The_Wolf: Tim / 31 / Chicago IL USA / Yes please
Paxman: Profession?
The_Wolf: I work for a trucking company
Paxman: oh not as a driver i take it?
The_Wolf: not usually
The_Wolf: last time i drove a truck, i had to buy the car i hit
Paxman: haha, it would also be hard to do an interview while you are driving I imagine
The_Wolf: yes it would, although i play on my blackberry alot and have become proficient driving without looking at the road
The_Wolf: I work in the office, my position would be best described as a troubleshooter
Paxman: lol danger man! Marital status?
The_Wolf: I have been married for 13 years
Paxman: wow you got married very young
The_Wolf: yes we were only 18 when we married
The_Wolf: has been a rough long road, but we persevere
Paxman: lol nothing like young love! ok enough small talk, lets get to mafia business! How and when did you first discover the online mafia world?
The_Wolf: In February of 2006 I started playing TMB in April of 2007 I came to ML
The_Wolf: make that April 08
Paxman: lol i was wondering how youve been playing for several months before ML started hehe! ok lets start with tmb, please tell us about your first experiences on that game
The_Wolf: My brother told me to check it out so I logged on, I thought was really stupid and told him so and he quit playing, but I found myself sitting up bored half the night so i would log on and loved just killing the NOOBs as they signed on for the round
The_Wolf: so I continued to play for a bit, I moved and my internet sucked so I didnt play for almost a year, I never got along well with too many people over there
The_Wolf: so i preferred just random acts of violence, just to piss people off
The_Wolf: Only fams I remember staying in for more than a few rounds were Moneymaking Mafia with Joedog and Wolfpack with Fingers
Paxman: i see so it was just a bit of fun killing when you logged on rather than anything structured at the start?
The_Wolf: all along I never understood the structure, if anything i liked to hit people and cause family friction and get booted, but was always a small time player - a looter for want of a better word - occasionally i still log on over there, kill randomly and then log off
Paxman: oh ok, did you learn any valuable lessons during this 'free-lancing' period which you still make use of today?
The_Wolf: yes i learned 2 things mostly
The_Wolf: 1. hatemail is better than fanmail
The_Wolf: 2. the only way to succeed in tmb is to suck on big supp d*** like cyp or pops or one of them
The_Wolf: and near the end of my playing days I met Mr Blonde and having already the name
The_Wolf made a good fit with Tarantino
Paxman: oh i see, so up until you met Mr Blonde, your main aim was just to make yourself a pain in the ass to as many people as possible?
The_Wolf: yes, not nearly as obnoxious as some of the others as Im not much a talker, I just liked annoying people
The_Wolf: and it wasnt until we moved Tarantino to Mobsterlord any of that changed, although we still like pissing people
Paxman: i see, would you say one of your goals was to try and mess up the established order where the big boys like cyp and pops always dominate?
The_Wolf: Nah - never thought that much about it while playing tmb, it was just a way to pass some time in the evenings for me
The_Wolf: really it was a stepping stone to understand the format of these games
Paxman: hehe ok, well tell us about your meeting with Blonde and joining his fam on tmb
The_Wolf: Well I was hanging around Cleveland being a general pain, I cant remember which fam at the moment
The_Wolf: and I came across Blonde and noticed the Tarantino name so I joined him, because my character,
The_Wolf is from pulp fiction, it was a nick name i got at work
The_Wolf: a customer called me
The_Wolf cause I would clean his mess like Harvey Keittel did for Samuel Jackson and John Travolta
The_Wolf: so it seemed a good fit, they were all Tarantino characters, call it a sign from God - we moved to ML about 3 rounds later
Paxman: lol a match made in heaven! hehe ok well tell us about your early days on ML. Did you just continue where you left of on tmb or did you adapt your style for this game?
The_Wolf: well at first I hated the layout and was a bit resistent to change once again, but we were settled into Tarallo at that time so I just sat back and learned the game a bit. Collected for the first time that seemed a bit stupid, but it helped me get in final fams which was good for creds
The_Wolf: after maybe 5 rounds or so, Blonde suggested we branch off on our own
The_Wolf: that is when we had to start a hybrid model
Paxman: a hybrid between what?
The_Wolf: between collecting and killing...choosing our paths wisely as Fugazi would say
Paxman: lol Mr Blonde and Mr_penis have told us about some of the special characteristics of Tarantino. Would you like to add anything to their comments about the family's defining characteristics?
The_Wolf: we are just a pain in the ass
The_Wolf: we wont always win our fights, but our opponent will not win either
Paxman: oh so fighting just for the sake of it? or is your ultimate goal about rankings?
The_Wolf: well that has also evolved quite a bit, we still will fight for no good reason, but we also try to mind our ranks - it started with a goal to win the jackpot. Blonde, Fug, and I planned a way to do it and then we did it. Since then the bar has been raised a bit and ranks is definitely a more defined role. Even in war we have found ways to pull out a fam rank. It is hard being an Independent fam competing with the unions
Paxman: oh i see, but i believe tarantino has expanded now too, do you consider yourselves to be a "union" now?
