Our very own Lunar One!

You may or may not know about The City Scoop, the CoX Community Weekly Newsletter that is written completely by community members.

Each week, several people are chosen to do an interview titled "Behind the Mask." I was browsing this week's issue when I noticed a familiar name that was being interviewed, Lunar One. I wondered if that was the same player as the one we all know and love. I started to read the interview and thought he had mentioned that he was from Iowa and hated wearing pants. But when I noticed him mention Col. Flagg, his main, I knew it was our man! Except someone forgot to mention Gameamp... grrrr... :)

This week's City Scoop

I am Living in Iowa City, Iowa

Do you have any pets?

I have two dogs that are like my children. At least they act like they are.

Most interesting place you have visited?

Wow….I have been quite a few places in the US. Haven't gone outside of the US except on a train ride into Canada. That was fun. Really liked visiting Colorado.

1. Every Rose Has It’s Thorn by Poison
2. Thunderstruck by ACDC
3. Faithfully by Journey

What 5 TV shows could not live without?

1. Mash
2. College Football (not really a TV show)
3. Star Trek (any form)
4. History Shows
5. HGTV & Food Network

Best book you last read?

Well the best book would have to be Harry Potter.

What is your favorite pop culture quote?

Hmmm dont know that I have a favorite to be honest with you. That or I don’t pay enough attention to what people like in quotes.

What other hobbies do you have?

Well I have been collecting comics for over 17 years…God that is scary lol. I like the outdoors and love to cook. Like Video Games and RPG’s. Love Dogs, and Football. Interested in History and how things happened in the world. Piracey and Ancient Empires and all that type of thing.

Who is your real life hero?

Well it would have to be My Dad who passed away. He had so many health problems and was told so many times that he should not be alive, but he kept fighting for 20 years longer then they said he would have. He was such a wonderful and talented person with Theater. He loved Collage Football as much as I do. I miss being able to watch the games with him on Sat. I just miss him period.

Pants?

LOL this is actually kind of funny because anyone that really knows me knows I hate wearing pants. I would much rather be wearing shorts. Even during winter I will wear shorts. Not outside but inside. Altho I have been known to go out quick in shorts outside during the snow and cold hehehe.

What is your home server and why did you end up picking it as your home server?

Liberty is my home server. I actually started on Justice when I first started playing because a friend played on there. I soon decided that I wanted to start fresh on my own and Liberty was where I ended up. I guess I just liked the name. I have played on other servers because I will meet new people and friends I have made play there. I always feel at home on Liberty tho. Silly huh…I mean it is the same places and everything…I just feel like I am in a foreign country.

How did you get drawn to this game?

LOL well I love Comicbooks and would have loved to play from the start. I couldn’t tho as I did not have access to a good PC computer at the time. Then when it came time that I could get a really good computer, this is the first game I got for it. Been in love with it ever since.

What is your favorite aspect of the game?

I love the ability to create a character that is something I thought up. I used to play Paper dice games like Heroes Unlimited and Gurps and I miss those days of creativity. I don’t have anyone here anymore to play those so when I could play this with people from all over it was wonderful. You really feel like a superhero/villian controlling a person that you created. The only limit is your imagination.

Who is your namesake character and what are they?

Well I have two characters that are my loves. Col Flag is my first character and first one to fifty. He represents the Superman/Capt America type that I have always loved. I tried to put my own take on them and incorporate my own characteristics into the character of Col Flag that I created. And yes I got the name from a mash episode lol. My other character is Paragon Ghost. I call him my baby lol. He is like my other favorite character Batman in the sense that he is a strong dark type of character. That is about it tho as far as background story and such. I actually have an origin story created that uses a Villian from Arachnos, it is way to long to put in my small origin space in game. But it is an original story and I am pretty proud of it.

Which type of character would you say is your favorite to play and why?

Scrapper first and formost. It is what I know the best. Everything else I have to learn better how to play because I am not the greatest. I am learning and this is after 1 and ½ years of playing.

How do you normally handle new challenges in the game?

Well I do a lot of research on the forums and try to understand things on how something works. Inventions have taken me some time in understanding them but I think I finally get it lol. I have done some PvP and have been okay at it. I either do really well or I get my butt kicked. I have been talking with a friend tho on how to tweak Col Flag so we will see how that goes in PvP. Otherwise with anything it is just trial and error. You have to make mistakes to learn in life and gaming is no different.

What zone is your favorite?

Croatoa, I love that zone. I also like the new Faultline…it has some special memories for me when I was playing Paragon Ghost there. I like the idea of some zones but feel they tend to be somewhat similar or not used to what they could be. Dark Astoria is one that I think needs some contacts in, as well as Perez Park and Eden. I also would like to see more permanent things done for Pocket D. The ski lodge was wonderful but it is only seasonal. I could probably go on with ideas but then this would become a novel.

What is your favorite Storyline in the game?

Hmmm I am not really sure. There are a lot of really well written ones. I would not even begin to be able to say what they were right off hand.

It has been a busy year for the game so far. Do you feel that I9 and I10 really added anything to the game and why?

I think I9 added a lot to the game. I am hoping more inventions will be added that use tech salvage. There seems to be very little reciepes that use that type of salvage much. To be honest I like I10 but the Read warning writing of Doom can get a bit much. Especially when it goes in every window. But that is the way things go I suppose. As for the new additions I think they are really cool. It was a good revamp for a zone that was kind of not used for a lot. This way there is more of a use for it and a way to be able to team Heroes and Villains together without it being a PvP zone.

What advice do you have for any new players to the game?

Personally it would be to enjoy your first run to fifty. Read the storylines and just have fun playing. Be patient with learning the game and be creative. Don’t just do what everyone else says to do in the game. Find what works for you, and what is fun for you to do and play.

Any closing comments?

I have to say that I have met some wonderful people in this game. Have lost touch with some do to real life and continue to meet new ones. I am always amazed at how many wonderful people I meet in this game that you get to know on a personal level. I am looking forward to continuing playing and meeting people.
