ELEPHANT MUD PEOPLE


Interview with who? - Cordelia Ka'Dracor part 3

What do you think makes Ele such a good place to be?
The undivided commitment and devotion the place inspires in people. The newbie guide system, the council and justice system with crime investigation. The fact that around every corner is a trinket of depth that you were not expecting. The depth and quality of the writing and atmosphere. Just very occasionally someone finds these nuggets and thinks 'wow, that's so cool.' It's glorious. 

Why do you spend your spare time working for Ele?
Because it matters. Pure and simple really. I think therapists would balk at
that and immediately cart me off to go cold turkey, but if I have my way even my retirement home will have a net connection for my laptop and the residents will be networked up emailing their grandkids. 

Having said all that. I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that it all comes easy. That myself and anyone else doing this sort of 'hobby' don't feel traumatised, hurt, angry and some nights outraged by the on goings on. The tough bit is leaving players alone to their world and their rules and then having to watch some of them systematically destroy each other. It can be a bit wearing sometimes. However - I guess the day I don't care, is the day I know it's all over. 

If you had to think up a tagline for Ele, what would it be?
Tough one. Be the other you. I think. Or Larnen's favourite: Trumpet!

What, in your opinion, was the worst moment in Ele's history?
Oooh this is a tricky one. Worst moment. Let's see. You know, there have been some rough times for Ele, but I'd never change them. Ele is tough and stable and rounded and experienced because of the trials it has experienced in its lifetime so far. 

Describe the Elephant Mud players.
Feisty, vocal, eccentric, fun, friendly, determined, supportive, whining,
adorable, and quite quite mad, the lot of them. 

Where do you see Ele in another 7 years and will you still be part of it then?
Try and stop me. I'll have a child on my knee learning to type with Mom, I
suspect. 

What do you say to people who say mudding is antisocial?
There are real people out there? Ha. No, I'd say.. 'Everyone gets to choose their own obsessions in this world.' I personally believe that the benefits of mingling with a multi-cultural base of people, talking and experiencing and sharing is much more mind-broadening than being in a cattle market bar, wondering if your clothing fits in with your crowd. Hey, it ups your typing speed, for one.

And with that, I thanked Cordelia for her time and honesty and rushed off to bring this interview to your eyes.
