FlameFunnyButt

Flame's a great graphic artist, I wonder what he's going to say.

[Q] I see you're a great graphic artist, what made you want to become one?
[A] One day I decided that I wanted to learn photoshop, I taught myself, and I knew that I had it in me to be one.

[Q] How much money have you made in your graphic artist career?
[A] I have made 404k by selling logos and investing from that money.

[Q] You're also in Sparrow Corp, did ColourTheory notice you or you applied?
[A] I talked to blobmista4 and he gave meow the thumbs up :)

[Q] What other positions have you gotten in clans?
[A] I owned Reign of Chaos before, if that is what you mean. I also have been in SC's eclipse corp, until I left :3

[FUN FACT] For a fun fact, I once sold a logo at 1 o'clock in the morning for 16k.

[Q] Do you have any advice for other graphic artists who want to become better and more successful?
[A] My advice is to first start as a free logo maker, and offer a free logo for your name to be on group's descirption. Then take your publicity from there, that's how I got so popular.

[Q] If you were to rate all of SpC's Developers, Scripters, Agents, would you say they're some of the best on ROBLOX?
[A] Of course, they wouldn't be there if they weren't.

[Q] Would you like to show us an example of one of your logos? We're dying to see one.
[A] http://www.roblox.com/RoC1234-item?id=87322623

Wow, that's amazing ^

Flame's Final Comments: Yes, for all those graphic designers who think they will never make it in the business, I believe in you all. I once was someone who thought I'd never get anywhere, but I managed, you can too.

He's really good. ;3

HatHelper - Interview

Yes, we've got a really famous one here. He made the game 'The Conquerors'. I can't wait!

[Q] You have made several popular games such as The Conquerors, and Try Any Item with Factories! In your own opinion, what game of yours was the most challenging/fun to make?

[A] The most challenging was probably the Conquerors. I put the most time and effort into that one, and I rescripted the entire game once(planning on remaking the game a third time before '13)

[Q] Many people have based their games off of your famous Try Any Item with Factories! As it was the first of its kind. Did anything inspire you to create such a original game? Or did it just come to you?

[A] I've only seen one semi-popular item factory game. The rest have been in GUI form, or try/ scripts. Long ago, when I was a very newbie scripter, I figured out that I could insert a wearable hat into the game with a codepad. So I scripted that, and I put it around a box and with a conveyor belt below it. From there I added to it and made other factories. The current Try Any Item is a remake of the original factories.


[Q] When did you notice that your games started becoming more and more popular, and at what period of time did this happen?

[A] My first front page game was probably ROBLOX Space Rock Miners. If I'm not mistaken, then that game got on front page by accident. I was banned for several days, possibly two weeks, and the game got random visitors, and they never left, so it got to the top of the front page by itself. From them on I wanted to have a game that would always be popular like some other people had, so I experimented with another infinite dig game, an rc city, blow stuff up for fun, and finally an rts game which stuck to visitors.

[Q] In your blurb, you explain how you became a scripter. Did anything specific help you on your way to becoming the scripter you are today?

[A] Script builders inspired me to make cool things, usually just for myself, and out of GUIs, to use in SBs. I'd ask Scripting Helpers what something was, or why something didn't work, and they'd show me what the problem was, and I'd sometimes use free models to find out how others did things.

[Q] Are there currently any goals that you wish to accomplish? If so, what are they?

[A] I want to have one of my games favorited by ROBLOX, or be awarded something for it. So far I've had roblox review the game on YT, Reesemcblox, BrightEyes, Telamon, jahrblox, and Sorcus visit it, with jahrblox favoring it, and Telamon posting a comment on the BC version.

[Q] To wrap this all up, do you have anything to say to the readers?

