Well........HELLO THERE! Welcome back Nice meeting you on Jay1

Thanks for this read V. Been here about the same time as you and I couldn't agree more that this clan/community has a growing number of people that promote a fun and friendly atmosphere for gaming and life-talk. You're not alone, btw. I too have some struggles I'm overcoming... including adulting. Being here has definitely helped me.

WelcometoFAfellowUSAcrazypersonpleasedtomeetyouhopetogamewithyousoon!

This interview is with a member I've met via Day of Infamy (DOI) and discord voice chat. He has positively impacted me the first day I met him. Very intelligent and open person. A wonderful online friend. Many people here can most likely say the same about him. If you haven't yet met this well-spoken and friendly man, here is a glimpse. Presenting... GoongalaJones (Mr.Jones, Goongala, Goon) https://fearless-assassins.com/profile/23524-googalajones/ And thank you again, for taking the time to answer a few questions with such honesty and detail. 1. Where were you born and raised? My birthplace lies in the ancient city of Alexandria, just off the coast of the Mediterranean, North of Egypt. As for the latter part of the question, most of my early upbringing was spent in the beautiful city I call home, and later, in other places. 2. What languages do you speak? Do you have a favorite? A bit of backstory about that! Ever since my younger years, sounds has always fascinated me. Hearing the different calls of birds, the sounds of animals, and even to try and imitate these voices, thus evolving into mimicking different accents and dialects on the fly. Onto the answer! Fluently, eight. They are as follows: Arabic (my mother tongue), German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Mandarin. As an Egyptian, we’re not really taught the language of our ancestors (the ones you see in hieroglyphs), but the most recent script, Demotic, is one that numerous wonderful friends of mine have helped me learn and understand through Coptic, an Orthodox Christian script derived from Demotic, whom I have the utmost respect and gratitude for. Other languages that I’ve come to learn and be able to use in conversations are Greek, Swedish, Dutch, Japanese (on its way to become on the fluency list, wish me luck!), Pashto, Swahili, Zulu, Xhosa, Hebrew and Farsi. 3. What do you like to do in your spare time (besides gaming)? Reading and writing! Started reading when I was three and a half years old, and have been continuing to do so since! Writing soon followed when I learnt to love languages. I would (and still do) read just about everything I can get my hands at any time. When I started writing, I used to love recording the narration I would recite of my writings onto old cassette tapes my dad kept on hand at home. Usually, I also like making up characters in writing and giving them a voice. Martial arts have been a staple since I was at the wee age of twelve. My routine is usually to go to a dojo (where available), do a full body workout, practice on sandbags and dummies, then spar with anyone willing! Whenever there isn’t a dojo around, I love going for runs, especially after dawn, and ending just after sunrise. 4. What are you most proud of? Being blessed with strong willpower. There are times where I doubted it when it would have counted, but looking back, it’s been what has driven this humble human to become who he is today. 5. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? The future is most uncertain, but I have faith it shall be in a most wonderful place. 6. What are your lifelong dreams? To become a knowledgeable, multi-disciplinary, disciplined human being. 7. What do you hope to achieve everyday? Making someone’s day and brain happier and smarter! 8. What is your greatest fear? No longer being able to help myself or anyone around me, especially loved ones. 9. What’s your favorite album or song? Personally, I have no favourites. Instrumentals have always been my preference, just because I feel it’s a crime to tie down the beauty of music with lyrics when you can interpret it the way you would want. That is not to say that there are a lot of great hits out there! Music, in and of itself, is also a language. It’s also a huge enhancer to when you want to start learning a language! This would be one of my all-time favourites (That’s the oud. Used to play that for about 3 years until studies got a lot more hectic) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyNXeCfPB2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGVyFbZfqdM 10. What's the last book you read? I am a HUGE film noir/detective and crime fan! Blood Test by Jonathan Kellerman. 11. What's the best movie you've seen? Series? When it comes to series, Band of Brothers, for sure! As for movies, Casablanca! 