Ask a Staffer!

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

what is your favorite pinkie break?

 

what is your favorite mlp cultural reference?

 

what is you LEAST favorite cringe girly moment in the show?

 

and do you like gypsy pie from FiW?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the question above is for all staffers

 

1. Usually any where she would speak to the audience at the end of an episode when it faded to black.

 

2. Probably the Zelda pony at this point. XD

 

3. Eh, I don't have one under those instructions. A cringe moment is a cringe moment regardless. XD

 

4. Never watched FiW.

 

So have you all figured out which staffer is actually the alternate reality version of Koukatsu?

 

This is a thing?

 

What's your favourite moment in your time here at mlpforums?

 

 

Which is your favourite thread?

 

1. Would probably have to say when anytime poor Jeric is subjected to deer puns.

 

2. Favorite villains thread. :SombraIconThatDoesn'tExist:

 

Has your experience on the forums changed much ever since you joined the staff?

 

Yeah; it's inevitable. When you're in a position such as mine on the forum...it happens. While I've forum staff experience outside of MLPF, just interacting with the members here and trying to maintain their trust; it is a rewarding experience.

Well, kinda hard to argue against that.

[CheeryFox 23,822]

Would you try one of those full menu challenges? 

[Koukatsu 5,899]

Would you try one of those full menu challenges? 

Is that the thing where you eat ridiculous food in a time limit, or is there an actual challenge in some places to eat the entire menu?

If the latter... No. I don't eat a lot in one sitting. D:

If the former, however... I want to try this one:

Catching up a bit:

 

What's your favourite moment in your time here at mlpforums?

The singing bits for the Making Christmas Merrier fundraiser.

 

Which is your favourite thread?

The Luna Fan-club.

 

what is your favorite pinkie break?

I'm not sure this counts, as it's not really a fourth-wall break, but an 'established rules of the show' break: where she appeared in a mirror without being in the room.

 

Fave staff ship?

Lightwing x Everyone else 

 

Has your experience on the forums changed much ever since you joined the staff?

It's changed significantly as I was moved around in staff. I used to be a sectional in RP, and read every RP post in there. I'm not doing that anymore, as I'm now off doing other things and have difficulty finding the time to read every RP.

 

Would you try one of those full menu challenges? 

 

Nope. Can't really see the point for myself. I'm not particularly competitive.

 

Favorite Book?

It wanders around a lot, though I have a soft spot for 'The Pride of Chanur' by C.J. Cherryh.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Favorite Book?

 

I haven't read as many as I should've, but the "Thrawn Trilogy" books by Timothy Zahn definitely rank up there.

[Missklang 1,053]

Hello! I wanted to ask, will there ever be a "draconequus" rank? That would be cool!

Only if it comes with chocolate rain. CHOCOLATE RAIN!

I man my own ships sir! Do not cross into my waters or that be an act of war!

Why is it that I don't any questions for my O.Cs to answer? Am I not that cool enough or something?

What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

 

A long, long time ago I was a Chemical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. As part of the program there you go to classes for four months, then you go work for four months for 'job experience', and back and forth. It was the only way I was able to afford my degrees, as my family was poor enough that I couldn't even get student loans. Ended up in my favour as I graduated without debt, but that's not the crazy thing, it's just framing the events and explains why I have such a varied work experience.

 

As a ChemEng student the kinds of jobs I was able to get during those work terms were... interesting, and because of my situation I took the jobs that none of the other students would do. Ones that could negotiate into hazard pay bonuses.

 

The craziest one was at the 'Cyanamide' factory in Niagara Falls. I don't think it's there anymore. Cyanamide is a chemical mainly used to pull sulphur from steel during smelting while highly refined versions were used in pharmaceuticals. This place in Niagara Falls was still using an outdated process of production that everyone else had abandoned back in the 1920's because it was too dangerous. They made it by cooking calcium carbide and nitrogen in big standing furnaces. If the nitrogen supply gets plugged up while it's cooking normal air gets in instead. Because it's in Niagara Falls, the normal air is full of water vapor and instead of cyanamide what you get is cyanide and acetylene. Which means the furnace would explode. The lids on these 'pots' were multi-ton concrete and steel disks that would get propelled seventy feet into the air or more. And the factory floor usually had about a hundred of these furnaces going at any one time.

 

As the student, my job was basically to walk on top of these furnaces with a temperature probe and drop it into each furnace one at a time to see how it was doing. If it was too hot, it meant the nitrogen flow had stopped and the furnace was about to explode and I would use an air horn to let everyone know...

 

One of my other jobs at that factory was to hunt rats. Because cyanide was a byproduct and was very common, the rats in the factory had become immune to commercially available poisons. And you couldn't use a gun because of the acetylene that was in pockets throughout the factory. So hunting the rats was done with a baseball bat crawling around under the furnaces... which would occasionally explode as before.

 

And yes, this was all in the mid 80's. It sounds like something from the Victorian era, but it wasn't.

I've asked this question many times to so many people, This is one of if not the best answer I've ever read. X3

What do you do when you're sad? o_o 

 

I just typically find some space I can chill in, and allow myself time either calm myself or fine something that would help me get out of that rut. Sometimes just having time to think can do wonders, or even a simple crude joke from Achievement Hunter helps.