[A] umad

micol2242 - Interview


RAT Marshal, VS General, Spectrum Dev. - micol2242

He's a RAT Marshal, A VS General, A Spectrum Developer, the amazing micol2242


Q - "You obviously attained so much power for a reason. How did you acquire a HR position in VS, RAT, and SpC?"
A - "I got it after people figured out I was a scripter. I've been friends with Aric for a while, so I just asked him if he needed one and he let me get General for doing so. After I left UCR, Meowmixxed invited me to SpC and RAT. Good thing, because when I left UCR I had nowhere to go."
Q - "How did your clan life change after learning to script well?"
A - "The first clan I joined was VS, and I was a Captain when I began to learn how to script. After all that, I made a few training places and got Colonel, then my popularity just boosted."
Q - "Oviously being a RAT Marshal and SpC Developer is interesting, what are some things you do to maintain your Marshal rank and being a Developer in SpC?"
A - "I have been working around RAT slowly, and I just take the assignments the SpC overseers give to me and do them to keep my rank in RAT and contribute whatever I can."
Q - "Do you think you'll achieve Admiral?"
A - "If I ever devote my time to RAT completely, then I might be able to get a small chance at it."
Q - "You've said you're working a bit on Spectrum, can you tell us exactly what you're helping with, and how Spectrum is coming along?"
A - "I have been doing very small parts in Spectrum, currently the only thing I am doing is the gunblades. I plan more with 8g. Spectrum has been going very well, we are not lacking much without Unclear and everything is going smoothly."
Q - "What exactly are gunblades, if it's not confidential?"
A - "An interesting part of spectrum where there is a blade on a gun. But it's not a gun. But it is a gun. It's a gunblade."
Q - "How has being a HR in VS and RAT affected the way people think of yourself, and you think of yourself?"
A - "When I see myself as a HR in all these clans, I think that all these clan leaders and HRs are not so famous anymore. When I was an LR in clans, I use to think they were the most famous people ever, but now I'm friends with them and they are just normal people like everyone else. As for myself, I see myself as an easygoing person who scripts well and has achieved much on Roblox. "
Q - "Has it affected your personality at all?"
A - "It's affected many things, I use to be a normal person with many friends hanging out IRL, but now most of the time I'm on my computer doing nothing. It's an addiction that I have not managed to get over and have been trying to help myself with by getting outside more."
Q - "Where did you first learn to script?"
A - "I looked through some free models, went to scripting helpers"
Q - "Do you have any advice for amateur scripters looking to follow your footsteps?"
A - "No."

Squidboi2 - Interview

Vaktovian Officer and Well-known in Clan World - Squidboi2

Yeah, he's surely pretty famous seeing as the Clans & Guilds forum calls him their "Overlord".

Q - "How does it feel to be a Vaktovian Officer?"

A - "It's a double edged sword. In a way it's great to be at the pinnacle, but at the same time you feel a lot more responsibility to keep things moving."

Q - "Is it hard to maintain such a reputation as to be called the 'C&G Overlord'?"

A - "Haha, not really. That 'title' just came about from me being me."

Side-Q (related to last Q) - "You simply state your opinions, and not be mainstream, basically. Right?"

A - "Mhm."

Q - "What do you like to do when you're not working with VAK?"

A - "A few games on Steam like Med II and Civ 5. However, if you're asking what I do when not on the computer, I mostly just play Xbox or PS3 with IRL friends."

Side-Q (related to last Q) - "Do you ever play games on ROBLOX, unrelated to VAK or clans? Such as a SFOTH or a front page game?"

A - "No, not really. Maybe once a month or so."

Q - " Do you think you deserved to be Vaktovian General more than halorabbit?"

A - " I try not to dwell on that sort of thing, I personally try not to think what I deserve and leave that to other people. Such as if I truly deserve general, the soldiers will voice it."

Side-Q (unrelated to last Q) - "And for all the people wondering, what hat combo do you wear?"

A - "W inc. Clockwork's headphones and... Black skull of all eternities doom, I believe."

Squidboi2's Final Comments - "Give me your clans, I'll take good care of them."

Squid's a funny and smart man. This was an interesting interview.

AmazingAnt - Interview

Well-known in Clans and Games - AmazingAnt

AmazingAnt is very well-known in clans and in games. He got a game to the front page. I look up to him, and this is what the interview looked like.

Q - "When you got your Easter game to the front page, how did you feel?"
A - "It was actually my third front page place, I guess it was pretty awesome. It's always fun to see so many people playing and enjoying the game."

Q - "I've seen you high rank in many different super-clans, but what's your favorite?"
A - "WIJ was the only super-clan I've really been in, and become a HR. So I guess that would be my favorite, heh."

