COUNCIL INTERVIEW

This month’s Council Interview is with none other than our very own beloved Flame Lady, Evil_Rowan, courtesy of our very own, Nikki!  Read on, if you dare!

Nikki says:
Hi

Evil Rowan™ says:
hello
Nikki says:
Ok Rowan, would you like to submit a photo?
Nikki says:
For publishing with the interview lol
its optional

Evil Rowan™ says:
just use my usual one
ok let’s get this party started before raven asks any more questions
Nikki says:
lol
age, sex, location?

Evil Rowan™ says:
41 almost 42, Female and Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Evil Rowan™ says:
Excuse the weird answers but Raven is singing in my ear and making the wierdest noises

Nikki says:
lmao tell him to shaddup!

What do you like most in IC?

Evil Rowan™ says:
That’s a no-brainer. The members. Awesome people

Nikki says:
I agree with that

Evil Rowan™ says:
I dont normally like people so that’s saying something
Nikki says:
lol
whats your favorite contest in IC?

Evil Rowan™ says:
I would have to say SOTW because I am GFX challenged and seeing what these guys come up with.
Nikki says:
Yea we have some really good GFX artists
Do you have any hobbies other than DT?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Yes I writing and playing classical piano and heaps of other things but DT has consumed my life lol

Nikki says:
I’v always wanted to master the piano
Who invited you to IC?

Evil Rowan™ says:
I’ve played since I was about six but having said that I also did Ballet

Nikki says:
Oh! wow
Evil Rowan™ says:
Zabeth invited me. She was an awesome member of IC and I have a lot of respect for her.

Nikki says:
Im impressed!

Evil Rowan™ says:
oh dont be

Nikki says:
lol why not?

Evil Rowan™ says:
I wanted to do Highland Dancing but my mother thought I was a clutz and made me do Ballet to become graceful. You can’t make an albatross into a swan I say

Nikki says:
What is this Highland Dancing that you speak of?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Scottish dancing

Nikki says:
Thats what i thought it was
Yanno… its for the people who dont know what it is…
in IC..
Yeeea

Evil Rowan™ says:
but nooooooo had to do ballet which I watching but when the guy that is supposed to catch you , runs away and starts c.rying you know ur not meant to be a ballerina

Nikki says:
Awwwww lol
Ok i’m moving into member questions now

Evil Rowan™ says:
ooh noooooo

Nikki says:
Ohhhh yes!
Red Tiger asks…
How do you keep Raven in line?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Well seeing as that Raven is 6′6″ it is not an easy task. I’ve to outlay a fair amount of money acquiring specific appliances to help me with that.

Nikki says:
lol those things come in handy

Evil Rowan™ says:
yes, yes they do

Nikki says:
Lions or tigers?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Oh that is easy. I just White Tigers or as they are correctly called Panthera tigris.

Nikki says:
I’m learning
What did you do to FP and Don for revealing the secret recipe of Pyro cookies?

Evil Rowan™ says:
The funny thing about that is that they think they have the secret recipe for Pyro cookies. *insert evil cackle here* Poor poor fools
Nikki says:
I wonder what they’ve been feeding us!
Ewww

Evil Rowan™ says:
One thing you learn after being in IC a while is who to take food from and who not to. Those two - you need to run away from when they come bearing gifts lol

Nikki says:
Yes lol
How do you put up with dtph’s questions?

Thats sounded mean typing that
RT thats mean
Evil Rowan™ says:
I have the greatest respect for dtph though I have to admit that most of the time his questions are far too intellectual for me. Hmm what exactly is in that coffee of his? Perhaps I need to be drinking a cup or twa of his special brew.
Nikki says:
Yea i dont understand his questions either
lol
Evil Rowan™ says:
I suck at interviews btw lol
Nikki says:
lol your not bad at interviews
Evil Rowan™ says:
especially when I have Raven whispering stuff into my ear and distracting me.

Nikki said:
lol
Ok RTs last question is…
Who has been the best EC Steward (other than yourself)?

