1. When you first applied to join the CF team, what was it you wanted to bring to the game? How have your continuing contributions and goals changed since those early days?

I just wanted an opportunity to contribute creatively to a game I enjoyed. I always enjoyed being gamemaster in pen and paper RPGS, so applying to imm seemed like a logical extention of play for me.

2. If you were to chart yourself as an Achiever, Explorer, Killer, or Socializer (from the Bartle test or derivative) where do you fall? Have you perceived a change over time?

Now: Socializer, Explorer, Killer, Achiever

When I started: Socializer, Explorer, Achiever, Killer

My interest in achievement have dropped, while my interest in killing has increased. Being part of the MUD so long has made measureable achievement less desirable to me, while years of maturing/mellowing has made my PK failures less bothersome. Because my failures are less bothersome, I'm more willing to engage in it, and am also slightly better at it. I would also say my interest in Exploration has increased from when I started.. when I started.. the whole mud was confusing and daunting and I just wanted a character with 'gate' so I wouldn't have to bother. Once I learned the ropes, exploration became more desirable.
