I appreciate both, but electronic sounds is #1. I don't know if it's the sounds themselves that the synths can make, or if it's the melodic composition behind it, but electronic takes the cake.
The people. I've met some really good friends on EM and since some of them are still here, naturally I will be as well. I also enjoy participating in new projects or creating them here, whether it's hosting ORGs, the Olympics, or sharing my knowledge on the game that I love. I would not be feeling the same way doing this with people that uhh, I don't connect with as much.
...
The biggest reason however, is that I can say that I truly feel like I'm at home here, which cannot be said for anywhere else, both in other online communities and in real life. So that's why I'm still here and I don't see myself leaving anytime soon.
Good question. I prefer playing on my main more often than not, because I do enjoy the already established relationships I have with people and not having to start from scratch each time.
Also an ego thrust here, but I do enjoy the challenge of playing the game where everyone already knows about my capability as a player, and having to find a way to still make it to the end despite that. Sometimes this meta is undesired though, and that's when I'll choose to play on an alt instead.
2. Tough question. I joined the EM survivor community when I was 16. I'm 22 now, and I may not have the most objective memories of 2012 vivor lobby. I'll always have fond memories of the vivor lobby when I first joined, especially b/c of the new experience it gave and the people I met.
I believe we've had several improvements. The community is less circle-jerky, strategic discussions are much more in-depth because votes take more than 2 minutes now. The challenges are better, although I do miss some of our old broken challenges such as chutes (fun fact, I'm the one who repaired it!!!), alphabet bomb and scratch my back.
We also have our own vivor lobby now which is much better than having to deal with sandboxers entering our games and suiciding in them. We have our own threads, the community is booming, and we don't need to wait for long periods of time for games to fill/having to advertise our games on lobby walls.
If there's one thing about the games today that I don't like, its the blacklists. Back then, people would always stay for jury.
I think the future of this lobby is promising, as long as lucid doesn't pull the plug on EM or anything like that.
1)What do you think of Justin Trudeau 2)Considering you've been here since the start basically, what do you think of the lobby today compared to the past, and of the lobby future.
I mainly listen to English music. French music (at least in Quebec), for the most part, doesn't work for me because they care more about the voice & lyrics more than anything else, the instruments take a backseat. So you get a lot of folk-ish music which I don't care much for. I listen for the beat and melodies, not the lyrics.
Meanwhile in American music, the vocals are treated like an instrument and there is much more care put into the general mix and making groovy tunes. The lyrics take a backseat and that's fine with me.