Evil Rowan™ said:
The best EC Steward other than myself?
Nikki said:
Thaaats the question lol
Evil Rowan™ said:
Honestly, I’m not going to single out one person. Every one has their own unique way of doing things and has been great for one reason or another. I loved being EC Steward and was proudly IC’s first half n half. Half EA and Half Pyro before anyone asks lol.

Nikki says:
welcome back
Evil Rowan™ says:
thank you for having me back
Nikki says:
lol your veddy veddy welcome
Ok so we were about to move onto Dtph’s questions
Dtph asks… What is the millionth lexicographic permutation of the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9?

I think you should google that!
Evil Rowan™ says:
no need for google
Nikki says:
Thats incredible lol cuz i think i need it

Evil Rowan™ says:
def permutations :
“”" Return all permutations of a given list. This function
assumes every element of the list is unique. “”"
if len <= 1:
yield li
else:
for el in li:
for p in permutations([e for e in li if not e == el]):
yield [el] + p

but li where the smileys are lol

Usage:

>>>for p in permutations(’abc’):
print p

[’a', ‘b’, ‘c’]
[’a', ‘c’, ‘b’]
[’b', ‘a’, ‘c’]
[’b', ‘c’, ‘a’]
[’c', ‘a’, ‘b’]
[’c', ‘b’, ‘a’]

The most important thing to recognize is that this is a generator, so it produces only as many results as are required. That is, instead of a method that produces every permutation, perhaps accumulating to a list of results, and then displays all results at once, this function produces one result at a time. The huge payoff is that if I want to find the first n permutations of a long sequence, I don’t have to waste time producing all permutations even though I only need the first few. Another bonus: because the list is passed to the function in lexicographic order, permutations are produced in lexicographic order.

Nikki says:
lol ok
Next question from Dtph is…
Will anybody ever manage to answer my questions?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Project Euler blah blah blah

Nikki says:
Was the recipe for the pyro cookies changed after it was made public?

Evil Rowan™ says:
They never used the correct recipe to begin with. The recipe is tattooed on me in a secret code only known to very few

Nikki says:
Next question is from Mamaquis
Or Mama
Evil Rowan™ says:
ok
Nikki says:
which/who’s tears sustain you the most?
and why?

Evil Rowan™ says:
It is the tears of all my minions that sustain me. They nuture me, nourish me. *insert evil cackle here* and also may just be one of the secret ingredients to my cookies

Nikki says:
Lol i hopes not!
Cookies are good
Right??
Evil Rowan™ says:
cookies could be a WMD (weapon of mass destruction) if in the wrong hands

Nikki says:
heh heh heh heh
lol
Nikki says:
Jon has asked you like a bazillion questions
I may be narty and skip a few of the boring ones lol
Here is his first… Who would you vaporise first if you had the chance to?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Now this may get me into trouble
are we talking DT or RL
Nikki says:
lol i guess either

Evil Rowan™ says:
I’ll keep it to DT because I don’t want to offend anyone
I would vaporise one particular alliance that is getting on my nerves and if it was up to me I would vaporise them one by one and laugh as they blow up into a zillion tiny pieces and scatter into the wind.
Nikki says:
Thats how i wana go
lol
Question number 2…
How did you feel when you became Flame Lady?

Evil Rowan™ says:
I was so worried tbh. I thought either everyone would leave or the strong alliances would see this as a chance to declare war on IC. Even though I knew I was to be FL one day it wasnt until I woke up one morning and people were congratulating me and I saw TK snuck up behind me and made me FL without telling me. There is a lot involved but I have to say if I was to ever lead an alliance, Im glad its IC

Nikki says:
Me too
And just because your a female leader doesnt mean other alliances would gang up on IC
Cuz i’d have to open a can of asparagas!

Evil Rowan™ says:
I wasn’t so sure. I have no idea what you mean by the asparagus but I’ll take the empty cans and make one of those home made listening devices and go put it up against the of irritating alliances and see what they have planned.

Nikki says:
lmao i didnt wana say a can of whoop ass

Question 3 from Jon
If one person has 5 apples, and another steals 1001 litres of milk from him, what will the volume of the first person’s tears be?

