Hi WT-LORD Fans and Players ...
HINT HINT HINT:
The mean Chihuahua dog loves Mexican food. Feed his need!
"mini-hint" ..... the backyard is a fun place to play but watch
out for the hubcaps and has anyone seen the keys to the old
pickup truck? ... Think People Think!!!!!
20 QUESTIONS:
The questions this time will be asked by
Joseph Watson and answered by
Joe Carpenter from the Great State of Alabama! I met Joe Carpenter in late
June down in Austin, Texas. He's a great guy and I wish I had a couple of
days to sit around with him and drink margaritas and shoot the sh*t!
One extremely nice guy .... a true Southern Gentleman!
1. Q: How long have you been playing WT-LORD?
A: (Joe Carpenter): I've been playing WT-LORD for about 8 years.
2. Q: How would you rate your skills and knowledge of
WT-LORD and my IGMS on a scale of 1 to 10
with 10 being an expert?A: (Joe Carpenter): I'd have to say about a 7...not an 'expert' like
Acad and Daddy X !
3. Q: Which IGM is your favorite and why?A: (Joe Carpenter): There's 3 that I play when rushed for time,
even if I don't do any Forest Fights, Twilight Zone, Dodge City
and Witch Doctor's Hut. The 'why' is easy, gold, experience
points and the ability to lay the smackdown on other players !
4. Q: What feature would you like to see in an IGM?
A: (Joe Carpenter): The ability to really mess with another player
for more than a single day ! A feature that'd not let a player hide in
an IGM or get a room at the Inn and drop strength and attack points
to 10 for 2-3 days of play. A nasty little bit of revenge for a player that
gets too carried away....like Raistlin and Tasslehoff <EG>
5. Q: What's your favorite food and drink and where do you go
to enjoy it?A: (Joe Carpenter): Has to be BBQ Ribs & beer...and only place
around here that has the best of both is Dreamland BBQ in
Birmingham, AL. (plus it's employees are all college girls !)
6. Q: What do you do for a real job and do you like it?
A: (Joe Carpenter): I've been a guitar/stage tech for ALABAMA
since 1980. The pay's not bad and I do have a LOT of time off
at home. I enjoy the travel and meeting the fans but wish I had
a little more 'off time' in the cities we visit ! Been to San Antonio
18 times since 1980 and have yet to see the Alamo !
7. Q: What would you do if you won $150 million in the lotto?A: (Joe Carpenter): Give 10% to a church first off, then, give my in-laws
some money and tell them to get lost ! Next, I'd build my dream house,
buy a condo at Myrtle Beach, SC and buy my favorite bar in Myrtle
Beach (The Bowery). With the rest, I'd set up a BBS and join forces with
Farpoint BBS and Acad's World BBS and have a LoRDNet
second-to-none and invest the remaining money.
8. Q: If you can have a "Straight Up" answer to any question
about something in any IGM ... what would it be?A: (Joe Carpenter): How to get the Launch Codes and
Alpha Code everyday in The White House ! (Figure
there's GOT to be a secret code that works everytime!
If not...hint-hint !)
"There is a way ... You know how I think so give it some
thought! ...... JW"
9. Q: Where are you from? A Southern Boy huh? Where do you
find the friendliest people during your travels?A: (Joe Carpenter): Born & raised in the mountains of NC,
now live in Alabama, in the mountains as well.
The friendliest people in the US are in the South ! After
that, Canadians (except for those around Quebec) are a
close second.
10. Q: What's your favorite Movie?
A: (Joe Carpenter): No question, Gone With The Wind !
11. Q: What's your favorite Music Group & Song?
A: (Joe Carpenter): Expect me to say ALABAMA ? <G>
Has to be The Carpenter's and favorite song,
"Goodbye To Love" (After 3 divorces, it became my
'theme song'). Basically, a fan of OLDIES (60's & 70's),
but enjoy the 'Big Band' sound as well.
"You need to hear my version of Goodbye to Love .....JW"
12. Q: If you could live anywhere in the US, where
would it be and why?
A: (Joe Carpenter): Myrtle Beach, SC ! A beach resort
that's active year-round with plenty of places to party
and beautiful women to look at !
13. Q: What's your favorite Sport?A: (Joe Carpenter): NASCAR !!! (WWE wrestling is just below that !)
"I'd like to take on the Divas in a winner take all match ..... JW"
14. Q: Blondes, Brunettes or Redheads? Regular of Kinky?A: (Joe Carpenter): It doesn't matter what color but, long hair
definitely!
15. Q: If you could swap places with someone
for a day, who would it be and why?A: (Joe Carpenter): Either real of fiction ... even animated. I
once want to "DO" Jessica Rabbit .. hmmm I'd like to be
either God or Superman. Either way, Osama Bin Laden and
the rest of the terrorists would come face-to-face with JUSTICE,
the American public and George Bush !
16. Q: Are you a fan of Pro Wrestling?
A: (Joe Carpenter): Are Texas women beautiful ?
Is John Kerry a joke ? Are Sam Houston & John Wayne
considered heroes ?? YES to all ! Pro Wrestling is the
closest thing men have to soap operas and I watch it !
"OH HELL YEAH! Gimme a HELL YEAH! ..... JW"
17. Q: What's your all-time Favorite TV Show?A: (Joe Carpenter): It's a tie between Law & Order and
Charmed. The 'charmed ones' can put a good spell
on me anytime ! (Try not to miss Star Trek Enterprise
when possible either, Jolene Blalock (T'Pol) is a babe !)
18. Q: What's a day in the life of Joe Carpenter like?A: (Joe Carpenter): At work, get up at 7am, unload
6 trucks and set up the stage, work the show, tear it all
down and repack the trucks and get in bed by 2am.
At home, sleep until 11am, read papers, work in
yard/house/pool, cook meals for family, play
LORD and watch TV. Get to bed about 2am.
19. Q: What would be your fantasy vacation?
A: (Joe Carpenter): Spend 2 weeks on the International
Space Station ! Second choice would be the first
non-scientific explorer of Mars.
20. Q: Do you believe in UFOs?
A: (Joe Carpenter): Yes ! It's hard to look at the millions
of stars at night and think that Earth is the only place
God created with intelligent life.
Joe, I'd like to thank you for your open answers to our

meeting you in Austin, Texas