Q - "Have you ever owned a clan that got above 1k members?"
A - "Roblox Sniper Regiment, it briefly went above 1,000 members before I handed it down to a high rank at the time."

Q - "Do you own any clans currently? If so, which one(s)?
A - "Quantum Corporation."

Q - "How much time and effort to do spend on that clan a day?"
A - "Well it's very new so it requires quite a lot of effort at this stage. I am mainly building the foundations for the clan such as weaponry, bases and working on the main structure of promotions. Most of my roblox time is spent on the clan."

Q - "If you were to rate your own clan at this stage from one to ten, what would it be?"
A - "Probably 7/10 at this stage."

Q - "Do you have any advice to others who want to follow in your footsteps or get more successful with clans?"
A - "Prioritise it. To get anywhere in the clan world people need to be willing to devote the majority of their time to it, whether is be their own clan or as a member in one."

Amazing's a great friendly and honest person. I'm truly grateful he spent his time to do this.

Who will be next?

Jack705 - Interview

Ex-Vortex Security Second in Command and Well-known HR - Jack705

It's like an honor interviewing the ex-VS SiC, VS won the most active group at RGC. Let's see what he has to say today.

Q - "What was your reaction when you first obtained VS SiC?"
A - "Well, I was already in a great seat of power in VS. At the time it was during the GSC vs SGC or something like that Ro-War. So for me it meant I was sort of the ultra-war forces commander of VS I guess. And I was very excited to be there. So I guess my first reaction was excitement."

Q - "Even as currently major, does it feel nice to serve VS?"
A - "It is awesome to be in VS. Even though I am not as high in the rank of command. Everyone respects me and knows what I am worth. And I have never been happier to serve with my friends there."

Q - "What made you want to first join VS?"
A - "At the time I was an Officer in UCR, and I was pretty close friends with the president then, Trick555. And it was my first day of Christmas Vactation. And he said "Hey man, you have to check out this new clan. This is going to get big." So I joined VS on Day 1. And I was at the old recruitment center. It was just me, JGA1, Meowmixxed, and McFlick. It was great."

Q - "Have you ever quit VS and rejoined, if yes, why?"
A - "So around Jan/Feb 2011. Month 2 or 3 of VS. I was rising Colonel. And McFlick, being McFlick, shouts something along the lines of "OMG JACK705 IS A SUPPPPPEEEER SPY EXILE HIM." So he was the SiC at the time. And a VS Civil War almost broke out. The wall exploded with support for me, and I left VS and formed the Vortex Security Patriots. But after negotations with JGA, I got rid of the 1000+ member Patriots and got my rank back. And McFlick was suspended for a bit."

Q - "Do you have any advice for other VS members who want to become successful like you?"
A - "All I have to say is don't let anyone stop you, and listen to orders until you're giving them."

Well, Jack surely is a great high rank, and I will even look up to him in the time that comes. Good luck Jack in the future!

Killercorvette - Interview

Killercorvette - Well-known Clan Person

Here's another interview with a well-known person in the clan world. Let's see what he has to say.

Q - "Killer, have you ever lead a group of your own?"
A - "Well, yes. Several, actually. Well, in 2010, there came RAT Elite Forces. Wasn't really much of a clan, but I tried to turn it into that. I was a bit arrogant, and thought my attempted model making could be in the big business tech game. So I didn't last very long. Then came RIAF, but I only held onto it. I was going through a long phase of inactivity and I pretty much destroyed the group. And now, I am leading a clan known as "Imperial Legion of New France", an exclusive futuristic clan based on roleplay."

Q - "Have you ever been high rank in a super-clan? If not, have you ever been a high rank in a 'good' clan?"
A - "I have reached the rank of "Marshal" in RAT once. It was whenever that rank was temporary, so I didn't stay long. With hope and my lore talents, many Admirals say I have potential. You might see me up there again."

Q - "How much time and effort do you spend with your own group?"
A - "I'm trying to lead ILNF, so most of my time and effort goes there. I still make time for RAT, though, and with many lore projects coming up, I'll be pretty busy."

