As part of her Triat Mastery Quest, Katrana was required to speak to several immortals about their thoughts on Immortality. Below is the transcript of those conversations.
Tiax:
Tiax: you wanna ask those questions?
Katrana: Yea I do. First of all how do you like being an FLI?
Tiax: In what detail should I answer that question?
Katrana: as much as you like. Not anything illegal tho.
Tiax: illegal? Sheesh. Boring...
Katrana: hehe
Tiax: no no that's not my answer I like being an fli...
Katrana: cool
Tiax: It gives me more ways to be there for others. How do you say, entertain them in some kind and help them in another way
Katrana: nodnod
Tiax: which is why I do both..
Katrana: cool
Tiax: or try. hehe
Katrana: my next question is what is the hardest or most frustrating part
Tiax: For me or in general?
Katrana: both
Tiax: hehe I don't know how to say this but I'll try anyway
Katrana: Please try
Tiax: I think the hardest part is to keep it fun for yourself while keep it fun for as many people as possible
Katrana: nods
Tiax: and rather getting complaints then rewards - which is why you have to keep your head straight of what is your goal
Katrana: nodnod
Tiax: but then again, I'm hardly a fli... so I might have different issues later
Katrana: You are newer, doesn't make you less of one
Tiax: makes me less experienced - though I hoped you would come to me, when I saw your tmq
Katrana: everyone has to start somewhere, plus half of the wizlist is new. I did come to you, YAY
Tiax: half of the wizlist is half of the playerbase hehe. That's a tough part as well *snicker*. Oh and your laptop not doing its work properly or rather disfunctioning. That's tough too
Katrana: that would stink, hehe
Tiax: and zmud not working properly etc
Katrana: that sucks. I had problems with mapper *laugh*. zmud has been nice besides that, hehe.
Katrana: hmm my next question. I've forgotten all of them. *laugh*. What is one trait all FLI no matter alignment should have
Tiax: I got them on email but it's on the laptop. Hehe. They should be lawful to tfc's rules in actions and spirits
Katrana: nodnod
Tiax: at least that's what I think. Ok whenever you are ready for the next question
Katrana: let me think. If you had one piece of advice to give to someone seeking to be an immortal what would it be
Tiax: one piece? Gasp. Ehm.. I don't know the word for it. Be persistant..stubborn...patient. To have ideals of what a god is, isn't enough. Once you decide you wanna do it, go for it
Katrana: nods
Tiax: But maybe that's not an advice… but it surely helps to shorten the way to immortality. Every rank you get while being immortal gives you more responsibilities and thus more control and rewards
Katrana: nods
Tiax: As ambassador that's minimal so you have to be pretty determined
Katrana: is there anything you think that I should know? Hehe
Tiax: yay! No you know all hehe
Katrana: I know all I see all! hehe
Tiax: I think you had a pretty good example....*grin* Although everyone does it differently. I don't know what you should know..
Katrana: *laugh*
Tiax: Everyone does it their ways and it's prolly best. Like I said, I'm the lawful obedient immortal. I try to do exactly what I think an imm should do
Katrana: Alrighty
Tiax: I thought you had more questions in that email. I have to look it up tomorrow. *grin*
Katrana: yea. Heh. I had more questions than that. I can't remember them all. Hehe. *poke self*
Tiax: *roll*
Katrana: *laugh*
