Staff Bio

Real Name:	Not Telling
Nicknames:	MM984, 984, The Pit Master, The Mailbag Replying King, The Lord of the Lord of the Paper Cuts, That purple and blue freak.
Age:	22
Gender:	Male
Location:	Georgia
Religion:	Christian, Non-Denominational
Political Alignment:	Libertarian with a slight leaning towards Conservative.
Likes:	The Simpsons, The Prisoner TV show, RPGs (duh), watching entertaining movies, writing nonsensical rants for the sake of humor, humor in general, spriting, HTML, honor, occassionally kayaking, fencing, archery, guns, the Mailbag, talking politics and religion with some people, Sinatra, and, uh, soccer.
Dislikes:	Dishonesty and other unhonorable acts, racist humor, narrow-minded people, political correctness, and most kinds of modern music.
Strengths:	When my mind gets set to do something, I generally do it even if others do not. I put maximum effort into all projects I work on. I also tend to be very relaxed and don't get all stressed when something doesn't go as planned.
Weaknesses:	If I don't really have my mind set to do something, it may take a while. I also am sometimes to laid back as I'm sometimes thought of as having no drive to do stuff.
Favorite RPGs:	Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean, Dragon Force, Harvest Moon 64, Shenmue, Shining the Holy Ark, Skies of Arcadia.
Favorite Music:	Classical (and most types of music that get labelled as Classical if they are in fact not truly Classical), Sinatra, and some random modern songs.
Favorite Books:	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series, The Grapes of Wrath, 1984 ( :P ), The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Inferno by Dante, The Giving Tree, some various DragonLance books, and Pratchett books.
Favorite Movies:	Spider-Man, Lawrence of Arabia, Spartacus, Monkey Business, A Night at the Opera, Batman, and Soylent Green in no particular order.
Favorite TV series:	The Simpsons, The Prisoner, Futurama, the old Star Trek, SNL, and Whose Line is it Anyway?
Favorite Food:	Soylent Green. Definitely Soylent Green.
Favorite Type of Weapon:	Guns- I don't care if you think it's cowardly. If someone is going to try and kill me, I'm going to make sure I kill him first.
How'd you join RPGC?	Back in 1999 or 2000 (I can't remember which), I learned of an RPG site called RPGClassics while searching for some sprites. Anyway, the most recent update was for the Mailbag, number 6 to be exact. I read it, laughed, then came back over the next few weeks to read some more Mailbags. Eventually, I decided to write in, and my first Reply was used in Mailbag #12, one of the Battle Royales. Over some time, I kept replying to the Mailbag. I eventually decided I wouldn't mind being Staff, so I created the HM64 Shrine. It got accepted, and here I am today.
Planned/Future Goals:	Law school. Oh so joyous law school.
What's the deal with Energon and Captain Obvious?	Well, Energon was a co-host of the first Battle Royale Reply I sent in, and the character just stuck. As for Captain Obvious, he started off as a joke in the chat, but when I finally got to host a Mailbag, I decided he and Energon would make good sidekicks, so they are.
What's the deal with the purple?	Despite common beliefs that purple is a color reserved only for homosexuals, it has in fact historically been the color of kings, Dionysus, and, in the Roman Catholic and Episcopalian Churches (the latter of which I have been confirmed in), purple is the color of Christ Himself. I'm not using purple to try and say I'm a true king, be like Christ, or even be the patron deity of drunken orgies. I just thought it looked good, so I used it.
What's with all this Pitting stuff?	Pitting people was a little gimmick I came up with for myself in the chat one day. No, I don't use my arm pits. Rather, the Pits are more like dimensional rifts thingies. I would gladly explain it more in depth in the chat or an e-mail if any reader has questions about it.
Anything else?	Yes. Three things. 1. Merlin r teh Dev0l. 2. Don't mess with Texas. 3. The gentleman is solid mahogany; the fashionable man just veneer.
