[spoiler=Intro * READ FIRST*]Yep where back, there will be many changes.This time there will be mini-games
in this thread to keep everyone occupied and to keep whis active.Also i will choose people at random
to be interviewed this time so dont ask.

Thats it for now , enjoy the interviews and games. [/spoiler]

[spoiler=Interviews][spoiler=Clair]What was YCM like when you first joined?

[b]Well, the site had the MyBB format (which I still personally like more), but it crashed everyday on a daily basis, which made some YCMembers wet themselves with angst. Still, YCM was a more active community back then. There were more veterans around, and not as many newbies. I think the crash and change scared a lot of people off.[/b]

What did other members think of you when you first joined?

[b]"You're the best newbie ever."
OR
"You're hella overrated."[/b]

Whats made you stay on YCM for over a year?

[b]Silly Striker, I haven't been here for a year. Proofreading is power.

The friends that I've made here have kept me coming back to YCM though. It's like a crack addiction, I swear.[/b]

Where did you get the idea for you name?

[b]Well, I love the game Okami, so my first choice was going to be "Amaterasu". However, someone had taken it already, because they obviously had awesome taste. So, I focused on my love for Pokemon, and eventually my thoughts turned to Gym Leaders. Clair is the coolest, so there you have it.[/b]

How much time do you spend on YCM every day/week?

[b]too much time, man[/b]

How was your first day in YCM?

[b]Well, I posted in the Newb Defense League first, by someone's recommendation. Then I played around with the card maker and joined other clubs for about an hour. I remember joining Club Pichu. Fun place. xD[/b]

Who was your first friend here?

[b]Sweet Lightning brought me here, but my first friend that I didn't know irl was Saint Dane. ^^

He welcomed me to the NDL, gave me my first rep, and even was the first one to welcome me in my introduction thread. What a guy. ;D[/b]

Did you like any members that have been banned so far?

[b]~Soul (Smeargle) was awesome. He was one of my first buddies in the Clubs section.

I don't even know if he's unbanned now, but I miss him. ><[/b]

I know Sweet Lightning brought you here. How did he convince you?

[b]"Hey, Jaelin."

"Yeah?"

"You should join this site. It's fun."

"Okay."[/b]

What advice would you give to a new member of YCM?

[b]Don't spam, please read the rules, and use proper grammar. Then again, this is YCM.

And of course...[/b]

If you could meet 5 members of YCM in real life who would you pick and why?

[b]Zeonark, Dark, Fenix, Nox Arcana, and .Tsubaki.[/b]

Whats your happiest day in YCM so far?

[b]The day after I posted my introduction thread. That thing got so many replies. I felt proud of myself.[/b]

Was it a special day, special moment?

[b]Not really. In hindsight, I was sitting at my computer, watching my YCM addiction begin.

At the time it was good fun. ^^[/b]

Do you see yourself as a respected member of YCM if so why?

[b]Yes.
...
I don't know, really. I follow the topic, I sometimes act a bit eccentric, and I'm not afraid to state my opinion?

Yeah, I really don't know.[/b]

Do you think YCMaker should add anything to the card maker and If so what?

[b]He should add a thing that makes everything about a card better.

Broad, but not impossible.[/b]

I know that you started out in C/O. What made you go to RC?

[b]Well, I got bored, tbh.

This is Yugioh Card Maker. And the Card Maker is why I joined. I decided that I would try it out again and see what RC had to say.[/b]

Do you think you made the right choice by going to RC?

[b]People seem to like the cards that I've made, so yes. ;D

However, the sub-forum didn't have many good reviewers when I first came back. I think it's getting better now.[/b]

Have you done anything in YCM to improve the site and if so what?

[b][s]I've graced YCM with my presence.[/s]

Nah, I can't really say that I've done anything major for the well-being of this site.[/b]

What would you be doing if you where not a member of YCM?
[b]
TYPO.

I would try to take over the world... I would give the 110 percents... I would work the overtime... I would be the team player... I would put in the hours... I would get the hands dirty...[/b]

What suprises you most about YCM?
[b]
TYPO.

Why is this site so addicting? I was surprised at how hooked I was after my first month. ><[/b]

If you were a Mod, what would you do in the first day?

[b]ACCESS THE SECRET FORUM.

Then I would do nothing.[/b]

Who is the best mod on YCM in your opinion?

[b]I feel that Marble zone has done a fine job locking unnecessary topics in General.[/b]

Where do you see yourself in a years time on YCM?

[b]Gone.

I probably won't be, though. Just wait. D':[/b]

Who if anyone would you choose to be the next mod?

[b]SaTuRnPaLaDiN, .Tsubaki, or Death Metal.[/b]

What would be the first thing you would do if you had YCMakers account for a day?

[b][s]Shut down the card maker for massive lulz.[/s]

I would post in a topic and watch as everybody would immediately fawn over me.[/b]

Whats more important Posts or reps and why?

[b]Reps have always been more important to me, but I'll admit, I don't like them as much now. People don't have to give a reason anymore. That made reps more special to me.

At least you know that someone appreciates your post. That's more important to me than just post count in general.[/b]

Flame Dragon or Phantom Roxas and why?

[b]Flame Dragon. I think we share more interests.[/b]

JoshIcy or Rinne and why?

[b]JoshIcy. I've never even talked with Rinne. D:[/b]

Why did you bother with this interview?

[quote=95% of YCM status updates]
95% of YCM Status Updates: i'm bored.

[spoiler=The Lottery]
Its 20 points for 1 ticket , you may buy as many as you want.

You then pick numbers between 1-40 you want on the ticket , e.g i would say 1 ticket please numbers are 1,2,3,4,5

Then i use the random number generator to pick 5 number , the person who has the most numbers picked would get the jackpot.

The current jackpot : 50

Current people who have tickets: Nobody

NOTE : THE NEXT LOTTERY WILL BE DRAWN ON SUNDAY 25TH OCTOBER[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Notes&Stuff]I have permission from a mod to add games to this thread.

If the lottery jackpot is under 100 points the lottery will not take place.

All points made from tickets will go into the jackpot.

If the lottery takes over from the interviews this will be locked.

We've been through, what, at least six or seven interview threads? Here's the general consensus: [b]they all failed[/b].

If you'd still like to continue with this even after reading and understanding that statement, I suggest you, and let me make it very clear:

[i]Make your interviews more interesting. Don't give every single interviewee the same questions over and over, especially if they are bland like, "Who was your first friend on YCM?" or "What is your favorite section?" Spice up the questions or no one is going to give a damn, because you could easily PM that person and ask them [b]the same questions[/b].[/i]

Well I'd suggest to make them more member-focussed. Do a research and ask different questions according to what they've done so far. A member who's active in Showcase could get a lot of artsy questions, or someone who's run successful clubs should get club questions. Anything you'd like to ask people but never dared to do.=D

Oh wait this reminds me of the club interviews.>_> I totally forgot but it's going to be next Christmas then.