The_Wolf: Unfortunately, Blonde decided to semi-retire - it was always his goal to have just one fam
The_Wolf: but since he has been off we have expanded into multi fams including partnering with some of the other fams like Maharlika and Fight Club
The_Wolf: so yes, at our low point we had 6 members...although we were fierce members - i think i counted about 80 last night
Paxman: wow I think that sure does qualify as a union now lol. Are you happy with the decision to expand or would you have preferred to keep i the way Blonde originally wanted with just the one fam?
The_Wolf: Is a tough call, ideally we would have one fam only and that would be an excellent family. However, as we attracted attention our ranks began to grow. I remember one round shortly before our expansion I had to tell 2 new members we didn't want them because we didn't have room. That is also unfair because everyone should be in the family they want to be in, and also you never know where you might find future support. I suppose all fams can tell you about the player they didnt recruit and later that bit them in the ass
The_Wolf: so we just have to accept it for what it is and let the gameplay dictate our fam, we will lose members due to ranking soon I am sure as it is hard to rank them all and much different then our core philosophy, but we are learning as we go
Paxman: oh i see so basically see how it goes :) Well tell us about the round you managed to pull off the JP win, Penis and Blonde have mentioned it being a very proud moment for Tarantino..
The_Wolf: It was a very proud moment, we had set a goal many rounds before to do it - so when we did it surprised everyone and I think it helped change the game for the better. We gave the smaller players hope. We will do it again real soon :)
Paxman: hehe I see you still have the same mentality of small guys Vs big guys which you mentioned in connection to tmb..
The_Wolf: It was also a very sad moment in our history though, after that round many of our old timers retired or disappeared
The_Wolf: yes we are definitely the small guys...although as the fam grows we now have more support. For a long time we were free or only 1 supporter The_Wolf: the goal is now to beat the big guys every once in a while
Paxman: oh did the old timers retire after that round because it was 'job done' for them?
The_Wolf: I think so, we still have a few - but real life catches all of us. After the win we lost direction for a while and I think many just were ready to move on at that time. They all pop in here and there on occasion, even Fugazi is hanging with us this round
Paxman: oh i see, do you ever miss those early days of just a small elite core, or do you enjoy more the regular success you have now?
The_Wolf: Sometimes I like the anonymous days, but I must admit I enjoy the present as well. Growing our small fam against the odds has been a constant challenge, sometimes it gets rough like when you feel you are putting forth too much effort and others are not, but for the most part it is nice to have some name recognition. Now when I tell someone I will 00 them, I watch them dump their cash off...cause they know its coming
Paxman: lol do you threaten players quite often then?
The_Wolf: no i seldom threaten, more i tip my hand
The_Wolf: has always been a flaw that pisses the hell out of my fam, i let them know we are coming usually
The_Wolf: it is kind of funny, just the other day Penis and I moved to another city and the main player in that city buried the cash as soon as they saw us just in the city
The_Wolf: so that is more the kind of threat we use now
The_Wolf: one more note on that subject
The_Wolf: a few rounds ago we started offering banker protection....pay us 150B 2 days before eor and we will not loot your bank, otherwise all banks are always targets
Paxman: lol has anyone actually sent you the 150bil so far?
The_Wolf: yes - but they will remain anonymous, and we did not hit their bank as agreed
The_Wolf: other times we have negotiated other favors in return
Paxman: hehe Im sure you must get many complaints running that kind of service and 'tipping your hand'
The_Wolf: oh yes - lots of hatemail, but also am friendly with near everyone on the game. Tarantino law states I cannot boot you from our fam for looting, so we just deal with it and the sh**storm sometimes it brings
The_Wolf: but all other players know us by now, hitting banks is what made us famous, we cannot stop now
The_Wolf: besides it is our hobby
Paxman: are there any banks you wont hit, or are they all legitimate targets?
The_Wolf: no we have hit them all at one time or another, all are targets at any given time
The_Wolf: sometimes if penis is our bank, ill hit him too
The_Wolf: just cause
Paxman: haha! i was about to ask how you would react if your own bank was hit
The_Wolf: it has been and will continue to be, usually that means war - which again we may not win but you will lose - if our bank gets hit we normally hit the other bank back as soon as possible
The_Wolf: actually last round i lost 1.7 tril
The_Wolf: that was a response to our bank getting hit, we 00ed the guy who spent 1000 and did it but i was caught holding cash when i was working and not able to watch it and got 00ed back
The_Wolf: its all good, actually it was a very good thing
The_Wolf: yes we lost a lot of cash, but MOB was the one who hit us, means they opened themselves up for a near future war
Paxman: hehe are you issuing another 'tip of your hand'?
The_Wolf: not officially, but i will message tony and shawn and butcher before we strike im sure, much to my own fams internal dismay
The_Wolf: it is something that has brewed for a while, we fought a short war a few rounds back, i can say it had no winners
The_Wolf: but now butcher is back, means someone will spend money to kill us making it all the more fun
Paxman: lol Mob are of course one of the 'big boys' of the game. Do tarantino never back down from a fight they cant win?
