but you motivated me and I quite like you. Also, I like your skin and I considered putting your head on some of my maps for detail, so there's that.
Opinion on me??? I liked working with you as a mapdev, you were fun to have around. You were pretty constructive most of the time, always helped out a brother when we needed. I'd work with you again, for sure.
Why did you retire as mapdev? I retired because I didn't want to dedicate myself to anything further, and moderator enough was a stretch. Only returned because the staff team fell apart during/right after, and I was willing to help out. Talked internal a bit, hopefully I can be a piece to solve the puzzle. If Sli lets me, I can consider returning at a later point.
Opinions on me You're cool, I like you, but sometimes you should chill the caps. You'd be a lot more presentable, and certainly more respectable. Have some chill, man! <3
do u eat ducks Nope, don't eat duck.
do u eat spiders I've had one in my mouth before, so yes.
do u h8 me Not at all, the only thing ever questionable has been actions.
why did u buy me gold Because I had spare money and it was Kylo's birthday.
why are u a spider I prefer Tanpopo, or variations of it, so I'm a cosplay.
whats ur MAL MAL?
whats your hobby Avicus, to be honest, or at least Minecraft. Working on a server!
does sessp stalk u like how he stalks me I don't really talk to the guy :(
are u smart Not really, I actually slipped grades in school during Avicus.
do u like pancakes Breakfast is my jam.
who will win the next tourney If Bad Company is playing, I place my bets on them.
How many bones have you ever broken? For me, 1. For others, none.
Opinion on me?? I barely speak to you, you seem to be doing good moderating but otherwise I'm unsure to know enough to form an opinion, sorry! :(

ViceTechnicolour August 17, 2015 at 12:08 PM UTC

Opinions on 1.9?
I'm not entirely liking the concept of poison arrows, because they don't take any skill to just shoot across the map and take someone down to half a heart. Otherwise, it's a great breath of fresh air.

BmB August 17, 2015 at 3:08 PM UTC

If you could create the staff team as you wanted, selecting any players on the server who would you choose? Same question as you asked me on my AMA this was just out of interest, if you think it'll get you into trouble or break any friendships don't do it tho XD

Same question as you asked me on my AMA this was just out of interest, if you think it'll get you into trouble or break any friendships don't do it tho XD With no specific rank, I'd say Fluenza, IcyCode, timauesTestified, Aex, Legoman2302, Petlas, javipepe, The_Bad_1, pavilion99, Vobaseball12, Mango_, and I.
Reasons behind your names, starting from TheMasterCow :o TheLegendOfGames, poor translation from "The Lord of Games" from Banjo-Kazooie, UWantCookie, xbox live game that I liked with the name, ParaSpider because of ParaPenguin and ParaPhoenix, Kiesto because I was bored, Tanpopo because it meant dandelion in japanese and was one of my favorite trance tracks, and... I forget the rest. Tanpiku was cool though.
First minecraft version u played? I first started with Minecraft Classic. The days of lava survival and freebuild were always fun.
Do you fart in public? (^_^) Uh... not that I'm typically aware of.
Do you enjoy your job here? There's days where I've thought otherwise under internal tension, but for the server it is and hopefully will progress to be, I'll say yes.
What Drove you to become staff? I had extra time, and Avalanche Network shut down. Needed another project!
On a scale from Casey Anthony to Jerry Sandusky, how much do you like kids? I don't think I want to answer this question, but no, I don't like kids.
Favourite school subject? English.
Reason behind the '"para" part of your name? ParaPenguin and ParaPhoenix were cool, I wanted to fit in :(
Should we talk on Skype more? Yes! :D
Why are you so awesome and mature? (☞゚∀゚)☞

How did u feel when you first got a staff rank? Honored, for sure. Same feeling when I got into the map committee.
Favorite Gamemode? CTF, but the maps need to be done right.
Fav Server besides Avicus? Overcast :D
Do You Think You Will Go Higher Then Mod? I can hope so, got a lot of interest in a promotion if offered.

Thoughts on the quality of maps on Avicus versus OCN, what direction the Map Development team needs to head in to make more quality tournament maps, and also comment on the meta of tournament OCN play and tournament Avicus play and how does the OCN meta influence current Avicus meta. Also thoughts on me if you don't mind. Oh, and do you happen to still write YML's maps?


DonaldMyTrump August 18, 2015 at 4:08 AM UTC

Thoughts on the quality of maps on Avicus versus OCN, what direction the Map Development team needs to head in to make more quality tournament maps, and also comment on the meta of tournament OCN play and tournament Avicus play and how does the OCN meta influence current Avicus meta. Also thoughts on me if you don't mind. Oh, and do you happen to still write YML's maps?

Thoughts on the quality of maps on Avicus versus OCN Overcast has a huge advantage in gameplay over us: they can both look good and play good, but it seems that most of the maps we have aren't up to standards and are usually looking like some concept or thing that was released 50% into development. I dislike the huge amount of unbalance, flatness, rushing, lag, and generic materials when it comes to developing maps. I've tried to put effort into most of my maps, even joke ones, and unfortunately there seems to be a set on maps that are "classic" and not so directed toward styles like OCN, but maybe it's because I've played OCN for 3 years that I've adapted to it more. To be honest, both sides are strategic, but even defending on Overcast is more fun and cooperative.

what direction the Map Development team needs to head in to make more quality tournament maps I feel like the tournament map quality is fairly good, but if anything I'd improve, I'd get the community more involved so as long as they don't call random maps bad because they lost on it. I'd like to also have the officials who deal with map development be invited to scrims, and see if it should be kept or not. Maybe a period where players can test maps from a list, and throw back feedback to the officials? A rating system would help too.

meta of tournament OCN play and tournament Avicus play and how does the OCN meta influence current Avicus meta Well, gameplay seemed to be directed a lot toward Overcast players and that essentially ended up being my fault. By introducing concepts, cannoning, layouts, and other things that Overcast would have and Avicus wouldn't, including using an Overcast map, I'm not sure if that was a smart move. I can tell you though, that Avicus wasn't much influenced on the tournament for OCN as much as it was for ourselves except through maps. If I was official again, I'd probably steer caution and provide toward the end of the tournament better gameplay for both parties. Wasn't completely balanced.

Also thoughts on me if you don't mind. Fun and chill, good hearted. If you were more active in staff related activities, you probably would have made it to a senior moderator position.

Oh, and do you happen to still write YML's maps? Depends if I'm in the mood, probably.

As a moderator; you're doing fine, maybe participate more in slack.
As an official; Speak your mind, stand your ground, and try to be in match events more.
As a player; Really great guy, fun to play with and fun to know.
