Nonmember Interviews
By Salem

Salem : If you could point your finger at someone for being a bad example to set to new online gamers who would it be?

Cleopatra$ : Tough one....I don't like to point at someone, because I think everyone has something to offer if they are in the right mood and right team. But I definitely don't like unfriendly or racist behavior that some people show on the servers and forums.

Salem : Racism was certainly an early feature of Kingpin but thankfully as the players matured the racism stopped. Do you think that RTCW could go the same way racism wise?Perhaps some anti German feelings?

Cleopatra$ : Sometimes I see on RTCW the names some people use and I get the creeps. I think they don't even know what they actually know what statement they are trying to make when they do it. What I don't understand of the makers of RTCW is that they have linked the game so much to Germany and WWII... Its to be hoped that they have made the uniforms and and other WWII specific references a bit more fantasy-like. I think if they made it Israelians-like vs Palestinians-like they wouldn't even have permission to give it away, let alone sell it.

Salem : Recently I decided to take stock of the numerous items that I have purchased to enhance my gaming experience. The most ridiculous item I have is a set of thick black plastic 3D goggles. What would you consider to be the silliest thing you have ever purchased for your PC.

Cleopatra$ : I bought a blue orb cooler coz I wanted to speedup my Vcard. It's still lying on me desk after 6 months.

Salem : If you were to meet a newbie player on a server what would your advice be to them?

Cleopatra$ : I always try to help new Kingpin players. Recently I met a newbie Dutch guy on a server who didn't have a clue what to do, I gave him my ICQ number, pointed him to the KPLC site and answered the questions he had. I always try to make new players enthusiastic for the game, so the community will stay and grow..

Salem : As a player in an established clan what would you say was more valuable to the team - A highly skilled but unreliable player or a reliable player of average skill?

Cleopatra$ : a reliable player with average skill, with a nice character.

Salem : Outside of your own clan who would you say that you respect the most as a member of the scene and why?

Cleopatra$ : Tantrum. Coz he is always nice to his admins, always is there when u need his help and cares about what people say on servers and takes action that is needed. He still is dedicated to Kingpin and runs his leagues very well.

Salem : Imagine your in the middle of a power cut. How would you be spending your time?

Cleopatra$ : take care of the contents of my deepfreezer, so they won't get lost. Light some candles and read a book. There are other nice ideas too of course :D

Salem : As a closing thought for our readers, what above all else would you like them to take from this interview as a reminder of who you are?

Cleopatra$ : <<<Re$$$pect others, the way you want to be re$$$pected yourself>>>

Salem : Well Cleo, that brings us to the end of our interview and all that remains is to thank you for your time on both mine and our readers behalf. Its been a true pleasure.

Cleopatra$ : I liked this and I am honored u interviewed me :)
