What is something you would like the Utopia community to know about you?
I’m competitive, and I will defend my kingdom mates pretty much no matter what, so watch out!
What brought you into Utopia and what keeps you playing?
I started in college, needed something to just debrief with!
Why do you think the game is generally so unappealing to other females?
Most females that I have met are not into wars, or gaming, but hair and nails and boys….almost regardless of age hah!
Do you remember which KD you first played in?
Nope. Kids have ALL the brain cells, not to mention I started in college….when all other brain cells were being used in attempt at learning….
Do you remember boats?
No, that I do not remember….I do remember playing on two different servers at the same time… LOVED that!
Describe the most memorable age in your uto-experience.
The first time I landed in a competitive kingdom that was active and actually won wars and actively sought wars instead of just “playing for fun.”
What was the worst/dumbest mistake you’ve made in the game?
Not getting my own intel and bouncing an attack in a rather important war…
What is/was your favorite theme?
I don’t think I’ve had a favorite yet….
Which combination of race/personality is your favorite? Past or present.
Used to love playing A/M/T with fae/mystic…..but that was a loooong time ago. Now, I’m addicted to 5 gens, so whatever gives me max attacking and 5 gens, that’s me.
What ranks and/or roles have you held in your uto-experience?
Mage, A/m, A/M/t, A/T and pure attacker
Have you played in any alliances?
nope
What is a weakness of yours? RL or in-game.
Cupcakes
How do you handle interactions with a KDmate you have a disagreement with or your monarch when you disagree with an order?
If it’s the monarch, I PM to figure out why we are doing whatever I disagree with, or perhaps ask in chat, KDmate, most likely the same...generally though, I like to listen to all sides and will try and learn from everything.
Do you feel like your gender has been a barrier to being taken seriously in this game?
Not at all.
What about as leadership?
Never really wanted leadership….soooo no knowledge here!

nope
How many FB friends do you have from Utopia?
none
What makes you want to rage quit?
Ummm nothing?
What do you do in RL to get yourself ready for war in-game?
Make sure I have the baby on my army return schedule and vice a versa
If you could create a race for the game, what would it be?
Griffon, 5 gens, speed of avian, with econ bonuses of human
What other utopia-related projects have you worked on?
None really….though I do play Syrnia
If you could wave a magic wand, what’s the one change you’d make to Utopia?
NO MORE OOPS!!!
What is something you hope to see in the future in this game?
No more oops and the server NOT MOVING at all at the beginning of the age….
Who do you think will take the iron throne?
I do not know what this iron throne is....
