Pew Chat Die is a talk show style interview done by me TheLaZyDj. This shows guest is the famous nationalist and long time veteran Estrian Prosis.

Watch the Promo on YouTube

Quick side note about the promo, in it is a quick unboxing of the retail package of Vendetta Online that was released in 2004, as well as Vendetta OnAir's first giveaway announcement. But surprisingly little blooper material... maybe next time.

This thread is for questions you would like me to ask Estrian Prosis during our interview.

I will of course screen questions before asking the guest as well as they can choose not to answer a question if they so desire. It's a interview, not interrogation.

At some point during the interview we will fight, hence the name pew chat die.

Thank you for your support and leave your questions down below,

Question:

What hardware and network specs are necessary to maintain a consistent 50m-from-ship origination point for your blasters, despite supposedly using internet connections from different locations/countries? I'm very curious!

Okay, time to play 20+ questions.

Questions:

1. What was your involvement with the foundation of ORE. Why aren't you a member still?

2. What was your involvement with the foundation of EMS. Why aren't you a member still?

3. Why did you leave TGFT when they helped you so much to build a Trident? What was your real role in the popularity demise of TGFT?

4. Why did you leave Itan when you've been bum buddies with them for centuries?

5. Where do you see yourself in 10 Vendetta Years?

6. Where do you rank yourself overall in the all-time rankings of pilots?

7. How many snow bunnies are there in Canada... really? Can we get pics or it didn't happen?

8. Who, in your view, is the greatest political leader in VO, and why?

9. What is your most memorable station battle or furball?

10. Since you clearly didn't make NavComp, which plugins did you actually make. Can we have them?

11. We know the combat meta has serious issues at the moment, as a pilot of many years experience with consistent involvement in the combat, how would you fix the current combat meta, what needs to change for the combat aspect of the game to be the best it can be?

12. What is it like to fight alongside the great pilots of Itan such as ARF, Harpo and sneeky.

13. What is the most important feature for VO to have, is it dynamic economy, station building, more involved combat missions or something else? We know Incarnate can't build them all at once, so which would you prioritize in his shoes?

14. What is needed to revive organised Itani Nationalism, can it be saved at all?

15. How would you build a neutral trading guild, is there such thing as neutrality or is the popularity of the UIT as a nation a strange anomaly?

16. If you had to design a new small port weapon on the spot right now, what would it be and how would it work?

17. Without being boring and making a large port weapon of the same type as the small port one you just designed, if you had to design a new large port weapon on the spot right now, what would it be and how would it work?

18. This is the first time that Lazy has actually interviewed someone with actual history, can you please explain your understanding of the history of the Itani nationalist guilds as they are today and if you're feeling fancy, contrast this to the Serco guilds as you remember them. Which side did you find more interesting and why?

19. Bojan recently spoke of Dr. Lecter's famous asshattery in the old incarnation of border patrol. Can you tell us about this asshattery? What other famous asshats have there been in Vendetta? Who is your favourite asshat and why?

20. What is the story behind the foundation of SKV?

21. Which is your favourite drawing from the MS Paint War thread?

22. Who was your favourite pirate, why?

23. Who was the first person to blow you up, can you remember? If not, who was the first player to pirate you?

Good list of questions TRS but I would strike down 19. and 20.

AD-19/ I don't remember EP being very active at the time of good doctors BP asshattery days, I might be wrong though, up to him to decide if he is qualified to answer that question.

AD-20/ Real SKV foundation is known only to a small group of players - it's a long and complex story - and I don't think EP has enough knowledge of it to competently answers that question.

Also I'm fairly sure it pre-dates me by several months.

Anything pre-2005 I'll have limited knowledge about.

i thought skv came into being cause Itan and ONE used to be best pals back in the day and real itani got annoyed with it
Jan 18, 2016 bojansplash link
Lol CS you old goat, you know very well there were no ONE and Itan back in the day.
Jan 18, 2016 CrazySpence link
Sure there was thats why i never liked Itan until Waffles fixed it

There are a lot of good questions above, many of which touch on things I was going to propose. So I'll jut limit mine to these:

1. Tell us about that one time.

2. What is the fascination with kitties?

3. Have you ever considered opening a shed-n-breakfast?

It's important not to step on other stories too much if the person wasn't involved but they still might have a unique take on the events. We are having to educate our interviewer so it I dont see the harm in having EP mention events he is aware of and having them elaborated on later by the players who were in the center of it.

This series is an opportunity to build a documentary about the vast history of the VO universe so I think it's as important as ever to dredge up as much as possible. That will entail finding the right people and asking them the right questions.

I look forward to this interview.