Evil Rowan™ says:
If I promise to kill you quickly will you ouch who threw that? How did Raven get into this interview. I am being nice ..sheesh. No privacy these days

Nikki says:
He will get hit with a hammer!

Evil Rowan™ says:
seems I need to be training him a little better but i ran out of liver treats
Nikki says:
lol just give him a shoe

Evil Rowan™ says:
Raven says:
*hello to the IC peoples

next

Nikki says:
When did you join IC?

Evil Rowan™ says:
ANZAC Day (April 25th) 2007
It seems like so much longer than that but really just over 2 years

Nikki says:
Sweet
Evil Rowan™ says:
Loved it from day 1

I would wipe a tear if I could Evil Rowan™ says:
Its changed a lot tho
Nikki says:
I imagine!

Evil Rowan™ says:
One of the things I d the most was that there were women in power
Now its getting like that again
Nikki says:
Heck yea! lol not many females, but enough to overthrow the males!

Next Q is
5. What’s the most enjoyable aspect of IC?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Meeting and interacting with people from all walks of life. I have met so many awesome people in IC, its just a shame that they are so far away. Except for Jon he’s about an hour away and Milly too and Daneo all about an hour away. That and I get to be all evil and kill things
Nikki says:
I think thats pretty cool.
I can say i’v talked to someone from Australia
lol
Evil Rowan™ says:
oh I voice chatting on msn or skype or yahoo even lol
Nikki says:
Your accent is neat
Evil Rowan™ says:
i to hear the different accents and stuff

lol I have to say you didnt sound like I thought you would.
Nikki says:
lol really?
I thought i wouldnt be able to understand you at first!
But you speak clearly
Evil Rowan™ says:
yep.. wasnt really sure how you would sound and it was a little hard to hear you amongst all the questions from your kiddies
Yah Im edumacated
Nikki says:
lol

Evil Rowan™ says:
i hate my voice tho
Nikki says:
Theres nothing wrong with your voice! Its very charming

Evil Rowan™ says:
I should have done this on voice and we could have uploaded the voice chat
Nikki says:
Thaaaaat would have saved us soooo much time! lol

heres another one from Jon
Evil Rowan™ says:
eeps
i thought i killed him already
Nikki says:
lol
i told you he has a bazillion questions!
I have just let Fred out on shoe expo day. What do you do?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Hit him with a pair of my size 11 manolos
being careful not to damage them of course

actually i dont have manolos. i do have size11 doc martens tho
so i’d hit him with those.. better squish factor

Nikki says:
What are in your cookies?

Evil Rowan™ says:
what are in my cookies lets see. I can say there really is only one ingredient
hard to find its scientific name is Nunya

Nikki says:
What is admin like?

Evil Rowan™ says:
soooo many coloured bu.ttons. I’m surprised TK has let me around those especially the big red one. OOh it is so tempting but i’ve been warned not to go around pushing peoples bu.ttons so I wont
and I pushing peoples ons
especially the on of one feathered birdie on a wooden horse
Nikki says:
lol im sure TK will plead insanity when you push them

Evil Rowan™ says:
personally I think its stupid that Laz has put the disband alliance b.utton next to any of the other b.uttons
Nikki says:
Yea someone could mess up lol not you but yanno anyone with an alliance

Evil Rowan™ says:
but being red is cool
Nikki says:
Ok can i skip Jons next 9 questions
theres all about math
Evil Rowan™ says:
please do
remind me to vaporise him later
Nikki says:
lol if you want you can answer them in the forum

Evil Rowan™ says:
um nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
im mathematically challenged
Nikki says:
lol
me too
Ok LDGs questions are..
Favorite color?

Evil Rowan™ says:
Yes everyone will rush to tell me its not a color but an amalgamation of all colors combined but it’s BLACK. BLACK IS MAH FAVORITE COLOR. Then purple

Nikki says:
Living or Dead?

Evil Rowan™ says:
hmm
that is a hard one. I would have to say Dead. Nothing screams fun as much as standing at the end of someones bed with a sheet over your head going booooooooogedy boooooooooooooogedy!

Nikki says:
Favorite Author?

Evil Rowan™ says:
James Joyce

Nikki says:
Favorite Movie Genre?
