What's the origin of your IGN and what does RC stand for?

[Kusanagi Haru]

Have you ever tried archery in real life since you're playing MapleStory as a bowmaster?

[MariettaRC]

I'll post all questions received in one post for convenience so people know what's already been asked, while answering everything separately... if that makes sense.

Questions and Answers received so far

What's the origin of your IGN and what does RC stand for?

My IGN is actually pretty old (like 2006 old) and comes from an original character of mine. Her full name is Marietta Ryley Colette, which is what RC stands for, so MariaColette and MariettaRC are the same names.

Have you ever tried archery in real life since you're playing MapleStory as a bowmaster?

Not yet, but I actually intend to at some point in the future! It's become a lifelong goal of mine to try out archery once I'm out of college and can move around on my own. A lack of transportation and my own funds is what's holding me back right now.

100 duck sized horses or one horse sized duck?

One is easier to maintain than one hundred. Plus, ducks are awesome. So let's go with a horse sized duck.

Hard choice because tiny horses sound adorable. :(

Do you know any SPers in real life?

I do not, at least not to the point of regular visits. Closest person would be @Gunship, who hardly counts since she never posts and I pretty much bullied her into joining in the first place.

how did you become a mod

I paid Eos in cheese.

(Serious answer: Same as every other mod did, I'm sure.)

Asked this last week...might as well ask this again!

Favorite pokemon? :3

When the chinchillas start to become dirty, what is 1 + 1?

Pomegranates. And that's not the censor.

besides homestuck, which other webcomics have you read? (you also told me you'd give girlyyy a chance! )

I did! I never got around to finishing it. :( But I read quite a few other webcomics, such as String Theory, Strays, Awkward Zombie, Brawl in the Family and one more that's slightly NSFW due to nudity. Those are the ones I actively follow because they fit in my bookmarks toolbar. I recently started on Monster Pulse and it's really good so far.

There are others, but they've either stopped updating, have been completed or I forget they exist. My attention span for webcomics is rather short, despite the fact that I've read through Homestuck twice now.

do you hate me?

I am incapable of truly hating another person.

Can you name all the current sp users that came from mapletip/koopaforce?

Let's see... other than you and myself (durr), we have

@iamflip
@Gunship
@Imagine
@Moonlapse
@Dark Link
@Greg
@¬Rob
@FlameChocobo
@Manu

... That's all I can remember right now.

What was your thought when Southperry ads were being SANIC-fied?

It made me giggle.

Have you ever been up north?

If by up north you mean anywhere in Europe/Canada, no. I've been to New York once when I was like 14, though, if that counts.

Has anything made you angry at something lately?

My laptop. It has a huge overheating problem that I know the reason behind and can't really fix and I've nowhere near enough funds to get a new one, so I'm stuck with it until I start working (which will be within the next year). I also can't run a lot of the games I could run before. No Mass Effect trilogy or Portal 2 co-op for me. ;__;

Almost everyone knows your hobby are bows and such,
How long have you been practicing? Have you ever been in a competition?

I've never actually done archery, as I have said before. But I really want to.

What's your favorite food?

Pasta! I'm a huge lover of any kind of pasta.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

I would live in the Netherlands, because it's pretty silly that I'm a Dutch citizen, yet have never set foot in the place. It's also got a great LGBTQ history, food that I miss very much and a few other things I'm already familiar with. The weather is the only downside I can think of.

Would you play Mari0 with me on a live stream some time? xd

Heck yeah I would.

Am I horrible monster?

If I say yes, will you stop feeding me again? :(

Bestest Homestuck character?

Oh my god why are you making me choose?! It's a very hard choice between Dave and Jade at the current standing.

Favourite non-nintendo vidya character?

In other words: "But enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"

On topic: What question do you really wish someone would ask? And what's the answer?

I've always wondered how many people knew I'm not American, despite living here. I'll let someone else ask if they're curious.

What is you favorite Nintendo console?

Definitely the Nintendo 64.

Red or blue?

Both because they make purple!

If I can only pick one, blue.

What online games do you play now?

None. My laptop's a piece of crap that doesn't like to run things, and DFO is gone. People are trying to get me into Elsword but I can't install it. >:(

WHY DID YOU LEAVE WINDIA ;A;

I haven't touched Maple in forever. ;_;

What is your favorite band? (or taste in music if you don't have one.) and, have you ever been to a concert?
Kinda generic questions, but I always like to hear people's taste in music. :o

I don't really have a favorite band but I do have a good amount worth mentioning, such as Machinae Supremacy, Anamanaguchi, Daft Punk, Nightwish, Within Temptation...

I listen to whatever is catchy, though. This includes mainstream pop, there's absolutely no shame in admitting that. But generally, my playlists mostly consists of Homestuck and video game soundtracks. :I

I have been to a concert before... once. It was a Ludacriss concert my godsister dragged me to when I was like 16. xD It was hard to say no because recognizable artists hardly ever come to the lesser Caribbean islands, so it was a (rather pointless) rare occasion for me.

Whats your favorite part about girls

Their beauty. But that goes without saying and doesn't just count for girls anyway. Beauty is subjective, after all.

How fangirly would you get if you met Andrew Hussie in real life, or respectively Lauren Faust, or Shigeru Miyamoto? How fangirly would you get if you met all three?

I would try my best not to make them feel uncomfortable, that's for sure. I would also probably fail.

