Ello 
1. When you made that quitting thread back in 2016, did you mean you were going to quit the game? (if so, what stopped you?) Or quit your past-self? (if so, what made you want to change/mature?)
2. What made you go to 19s and what has kept you there?
3. You mentioned many years ago that your reasons for (sometimes) AFK'ing were not enjoying the bg and no one you know depending on you, you really have to go or no one is trying to kill EFC; do you still hold to your word or have your reasons changed? or do you not afk at all (unless really having to go, like I assume most of us would)??
4. Why did you stop making those signature requests?
5. Do you prefer when people call you, or others, by their RL name, when in-game? or would rather go by "Phron/Phrontistery" in game-related issues?
6. Why don't you interact with people on your stream chat?
7. Do you consider yourself a "troll"?
8. What made you stay in Anub'arak for so long? Did you realm-changed? or just rerolled?
9. Are you still worried about Indica?
10. Did you ever feel there was a time you cared too much about this game? If so, do you regret?
11. Did you ever hate or strongly disliked anyone in-game (20-29s)? (NAMES!!)
12. Do you prefer old TI or one of the versions of XpOff?
13. What's your favorite book?
14. Who influenced you the most as a player?? (Please don't say Arnold Swarzenegger again)
15. What made you go p2p?
16. Who's your favorite lvl 20, nelf, rexxarian priest?
17. Why did you laugh at my strength ring?
18. Did you ever care about the people calling you out for premading, grouping with 24s, "hacking", etc.?
19. Do you still prefer Burger King over McDonald's?
20. ñ_ñ or ^-^ ??
21. Do you have any game / situation / play that you remember as your "top" one??? or worst one?
21 is a good number. I'll think of more soon
Have fun!

i guess cata
definitely earth shield, i also tremendously miss lightning shield, both were animations i liked - i also really miss that buff shamans gave to someones health when we healed them, and that thing where it boosted your hp by 25% or something ridiculous when your health got low
there was certainly a period where i felt absolutely untouchable

1- quitting thread
i think this one is sort of a mixed bag, if i remember correctly i was pretty depressed and felt like doing something else, but i also despised quitting threads because i knew almost every time the player comes back so i thought it would be funny in the future if i made one - i was right - i also wanted an excuse to post the picture i drew of my dog
2- What made you go to 19s and what has kept you there?
i believe when gear wasn't required anymore is when i went and took 19s seriously, of course the pugs are worse than 29 pugs but i tried to take the competitive scene seriously which at the time was flat-lining upon its death bed and nurse it back to health with the few real players who were left
what kept me there was simple, there was so much progression, so much potential for activity, 20-29s were a joke, there was no genuine competition - i also knew the people who played tournaments etc at 19 were leaps and bounds ahead of anyone in the 20-29 bracket, i had watched things like GSC vs SR finals and i knew that's where i wanted to be
3- You mentioned many years ago that your reasons for (sometimes) AFK'ing were not enjoying the bg
me afking is a pretty complex thing, i've probably spouted a lot of bs about it in the past
there are many factors;
are there people i know in my team,
are there people i respect in the opposing team,
have i been absolutely disappointed by my team too many times that i no longer care about helping them win,
the fact that when i play wow i am usually playing another game in the foreground so it's very easy to just say yeah i have no interest in playing this,
the fact that when i queue for 20-29 battlegrounds i don't really care that much about the games, i'm kind of queueing just to be in there and see what's going on - if it's a game i have interest in i will play, or if i'm with friends i don't want to gimp
4- Why did you stop making those signature requests?
i got too many requests in private offering money to make them for people, that isn't how i work, i can't just... make one because someone asks, i have to actually want to make one - it also makes me feel odd accepting money for such a thing
5- Do you prefer when people call you phron/etc
i guess i prefer phron at this point, it's just been so long, @Flamer started calling me tony the other day and it was no bueno - though... i wouldn't really mind if everybody did it
6- Why don't you interact with people on your stream chat?
there's a simple reason for this; lag
if i have stream chat open even popped out it contributes to any fps lag making the stream essentially useless, no one wants to see frame dropping, i also don't really have an interest in what random people have to say, anyone relevant can talk to me via somewhere else like messages or discord etc
7- Do you consider yourself a "troll"?
eh, not really, i suppose some people may but i've never liked labels, i just do what i like
8- What made you stay in Anub'arak for so long? Did you realm-change? or just rerolled?
horde invasion(early cata 24 guild) was on anub'arak and i got to know some people in there so i stayed there as long as i could because i was attached to my characters and i didn't want to subscribe just to realm-change, though i eventually did - bleeding hollows absolutely insane popularity was another world in comparison to how mind numbingly dead anub'arak was
9- Are you still worried about Indica?
yes, he is still spam spitting and creating characters on realms to rage-whisper people, he still will take a bg pop, run directly to me, try to polymorph me as he spits on me, die, then respawn and come back to me and do that for the entire game
every. game.