The_Wolf: we dont back down, but we try and play smart and wise. yes we will concede a battle to win a war. we could've warred them this round as the stage was set and players on both sides are wanting it, but we try and fight on our terms when at all possible
Paxman: now that Mr Blonde has semi-retired, is it you who has the final say at Tarantino on these matters?
The_Wolf: hmm...is a tough question to answer, i prefer to be a soldier of the Tarantino army, but when he stepped down he handed me the position of Don. However, I try to never abuse that power and the family is run by many of us with all input considered before making decisions. Mr Penis runs the mini rounds these days and his input is always valuable to me. The rest of the family in true Tarantino fashion kind of do their own thing and we support them whether it be for the good or the bad. I only remember booting 2 people from our family in all the time we have played.
Paxman: lol what did those two do?
The_Wolf: well we had one, was named nikki six , he plays under a diff name now, col leprachaun maybe, he was the only person ever to ask for cash back once he found he did not make ranking fam, i forgave him for that but he continued to run his mouth so we booted him but if i remember didnt 00 him
The_Wolf: he other was seventh element, i just read luca's interview and he alluded to some of the things there. He made himself our banker and he talked way too much, so we actually hit him while he was still in fam and returned the rest of our cash and went on his merry way
The_Wolf: both players are ok players, they just didnt fit our system.
Paxman: oh i see you like to give players as much chance as possible to fit into tarantino. Is this because you are eager to expand or you just like to give the 'small' guy a chance too?
The_Wolf: It is not an expansion issue, as I said we would be just as happy being one small fam again, it is about providing an alternate. lets face it this is a mob game, not my little pony. People do not all want to sit and collect for 10 days. Collecting sucks, we do it too some rounds because it is a nesc evil, but we also offer protection to small players just looking to have fun. Not too many cause trouble we cannot handle, and after dealing with certain members of my own fam for many rounds we have come to enjoy it.
Paxman: ok, i ask this question because your name has been mentioned quite a few times in the 'person you would most like to join your fam' question. Have you ever considered joining another fam?
The_Wolf: well i am flattered anyone would think of me that way, as without my fam I am not much - As mentioned when I started playing I played with Mob for a few rounds. I went to Darkside for most of one round once and in minis have played for many different fams at time. maybe 5 or 6 rounds ago I was likely to join as I was getting ready to leave Tarantino out of frustration so I went and started a new fam for 1 round, we did ok with our army of 5..lol...but now i have the responsibility of the fam on my shoulders and i cannot abandon them. I love them all dearly and they all work so hard.
The_Wolf: Plus I have a special relationship with mr P these days, not in a gay way, but we are polar opposites and both have trouble succeeding without the rational or irrational input of the other
The_Wolf: and again most of the fam that has stuck by in the lean times, i could not betray that way
Paxman: lol, do you care to talk more about the time you left Tarantino out of frustration?
The_Wolf: sure i will comment on it, without getting into exact family politics because we keep those close to the vest
The_Wolf: It is hard to support a growing family, in the end really i just needed a break, but we were coming off like 8 rounds of war and i was beat and needed some more support to keep the fam running
The_Wolf: Blonde wasnt on alot at that time and most of the fam does their best but as free players is only so much you can do
The_Wolf: the other supporters and i didnt always see eye to eye....you know we were talking the other day, and mr P and I have never fought the same enemy at the same time...lol - imagine that
The_Wolf: plus my wife was sick and i needed to get laid ....lol ... so i was a bit of a dick
Paxman: hehe because you have always disagreed with the war the other person was fighting?
The_Wolf: sometimes that is the case, sometimes it is to protect a rank spot, sometimes it is to help us keep balance in the game - we often consider ourselves a neutral force that when swung to either side of the union war we influence the outcome of the round. As a larger family now we hope we influence it even greater
Paxman: i see, okay time for the friends question! Who are your best friends on the game and for each person please give the reason(s) why you like them.
The_Wolf: best friends...tough question cause when you are an ass like me is hard - so the easy one will be my fam first then ill get into some of the others The_Wolf: Mr Blonde - made me
The_Wolf: Fugazi - taught me patience
The_Wolf: Mr P - gives me headaches but also is my darkside and we together make one unit
The_Wolf: James - (changes names all the time so not sure how he would like to be named) - is constant companion
The_Wolf: Sunny D and DM - we dont talk too much stuck with us through thick and thin
The_Wolf: and Bear my son...lol
The_Wolf: others - i speak to a lot of people.
The_Wolf: Jackal is noob, but i like his style
The_Wolf: DHW and Luca are both good guys
The_Wolf: Yoh Boo - we screw her fam more than any others and she still talks to me
The_Wolf: Rebelson and Rebelchick are cool, cant wait to go fishing with them The_Wolf: Tony and Butcher I speak to on occasion. I like them both and have good convos when we speak
The_Wolf: Taka and Stereokid are both good to shoot the shit with
The_Wolf: any others I missed I apologize, I cant name everyone....even you zero The_Wolf: ok fine i cant forget some of the others that i talk to little but like just fine, 13, Sutil, Cupcake, Cat, Ilovebites, fuckaface, blackwidow
The_Wolf: lol - i must stop or i will name all
Paxman: lol yes you dont want to turn into the nice guy! Ok a few questions on the ML community! Who do you think is the funniest person/people on the game?
