#Zyg: Interview when
@Gimm1ck: I can do now
#Zyg: ok, so first up, what brought you to PS and what made you stay?
@Gimm1ck: I enjoyed Pokémon as a child and stumbled across PS somehow - only really got involved mainly in The Cafe (when it was Cafe Le Wow) and stuck around there for a good year or so. Eventually I branched out to other rooms. What keeps me staying is mainly the users - it’s a fun place to hang out and chill, play some games in game rooms, and such.
#Zyg: ah, cool. what brought you to the gaming rooms, and why mafia/bd/survivor?
@Gimm1ck: I actually dabbled in forums mafia a bit before and decided to get enough water & hop in the Mafia room itself. I got into surv as a pastime for long mafia nights and loved the chill community there. I went to battle dome to meme with zol and other mafia users and it was fun so there I was. Of course I went into the other game rooms to see how it was, just didn’t stick with me for any others
#Zyg: So, you became staff at the end of May last year before resigning shortly after, what made you want to come back?
@Gimm1ck: The community
#Zyg: you were typing?
@Gimm1ck: I was typing ‘except OM’ but I guess I’ll keep that :)
#Zyg: i'll add it in. So, you're heavily involved in the community side of the room, how does it compare to battle dome & mafia?
@Gimm1ck: It’s quite similar to battle dome actually. Both are mad chill and enjoy memeing. As for mafia: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3KquFZYi6L0
#Zyg: lmao, I see mafia still hasn't changed
@Gimm1ck: (Mainly joking - it’s act gotten a lot better recently) Especially since late 2k18, it’s chilled out a bunch
#Zyg: away from the gaming rooms, you're room owner in the cafe - what dishes do you specialise in?
@Gimm1ck: I’m russian, and I grew up making a lot of Russian food - I really like Pelmeni (Pork/beef dumplings eaten with pepper and vinegar), golubtsi (ground meat stuffed in cabbage leaves eaten with tomato sauce) and selodka pod shuba (layers of smoked, pickled herring, carrot, onion, potato, sometimes eggs, and topped with beets)
#Zyg: you're on death row, what's your final meal gonna be?
@Gimm1ck: Okay don’t judge but I’ve thought about this already
-Plate of pelmeni
-Medium rare rib-eye
-Toasted ciabatta sandwich with Kobe beef, Swiss cheddar, arugula, horseradish mayo dressing
-A platter containing one piece of sushi that is nearly known to mankind (I’m talking literally anything that has been put on sushi will be on there)
-Bowl of Pho
-Russian chestnut cake
-A cherry pie
-Konfeti Zolotaya Niva (russian candy)
-Several cups of Vzvar (dried fruit kompot), Mors (cranberry drink), Tarkhun (russian soda), homemade kvass, Pineapple juice, a single Bloody Mary, and like 2 bottles of Reyka vodka
-various, fresh, whole cherries (which I will swallow the seeds, for the tradition of having a cherry tree grow out of my body).
@Gimm1ck: I love cherries
#Zyg: going to heaven (or hell) a full man then - so, moving away from PS, tell us a little about yourself
@Gimm1ck: Absolutely
#Zyg: So, what are you studying at college? And what made you pick that pathway?
@Gimm1ck: I'd rather keep that info redacted, but what I will say is that I am planning on either moving to Russia and get a job there (possibly teaching English) or maybe teach Russian in the US; still kind of planning my life atm
#Zyg: yeah no worries. teaching is a good pathway to head down. tell us about your hobbies
@Gimm1ck: I enjoy cooking, reminds me of my family; I used to do a lot of origami and drawing so that's that. Don't have much time at all these days so videogames and hanging around on PS count as my main hobbies as of now.
#Zyg: ah, you're stuck on an island for a month - who'd you rather have for company: Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin?
@Gimm1ck: Putin
#Zyg: Would you rather fight a horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?
@Gimm1ck: 100 duck sized horses honestly. ducks are mean
#Zyg: now for some generic user questions - what are your top 3 favourite and top 3 least favourite survivor themes?
@Gimm1ck: Favorite would be Russian Roulette, Poles, and Risk. Least favorite is Jenga, Tower defense, and long ttp
#Zyg: I'd have thought Risk would have been one of your least faves considering everyone tries to overthrow your country. Long TTP too, greathero turning in his grave as we speak! You had to share a flat with 3 survivor auth, who you picking and why?
@Gimm1ck: current or former? or both
#Zyg: both if you'd like
@Gimm1ck: I would pick Shade for being chill, uh inac for the memes, and Para for a drinking buddy.... no offense zyg you're chill too but shade is literally shade
#Zyg: no worries! to copy snap as I have no clue how to interview - what advice would you give to new users of survivor and a bonus q, what one piece of advice would you give to people about life?
@Gimm1ck: I would say just enjoy the community and have fun. for life information, focus on what you want to do, but don't be afraid of trying new things - like vodka
#Zyg: do you have your vodka neat or with a mixer?
@Gimm1ck: I am a slav, zyg. Vodka should only be drank straight, and with a bite of zakusk afterwards
#Zyg: anyway, to wrap things up, is there anything you wish I'd have asked you or anything you'd like to add?
@Gimm1ck: cute pic of my former cat is needed
#Zyg: sure
@Gimm1ck: other than that, have a nice day @anyone reading this
