[CaliGirl]:
What gave you the idea to
start a new female gaming clan?
[Adrastea]:
Well, LQMS had
split up but Peach, Suzi and I weren't ready to call it a day
after so many years and all we'd been through so we decided to
stay together the best way we knew how, in a clan. :)
[CaliGirl]: If a female gamer wanted to join your clan, what type of
initiation would she have to go through?
[Adrastea]:
Recruitment
is by invite only, but if a girl really would like to join our
clan feel free to let the recruiter (Peach) know and hang out with
us in IRC (irc.enterthegame.com #pYm) so we can get to know you.
We are looking for ladies that will better our clan and have a
good sense of fun while gaming. Recruitment last a minimum of
2 weeks but can be longer depending on each person situations. All clan members will have a vote on
all new recruits and new members.
[CaliGirl]
Can you list any all female clans that you know of that still
exist?
[Adrastea]:
That still exist?
Of course QGirlz, really the only one I'm aware of, but I'm not
completely knowledgeable about others. Peach is the best to ask
for that, she knows everyone. :)
[CaliGirl]: While you lived in Illinois you had the chance to know most of
the Rhomicide (rH) clan in person. Is there any memories you'd like to
share about this experience?
[Adrastea]:
Haha, any
fit for public telling you mean? :) Well, they eat a lot, smoke a
lot and drink a lot. I had a great time. The rH guys are the best!
[CaliGirl]: Many clans have a type of ranking system that titles you as
something. In the Xtreme Prejudice (XP) clan, the leaders are
Magistrates, while the clanmates are executioners. Hyperdeath (HYD),
an old school Quake TF clan, the leader was a Grand Tribune and
the entry level was Centurion. Does PyroMaidens plan on making a
ranking system sometime in the future? or does it already have
one?
[Adrastea]:
Currently,
no. We're ladies that like to hang out and play games together and
that suits each of us just fine. :)
[CaliGirl]: You have hung out in the IRC channel with the Xtreme Prejudice
clan for years now. Is there anything that stands out good
or bad about the clan?
[Adrastea]:
Those
guys know how to have fun while keeping most people happy at the
same time. Every XP member (old and current!) I've met have been
honestly fantastic and not a mean bone in their bodies. :) The fun
that is had in their channel and with those people, you just will
not find it anywhere else, hard to pick a single one good thing
and definitely nothing bad. An all-round great clan who play fair
and treat everyone respectfully. Love XP!
[CaliGirl]:
How did you come up with your nick name, adrastea?
[Adrastea]:
I
was really bored one night so I started browsing thru an
encyclopedia and came upon the planets section. There was this
name, as one of
Jupiter's moons (adrastea was Jupiter's step sister). I liked the
name so I used it.

[CaliGirl]: You've lived in USA before. Do you plan on moving back again
someday? If so, which state would you desire to live in?
[Adrastea]:
I honestly loved
it when I lived in Chicago and I would love to go back. As for
moving like before again, I seriously doubt it but who knows what
lies ahead.
[CaliGirl]:
The past few months since I moved to Houston (Texas), I have
learned a lot of new recipes. Is there any Irish/Celtic food you
know how to make besides beer? :Þ
[Adrastea]:
Shepard's pie!
hehe. Just ask rH-Stayne... although maybe he only lied about
liking it to save face. ;)
[CaliGirl]: When you lived in Illinois, were there any types of food
(international places included) that you felt were weird at first
but you gradually got used to them?
[Adrastea]:
No not really.
There was an Italian restaurant I visited and although the
bathroom was a bit....strange, I was only there once. Other than
that, everything was fine!
[CaliGirl]: Was there anything that seemed like a drastic change when you
first came to lived in U.S.A.? Things like the street signs, or
buildings that caught you off guard? or is Ireland a lot like some
areas out in America?
[Adrastea]:
Street signs!
Lol. I could not and still can't get used to your street
signs. Where your street signs on the road going horizontal
indicate the street you turn left or right onto, ours indicate the
one you're currently on. If anyone ever meets me in the USA, never
ask me for directions :)
You Americans drive
everywhere! There was a mall down the street slightly from our
apartment block that numerous people drove to, I could never
understand that. Got a few strange looks walking to the store up
the street or to the restaurant across the road :) Plus you guys
spell everything wrong, it's coloUr!
[CaliGirl]: I was once told by a good buddy of mind, Desmoden, that one
reason why he wanted to move out to Ireland was because there
wouldn't be any snakes. Is this true? Or are there other reptiles
that exist?
[Adrastea]:
Uhh. I try
to keep as far away as possible from anything reptilian, but I do
know the only place you'd find a snake here is in a zoo. I'll be
at the pandas, come find me when you're through looking. :)
[CaliGirl]: Me still being a California Girl at heart, have you ever visited the
state?
[Adrastea]:
Yes! Last April I
spent 8 days in the San Francisco/San Jose area with my better
half and it looked so much like it does in the movies! I'm a pure
tourist. lol. The streets on the hill really freaked me out :)
[CaliGirl]: Have you ever been to any
theme parks in US?
[Adrastea]:
I visited
Disneyworld with my family a good few years ago. Enjoyed it but I
was young and stuck to my parents side so I'd love to go
back... un-chaperoned. ;)

[CaliGirl]: Doom III has been a buzz of the internet since it was first
announced. People know that id Software normally makes some
awesome games. Do you think you'll be able to get into this game
from what you have seen so far while the game has been in
development?
[Adrastea]:
Honestly, I won't
be trying. I never was any good at those bloody FPS games. RPG's
are where you'll find me now.
[CaliGirl]: Your clan seems to focus on Quake related games still. Do you
compete in matches against other clans who challenge you or is it
just for fun at the moment?
[Adrastea]:
Just some
fun, for the moment. Once we recruit further we'll be playing FPS
games more frequently, then competitively.
[CaliGirl]:
With forums like
Quake3world being so crowded with people always talking in it, is there any
forums you visit frequently?
[Adrastea]:
Our own
clan forum. :) Be careful, we come up with the silliest
polls.
The IGN Boards for
DAoC
Developer's Board and
My class
(Cleric) Board are also checked in on a couple of times a
day.

[CaliGirl]: If you had all of this money given to you but you could ONLY
start your own business, what type of company would it be?
[Adrastea]:
I honestly
don't know. I once thought of creating a webpage for selling Irish
goods worldwide (ambitious I know:)) and managing it with the help
of a few close friends who were also interested in the idea.
Unfortunately, I never followed through with it.
