Face the Board: Buccaneer

Barkeep49 · 12-28-2006, 08:26 AM

This week's participant is that old pirate Buccaneer. Questions will run through Saturday. In a new tradition the last participant, VPI, also gets the honor of asking the first question:

What is your favorite version of Civilization? Why is this version your favorite?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 09:10 AM

Since I recently learned about your passion for photography, I want to know what is the best way to take night shots without a lot of setup time?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 09:12 AM

What made you move from California to Colorado?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 09:13 AM

What events in your life caused your to steer your political affiliation as a libertarian?

Raiders Army · 12-28-2006, 09:20 AM

Is your love of text-sims a result of growing up sitting around the radio trying to imagine what's going on?

stevew · 12-28-2006, 09:22 AM

What was it like growing up during the great depression?

Swaggs · 12-28-2006, 09:29 AM

Will you ever play in another OOTP online league?

Toddzilla · 12-28-2006, 09:31 AM

Does Antmeister's apparent man-crush on you make you uneasy?

LOL....bastard. I made all my joke questions in the Quiksand thread. Should have asked a more serious one since he answered everything in good detail. So I learned my lesson since I find these FTBs a good read. So leave my man-crush alone.

Hey now!

Bucc, what advice you can give a novice photographer on how to take better pictures (besides the very obvious "keep taking pictures" advice).

JPhillips · 12-28-2006, 10:31 AM

What do you see as the turning point in the Civil War?

Seriously, I recall a really interesting post a few years ago from Bucc regarding interest in text sims stemming from tracing leagues--not from a statistical or league performance standpoint, but rather from following the leagues organizationally. Care to talk a little about what drew you in to text simming and what you look for from games?

John Galt · 12-28-2006, 11:00 AM

Have you ever stormed out of your front door to tell neighborhood kids to get off your lawn?

Eaglesfan27 · 12-28-2006, 11:57 AM

How did you discover the Gothic series?

How has fatherhood changed you?

As follow-on to DC's question, what camera(s) do you use on a regular basis?

Dutch · 12-28-2006, 12:12 PM

When did you first play FOF? What drew you to text-based football and did you have a fondness for simulating football before FOF?

(Hell, this should almost be a standard question that all FTB members must answer.

)

Buccaneer · 12-28-2006, 01:31 PM

Unbelievable questions so far. Someone better ask a few smart-ass questions or else HA will get annoyed.

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 02:01 PM

Okay, how do you really feel about Michael Vick?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 02:02 PM

How did you feel when the washing machine was invented?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 02:03 PM

When the television was invented in your 20's, what was the first show that you watched?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 02:03 PM

What did you name your first mode of transportation (which was a horse at the time)?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 02:05 PM

Where were you working at when the AFL and NFL merged?

Pumpy Tudors · 12-28-2006, 02:10 PM

On that long-ass boat ride, did Christopher Columbus keep his spirits up, or did he ever lash out at you?

Pumpy Tudors · 12-28-2006, 02:11 PM

What were you doing when man first landed on the earth?

Pumpy Tudors · 12-28-2006, 02:15 PM

Were you ever a creative consultant for "The Flintstones"?

st.cronin · 12-28-2006, 02:20 PM

When I was in the service, my First Sergeant told me "Son, I have socks that are older than you." My question is, do you have socks that are older than me? (I'm 34.)

oh no you didn't

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 02:29 PM

When Sylvester Stallone was born, why did his parents choose you as the godfather?

stevew · 12-28-2006, 02:35 PM

what better Firefox or Battlestar Galacta?

Pumpy Tudors · 12-28-2006, 02:37 PM

This had been going so well, and then the wheels came off.

k0ruptr · 12-28-2006, 02:37 PM

What was it like filming Gone with the Wind?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 02:38 PM

What was the color of the zoot suit that you wore to the prom?

terpkristin · 12-28-2006, 02:39 PM

Just how old ARE you that everybody's making fun of how old you are?

No, seriously.

/tk

Poli · 12-28-2006, 02:41 PM

Why did you choose the name, Buccaneer?

SFL Cat · 12-28-2006, 02:41 PM

Have you had your mid-life crisis yet? If so, did you wind up with a trophy wife, a sports car, or a new version of your favorite text sim?

You find yourself stranded on a deserted island. Upon exploring the island you find a working computer that is only capable of playing an advanced copy of Sid Meier's Pirates! 3 and Emma Watson. Do you disassemble the computer in hopes of building a device that will help you and Emma get rescued, or do you live the rest of your life a happy man?

stevew · 12-28-2006, 03:04 PM

Why did you choose to reject King George I's offer of amnesty and continue with your pirate lifestyle?

Bearcat729 · 12-28-2006, 03:11 PM

Which city's pro team is doing more to damage the image of the pirate, Pittsburgh, Oakland or Tampa Bay?

MIJB#19 · 12-28-2006, 03:15 PM

Q1: How much pain was it to see the football franchise by your design win the league championship, yet not being the GM of that team?

Q2: Norm Rizzo or Nicky Lincoln?

albionmoonlight · 12-28-2006, 03:31 PM

You strike me as a bit of an independent spirit. How does fatherhood/family life fit into that?

albionmoonlight · 12-28-2006, 03:39 PM

You are an observant and thoughtful Christian and a libertarian. In the current political climate, some would think of that as a contradiction (though I do not). Do you have any problems resolving those aspects of your personality?

What's your favorite meal? Books? Movies/TV Shows?

Will there ever be another "golden age" of baseball (or any other professional sport), or is that just impossible in the ESPN era of overanalysis, hype, and sizzle over steak?

DaddyTorgo · 12-28-2006, 03:42 PM

who is your favorite historical buccaneer and why?

st.cronin · 12-28-2006, 03:52 PM

Tom Brady - the greatest football player of all time, or merely an inner-circle hall of famer?

This one's my favorite so far. I gotta remember this one. Usually when I meet someone old in the Army, I ask them, "Was it a lot harder when you first joined the Army?"
They usually reply, "Yeah."
"I mean, I would've guessed that since you guys had to stand in a straight line and pour the gunpowder down the muzzleloader."

I also ask them if it's hard adjusting to parking a HMMWV after having to take care of their horses for so long.

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 04:44 PM

Were you pissed off at Mel Gibson's portrayal of William Wallace since you were in combat with him back in the day?

Raiders Army · 12-28-2006, 04:46 PM

Which commandment did you most despise when Moses came down?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 04:52 PM

Do you remember why the Mayan civilization vanished since you had a summer home in their village? And why did you stop working on the Mayan calendar?

Antmeister · 12-28-2006, 04:56 PM

Since you were responsible for some of the hieroglyphics, was that just grafitti, simple doodles or is that some language you wanted to make up, like some sort of picture pig-latin?
