May 9, 2004


Wirebreak says, "ok, we can get started now"

Anseladams shines the light on Racingnut.

Wirebreak exclaims, "welcome everyone to another edition of Meet and Greet!"

Racingnut walks up the steps of the stage and sits down on the edge of it

Wolfyn cheers and waves some sort of racing flag thingy.

Wirebreak says, "tonight I have the honor, and the priviledge, to interview the one, the only!, Racingnut.."

Racingnut bows and smiles

Anseladams turns on the applause sign.

"tell us Rn, how did you first come to find Fed?", asks Wirebreak.

"I found it on an AOL advertisement originally back in 1995", says Racingnut.

"ah... the good ole banner", says Wirebreak.

Racingnut nods

Racingnut says, "ive always been a scifi junkie so i decided to check it out"

Japresnik remembers that banner too

Ldyemrald never saw it

Bling remembers the old AOL 2.0

Japresnik chuckles, emmy you never seen Duffs before tonite

"do you remember any old names from back then?", asks Wirebreak.

Ldyemrald says, "good point babe"

"a few..coitster1 po of babylonfive, longstridr, onyxGod, AZwirble..to name a few", says Racingnut.

"unfortunetly most of em are gone now", says Racingnut.

"longstridr and Onyx? that had to be interesting", says Wirebreak.

Japresnik agrees

"longstridr taught me a lot about fed", says Racingnut.

"how far did you make it before the move to the web?", asks Wirebreak.

"i made it to squire but left in 1997 right before aol went unlimited", says Racingnut.

Wirebreak asks, "what made you decide to leave?"

Racingnut says, "financial problems was the main reason"

Wirebreak nods.

Racingnut says, "i never had a chance back then to model grandstand"

Racingnut says, "i came back october 2002 determined i would do so"

"who helped you out then?", asks Wirebreak.

"when i came back? i met blirish and the 3d gang got hooked up with them and they helped me get going and later i joined rasals duchy and then went to Aries", says Racingnut.

Wirebreak nods.

Wirebreak says, "3d was a big crowd"

"yes it was..consisted of about 14 duchies altogether", says Racingnut.

Wirebreak asks, "when did you start fighting?"

Racingnut says, "about a year ago i started fighting competitively but lately im semi retired"

Wirebreak says, "you were doing well for yourself before the Blirish migration"

"what have you been up to here as of late?", asks Wirebreak.

"well running Grandstand of course ive spent a lot of time in fed II and enjoy it a lot", says Racingnut.

Racingnut says, "im looking forward to the final write"

"you won a Carpentar award just a few months ago", says Wirebreak.

Wirebreak asks, "what are your feelings on that after all of the work you put into it?"

Racingnut says, "::smiles:: when i got it it was a fulfillment of a promise, without wilde though it wouldnt of been possible she always knew what i was looking for"

"i was ecstatic when i got the award", says Racingnut.

Wirebreak asks, "any embarrassing moments you'd like to share?"

Racingnut says, "fell for the ATM 3 south of mercury thing once back in aolfed.."

Tis laughs!

Nuhira remembers that joke

Wirebreak says, "everyone had to fall for that one at some point in time"

Racingnut says, "oh they probably did"

"i did go back there after that..tried going around the sun but it never worked", says Racingnut.

Wirebreak laughs.

Shel smiles

Racingnut says, "rookie mistakes ::shrugs::"

"I think you missed all of the partying on the sun in Fed2", says Wirebreak.

Snowstar grins.

Racingnut says, "no i didnt i landed on the sun a few times in fed 2"

Wirebreak asks, "what is your impression of Fed2 so far?"

"its better than fed I..im glad to see people cant just do a groundhog to squire in a day anymore", says Racingnut.

Racingnut says, "you actually have to work for promotion"

Wirebreak nods.

Pico exclaims, "Wow, think of that!"

Pico stares off into space...

Wirebreak asks, "anything in particular that you would like to see added?"

Tis cheers!

Ldyemrald gasps in horror!

Shel giggles

"more planet locations i want to expand grandstand in fed 2 so that it can be a racing circuit", says Racingnut.

"couple 3 more tracks i want to build", says Racingnut.

Wirebreak nods.

Wirebreak says, "alright, I think its time to hear form the peanut gallery"

Wirebreak asks, "anyone have a question for Rn?"

Racingnut sips his beer

Bigfoot perks up at the thought of peanuts...

Erasmus says, "i like cashews"

Ldyemrald says, "they are yummy"

Wirebreak asks, "anyone?"