The_Wolf: funniest person would be Penis for his distasteful humor but I also get a kick out of God24
Paxman: Smartest person?
The_Wolf: hmmm...tough..I hate to say it but may be Shawn - next to Tarantino of course
Paxman: lol reason for shawn?
The_Wolf: you ever see all his medals? he doesnt spend much money and does ok for himself...plus he knows when to back off a fight and pick a fight
The_Wolf: But Tarantino first, Blonde
Paxman: and reason for Blonde?
The_Wolf: because he helped me design our "triangle offense" which brought us a jackpot...im still playing on Jimmys money
Paxman: haha! Nicest person?
The_Wolf: Me
The_Wolf: haha - i dunno - I like plenty of people fine and most I associate with dont want to be called nice
Paxman: most honest?
The_Wolf: is a mob game so you must be careful what you expect, Only Mob has broken their word to me. I trust James, Blonde, and Penis the most
Paxman: care to mention the time mob broke their word and what your response was?
The_Wolf: on a few occasions it has happened, -- I will detail just so more in game understand why we are not allied with them in the same sense anymore- I have been called Voo's bitch in the past which is offensive (hit Mob for that just to prove otherwise btw) -
The_Wolf: the first time, shawn helped make me famous, when i finally got the opportunity to make a name for Tarantino, he banked me up and held our cash The_Wolf: I hit A and DonJon - then the next round we hit DonJon again and shawn once again financed our efforts
The_Wolf: but this time he shorted me 50 Bil - I told him then not to make me an enemy over 50 Bil but he would not listen - so we have not worked with them in main since
The_Wolf: the other time was a mini about 4 minis ago...we were working with them
The_Wolf: and the last minute Tony hit Penis and someone 00ed me.....in the meantime we had sent our forces to help kill their enemy - i still hit Shawn at eor in that mini to win 1st lev 2, but the damage was done
The_Wolf: thats when I told Penis he could command the minis, he has kept them 00 in mini ever since
Paxman: but I take it you can accept when people hit you since you are always hitting others? or has the relationship with mob been permanently scarred?
The_Wolf: I am friends with lots of Mob and we have avoided that war often. When I get hit I take it in stride as it is part of the game. Nothing is ever permanent, just earlier this round I watched YohBoo max shawn, from your own interviews you would conclude that is impossible. So I am sure we will put it all behind us at some point. I respect all Mob members and our last war cost them over 1 Mil creds that Im sure they wish they had back. This next war will be equally as damaging im sure, but it seems like it will happen soon, then we can go on with life.
Paxman: hehe ok. biggest liar?
The_Wolf: hmm...just shawn probably although i trust all other non fam members not too much
The_Wolf: i like shawn btw....just is what it is ....
Paxman: hottest mafioso?
The_Wolf: sionx i think...unless the picture i saw was of her "lover" not her.... The_Wolf: think i didnt say too much there
Paxman: lol most annoying person?
The_Wolf: Seventh Element or Crimes I think
Paxman: you mentioned 7th already but reason for crimes?
The_Wolf: he asks for rank in mini all the time...its funny i dont know him much though
Paxman: Best Killer? and Best Collector?
The_Wolf: needs definition - if you mean best killer as in can get most donations either taka or dewa, if you mean killer as can spend the most money butcher or madness, if you mean just plain killer - i would go with myself, penis, or dytel The_Wolf: best collector? dont think it matters...is based on creds u spend - but DM does well as a free player
Paxman: Best looter?
The_Wolf: hands down Mr P
The_Wolf: but all old Maharlika rock
Paxman: what special qualities do you think a good looter needs?
The_Wolf: lol - is our speciality so i can't tip all.....but need to pay attention to detail, be patient, and be super fast
Paxman: Best poker player?
The_Wolf: well popular opinion is tonyg, i dont have opportunity to play much, but I would bet on my friend James
Paxman: Is there any player you would never hit not matter what happens between you?
The_Wolf: nope - will hit anyone
Paxman: even your closest friends?
The_Wolf: yes of course...is a game - as long as we are on same team of course I would not, but I even told Blonde I would hit him when I left Tarantino....it doesnt hurt getting hit you know
Paxman: lol i guess, im not sure everyone sees it that way though!
The_Wolf: hence the hatemail
Paxman: Most popular person on ML?
The_Wolf: popular? - you mean who gets the best c*** sucking for rank? The_Wolf: or who gives the best?
Paxman: lol both
The_Wolf: Actually I think either or is irrelevant, each fam will have their own - but alot seem to talk to YB
The_Wolf: Yoh-Boo
Paxman: Have you ever lost your cool on the game?
The_Wolf: yes - only once i can remember...I take losses hard so I stew over it for a few days, but only lost temper once
The_Wolf: I suppose next question is when?
Paxman: you got it!
The_Wolf: Mini round protection was supposed to be enabled, so last 1 minute i was hire protecting like 120 tril
The_Wolf: but the protection failed
The_Wolf: so I went off on Jimmy
The_Wolf: I started nice, but when he wouldnt (couldnt) help enough
The_Wolf: I just lost it with him
The_Wolf: he banned me for that...
