What. The. Fuck.


Anyways... When did you adopt the whole elf persona thing? Noticed you have a good amount of drawings of him on your DeviantArt.

I began making sketches of him around 10 years old, at least that's as far as I remember. The name I explained in an older topic, it was inspired by a mix of street fighter Ryu and FF10 antagonist "Sin"

As to why? I love nature and Elves always seem to live in peace with it.

Not enough, in fact; I'm working on my biggest one yet!

Reason why? Well, it's an amusing hobby for a lonely guy like me.

Zin, how did you become a mod? Like what key event lead to it? (I.E. afly blew up the Ultraluxe, he got mod)

Also, how many diamonds do you have? :D

That is not how it happened. .-. I didn't get promoted for a good two months after that detonation, and I had help from almost half of those on staff at the time.

1) Diamonds? I guess the only legit diamonds I have are from my Cuboid money which is not much because I spend or loose most of it. There's legit richer players out there than any mod... xept Mydrox, he's just insanely rich.

2) Becoming mod wasn't my intentions when I first joined. I was more focused towards being with my friends and actually avoiding the mods because of what they could do. I remember when I was going to join escapecraft my friend from high school told me "DO NOT TOUCH THE DIAMOND BLOCK AT THE START! IT'S A TRAP!" I will NEVER forget how I took that to heart when I first joined, kinda freaked me out a bit as I spawned in the middle of the ocean upon a boat wreckage all alone... trying not to even swim above the diamond block.

Anyways, I went about my business building a forest enviorment (which my friends kinda hated because it was close to their castle and trees = Dark = Monsters) but we got along fine.

The first ever mod I met was I believe was Lion. He popped up while I was breaking some glass blocks I placed and said " Just patroling ". I loved how everyone back then used suits and Lion looked so elegant and was so simple and professional when he appeared.

Next up was Lathania and Haxx who popped up in the middle of my forest holding none other than Lava blocks offering me to purchase "Lava Insurance" and giving me a demonstration. My heart nearly flew out of my chest when I saw those too holding lava, I thought my forest was done for because of the whole "Mods are mischevious people" rumor *cough* cough*

Next up was Blackadder, holy cow. If ever I wanted to be a mod is because of this guy right here. His passion for the players, the personality, the way he handled the community and joked and ... and... well.. He is awesome! he really opened me up to how good Mods were in Escapecraft and that really inspired me to pursue that dream. He was very helpful and often visited me and helped me out with a project as well as my TNT testing, in fact, it's because of Blackadder I'm so obsessed with TNT cannons I even made him a few and got creative with the designs just to impress him.

Lord_Mountbatten! up until this day I still laugh about what he said to me when I first met him. I was in a dungeon fighting hordes of zombies when he popped up and actually saved the day, it was a very nice thing of him to do. I asked him something that inquired about his presence there and he responded "I sensed you were in danger and I came to help" and let me tell you, I bought that really good. Good one Lord, very nice first impression lol... now being a mod I know for sure he appeared because I broke mossy cobble and he got that grief alarm.

Lord did the coolest thing ever too, he wanted to show me something one day, god knows how that started but he invited me over to his house and of course I obliged. I'll keep the rest of the details to myself but in the end I ended up in what seemed to be his company CreepsUTrust which was in the middle of the nether (Which back then wasn't even open to the public because the nether wasn't working!) so it was an amazing sight.

Toured me around the building, he... Lol... he told me about his "security system"... my god.

Skipping ahead, he took me to his office. If there was ever a cool moment in Escapecraft, this was it for me. It was the darkest room ever with a light shinning upon Lord's desk which was far into the distance as he sat on it and stared at me. I could barely see the floor!

...

...

...

Oh yeah, how did I become mod you ask? I don't know, they never tell you why. At least I never asked. All I know is that Lord's HQ office was the last thing I remember before my promotion... I woke up in a suit the next day.

I got bored one day and found out It was much easier for me to draw with a mouse than a pencil (and much cleaner too) I can't remember at what age I started cell shading, but I know I was a natural. There's way better people out there I would ask that too, like the guy who drew the monalisa exactly as she is on MSpaint... at work a very slow day...

Well, odd things happen when you enter that CUT building of his. I mean, when I entered it, I got banned. You must've had a lucky streak =D

Also, another question, when did you build Naida, and what inspired you to do it?

A story me and my wife have worked on since we met. That's what inspired it.

Naida is the name of the city where Zinrius was born in, is it exactly how Naida looks in the story? Nope, not at all. I f I were to create Naida I wouldn't be as alive as sane as I am today, but bigger things have been made so it's not impossible.

Mydrox was the one who (indirectly) got me into diamond mining. People kept telling stories about how rich he was. This being before the stats page I took the hyperbole seriously and set out to try and match it.

Q. How much playtime do you have on the server, and how would you say you've spent the majority of it?

Q. Do you usually build/play legitimately, or making use of your mod perks?

Q. What's the most hilariously implausible greifer excuse you've heard?

Invunarble::
It's my story ;) Not released yet

Jake::
1)play time, I could go form 3 hours to 5 if I'm inspired on something deadly or if my body can take it
2)I don't play legit because my brain explodes with so many ideas I just have to rush it to make it! If I play legit I'd stop my lab work and move onto farming and watching grass grow.
3)Brad excuses always amuse me and also the "I didn't do it" when I saw people do things makes my eye twitch.

Mydrox::
It went bye bye when the best skin making tool turned into another windows 7 paint fail with a pain in the butt tool to work with that seemed like an improvement but it really wasn't ...

Mario from Nintendo, I shall never forget this as Mario was my first introduction to video games. Ever.

I do, it's been holding up my table quite nicely.
Zin, whats your favourite way to kill someone?
-Suffocation
-Burning
-Stabbing
-Drowning
-Falling
-Shooting
-TNT
-Zombie attack
-Silverfish swarm
-Creeper explosion
...

To make it short, everything is my favorite. BUT if I'd have to pick I'd say it's between silverfish swarm and TNT

What do you mean by holding up your table? .-. Its a digital picture, unless you printed it off onto a sizeable piece of paper and have folded it and put it under the table leg to keep the table balanced of course, but then the pretty picture isnt on display... :(