OH AND I WOULD TELL MIYAMOTO TO ALLOW PAPER MARIO TO GO BACK TO THE OLD RPG WAYS, GOD.

What makes you happy?*

PS: Thanks for making the thread more convenient. ;)

You're welcome!

This is going to be a very corny answer but a lot of things make me happy, really. But no one does that job better than my girlfriend does.

can i have my stuff back? (loljkjk, serious question now)

if you could force a game into development/existance, which game would you like to see the most (i.e: a new paper mario, banjo trooie, a mish-mash of X, Y and Z, etc etc)

also, didn't you have spanish blood? could have sworn you did o.o

I do, I'm Hispanic. (And don't worry, I'll give your stuff back if you do want it back. :P I haven't been playing because the game lags to death on this computer now.)

As for the question, definitely a new Paper Mario with the turn-based, starpoint and badge systems back in place. Brand new story, new partners, maybe even old partners making a comeback, but the system in Paper Mario 2 was flawless and I would definitely bring that back. It's probably the biggest mistake the Paper Mario crew's ever done.

What was your longest relationship with a guy? / What was your longest relationship with a girl?

Two and a half years / 6 months and counting.

I'm.... I was from mapletip too :c

I'll ask a question just so the post isn't just whiny, what's your favourite 90's cartoon? (not anime) (actually answer for a 90's anime too)

OH NO I'M SORRY MANU. :C

My favorite 90's cartoon is The Powerpuff Girls. But I didn't start watching that until like 1999 or something, so a closer answer is probably Hey Arnold!

As for anime, definitely Dragonball/Dragonball Z.

Do you love me?

I recall writing to you in spanish.

As neutral as you can be (meaning not taking in count you use it way much), do you like more English or spanish? c:

Definitely English because I'm so much more used to it as a language. Spanish is a gorgeous language but its rules are pretty confusing. I only speak Spanish to my family because most of them can not speak English. :B

Following up on the three fandoms I mentioned, what plushie what you want from each? Remember, you can only choose one, and they will be perfectly detailed as per the character.

Luigi, Pinkie Pie, Sollux. :>

If you can have any firearm, be it for self-defense or just to own, what would you have? Money is no issue here, same for legal issues.

That one should be plainly obvious, seeing what class I play. Unless you don't count that as a firearm for some reason.

Did you already know all of these: http://www.cracked.com/article_19148...4=recommended?

All except the first, because I haven't played past Mario Party 3. I'm surprised they didn't list what happens when you lose in Ghost Guess in Mario Party 1.

What's your favorite memory from your time in Maple?



I feel the love

NO I LOVE YOU ALL I'M SORRY FOR BEING A FAILURE.

That would probably be during my 9x days on my old Ranger. For some reason, those memories were my fondest, even though my leveling pace was horrendously slow. The leveling wasn't what was important to me, but the times I had with my alliance and friends. That was when Guild PQ was still around and we'd finally been able to reach the guild ranks, which was an amazing achievement to me.

How are you feeling about school?

I've got a pretty good feeling about it! I'm almost done and I've got all my classes registered for until graduation.

If you were stuck on an island with a homestuck character, which one would it be?
(...Was this supposed to reference something? idk.)

Jade, because we're both islanders. \o/

What's the most bad ass thing you've ever done. And if it has something to do with paper mario, it most likely isn't bad ass

You mean beating the Chapter 6 boss with 10 HP and no items wasn't badass? :(

Well, I stood up to my bully in 6th grade and she stopped picking on me since then, does that count?

What's the story behind your current avatar?

It's a reference to Homestuck, with the character on the left being a "rainbow-drinker" (an alien species of vampire, essentially), with the ability to "glow" (think Twilight but not lame) and she can turn that on and off at will... so that avatar happened.

It sounds stupid but it makes sense in context, trust me.

I shall interpret that as automatic gatling bow.

New question: If you can choose only one, which would you choose: End world hunger, or end all diseases?

Heck if I know.

Probably world hunger.

You can only choose to read one of these webcomics for the rest of your life, which do you choose?

I wouldn't mind reading Homestuck for the rest of my life, considering it's the only webcomic I've actually bothered to re-read more than once.

What's your current opinion on homestuck and what hussie is doing with it? I'm kinda lost on the stotyline rht now (doesn't mean explain it to me but if you want, go ahead,who am I to stop you).

I think he's doing a great job with it. A lot of people complain about "too much drama," or "too many intermissions" but he's had all that stuff planned out forever (and the kids are teenagers, for God's sake, of course there's going to be drama). It's taken a lot of interesting turns and I've been able to follow pretty much everything and have absolutely no objections to how he's been handling it. He hasn't ceased to blow my mind with all the plot twists. I'm very eager to see what he has in store after the big hiatus is over.

Post-Act 6 Homestuck spoiler

Not to mention his adding of John's arms to panels is absolutely hilarious.

Feel free to PM me with questions about the storyline if you want. :P

What was your reaction to the hiatus? ...Or ANY hiatus in that matter.

Those are always disappointing. But it doesn't bother me too much seeing as they're always for good reasons (not that I would ever blame him for taking a break at all). Besides... it's for the game!

Are you a big eater? If not regularly, are you able to still scare or impress some people on how much you can put away?

Nah. I do think I eat a lot but not to the point of it being noticeable.

If Luigi was the main hero instead of Mario in the series, would you still like him as much as you do now?

Probably not, if Mario gets the same treatment Luigi does now.

How many langauges do you speak/read?

Three; English, Spanish and Dutch.