"what type of racing do you like", says Erasmus.

Erasmus has never been to Grandstand

"Do you like cashews too?", asks Ldyemrald.

Racingnut says, "road racing mostly but i steer clear from F-1..but most of the time if it has 4 wheels and a fast engine ill watch it"

Wolfyn chuckles.

"in RL i currently race 40mph go-karts in maine", says Racingnut.

Erasmus asks, "do you think Dale Jarrett should drive the truck?"

"125?", asks Danimo.

Racingnut says, "i wish he would hehe"

"Where is Maine do you live?", asks Ldyemrald.

Erasmus actyallu asked someone that in an interview

Racingnut says, "Lewiston/Auburn area"

"central maine", says Racingnut.

Ldyemrald blinks....

"Do you like imports, if so, what is your favorite Import car?", asks Bling.

"so do I", says Ldyemrald.

"job interview", says Erasmus.

"There are people to race against in maine?", asks Danimo.

"i drive a 1998 Subaru Forester..but my favorite import is the new Porsche 911", says Racingnut.

"yes Danimo", says Racingnut.

"many race in maine indoor karting and many are quite good", says Racingnut.

"have you learned your lesson about hitting walls at 40 mph yet?", asks Wirebreak.

"hell no", says Racingnut.

"did it last night", says Racingnut.

Wolfyn winces.

Wirebreak asks, "this makes what? 3 times?"

Ldyemrald is still amazed that Rn lives in Lewiston/Auburn......

"didnt hurt nearly as much as i hit with the back end of it..back end went slightly airborne and i hit the throttle soon as it came back down", says Racingnut.

"twice", smiles Racingnut.

"They put airbags on those things?", says Snowstar with a wink.

Wirebreak asks, "anyone else have a question?"

Tis says, "Ouch"

Ldyemrald wonders if she knows Rn in real life....

Racingnut smiles, "possibly"

Erasmus is guessing em lives in Maine

Ldyemrald lives in Lewiston

"How old are you Rn?", asks Ldyemrald.

Ldyemrald says, "if you don't mind me asking"

"I'm guessing that that area isn't very large?", Wirebreak asks.

Wolfyn asks, "Besides Grandstand, what're some of your favorite planets?"

Racingnut smiles, "27 ldy"

"A karter steer clear of F1? I thought all karters dreamed of being the next Schumacher.", says Danimo.

Ldyemrald is 36

Bling is probably the youngest one here.

Ldyemrald says, "Well, for Maine it's big I guess"

"Bling, if you are older than 20, then I have you beat", says Wirebreak.

Racingnut smiles, "well....i enjoy exploring honshu for one..i havent explored a lot of planets"

Bling grins evilly.

"and to answer danimos question...", says Racingnut.

"you don't have me beat just yet", says Bling.

"how old are ya, Wirebreak?", asks Bling.

"after about 2 laps F-1 becomes 84 high speed parade laps essentially, its not terribly exciting to me", says Racingnut.

"20", says Wirebreak with a wink.

"beat ya", says Bling.

Wirebreak asks, "did you ever explore Thorus, Rn?"

Bling says, "17 here =P"

"yes i did..the corkscrew is where i got a lot of my ideas for grandstand", says Racingnut.

Wolfyn says, "Thorus was a pretty neat place."

"Hey, 12 laps of the race today were interesting, until Schumi took the lead then i fell asleep for the rest. :P", says Danimo.

Racingnut says, "yes it was i miss it it was very well done"

Wirebreak was one of the last to solve the puzzle.

"when shumi takes the lead ieveryone falls asleep", says Racingnut with a wink.

Snowstar smiles, "how about exploring Babe? There used to be a racetrack there too"

"no i never explored it", says Racingnut.

Tis remembers the track on Babe...

Pico winks and says, "Yah, you should ask Snowstar about Babe, she's been there plenty o' times"

Wirebreak asks, "didn't you try our my track on Gforce/Domestic at one point in time?"

Racingnut says, "yes i did"

Snowstar smiles, "Many folks visited Babe"

Pico grins.

Tis spent many happy hours on Babe.

"alright, anyone else have a question for the nut?", Wirebreak asks.

"did you bet on smarty jones", says Erasmus.

"cause he is from my area you know", says Erasmus.

"fraid i didnt", smiles Racingnut.

Wirebreak smiles, "alright everyone, I think that wraps up this edition of Meet and Greet"

"well nobody's perfect", says Erasmus.
