There is currently a tie between skyironsword and UTAlan. I would ask you vote in the tie breaker poll for the next FCM

Thank you!

How did you find the EtG community
YoungSot was a real life friend (he grew up as friends with my wife) that introduced me to the game. I found the forums and joined, as I've been part of forum communities in the past and thought I'd give it a try.

What keeps you coming back to the EtG community? (Lunaris)
The people. I stopped playing the game a long time ago (I'll spin and throw an arena deck up on occasion, but that's about it), but the community is amazing. Whether it's chat or forum games or Minecraft or whatever, it's all more fun because of the awesome people.

For how long are you going to stay in our lovely community (I hope for a long time )? (ARTHANASIOS)
I have no intentions of leaving. Obviously I don't know what the future holds, but I hope to stick around for a long time!

Dumbest thing you ever said? (Anonymous)
I once heard what I thought was someone tripping over their words from across the room. I loudly made fun of them (20 people or so in the room), only to find out it was someone with an actual stutter. I felt like a horrible human being. (Unfortunately I didn't know the person and didn't go and apologize right away, so I never ended up getting to tell them I was sorry.)

Out of everyone who has ever been on the forums, who would you most want to meet IRL and why? (Lunaris)
Sheesh, tough one. I don't think I can pick who I want to meet most, but I can say it would be pretty awesome to meet antiaverage. We've gotten to work together a lot lately on improving chat and seem to have a lot of similar interests. It'd be awesome to have a beer together some time.

Favorite hobby? (Anonymous)
If programming doesn't count (since I do that for a living), it'd have to be Ultimate Frisbee. Also, if I had to guess I would say that Anonymous is this case is Joey...

If you were Zanzarino, how would you've changed the game to attract more players? (ARTHANASIOS)
Continue development? That's the easiest answer, though in what particular ways is tough. It'd be cool to integrate community cards as that buys some investment from the community and motivates people to continue playing/getting involved. Also, making : stronger would be a top priority

How did you find the community/game, and how did you become an admin? (Lunaris)
Answered the first half already. And I don't recall the details as it's been a long time and I have a terrible memory (Higs would probably be able to answer this better), but I recall it having to do with my tech knowledge/access, hosting the forums and all that when SG disappeared.

What does your name mean? (ARTHANASIOS)
This one is easy I got my bachelor's degree from the University of Texas (UT), and my name is Alan. And on that note, the correct pronunciation of UTA is U-T-A, not Utah, but don't tell Discord that

Any last words for the interview?
My faith is very important to me. I don't always know all the answers to people's questions about Christianity, but I love having my beliefs challenged because I believe that truth will stand up to any amount of scrutiny. Don't ever be afraid to approach me with questions or challenges about my beliefs!

For this upcoming month, the newsletter would like to announce that our interviewee will be...wait, hold on a minute.

We will be accepting nominations for a few days (you have been late to this post), then having open polls for a few more, intending to leave approximately a week for questions and a week for the interviewee to respond.

Don't delay, nominate today!

Please remove me from contention. Although I've been looking forward to this, I'd prefer to have my nominee featured instead.

First post needs to be updated.

I apologize for the short time span. Had I known there was only 28 days in February before hand this would have been a lot quicker.

Who do you hate most? (1011686)

Anyone who is unnecessarily pedantic. Do not waste my time in such an irritating fashion.

Best boy? Best girl? Best rob? (Anonymous)

1. Dm 2. Sera 3. There aren't any good ones

Do you relate more to the Joker from the Dark Knight or Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean? Why? (UTAlan)

I haven't seen either. Besides, I have very little in common with most fictional characters. Most of them are more irritating than relatable.

What do you do in your spare time? (Anonymous)

Due to my extremely fickle nature, I do not consistently do the same thing with my leisure time. Common events include watching videos online, playing games of wildly varying quality, and flirting with women to see if they reciprocate.

What is your favourite card game? (Fippe94)

Fragments. Bias notwithstanding, almost any properly built deck can be viable.

Cat, dog, or bird? (Anonymous)

Birds. Sparrows, in particular. Just common house sparrows.

Cake, noodles, or doughnuts? (Anonymous)

Cake. Strawberry shortcake, in particular. My own recipe.
