Paxman: Name/Age/Location/Sex?Yoh-Boo: Marit / 21 / Currently Leeds, UK / Female
Paxman: Profession?
Yoh-Boo: Tourism & Recreation Management student
Paxman: interesting, what are you looking to do after you graduate?
Yoh-Boo: hmmm I'm not quite sure yet what i want to do when I'm finished with this study. Might go do a masters degree Yoh-Boo: or find a job at a tour operator, probably something to do with marketing
Paxman: oh good luck with whatever you decide! Marital status?
Yoh-Boo: thanks :) Yoh-Boo: I'm single
Paxman: ok well tell us about how you first discovered the online mafia world and how long back was this?
Yoh-Boo: I was looking on the internet for a game I used to play at uni but I couldn't remember what the name was so I was just searching some sites with names of games.
Yoh-Boo: Read the description of TMB and thought it was interesting so i decided to try it out. this was in march 2007
Paxman: oh another one who started there, and what were your first impressions of that game and online mafia gaming?
Yoh-Boo: didnt exactly know what the purpose of the game was when i started. was just doing something lol
Yoh-Boo: but it wasnt too difficult to play otherwise I would've quit after a while.
Yoh-Boo: hmm my first impression of TMB and online mafia gaming was that it had an interactive aspect to it. I was able to talk to people all over the world instead of only talking to people in the Netherlands...my home country :) very interesting
Paxman: oh so at first it was mainly a way of meeting people from abroad?
Yoh-Boo: kinda and to practise my English
Paxman: lol i think you are the first person who has given an educational reason for playing mafia games! Did any of the gaming aspects appeal to you at first or was it just the interaction you liked?
Yoh-Boo: hehe well it has to have a purpose right?
Yoh-Boo: I've always been in a collecting family so the aspect of trying to gain as much money as possible is quite appealing.
Yoh-Boo: but later it changed for TMB :) got to lead the fam I joined so that was the thing i did most
Paxman: oh so you would describe yourself as more of a collector than an attacker in the early days? what fams were you collecting for since you first started that game?
Yoh-Boo: yes deffo collector. did some attacking but it frustrates me when nobody is in range to hit lol
Yoh-Boo: I started in the Renegades union, dont know with which union we were banking with to be honest...can't remember, maybe coz i never ranked at that time hehe
Yoh-Boo: stayed in Renegades ever since...we have been with sin_city, Epic and some others and now we've been with Generation for a long time
Paxman: oh so you are still playing TMB now with Renegades?
Yoh-Boo: yep still play TMB, boss of one of the oldest fams in the union
Paxman: wow you climbed the ranks there I see, how do you find being don?
Yoh-Boo: been lucky =) I like being don of my fam, gives me something to do while building turns to either build or collect. and it gets you to talk to other people in different fams instead of only talking to your own members Yoh-Boo: it's a bit like management as well lol
Paxman: you are coming up to your two year anniversary on TMB, are there any memorable rounds you would like to recall or memorable incidents from your two years there?
Yoh-Boo: the round that i got my first and only individual rank so far there and last round when i got to be boss for the ranking fam for the last couple hours
Paxman: would you like to mention any friends you have made on TMB?
Yoh-Boo: Gissmo, Lulubeth, Deadmeat and DonJon...Daggerz as well but got to know him at another game. and welsh_man, he's always there no matter what
Paxman: ok well I believe TMB is not the only game you have played, how many others are there?
Yoh-Boo: lol I've signed up for so many I cannot count them any more. reduced them to 3 which I play full-time
Paxman: lol ok lets focus on those 3! which ones are they and for each one, what kept you playing them which separated them from the others?
Yoh-Boo: TMB, kept me playing coz it's the first game I ever played...learned how to play there. EMW, play it for the poker nights and for being able to be in a fam with Lulubeth and Gissmo again since they left mine on TMB. ML...just the best :)
Paxman: what is it that makes ML the best in your opinion?
Yoh-Boo: the interface, the people that play it and the options it has given me how to play it.
Paxman: lol ok, well lets talk about that game, what round did you first join the game and which fam did you join?
Yoh-Boo: I started playing in round 5 and joined Renegades
Paxman: oh the same fam as in TMB? Who brought the fam to ML and who brought you to the game?
Yoh-Boo: yeh same fam :) I believe Balller got Lulubeth to play and she made the fam there...she asked me to help out so I did.
Paxman: and you fell in love with the game straight away or were you still attached to the others?
Yoh-Boo: still liked to play my other games. I only joined in the last day to get the fam nw up actually lol it took me quite a while to start liking to play ML.
Yoh-Boo: I hate to get 00d and thats all I got in the first rounds
Paxman: lol yes i think that is often the case with new fams. How long did it take for Renegades to get established on ML?