The_Wolf: damn....
Paxman: you mean you were protecting and it just didnt work?
The_Wolf: Yes...should be 10 sec protection per 60 turns
The_Wolf: the feature failed, but since for everyone Jimmy couldnt fix it (and probably rightly so)
The_Wolf: i felt bad for fuking the fam, I apologized and he let me play again
Paxman: oh so there is no more bad blood between you and jimmy over the incident?
The_Wolf: hmmm....i doubt that is a fair statement
The_Wolf: I have tried to be nice to him since...but I am sure he still doesnt like me either
The_Wolf: and he was still wrong
The_Wolf: I paid for a sub, the rules changed mid game, growing up in USA we call that customer service
The_Wolf: but I have used it as motivation to win more jackpots without spending, cause that will come out of his pocket
Paxman: what do you think he should have done?
The_Wolf: well - in reality he was probably being fair, he did give me some help although i wont reveal exactly what, i felt he should re-reimburse my mini round pack if not my sub....but then again others got screwed too
The_Wolf: come on though, $10.00 for an every round supporter to keep your customer happy? Guess things are different in India or wherever he is from The_Wolf: I shouldnt have told him to f*** off is what i should have done different though
Paxman: lol ok Most loyal Mafioso and who they are loyal to?
The_Wolf: many are loyal - it seems butcher and shawn, dhw and mad, sionx and yoh boo, many have pairs
The_Wolf: all my fam have been very loyal as well, I am proud of them
Paxman: Mafioso you most suspect of being homosexual?
The_Wolf: Mr Penis The_Wolf: maybe not homo, but i think def bisexual The_Wolf: no ... u cant have my ass P
Paxman: haha which person would you most like to join your fam?
The_Wolf: hmm this is one of 2 questions I have been dreading so my answer will be long
Paxman: lol thats fine, the longer the better!
The_Wolf: Obvious choices would be the high dollar spenders, G4uardian, Butcher, Mad - Blonde worked hard on recruiting Farls and 13 so either of them would be nice, TonyG helped me learn this game and always challenged me to be better - I have utmost respect for his style and enjoy his conversation, Sionx - well I think she is that hottie I mentioned, Luca and DHW also make trouble so they are nice, The_Jackal is new but we like him too, Taka is a perv like Penis so he fits....you see it is tricky cause my fam has most of those we wanted in....hope you ask me about other fams later and I can detail some more....but enough stalling
The_Wolf: when it all breaks down, the only person that even comes close to being hated enough to be a good fit in our fam is Shawn
The_Wolf: so once again, dishonest and all, I will take him
Paxman: lol what qualities do you think he would bring to Tarantino which you need?
The_Wolf: he is sneaky and has a big mouth that causes trouble
The_Wolf: so he would fit in...lol
Paxman: hehe! Most and least selfish players?
The_Wolf: hmm....interesting question I hadnt considered much
The_Wolf: i am perceived as one of the most selfish I am sure, but that was based on the fam foundation
The_Wolf: besides me, I would once again have to say MOB as a whole is most selfish
The_Wolf: and least selfish would be Tarantino as a whole
The_Wolf: fair enough answer?
Paxman: umm what do you mean about it being "based on the fam foundation"?
The_Wolf: was part of how we started, we funnelled all the creds to one person The_Wolf: first it was blonde The_Wolf: then it was me
The_Wolf: now it has evolved a bit and me and Penis both share ... although he has a few more than me at the moment
The_Wolf: soon, we hope to evolve it more and share ranks more, but from the outside looking in you see my medals and the lack of medals for the fam and it appears different then what it is
The_Wolf: so my fam is least selfish, because despite lack of ranks they have stuck with us
Paxman: interesting answer lol. Scariest person?
The_Wolf: I dont scare - it is a game, the worst possible scenario is you kill my imaginary dus....I hope to others I or my fam can be scariest
Paxman: If you could give advice to 5 people on ML, who would they be and what advice would you give to each person?
The_Wolf: haha - the second question I was up half the night dreading The_Wolf: Fugazi - stay home in Tarantino, we can build the fam as we dreamed and spoke of
The_Wolf: Sionx - come play on the wild side
The_Wolf: Jackal - pay your credit card bill so you can blow more cash...but join us first
The_Wolf: Shawn - do your own dirty work once in a while - see you on battlefield
The_Wolf: Mr P - just keep getting me in trouble
The_Wolf: even when i get pissed at u
Paxman: If you had 3 wishes for things you would like to see happen in the ML world, what would those 3 wishes be?
The_Wolf: jimmy get banned
The_Wolf: haha
Paxman: lol
The_Wolf: no all serious - would be fun to fight the admins for a round, although there is suspicion we already do that to an extent
The_Wolf: wish 1. no more farm kills, get gold glocks by killing dus with aks The_Wolf: wish 2. more poker tourneys later in the evening (USA time) The_Wolf: wish 3. well that one will be selfish...more Tarantino wins of course
Paxman: lol do you care to expand on that "suspicion"?
The_Wolf: well it is popular belief that either admins play the game or help some of the other players somehow, some can cite times it appeared cheating was a reality. I came to the conclusion it didnt matter, and I actually hope they are! Then the wins are so much sweeter.
