What's your most favorite department in Karma?
What makes a region lame?
How did you come up with the name 'Altino'?
Taki asked an opposite question, so - what is the greatest strength of Karma?

My fave department, when it's actually functional, is FA. It's exciting to me to work with other people and make friends. When FA isn't functioning, I like the Chameleons best. For the same reason. :) Plus I just really love region building.

Regions are lame that feel like there's a recipe to success that they have to follow. They end up copying some other region and doing a bad job and just struggling to make it work the whole time.

Altino is named after celebrity Chef Alton Brown! I just like Alton Brown, so sue me.

Karma's greatest strengths are their stubbornness and their kindness. Karma doesn't back down and they stand by their folks, they're very strong. But they don't use that strength to just whack people around. They make friends, they're accepting, and they know how to be gentle when the time is right.

Also hi, Paulie, love you ♡ :)

What is your favorite book?
Who's your favorite person in the region?
Is Res lame or not?

My favorite book is East of Eden by John Steinbeck! It's just a good book, well written, it's got gems all over the place.

My favorite person in the region is, duh, Rigel.

Res is extremely lame and also a huge nerd.

What's your favorite season?
If a genie could grant you three wishes, what would they be?
What's a skill you lack but like to have?
Do you have a favorite breed of owl or are they all equally amazing?

I love Fall. :) That nice, orange, just the right amount ot cold weather is what I live for.

I would wish I could talk to my dad, that I would always know when the answer should be yes, and that I could cure sick animals.

I'm not good at building. It would be really convenient to me if I were good at building, I like having things built and have tons of ideas about things that would help me, but I don't have the tools or skills to make them.

Barn owls are my favorite, but every owl is awesome.

Hello Alti!

Which GCR is the Karen of NationStates?

Why is democracy awful in NS?

You haven't mentioned your favorite Sage. What do you like most about working with Peter? What do you find difficult in working with him?

My biggest NS regret is that I haven't been able to put in the time over the past 2ish years to really make the kind of impact that I am capable of in the UCR or GCR world. I still feel that you and I full of time and energy could shakedown this game and steal all of the lunch money. What is your biggest NS regret?

The Karen of GCRs is quiiiiite clearly TSP. There are other GCRs which I dislike more, but nobody gets righteously offended like TSP gets righteously offended. If TSP could be speaking to McMasterdonia's manager right now, they would be. TSP's reaction to even the slightest inconvenience is like you just told them you were out of chocolate croissants at the Starbucks. What do you mean you're out of chocolate croissants?! I get a chocolate croissant every day! I'm a paying customer! Can't you just go in the back and get one croissant? Is it really that hard? Facebook will hear about this.

Democracy sucks because most regions do democracy for moral reasons rather than logical ones. I think it's perfectly valid for a region to evolve into a democracy once they have the stability and manpower to sustain it. But instead regions cry into their teacups about the moral imperative of democracy while the same 3.5 people run every facet of their region because they're either too corrupt to get anyone else in power or too dead to convince anyone else to run. If you can't keep a competitive democracy open without playing musical cabinet members with the same crowd of people then you're not being honest with yourself and you don't know what you're doing. Grow up and do right by your region!

My favorite Sage is Lev. Peter is a scrub. But I like working with Peter because I can trust him to take care of business and not cross lines that would make me uncomfortable even if he really, really wants to. Working with Pete drives me crazy because I will cross lines that make him uncomfortable if I want to even a little bit, and he tries to stop me from doing that. Hello??? I'm a free spirit??? Don't throw off my groove, man!

My biggest regret is that I got lost in a mix somewhere in my game that confused me. I was playing for keeps, playing for big money, and stopped playing with my friends. I only like the game when I'm playing with my friends. I feel like things got away from me for a while and I got too prissy about it, so now it's hard to really even know who my friends are anymore. I'm friendly in passing with everyone I've always been friendly with now, but I don't know what's up these days with some folks. That sucks for me to deal with because I just don't like living in uncertainty. But at least I know I have you, and Pete, and Rigel, Kawaii, Lynxi, Chris... you know, my old home crew. At least I can be sure about that. :) Plus now I've made friends like Emi and Nova and Taki and all these guys who are great too. I just feel like things used to be much simpler and I had much more fun when they were!

Hello. First of all hate you. Second of all Lev is no one's favorite Sage so we can obviously tell that's a lie. Third of all I let you cross my lines all the time, I usually just advise you against it but know you'll probably do it anyway if you're really invested so normally I invest the energy in planning how to deal with the aftermath instead u-u

Ahem anyway, you're the one supposed to be answering stuff so <.<

- What is your least favorite color?
- What is one thing you cannot live without?
- If you had to rebuild Karma nowadays, would you do anything differently?
- Of all the NS people with whom you've lost contact, who is the one that you would like to reconnect with the most?
- And most importantly, what are the measures you have in place to stop a coup? Asking for a friend.

Yellow. I hage yellow.

I cannot live without music. When things get too quite my ears ring.

If I started Karma from scratch rn I would eliminate cutsey culture. That just runs me the wrong way, idk why.

Oh, jeez, Pete, that's a really hard one. I guess maybe Zao. I like Zao. I would say Imki, but I ran into her the other day.

The only thing preventing you from couping is that if you did I would be sad.