Yoh-Boo: lol indeed. well the fam has been around ever since round 5 but i guess it started to grow most 10 rounds later.
Yoh-Boo: we changed boss and consig and spent more time to get the fam going
Paxman: oh who were the original boss and consig and who did it change to and why?
Yoh-Boo: Lulubeth was the original boss and I think the consig spot was rotated between DonJon and Fenris. Lulu didnt find enough time to play the game so she gave the task to both DJ and me. actually the same what happened on TMB :) we took over there as well
Paxman: oh i see, you as boss and DJ as consig?
Yoh-Boo: nah more like we're equal, work together as a team...not much difference between boss and consig for us
Paxman: oh like co-dons? Tell us about DJ and your relationship with him
Yoh-Boo: I guess so. DJ is the funniest guy I've ever talked to on these games. I can laugh a lot about what he does and says. worked together with him for ages now and can't imagine ML without him
Yoh-Boo: he's like the one that comes up with the strategies for the rounds and I'm more the one that is concerned with the other fams in the game
Paxman: oh so you deal with the relations with other fams and he concentrates on the Renegade plans?
Yoh-Boo: yes although I do have my say in the plans of course
Paxman: i see, I think most co-dons have had occasions when they dont always see eye to eye. Have you and DJ had such occasions or has it been plain sailing?
Yoh-Boo: hehe we've had our moments of disagreements but we make up pretty fast
Paxman: lol would you like to mention any of those disagreements and what they were about?
Yoh-Boo: oh its always about ranks, dont always agree with the way we've done it so far. but things will change eventually lol
Paxman: lol yes that is a common source of disputes! Mr Blonde and Prince Alex have also mentioned that they bought their families from TMB to ML with their own particular styles of play. How would you describe the Renegade philosophy?
Yoh-Boo: umm the Renegade philosophy, I'd say it is get as much as possible. in every aspect of the game
Paxman: In his interview with us, Shawn called Renegades the 'snake' family. what do you think he meant by this and how would you respond to this allegation?
Yoh-Boo: lol Shawn's interview, the funniest one I've ever read
Yoh-Boo: I actually dont know what mustve been going through his head at that time, can't say I agree with Renegades being a 'snake' family whatever that is. Don't make accusations that aren't based on true facts and take the time to look at your own actions and see what could've been the cause for behaviour towards yourself
Yoh-Boo: coz as far as I know Shawn has done some sneaky things himself and every time we find out he denies it. stand up for your actions
Paxman: what sneaky things has he been behind?
Yoh-Boo: banking up people to kill/loot his own allies/naps
Paxman: Shawn is clearly one of the most famous/infamous players on the game. What do you think of him as a player and a person?
Yoh-Boo: yes I do believe most people have heard of him, in bad and good ways i guess. as a player...he's got some good followers but in my eyes he uses them too much for his own benefit. as a person...don't know him very well, all I can say is he has to learn when to draw a line as to the things he says to people. there are times he said things to me and my friends that shouldnt be said to anyone
Paxman: ok before we continue with your personal ML story, lets take some questions on the ML community. Who would you say is the funniest person/people on ML?
Yoh-Boo: DJ, zero, mickey and deo
Paxman: can you recall any particular funny incidents with them?
Yoh-Boo: DJ always does funny things, cant really recall any that are sticking out. I talk to zero a lot on msn when he's on...just about random stuff and mickey and deo are just funny. the way they talk and what they say
Paxman: Best poker player?
Yoh-Boo: Tonyg, nobody understands the game better than him
Paxman: Smartest person and why?
Yoh-Boo: A, he always has an answer to every question I ask.
Paxman: Favorite emoticon on ML?
Yoh-Boo: lmao that's deffo the mml one Yoh-Boo: it looks so cute and happy
Paxman: lol Most annoying person and why?
Yoh-Boo: most annoying...that are the people that wont leave me alone whenever I say I'm busy...mostly they want to ask me for money or an invite to my fam at eor while it's clearly full
Paxman: Can you mention any names?
Yoh-Boo: don't like calling names but one of them is big_dogg...he's quite funny but so annoying
Paxman: Best person to talk to?
Yoh-Boo: A and Sionx, my best friends
Paxman: Stupidest person?
Yoh-Boo: Tiffany
Paxman: and reason?
Yoh-Boo: it's just the way she plays the game. I've seen her in every fam so far...never sticks around somewhere long enough...just a girl i don't like lol can happen
Paxman: Best looter?
Yoh-Boo: dont know many looters but fuckaface is a good one in my opinion
Paxman: Best Killer? and best collector?