Q - "What made you want to join in being in clans?"
A - "Well, as soon as I saw the "group" feature came out, I gained interest. In December of 2009, I joined RAT led by Stealthmatt. From that moment on, clans were pretty much my major focus on ROBLOX. At the time, I just thought I could dress like a soldier and act cool. Whenever these new things called "raids" were being ordered, I played along and helped out. Eventually, I became dedicated. No time for regular games, there is always something to raid or defend. I saw it as a war game. Nothing else than a war game."

Q - "Do you have any advice to other clan members?"
A - "The clan you join is a symbol. Pick your symbols right. Whether you plan on being a RAT developer, or a Vaktovian Shock Trooper. It's all a symbol."

Short, but interesting interview. There's more to come.

DiscoHeaven - Interview

UAF Commander DiscoHeaven Interview

Yes, that's right! We've got UAF's leader, a 15k+ member group, to get an interview with us. I don't want to waste any time.

Q - "How does it feel to lead one of the most popular and biggest group on ROBLOX?"
A - "I don't feel like a leader. The only thing different between myself and another group member, is that at the end of the day, I'm the one they look to for recognition. Other than enforcing a few rules, I'm basically one of them."

Q - "What was your reaction when you obtained UAF?"
A - " I was absolutely elated. I had actually discussed the topic with the previous owner, shadowsword, the night before, and he had told me that it would be a long while before I would be given my chance to lead once again. When my leadership began the next day, I was blown away- because, just the day before, I'd had my dreams crushed."

Q - "How much time and effort do you spend with UAF a day?"
A - "I tend to wake up around 9 AM, and go to sleep around 4 AM. Maybe one, or two hours of that is spent eating. Though, of course, with it being summer break, I tend to have time to spare, all of which goes towards the people. Many people believe that the 'kids' of this game are asleep after midnight. My nightlife with UAF begs to differ. From testing updates at group places, to defending allies from invasions, there's always something to do within the group, and people to do it with."

Q - "If you were to rate your own clan from one to ten, what would it be and why?"
A - "I'm an extremely biased person, but my rating would be a 7. While many clans fail in the area of interpersonal relationships between group members and high ranks, UAF excels in that specific area, like no clan I have seen before. Though, we are currently undergoing a period of reform. And, should these reforms work as we all hope they will, the quality of our group and the overall skill of its people will increase dramatically. However, due to the 'unfinished' state of the 'UAF system', I cannot give us any higher than the before mentioned seven, on a scale of one to ten."

Q - "Do you have any advice to clan leaders out there who want to become more successful?"
A - "Instead of focusing on bringing more members in, focus on improving and creating a desirable atmosphere for the members you already have. Though it may not lead to a super-clan, which most (though, not all) leaders aspire for, it will help you and your members to be content with your group, and in turn make it more successful."

DiscoHeaven's Final Comments:
"ROBLOX is what you make it. Find something you like to do, and stick with it for maximum fun, and satisfaction, while playing the game!"

Thank you Disco, that really was a great interview. Stay tuned ROBLOX, more interviews are to come!

YeIIoJaket - Interview

YeIIoJaket - First Interview


Ok, welcome to PRI's first interview. And it's with a well-known clan ROBLOXian named YeIIoJaket.

Let's begin:

Q - "YeIIo, how did you get well-known in ROBLOX's clan world?"
A - "Well, aside from foruming frequently on the Clans and Guilds section, I was a high rank in numerous clans, such as Nightfall Clan, Sleet Clan, Imperial Legionnaires, and others. I also created RoNation back in 2008."

Q - "What made you want to join clans?"
A - "I guess it was from my interest in combat. I love all things that deal with some sort of combat with guns and such. I also had built bases for groups, which got me interested in clans and got me big in the clan world."

Q - "Out of all the clans out there, what is your most favorite and why?"
A - "Vortex Security and WIJ. Both have excellent technology and made such an outstanding growth in a short period of time."

Q - "Do you have any advice to those you want to become successful in clans and follow in your footsteps?"
A - "Don't suck-up to your superiors. And you'll do just fine."

Haha, YeIIo surely is a great guy and made a huge impact in the clan world. Who will be next? Stay tuned on Predator's ROBLOX Interviews
