I am Jon. Ask me anything.

No

No, but I've been low on time for the past few days. Haven't been able to post to a ton.

All Dressed chips taste like heaven. Just pure aromatic heaven.

Hi. I have many questions. Your mind is a wonderful haze of intrigue and cotton candy to me. I'll try to take it slow.

1) You and [member="Alna Merrill"] had a huge thing going on. I've heard Alna's side of how you made it happen, but not yours. How do you even go about doing a project so mind-numbingly big, especially with just two people? It seems impossibly daunting to approach.

2) I have severe activity problems. You're one of our most active members. How is it that you keep yourself going at 110% all the time, despite holding down a job, keeping your wife happy, and raising two-or-more children?

3) Over the years, we've both been heavily involved in the creation, maintenance, and development of the Factory/Codex section. I've stopped trying to pretend it doesn't have any impact on how the members think. Do you feel like you've had more of a positive effect on the Factory/Codex meta when working as a staffer or submitting as a member?

I used to write a character who had Rodney McKay from SG Atlantis as a playby. Imagine this guy with perpetual stubble.

1. Well, the whole Mara Corridor project didn't start out that way. It started as random salvage operations and other adventures. Then the idea took root and we ran with it. Alna and I both have a taste for doing things that nobody else has done, not to be the best but to step out into uncharted territory. I think this was something along those lines.

2. I'm definitely not at 110% percent, and haven't been for ages, but Chaos has been useful at some of the busiest times of my life. I used it to burn stress all through grad school and our first pregnancy. Our daughter had some extremely stressful health problems for about the first year, so when I wasn't taking care of her or helping my wife or writing papers or trying to sleep, I used Chaos to get some time to myself. I staged some dumb stunts and annoyed some people and generally stomped around, but it worked.

3. Tough question, but I'll have to go with the second one. I've seen a metric fethton of subs that mine influenced directly or indirectly. A lot of'em kind of exist in a space that my creations and mistakes helped define. First example that comes to mind: when I kicked off Akure (private sector witch alchemy) a few years ago, people raged about how I was ruining Star Wars. Those exact same people promptly got on the alchemy/business bandwagon, for better or for worse.

...oh wait, you said positive effect. Uhh...in that case, staffer. It took me a while to get the knack of it, but I'd like to think I did a decent job of contributing to a culture of impartiality: friends held to standards just as strict or lax as people I didn't know or didn't respect. I never learned to enjoy cutting a friend's overpowered sub down to size, but yeah. If I've got to pick a choice and a reason, that's what I pick.
 
Mind you I'm assimilating this information for later. Your thoughts shall be added to the collective.

4) You mentioned mistakes. Regarding Chaos, which of your mistakes turned out better than expected?

5) I'm pretty sure you're best known for stepping on toes, stirring the pot, rousing the rabble, etc. Do you have any ironclad "don'ts" regarding causing chaos on Chaos?

6) Junker ships. Which one's the best?

Mistake that turned out better than expected, let's see. I'm having trouble thinking of one. Normally my mistakes are kind of catastrophic.

These are my rules:
  • Don't mess with anyone who isn't consistently asking for it.
  • Don't break the one thing they treasure most, especially if they don't have much.
  • Always give them a fair chance to stop, catch, or kill your character at every point along the way. Always be willing to lose that character if they play their cards right. There are very few times when I don't give ample opportunity to stop me, and that's always when the other guy has overstepped hard.
  • Never let your character know anything they don't have a reasonable way to know. Operate on solid IC grounds every time.

How do you choose your favorite sunset? Are eggs Benedict at breakfast better than cheesecake at dinner or water in the desert?
