On Mon Nov  4 02:17:07 2002 I had an interview with the famous
Elvira Supra-genius ArchMage
Below is a literal representation of that conversation.

Shorleck: What is your favorite place within the realms of MS ?
Elvira: If you mean areas which impressed me most I'd say Almoth and
        Eldarian.

Shorleck: What place do you hardly ever go to and why not ?
Elvira: Newbie places which can not be accessed because of high level.
        I hope that will be changed one day. From lord areas I visit
        practically everything but I rarely hunt for power in Almoth
        and Shadowland. Killing there is not effective for me.

Shorleck: From all the quests you did, which one did you enjoy the
          most, what made it special ?

Elvira: Definitely Almoth II: Turning the Tides It has magical
        atmosphere and is neatly coded.

Shorleck: What is your favourite weapon and why ?
Elvira: Erm... Do I have to answer to that? :)

Shorleck: Which monster is your biggest enemy ?
Elvira: They are all dead now.

Shorleck: What goals have you set for yourself here in MS, are you
          here for chatting or you want to play or striving for
          wizhood ?
Elvira: Good question. Right now I'm rahter in goal crisis. I pondered
        wizardhood even, but I still like being mortal and of course 
        my character contains thousands hours of work which is not
        easy to throw away. Besides it's fun to have the power and

        reputation you have at 19+36. I worked hard to get on the top
        and I want to enjoy it for a while. I think I'll stay among
        players at least until the next death. It's always enough time
        to make the fatal decision. Besides... I am not sure if I have
        enough will to be the good wizard. I feel kinda tired and
        don't find that dedication I had over the past years anymore.

Shorleck: Is there anything else you would like to add ?
Elvira: Yes. I wonder why I did this interview. Apparently I was bored
        :)


Here ended our conversation. I wish to thank Elvira
for her cooperation and wish her a lot of happy hunting.