Paxman: oh well if that is the case, it must be scary for people who support on the game in a big way
The_Wolf: yeah it would be, i never spent much and all money has come from the game that i have spent so it impacts me little. But there have been rounds some of the big supporters have lost a lot of cash to some mysterious circumstances
The_Wolf: again, just rumors I am sure....I think we showed that as a myth when we won the round
The_Wolf: since Freak has done it as well
The_Wolf: if was true admins playing, they wouldnt have allowed it
Paxman: Person/Fam you would most like to hit?
The_Wolf: well since u asked - haha
Paxman: lol
The_Wolf: I have hit or ordered the hits on near all the players in the game, during a span of 6 or 7 rounds we hit every fam in the game
The_Wolf: so it cannot be a fam, however I have hit all the other "big players" but as I mentioned when we hit MOB butcher wasnt around, so he is the only one left for me to hit
The_Wolf: and that will come soon....but when I tell him that he seems like he doesnt care so is not so much fun ...
The_Wolf: so Butcher....you're next
Paxman: lol spicy interview!!
The_Wolf: haha - truthful interview i hope
The_Wolf: just try to speak it as it is
Paxman: The one person you hate the most?
The_Wolf: Mr Penis
The_Wolf: lol - again is my darkside...we all hate our darksides
Paxman: Who do you think hates you the most?
The_Wolf: very good question, I had not planned on that one
The_Wolf: if I had to pick one, although she is nice to me I would say Yoh Boo again, we pick on her alot
The_Wolf: but I think I have lots of haters
Paxman: lol is there a reason you target her and her fam in paticular?
The_Wolf: cause she gets so mad
The_Wolf: and you know woman
The_Wolf: aren't they cute when they are mad
The_Wolf: also being the only real independant fam left they make easy targets The_Wolf: they did change their name though...no more Renegades
Paxman: Person (if any) you most admire on ML?
The_Wolf: well I dont know if admire is the correct wording, but I appreciate all of the players we have from Asia. The incomes they support their family on and thir work ethics to do it boggle my mind sometimes
Paxman: Mafioso you would most like to meet in real life?
The_Wolf: Mr Blonde
The_Wolf: I hope to invest in a business sometime with him and help the Filipino people
Paxman: wow something productive to come from the mafia games!
The_Wolf: yes wouldnt that be great! What is the point of meeting people globally if we cannot give back a little. Us Americans are so rich even in our downturned economy - it would be my honor to help those less fortunate
The_Wolf: maybe you shouldnt print all that, people might think im too nice
Paxman: lol we dont want people thinking the wolf has a soft spot!
Paxman: ok i know youve been waiting for this one! Tell us what you think of the various regular fams on ML and their dons..
The_Wolf: yeah..shh
The_Wolf: haha
The_Wolf: well I think Tarantino is best and has the best Dons
Paxman: lol i expected that answer!
The_Wolf: Mob - is a very powerful fam and I have utmost respect and appreciation for tonyg and voo, and have mentioned Shawn already too much
The_Wolf: Darkside - well I think Mad has a lot of cash and "can squash me like a bug" lol - DHW is a nice guy, the rest of the fam sometimes I wonder about
The_Wolf: we have fought alongside them and against them, kind of weak often
The_Wolf: Apocolypse - YB tries really hard and they assemble lots of supporters
The_Wolf: Rebel Alliance - is new fam Rebelson and Rebelchick started after we brought Fightclub into our mix, hopefully after I get them out on the lake they join us too
The_Wolf: Maharilka has been working with Tarantino, hopefully that relationship continues to blosson, cupcake has done a great job! i hope they start looting more again
The_Wolf: Fightclub is Tarantino now, Apache does a commendable job - anytime Shotta uses his name I will 00 him
The_Wolf: Overlook is new fam, dont know much about them but they helped me 00 someone last round so i owe them a favor
The_Wolf: Baby - is good loyal fam, we like to be a pain in their ass, the few convos I have with A are always pleasant people say he is nice, but he never sends me free money so hes not too nice
The_Wolf: he may have gotten screwed by one of those beforementioned admin glitches
The_Wolf: Coffee - well I wish they would join us cause Fugazi left us to start them The_Wolf: I think that covered all the major fams, all the small fams, word of advice from someone who has been there, keep it up - games are made by all of you. Work hard and you will be successful
The_Wolf: Oh and staff fam....lol they dont like me
Paxman: wise words im sure! would it be accurate to say you are looking to expand Tarantino even further?
The_Wolf: if it continues to grow it is because we are doing well and providing an option for players who dont want to be "controlled" quite so much. We will take it as it comes. Of course all dream of being the most powerful family, but since I dont use my credit card and butcher and mad and G4uard do...will be tough to become the largest
Paxman: What would you say are the core values of your fam?
The_Wolf: Honest with each other, no challenge to large, piss people off The_Wolf: i think that would be on the membership card, if u cant do those things..dont apply
Paxman: lol so you wouldnt accept people who refuse to piss other people off?