12. What’s your secret talent? Wouldn’t be a secret if it’s out there, eh? :’) 13. What’s your favorite dessert? Kunafa Nabulsia, a semolina cake stuffed with a mozzarella-like cheese in Nablus, Palestine! https://www.google.com/search?q=kunafa+nabulsia&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=L1wy6xaALyQlEM%253A%252CJsId5xSK5E_K4M%252C_&usg=AFrqEzdDQ9_IHp6OJFeHvxFhVmr7Qv0ow&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjuneO9t_ncAhUYbn0KHc3sAi0Q9QEwAHoECAUQBA#imgdii=ytyLLpB2zkYewM:&imgrc=SPSb4_UD7rbJoM: Long link, but worth it! 14. Favorite Beverage? Lemonade (Or anything citrus, really) 15. What’s something that will always be in fashion, no matter how much time passes? Bow ties! 16. What’s the most interesting conspiracy? The Internet being the centre of our lives. 17. Do you know a good joke? What’s the best thing about Switzerland? I don’t know, but the flag is a big plus! 18. Choose: Be deaf or be blind? Blind. 19. If you were an animal, which one would you want to be and why? Polar bears! They’re cute, but dangerous when threatened. If they weren’t fictional, I’d pick a dragon. Majestic and wise. 20. If you could choose one superhero power, what would it be? The ability to heal serious and fatal illnesses. 21. Have you ever been in love? Indubitably! 22. Have you traveled? If so, what’s your favorite destination? Travel is food for the soul! Thus far, it has been the Himalayas within Nepal! Spent a wonderful two weeks in a cabin up there with relatives! 23. Can you tell us a little about your experience with the military? Whilst it is compulsory for Egyptian males to be enlisted upon turning eighteen, I’m the only male child of my parents, and I have a sister. Therefore, I’m partially exempt from service, but I’m still tied to the military. However, I was a INTERPOL field officer for the good part of two years, mainly in crime scene investigations. Started out as an intern during my second year of college, and after much studying and training, I was given a service badge and pistol. I am no longer a part of the organisation presently, but I do help out as a consultant from time to time. 24. Why join FA? The wonderful people! Ever since I joined the DOI server, the deep sense of camaraderie and community was at every corner, whether in any form of chat, or the countless fun to be had! 25. What is your most memorable moment in FA? Crawling through Crete Stronghold in DOI, as well as Cards Against Humanity! 26. Which server is the most fun? The one and only DOI #1 Recruiting Server 27. Have you met in person, FA/non FA players? The only =F|A= member I have met would be my bestest best friend of almost ten years now, Chaos the Golden Dragon, but I have it as my mission to meet as many of the exuberant people of the clan as possible! 28. Any strange stories since your joining in April 2018? Meeting Major Stalvern and finding out he’s the long, lost, British brother I never had would be one of them! 29. What piece of advice could you give to noob members? Be who you are, be kind, you’re part of a family. 30. Any role models in the clan or people you look up to? Sis, RedAngel, Neuro, Verillaxus and d..x, for sure! /end

Thank you Vixy for taking the time to answer these questions! My goal for this interview is to have members and non members get to know her because she is not only an awesome FA member who's been around for some time now, but also a spectacular human. To kick off my hopefully series of interviews... based in Portland, OR, USA... Presenting: https://fearless-assassins.com/profile/13388-leftwingvixen/ 1. What do you like to do in your spare time besides gaming? * I like to read crime-related novels and watch Crime Drama movies, I'm heavily influenced by 1970 culture and love the thrill of chasing criminal psychology on a medical level. I also like to sketch using graphite or use some of my oil paints, I also write journal entries that I hope to collaborate and publish one day! 2. What are you most proud of? * My ability for my heart to keep beating, it has gone through hardships but has overall became resilient over time. As long as I'm not six feet underground, I'm grateful and proud of everything and everyone that has made my life what it is. 3. What are your lifelong dreams? * [rubs paws together] OKAY. Currently, I graduate Mortuary School next Summer, in which I will have an Associates of Mortuary Science. From then on, I’d like to continue working for my funeral home as I chase a Bachelors and/or Masters in Pathology [the study of disease]. I’d like to research into eventually becoming a Medical Examiner [physician], however my Plan B if I can’t get to Medical School would be to go into Death Scene Investigation or Forensics. I also hope to own a dog and a Cadillac Hearse one day. All the while becoming more proficient in my pole-dancing skills, I enjoy entering in competitions and hope to actually WIN one one day and become a centerfold for a local, Portland trade magazine -- just for my own ego, if anything. 