Note: this interview was conducted during Penguin's term as Prime Minister.
Hey, would you be open to doing the interview today or tomorrow?
Sure 
I’ll provide you with a list of questions that I will answer and the answers is to said questions
Nice, so convenient!
First and foremost being : Am I awesome? - “I don’t want to brag and I’m awfully humble but yes I’m totally awesome." Pie is the best everyone should have some you can pay me for it because it’s not free unless I like you and then you get a small slice.
This term has some bumps but I think we can finish strong (this was conducted during last term)
I’m totally glad that I’m just here in TSP because I think TSP is so much better with me in it.
First question: cake and pie has been a debate you've been at the center of, but where do you fall on the waffle-pancake divide that gets worse everyday?
Definitely waffles - Always waffles. There’s just so much more you can do with waffles that you can’t do with the pancakes because they are just gross.
Some are calling for french toast to have a seat at the table? What do you say to these people?
It is a dinner breakfast and dessert and a lunch item even. French toast is good but only when there’s a storm brewing.
Speaking of brewing, how do you take your coffee?
I don’t drink coffee it’s Cocoa or tea or Dr Pepper or if I’m feeling like I want to die that day the Swiss chocolate Java monster.
I tried one of those the other day after you drew my attention to them, pretty good.
I shouldn’t drink them but every once in a while I need to pick me up and they’re freaking amazing.
What are your plans to make all the other GCRs bow to you in your quest for game domination?
I plan to use my Penguin charms and inform them that the smartest thing they can do is bow down before TSP because I am Empress Queen Princess Lady Penguin: Prime Minister and we’re just better than them.
What did you think of NS at first when you started playing?
Pies above that was three lifetimes ago. I’m still here though so I guess i liked it.
So you're telling me clicking on the link to NS didnt make Max Barry's laughing face appear before you?
Dude the first time I signed up was in high school - and then like 10 ish years ago i don’t remember lol
Haha yeah that didnt happen for me either
[A week later mid conversation]
We also must finish our interview
Okie dokie dollface, ask the hard hitting questions. such as:
Am I Fabulous? - Well OBVIOUSLY the answer is yes
Am I the Best Leader TSP has had in recent months - Again Duh :slight_smile:
What else do you need?
You're trapped in an endless hall of mirrors, do you try to climb out through the roof or dig out through the ground?
Heavens no! I will simply sit and stare at my beauty until someone comes to rescue me.
Oh so close but sorry the twist at the end of the episode was that you were a mirror too!
:face_with_monocle: :scream: :sob:
People have been critical of the Cabinet under your lead, do you think that this is because of the nature of the Cabinet and its secrecy?
No. I think it is because of the "lack" of things happening this term. We aren't secret we are Government.
Ok, what is your favorite part of being PM so far?
Helping TSP. It has been a bit of a rough go for a while, what with 2020 being what it was. But I am doing my best, and will continue to do my best and try for better to help TSP say Penmazing!
Did you consider going by pengwen at first? I kinda wish i had chosen a rarer word for my name myself lol
No never. Penguin has always been Me.
Where do you see TSP heading?
Honestly? I am not sure. I hope that we are heading for Wonderfully awesome things but as swell as it would be, I can't predict the future.
What is the next big thing for you as PM?
I don't know. I am hoping that we can finish getting the new ministries set up and set a standard for them and try and get more people to engage. At the end of the day I am here to serve TSP to the best of my ability. I don't know what that may entail in the future but I will be here for the next 9 years (or how ever long it takes to end the world).
Tsp has been dealing with the transition to defenderism for a while, what are your thoughts on our progress?
I think that we are doing really well. I know that there are those who feel like we can/should be going and doing more but for what we are doing I think it is swell.
What does TSP need to work on?
Activity. But there is only so much we can do about that. And making this place feel like Most opinions matter. I say most because the hateful stuff can be left in the gutter, it isn't needed here. No one should be afraid to bring a topic of conversation up. (Again within reason)
What kind of events would you have in TSP if you could?
I would try to host the Getting to Know You event that Seraph started that MoC has “taken” over - or a friendship event with new friends who would support our ideas and causes. I REALLY love the idea of a book club thing (that I tried to get going with TSPU but it didn’t seem to work :frowning: or a movie night once a month or so. Things like that that get the people involved without being OVERLY political.
I think that those are great ideas! What movie would you want TSP to watch?
I mean I have so many!! The Outsiders is my favorite book and even though the movie is cheesy I love it - or like Donnie Darko but I don’t know if the children could handle that… There’s a list lol - maybe start a Marvel series watch? That could be cool.
We've only just left 2020, do you have any words of encouragement for the players who didnt have a good year last year?
Pies above 2020 was SO hard for SO many people. Myself included. TSP really helped me not fall into (too many) bad habits or even in on myself. We are a community that supports each other and are here for each other and even though I don’t think any of us are trained professionals. Do not be afraid to reach out even if it’s just to have an interaction for the day or if you need words of encouragement or even if you just want to vent my DM‘s are always open. I might not see it right away but they’re open. In the words of Bill S. Preston, Esquire, and "Ted" Theodore Logan: ”Be Excellent to each other and Party on dudes!”
Ok so as PM, am or pm?
PM mostly. I like the night life - I like to boogie.
You've talked a lot about cake v pie, but I see an important rivalry between pudding and yoghurt, any takes on that one?
Chocolate pudding beats yoghurt every time.
Chocolate yoghurt?
No
The administration this term has been able to bring the PfS into being, do you have any comments on this groundbreaking and important deal?
I just have to say that I am incredibly proud and supportive of Omega. He was phenomenal in bringing this all together and if this is the future of TSP I am happy to stand behind it.
People in the region will know you're a big fan of minced oaths, but what about ground, chopped, or crumbled?
Used properly, an oath can come in many forms. :wink:
What is your favorite kind of penguin? What is your favorite kind of pen?
I am my favorite Penguin. And sparkle pens are nice but I prefer a nice blue.