The_Wolf: haha - we accept all kinds of course - but dont like the ones that are afraid to fight
The_Wolf: you can piss people off in a nice way too you know
Paxman: lol what would you say has been your biggest mistake to date?
The_Wolf: getting banned was bad of course, but i make lots of mistakes.. losing all that cash last round ranks up there ... but in reality leaving Tarantino those few rounds when I needed a break was unfair to them so I would say that
Paxman: ok hard one: who have you been most dissapointed by and why?
The_Wolf: Fugazi - he left us alone just as we were starting to blossom and went and did his own thing. I wish he would have stayed and worked things out
Paxman: do you understand his decision to leave?
The_Wolf: yes i think so many rounds later
The_Wolf: but i will never fully know i am sure...
Paxman: in general, how do you like the mini rounds?
The_Wolf: well thats funny you ask
The_Wolf: i used to hate them when they first started, Blonde about had to pull my teeth to get me to play
The_Wolf: then i developed a strategy and one round i hit mad for like i dunno 60 tril in drugs or something
The_Wolf: so i became a bit addicted to them, i think i have most lev 2 wins now...i let others fight for lev 3 usually - they make a good way to pass the days in the round
Paxman: lol would you like to share your stategy or would that be giving away too much?
The_Wolf: well as with everything else it evolved and wouldnt work here lately, i cant say too much but it works cause i am fast and ruthless - usually more of a late run. Now since Penis handles them, I have to do alot less. The last 3 have evolved into if he does not know you, we will 00 you.
The_Wolf: so is not much hope for the others...when that changes I will go back to my previous ways im sure
Paxman: What remaining ambitions do you have in the game?
The_Wolf: is hard to stay focused - we have plans to win a few jackpots coming up real soon here, i was hoping by the time this was published but I think not ....maybe the round it gets published...i think will be a war the round after..anyway after we take those jackpots i would like to work on getting medals for all my fam and take it easy myself
Paxman: exciting plans afoot!
The_Wolf: we hope so....like the little engine that could
Paxman: you have already partially answered this, but ill ask in case you would like to add anything else! What do you think of admin on ML and are there any changes you would like to see them make?
The_Wolf: haha - despite our past, I think they present a very good game. I hope Jimmy doesnt hold my mouth against me. I mentioned the changes previously which would be make killer rank real killer rank, although we have learned to "cheat" to get those ranks too. Poker in evening (usa) would be good
The_Wolf: the other admins i have never spoken too, they should message all players on occasion and keep their fingers on the pulse of the game i think
Paxman: On average, how many hours do you spend on the game a day?
The_Wolf: too many - i dont sit on much except eor or in the evening, but am usually checking in every 20 - 30 min for a minute dealing with anything that may come up. It probably adds up to a part time job of 30 hours a week The_Wolf: my wife would say i lie and is more than that...so probably is
Paxman: addicted? what do friends/family think?
The_Wolf: yes a bit addicted. my wife and daughter think i spend too much time on...plus you re-organize life a bit to make eors and that kind of thing
The_Wolf: have got better at honoring real life first
The_Wolf: Are there any tough questions you want me to answer? Anything that you may be afraid to ask? I heard you were banned too.
Paxman: haha
The_Wolf: were you banned cause you couldnt play well enough? too afraid to hit those big boys?
The_Wolf: haha
Paxman: lol there you go, me insulted too!
The_Wolf: i was trying
Paxman: you mentioned several times that this is a "mob game" and some people have trouble dealing with that. Does this game resemble the real life mafia in any way for you?
The_Wolf: yes it does a bit but not really - no mafia is going to do a million man driveby
Paxman: lmao!!
The_Wolf: but they will extort you (hence our 150B and your bank doesnt get hit) The_Wolf: aside from that the family relation is similar - but again this is a game. Real mafia will hurt you for real
Paxman: ok now for the personal questions. Feel free to answer these in as much or as little detail as you like.
Paxman: When were you happiest?
The_Wolf: sure
The_Wolf: Either when my daughter was born or a fishing trip i remember specifically with my dad and daughter and brother
Paxman: What is your earliest memory?
The_Wolf: seeing the police and ambulances taking away my sister when she died, i was about 2
Paxman: What is your most treasured possession?
The_Wolf: One of my dad's old fishing poles, my daughter broke it but i keep it anyway...i cried when it happened, im a sap
Paxman: What makes you depressed?
The_Wolf: pondering the shortness of life - "Remind me Lord how brief my time on earth will be"
Paxman: Where would you most like to live?
The_Wolf: I dont know, maybe on a houseboat somewhere warm
The_Wolf: pick an island any island
Paxman: Giving or taking?
The_Wolf: Depends on what you mean, but generally I am a giver
Paxman: Which living person do you admire the most and why?
The_Wolf: Well Dad is still alive so I admire him the most. He sacrificed his life and finances to be home often with us kids, and he put up with my mom. Famous person would be Billy Graham because he had the courage to impact the world.
Paxman: What was your most embarrassing moment?
The_Wolf: Getting caught in bed with my wife (before we were married) by my father, I was so ashamed
Paxman: Do you believe in God?
The_Wolf: Yes - despite my sin I believe God sent his son Jesus to sacrifice for all mankind offering redemption
Paxman: To whom would you most like to say sorry and why?
