Hi WT-LORD Fans and Players ...

I was being pestered a few days back by my good friend
Joe Carpenter on some typos in "Joseph's Revenge'.
Not to be outdone or told off about it I fixed the typos
then decided to update the entire IGM. When I finished
I had added another 65 acronyms ... now it's up to 350
different acronyms ... enjoy! This addition should keep
Chuck Brogan working on his Joseph's Revenge
Acronym List.

I have also been working on updating my IGM page
for Sysops who would like to run my IGMs and get the
latest versions. CLICK HERE to get to my IGM page.

 

HINT HINT HINT:
Many times I've been asked about a specific acronym
in "Joseph's Revenge" ...

 

The hint: T*** Y*** C******
The answer: Toss Your Cookies

Many people have been trying: Take Your Chances

 



20 QUESTIONS:

The questions this time will be asked by Joseph Watson and answered by
Shannon Talley from his abode on the East Coast of the USA!
Many of you may know of him through his BBS ... FidoTel

 

 

 

1. Q: How long have you been playing WT-LORD?

A: (Shannon Talley): Only as long as I've been running my BBS
I originally downloaded my copy from the original programmer,
Joe Marcelletti, in 1998.  I found some bugs and offered to help. 
He gave me a free registration, and the rest is history.
 

 

2. Q: What Character name/'s do you use when Playing WT-LORD?

A: (Shannon Talley): I have three characters.  When I'm testing
something in the game, I use "Fred", just plain-o-Fred.  When
I'm playing, my known character is "DudeMaster".  When I
don't want folks to know it's me, well. I'll keep that one to myself.
 

 

3. Q: Which IGM is your favorite and why?

A: (Shannon Talley): That's hard to say.  As you continue to
make new ones, I get tired of the old ones and start fresh. 
I'm partial to Trailer House at the moment.
*** Have you made it into the Backyard yet Shannon?***
 

 

4. Q: How much time do you spend online? and doing what?

A: (Shannon Talley): During the winter, I spend a great deal of time
online.  Probably  between 10-15hrs per day.  I attend
Capella University online, manage an online collaboration site for
college, play, and beef up Fidotel.com.  During the summer,
I spend most of my time outside running, training for a race,
or simply chill'in and gett'n a tan.
 

 

5. Q: What is your favorite food?

A: (Shannon Talley): Pizza, definitely Pizza.  Or, well maybe
Mexican food.  We don't have real Mexican food here in
Virginia Beach, so it's kind of gone by the wayside.
 

 

6. Q: What do you do for a real job and do you like it?

A: (Shannon Talley): Currently, career Navy.  I've been in
the Navy for almost 18yrs.  I'm assigned to a cushy shore
duty job for my last two years before I retire.  After that,
I'll have finished my grad in IT and post grad in Business. 
Then, who knows. Obviously something in the IT field.
 

 

7. Q: Where do you live?

A: (Shannon Talley): Good old, Virginia Beach, VA.

 

 

8: Q: If you could learn an "AWESOME" secret about an IGM,
would you share it or keep it a secret?

A: (Shannon Talley): I would probably share it with an underdog. 
I hate it when a newbee player pops online and gets "creamed"
by some monster player with billions of dollars.  Nothing like a
little nudge to help someone out.
 

 

9: Q: What's your educational background?

A: (Shannon Talley): I'm currently pursuing my graduate degree
in IT with a minor in Networking. I've got 4 more classes,
then I'll continue by obtaining my post grad in business with an
emphasis in networking.  I'm also a certified personal trainer
and on the U.S. Navy Run Team.
 

 

10. Q: What's your favorite Movie?

A: (Shannon Talley): I'm from Texas, so I'll have to say,
"Debbie does Dallas".
**** I've never seen that one ... who are the stars?****

 

 

11. Q: If you won the Lottery, what would you do with the money?

A: (Shannon Talley): Quickly leave the Navy and take a long vacation.
I'd start in Amsterdam, and finish on a Caribbean island somewhere. 
After that's out of my system, I'd probably buy some women in Spain,
a yacht, and travel the world over the ocean.
 

 

12. Q: Are you a Pro Wrestling Fan?

A: (Shannon Talley): Hate it..  Never liked to look at buff dudes
sweating and feeling each other up.  I'm even a distant cousin
of The Von Erichs.
 

 

13. Q: Do you drink? If so, what's your favorite drink?

A: (Shannon Talley): Her Queen's finest ale, and beer from
Germany's Kiel Brewery!  Since I've had the best, I can't
settle for our watered down version of beer.

 

 

14. Q: What's your idea of the "Perfect Girl"?

A: (Shannon Talley): Blonde hair, Brown eyes, 21yrs old, and dumb as a rock.
 

 

15. Q: How old are you?

A: (Shannon Talley): 37 years old.



 

16. Q: If you the world was ending today,
what would be your last "HOORAY"?

A: (Shannon Talley): Hmmm. Well, I'm in the service and we
have pee tests, so I can't say here.

 

 

17. Q: What's your all-time favorite Music Group?

A: (Shannon Talley): This one is hard. I'm a fan of Rock music and
I like just about everything that's introduced today, but I guess
Van Halen would have to be the answer.
 

 

18. Q: What's a day in your life like?

A: (Shannon Talley): Workout, face time in the office, work
on the computer at home, dinner, and then a movie on the
home entertainment system.
 

 

19. Q: What is the wildest and craziest thing you've ever
done and do you regret it?

A: (Shannon Talley): Many years ago, at a desert party in Arizona,
I set fire to someone's '77 corvette.  I have no regrets, the
guy was an ***hole and deserved it.
 

 

20. Q: What's your marriage status?

A: (Shannon Talley): Happily divorced, single and enjoying it.
 

 

BONUS QUESTION:

Q: Rank yourself on a scale of 1 - 10 on your knowledge of women and how you
come to that ranking.

A: (Shannon Talley): I would have to assess myself as an 8.  Anyone who
has been married and divorced has a better understanding of women, and
then when you add single dating on top of that, one gets a variety of
women and obtains more knowledge of what makes them tick. 
 

 

Shannon, I'd like to thank you for your open answers to our
questions this month. It's been nice interviewing you and
thanks a bunch for volunteering for the interview.

 

Other players wishing to be interviewed should contact me!

NEXT MONTH: ..... NO ONE IS LINED UP YET for
February 2005 .... volunteer today!