10- Did you ever feel there was a time you cared too much about this game? If so, do you regret?
i don't think so, i tend not to care very much about 'things'
11- Did you ever hate or strongly disliked anyone in-game (20-29s)?
i don't like people who are a combination of the following things
toxic
bad
two-faced
liars
with that being said, i'll edit this if i think of any more but off the top of my head "rush" & "banishedjr"
i have mountains of evidence i could share about both "players" if you can even call them that, but said evidence was given to me in confidence so i will not
i also strongly dislike any player who plays like they think they are good/teabags/emotes when they are playing something like a survival hunter and are very clearly writhing around like a worm cut in half on the skill floor
12- Do you prefer old TI or one of the versions of XpOff?
old ti
13- What's your favorite book?
the power of one by bryce courtenay - it was one of the first real books i read when i was 7 or 8 or 9, great for a youth
14- Who influenced you the most as a player??
honestly? probably fearthebuns/hunnybuns
witnessing his game awareness through mop truly inspired me to better myself as a player, and further watching his leadership skills in competitive games
15- What made you go p2p?
i really didn't want to go p2p, i really, really didn't want to do that, but i decided i would wait until i saw essentially everyone going vet, and i wanted to stay real
the truth is, in the meta at the time, you COULD NOT STAY REAL as a shaman fc with no boot speed enchant or cloak speed enchant when 95% of other players had them, it was tragic, but i simply had to - for a while the only enchants i had were the speed enchants
i still have many f2p characters that i adore, however my warlock account and a handful of other accounts remain locked with no access to which is very sad
16- Who's your favorite lvl 20, nelf, rexxarian priest?
can't think of any
17- Why did you laugh at my strength ring?
i was young and impressionable, i had probably been hanging out with elitist players so i carried that over to you, but i also know i always liked you so maybe i was trying to help out and improve your twink
18- Did you ever care about the people calling you out for premading, grouping with 24s, "hacking", etc.?
no, not at all, again i care very little about things like that
i'll be honest and say i am almost certain there were a lot of moments where i would intentionally irritate lil and possibly others on the forum when it would come to arguing about premades, i suppose i found some part of it entertaining
as for the hacking, i didn't care about it but i loved it, i loved being so far ahead of some players that they would think i am somehow cheating, i think most people can feel where i am coming from with that - i also liked the attention
19- Do you still prefer Burger King over McDonald's?
yes, i don't know about where anyone else lives but here the quality of burger king is far better than mcdonalds, it's often cheaper too which makes no sense - another factor is there is no burger king near me so that influences my thoughts too
20- ñ_ñ or ^-^ ??
^-^ sorry, it looks cute in discord
21- Do you have any game / situation / play that you remember as your "top" one??? or worst one?
i think it would be far too unrealistic to pick one specific situation as my top one, any wargame where i make a play that stands out to me personally is great
i.e. a while ago where i took initiative and left my team in mid to break early for the efc, i baited their shaman from coming up our ramp to help his fc into fighting me at tunnel because he thought he was wasting my time too, at just the right moment i rocket jump up tunnel, make it to 2nd floor where my rogue is fighting their fc, get a perfect shear and clutch a return that wins the game with their feral inches away from assisting their fc
if i had played it any differently we wouldn't have won the game, things like that
as for my worst one, when i make a mistake it might be something simple like mouseover shearing the wrong person accidentally because their names were so close together, that happens every now and then
there was one game where i made quite a big mistake about a month or two ago that didn't cost the game - we would have lost anyway - but exposed a hole in my game awareness, i actually ended up drawing the situation in paint so i was able to explain what i did wrong to somebody, and i still recall the situation, i like to pride myself on not making mistakes very often
there's the image i made, essentially what mvq(fc) and i should have done was walk back into 2nd floor and kill either the rogue, moonkin or both before attempting to cross mid, but we stalled for too long and i was eventually unable to block the hunter from harpooning up to me, although i was able to trinket his trap i believe he still silenced me and the gcd from trinket probably cost mvq his life and that gave them that particular flag return