The_Wolf: will make it the short list
The_Wolf: I apologize to my wife for not being a more nurturing husband
The_Wolf: I apologize to my daughter for not being home enough
The_Wolf: I apologize to my father for being a bad kid growing up and causing him heartache
The_Wolf: I apologize to my mother for allowing our relationship to get sour
Paxman: How do you relax?
The_Wolf: I fish...and I fish alot
Paxman: lol where do you go fishing?
The_Wolf: anywhere i can for sure, but I spend alot of time on Lake Michigan during the summer. Something about being 10 miles off shore is just awesome. Especially when you get stuck in storms and you see the power of our creator from that angle
Paxman: What single thing would improve the quality of your life?
The_Wolf: Work less and spend more time with family
Paxman: What would you super-power be?
The_Wolf: i wouldnt mind the ability to read minds
Paxman: would be useful on ML I imagine! What is your favorite book?
The_Wolf: Stephen King - "Dark Tower Series" - starts with The Gunslinger and is about 8 books or so ending with The Dark Tower
Paxman: Fav film?
The_Wolf: Braveheart
Paxman: and fav song?
The_Wolf: I dont listen to too much music, but it would be "Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns
Paxman: If you could edit your past, what would you change?
The_Wolf: Unfortunately I must stick with the not change anything. I have made more mistakes and bad decisions then anyone I know, I have caused pain and suffering to myself and others along the way. But all those things have molded me into the person I am today and through those paths I met many people that I wouldnt have if things played out differently
Paxman: What does love feel like?
The_Wolf: Love does not feel like anything, it is a constant effort and coherent choice we must make
Paxman: Have you ever said 'I love you' and not meant it?
The_Wolf: Yes, to Sionx often
The_Wolf: well maybe not often...
Paxman: Describe your ideal woman
The_Wolf: im married so this question is biased....we all have our faults, at least I know the ones she has
The_Wolf: but for those looking, I would place integrity, honesty, and intelligence at the top of the list
Paxman: What was the greatest kiss of your life?
The_Wolf: I dont think it was our first one, but at the summer camp where I met my wife I remember sneaking out at night and meeting her at the "boathouse", just sitting with her in the dark and staring at the lake. Was the most passionate kiss I can remember, she hooked me with that one
The_Wolf: but each night the peck on the cheek i get from my daughter is also special
Paxman: When did you last cry and why?
The_Wolf: When my dad had a heart attack last February, I thought he was going to die. I had to call my brothers and tell them what happened, I could hardly speak to them on the phone because the tears kept coming
Paxman: What is your favorite word?
The_Wolf: dont listen to what they say, its ok for men to cry
The_Wolf: favorite word, achieve
Paxman: What is your favorite smell?
The_Wolf: the fishy smell of the lake after the rain
Paxman: What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
The_Wolf: my arrogance, self pride "do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves"
Paxman: What is the trait you most deplore in others?
The_Wolf: I hate when people lie to me
The_Wolf: or to others for that matter
Paxman: What keeps you awake at night?
The_Wolf: mini rounds
Paxman: haha
The_Wolf: lol - seriously not alot....worry about my fam and finances
Paxman: How would you like to be remembered?
The_Wolf: someone that impacted the world - i have a long way to go
Paxman: What is the worst thing anyone has ever said to you?
The_Wolf: I f***cked your best friend
Paxman: and the nicest thing?
The_Wolf: I forgive you
Paxman: If you could bring something extinct back to life, what would you choose?
The_Wolf: the ideals of caring for your fellow mankind
Paxman: If you could do anything with anyone for 1 hour, what would it be and with whom?
The_Wolf: Im gonna cheat on this one, I have a big enough boat
The_Wolf: I would fish with my whole fam, dad, brother, wife, daughter
The_Wolf: or do like luca and find Kiera Knightly
Paxman: hehe! What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
The_Wolf: Never give up, Never accept no as answer, Always persevere
Paxman: ok time for some very amateur psychoanalysis on my part: would you say the way you behave and carry yourself in the game, the values you stick to etc has anything to do with your desire to make an "impact on the world" which you have tried to acheive in the online world? Or am I wide off the mark?
The_Wolf: Im not sure you are far off the mark, but I never considered it. I think we have impacted this online world we call mobsterlord, but Im not sure it is the same.
The_Wolf: Ill have to think about that a bit though
The_Wolf: Hey if we can steal enough of Jimmys money though, we can filter it to some of those countries we mentioned earlier...so just maybe the end could justify the means
Paxman: hehe ok, you can leave your thoughts in the comments section later! Any final shout outs, "tipping of your hand" etc before we conclude?
The_Wolf: I think I covered about everyone although I am sure I left some out.....Those that we have recruited know who they are...come on over and join us....
The_Wolf: those in the fam if I didnt mention you, doesnt mean you are not important or special
The_Wolf: lots of new members I hardly know, thanks for coming back Lefty The_Wolf: no threats to be made - I think our future intentions are clear enough...lets get this fight out of the way and go back to normal
The_Wolf: Im sure I forgot someone that will say what about me....sorry if i left you out again
