Interview with RippleJet

When did you join Simtropolis?

January 7th, 2004

Why did you join Simtropolis?

I bought SC4 (for myself) for xmas 2003 and must have stumbled across Simtropolis soon after that.

Did you ever expect to win the MOTM?

Never.

Why did you think you were nominated for the MOTM?

Maybe I helped one too many...

Will winning the MOTM inspire you to do more for the community?

Frankly, not really.

The best inspiration is the feedback from those I've helped and from those using my mods, and today from the members of BSC who encourage me more than anybody else.

What do you do outside of Sim City 4 and Simtropolis in your free time?

Besides modding, helping (and sometimes playing), I enjoy travelling, golfing, bowling and having fun with my kids.

What are your favorite Simtropolis moments?

BarbyW's invitation to join the BSC in february this year.

Do you have a job?

I'm a naval architect dealing mostly with stability of ships, making sure they stay upright both when damaged and undamaged in severe weather conditions.

If you were stuck on a deserted island with one Simtropolis member, who would it be?

The best friend I had at Simtropolis was Tolomar/Indisguise, but unfortunately she is no longer a member...

What has been your main contributions to the site?

I shouldn't be the one telling that...

I guess the tutorial on how to correct landmarks growing on empty lots has been well received.

Of the mods I've made so far, I think version 2 of RalphaelNinja's Census Repository Facility is my personal favourite.

Do you have anything else that you would like to share with us?

CAM...