4. What do you hope to achieve everyday? * To learn something new everyday, whether from life or school, and become one step closer to my goal(s) stated above. 5. What’s your greatest fear? * To die not on my own terms, suddenly/abruptly. I have many things to experience and people to love! 6. What’s your favorite album or song? * One of my favorite albums is AM by Arctic Monkeys, 2016-ish. I get to see them in October! I also enjoy the album How to Become A Human Being by Glass Animals. I have too many individual songs I adore -- I dance to damn near them all. 7. Early bird or night owl? * Night owl, definitely. I have diagnosed insomnia, so I like using the night time to limit my distractions I have during the day to focus on my art. 8. What's the last book you read? * Coroner At Large by Thomas Noguchi. The second book of his Coroner series, Thomas Noguchi is a Japanese-American physician who was the Chief Medical Examiner in Los Angeles from 1967 - 1982, making him responsible for taking care of high-profile autopsies such as Janis Joplin, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, and Sharon Tate. I like to learn to what he has to say, in hopes of adopting some of his tips to when I eventually get into the field too. 9. What's the best movie you've seen? Series? * The Usual Suspects [1995], surprise surprise, a crime drama. I don’t believe ‘series’ can be quality when there’s multiple additions. It’s cute when some people name themselves Keiser Soze on the server, based from the movie. I also enjoy Seven [1995] and American Beauty [1999]; basically anything with Kevin Spacey makes me want to lick the screen. Other favorite flicks are Lucky Number Slevin [2006] and Harold and Maude [1971]. 10. What’s your favorite dessert? * MOTHER-FUKKEN CHEESECAKE. New York Style. 11. If you were an animal, which one would you want to be and why? * I feel if people don’t know my answer to this, they don’t know me very well at all. [Fox.] 12. If you could choose one superhero power, what would it be? * To be able to telepathically lift objects. It would be a lifesaver when lifting the deceased in the prep room to clean under them as well as casually floating objects my way that I’m too lazy to reach for, like the television remote. 13. Have you ever been in love? * “I still love everyone I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.” -- Uma Thurman 14. Have you traveled? If so, where’s your favorite destination? * Yes! I’ve been to America [since I live here], Canada, Ireland, Scotland, France, England x2, and The Netherlands. Strangely I haven’t gotten a chance to go to Mexico. One of my favorite destinations would be Amsterdam, everyone seemed like they were on vacation and I loved smoking a joint publicly in a bar whilst working on my Mortuary Law homework, half a world away. 15. What made you join FA? * The community! I fell in love with the unified sense of pride that the members of F|A exuded, and I felt I would have been a good addition to heighten morale on the server and become a dependable admin. 16. What is your most memorable moment in FA? * Tipsy !disoriented me and told me he wouldn’t fix it unless I got at least two kills with the panzer. The first respawn I did, I got a double kill. HA! 17. What server is the most fun? * Jay1 all the way. Where the jokes are made up and the frags don’t matter. 18. Have you met other players from America? * Yes! I have met and hung out with EvilButters [and met his very nice family], had dinner with Sleepy in Salem, OR about 4 years ago, had dinner with Leon_S_Kennedy in Los Angeles last year, and Humpty lives near me so we’ve hung out and went to the movies and he supported me from my show. TheAbbot and Elk live near my hometown in Southern California yet I haven’t gotten to meet them yet. I’m probably missing a few, but I always enjoy meeting fellow players. 19. Any strange stories since your joining in December 2013? * If there wasn’t any strange stories I would lose interest fast, but none I can actively recall. 20. What piece of advice could you give to noob members? * Rome wasn’t built in a day, be patient and use good communication skills when addressing a potential problem or suggestion. 21. Any role models in the clan or people you look up to? * I’ve always looked up to RedBaird for his Service in the country and the experiences he’s faced. I also love RedAngel, Audrey, Neuro, Hecken, Phobia, DD, and AcidParadox. All of these members have made me feel welcome and included, while I enjoy all of their company. Oh and I GUESS Tipsy.
