Our first interview is with XGC Hylander XC, I hope you enjoy our conversation, it was a lot of fun.
Bunny: I m a bit nervous.
Hy: A concerned "Why"
Bunny: I don't want to screw this up.
Hy: He Laughs, something he does often.
Bunny: " I wanted to do this interview because everyone wants to know about you. Is that cool?"
Hy: "Who"....."No really, thats why I m here. I enjoy helping everyone, it's what I do." he pauses and adds, "What but bugs me is someone sending 5 messages during a game. I WILL get back to them AFTER the game. Thats why we are here, to play"
Bunny: "I m going to get right into the important stuff. What's with the Anti Bunny Club?"
Hy: laughs. "Thats just a joke. It started out between Syn King and I during a game. Some guy was talking about bunnies and world domination, before long The Anti Bunny Club evolved in much the same way as the Ninja Gerbils and Stolen shipments of pink thongs. We don't hate bunnys"
Bunny: (Im not buying it) "Speaking of Pink Thongs, whats with the Pinkness?"
Hy: "The Pinkness, that goes back to when I was Captain in Good Game. Thats when I started getting serious about it all. What am I suppose to do as Captain? I researched it and eventually became General and then XS. I had 5 clans, then 7, eventually it became 17. In order to keep those guys in order, get their squad list done on time, stuff like that, you can't reach out and smack them for idiotic stuff, you would make them go Pink for the week. It's always been a joke. They knew they screwed up, and if they wanted their color back, they had better have their squad list on time. It makes it fun, the same way crouch walking is. We use crouch walking when someone gets promoted or as an initiation. It's always been about having fun."
Bunny:" The Sig, 'There Can Be Only 1?' "Thats true, it's Me."
Hy: "No way, the Bunnys are going down. Seriously it is a great Sig."
Bunny: "It is. (except for the headless bunny) When your scrolling through the forums, it really is beautiful."
Hy; "I like it. I have a couple I switch back and forth."
Bunny: "You've been a Community Leader for a year now, what are you most proud of?"
Hy: "Has it been a year? Wow...well I made a bunch of people leave and Kicked the rest out. No really, I think it's a better community, stronger, better. Training of the Generals and Section Leaders. We made Syn, stronger. Cleaned that up and we went for about 25 clans to over 40. I m proud of that."
Bunny: "We just had XGC's 3rd anniversary, Where do you see XG in the next year?"
Hy: "World Domination. Bigger, Better. We are not just that Halo Clan anymore. We've focused on the members and the community. The leaders here have lives, this is a hobby, it's hard work, it cost money to run the site, multiple gamer tags, stuff like that. We want to do more, have plans for more, but it's hard to fit life in and all we want to do for XGC. Take the Generals classes for example. It's 2 straight nights of classes. I'd like to do it more often, but can't always fit it in. I give up my game time because in the long run it makes us better."
Bunny: "We understand that Only with leaderships approval, members who have left the community can return. What designates who can and who can't return?"
Hy: "The rule, You leave and you don't come back STANDS, unless your an asset to the community. Whats best for the Community always comes first, And then there are the people who were wronged. We always want to correct the wrong. I would love for everyone to come back into XG, but we don't recycle drama. If you cause drama, you won't cause it again.
It's in the Honor Code, go back and reread it. The Honor Code is what sets us apart form everyone else. Other clans come in and copy and paste it from us. Some twist it to make it judgmental, but we like it the way it is. Some members who have come back have changed, grown up, added whole clans to the community. It's a better place when that happens."
Bunny: "An XG member kicks on his laptop, hits up the site, goes to his profile and sees you visited. I guarantee you he goes hot and cold all at the same time. Do you know you do that?"
Hy: " ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
Bunny: "No, it's happened to me"
Hy: " You know we do monitor for good. We do random checks as Admin. We sometimes hear about people who others think are doing great things in the community. We want to see for ourselves.
We've only banned 600 people from the site. Instead of removing someone for just being dumb and not really breaking the honor code we do a temporary ban on them versus kicking them out of the community.
Also, we do ban people from the site for short periods that do not get kicked out at all. Some get kicked out and are still on the site if they don't break the rules of the site.
Some people try to trick us and use different tags or computers. Those are the real trouble makers. We block trouble makers."
Bunny:"I looked up your bungie stats. Over 2000 games of H3. Most kills with a B.R. (Bunnies Rifle), nice, What surprised me was the 2 CONE KILLS. Did you know you had those."
Hy: "Im deadly with a cone" "I didn't know that. Does everyone have that?"
Bunny: "No, not many. The only other person I know who has 2 is XGC Wardawg XS."
Hy: "It would be nice to get him in a game and Cone kill him. I'd be ahead then" he laughs. "We need to make a Cone Kill leader board."
Bunny: "Do you ever get to "just play" with your friends?"
Hy: "Me?, No. Work and life keep me away more than issues with the community. And a lot of my friends play other games now."
Bunny: "Over in Dear Bunny, we call you the Great Scott, are you cool with that?"
Hy: Laughs a lot. "Yes, it's cool." "I take XG seriously, but it's still a game and we are all here to have fun. I like being 'sarcastically evil' for fun. When I m being serious, believe me, people know."
Bunny: 'Are we still friends?'
Hy: " Yes"
Bunny: "Am I going to lose my little bunny head?"
Hy: "No, your going to be fine. I won't take your head. Maybe an arm. No wait, then you can't game. Thats not good. How about a foot. Oh thats better, thats good luck." he laughs while he starts a game.
Bunny: Hummm.....