Yoh-Boo: best killer is madness...like to see him going crazy lol and best collector depends on if you count the people that spent loads of creds to get money or just the smaller players. dj1069 is a good collector. and for the big players I'd say A
Paxman: Biggest Liar?
Yoh-Boo: ICHI
Paxman: and reason or things he has lied about?
Yoh-Boo: most things he says is just bullshit
Paxman: lol. Person/Fam you would most like to hit?
Yoh-Boo: hmm I'm not much of an attacker but if I would choose a target to hit I would choose YourBestEnemy.
Paxman: any reason?
Yoh-Boo: he's enormously childish
Paxman: lol If you could give advice to 5 people on ML, who would they be and what advice would you give to each person?
Yoh-Boo: Luca, don't stress too much when you are dealing with fam business...not good for your health lol
Yoh-Boo: Big_Dogg, try to listen to what others tell you for a change...start learning how to play
Yoh-Boo: can't believe he's a helper btw
Yoh-Boo: Shawn, learn to share
Yoh-Boo: Daggerz, please tell what you think whenever I ask for your opinion on something
Yoh-Boo: Sionx, stay as you are, perfect player :)
Paxman: Mafioso you most suspect of being homosexual?
Yoh-Boo: lol that's gotta be ICHI
Paxman: Can you tell us a secret about someone on ML?
Yoh-Boo: hmmm I know many secrets but its not a secret anymore if I tell it lol so better not to tell. secrets are safe with me
Paxman: lol not even a little secret?
Yoh-Boo: lol not secrets of others, maybe my own though ;)
Paxman: ok one of your own
Yoh-Boo: lol i know i have secrets but at the mo i cant recall any
Paxman: Most popular person on ML?
Yoh-Boo: difficult one. I think you can call A rather popular...
Paxman: Most fanciable Mafioso?
Yoh-Boo: lol nobody ever asks that question to me...Madness i guess...find uncle_ee quite cute as well. lol cant believe I'm writing this actually
Paxman: Most people tend to answer your name to this one, so feel free to give your own name too! Nicest people?
Yoh-Boo: I try to be a nice person to everybody :) Sionx and A are really nice and DHW is the sweetest. Tonyg is nice as well
Paxman: The one person you hate the most?
Yoh-Boo: hate isnt an emotion you should have over people in a game...not even in real life. if you don't like a person, just ignore him/her
Paxman: Fav thing about ML?
Yoh-Boo: There is always someone on to talk to
Paxman: Which person would you most like to join your family?
Yoh-Boo: A, we'd have the most craziest fam boards
Paxman: Do you know anyone from the game from real life, or is there anyone you would like to meet in real life?
Yoh-Boo: I dont know anyone from real life that plays the game. wouldnt mind meeting some players though. at least hope to meet Sionx one day
Paxman: Scariest person?
Yoh-Boo: lol there's not really someone that scares me. but I guess you don't want to have madness as your enemy
Paxman: Most loyal Mafioso and who they are loyal to?
Yoh-Boo: most people in my fam to Renagades
Paxman: Is there any player you would never hit not matter what happens between you?
Yoh-Boo: oh there are many people I would never hit...unless they hit me first lol just to make a statement never to do it again. but I cannot imagine ever attacking Sionx or A
Paxman: Biggest rankwhore?
Yoh-Boo: anyone that goes from fam to fam just because they can get a better rank there
Paxman: Mafioso you would most like to see a picture of?
Yoh-Boo: Daggerz, just to see who the hell I'm talking to lol or at least that he finally tells me what his name is
Paxman: Who do you trust the most?
Yoh-Boo: Sionx and A
Paxman: Have you ever made a threat to anyone that worked? If yes what was it and to who?
Yoh-Boo: I don't threaten people...maybe have done it on TMB a couple times though. always works lmao
Yoh-Boo: but mostly I don't need to threaten...I will find my way to get things done
Paxman: lol what is the threat you use there?
Yoh-Boo: lol just to say I will attack their fam if they don't kick someone out
Paxman: ok getting back to your personal ML story, what has been your favorite and worst rounds any why?
Yoh-Boo: round 34 has been the best round so far...all my friends in one fam :) worst rounds were the early ones when we tried to set up the family. bad rounds can help you to learn from your mistakes though
Paxman: yes thats true, and what would you say has been the best round for your family?
Yoh-Boo: best rounds for my family were when we worked together with Killerman and when I decided to join the baby union, from that moment everything went a lot better
Paxman: oh so Renegades are still part of that union?
Yoh-Boo: it's not really something you can call union actually. it's just strong alliances between certain fams and if the need is there you can ask for help...I hope :)
Paxman: What would you say are the strong and weak points of your Family?
Yoh-Boo: strong points are the loyal people that are part of the fam, we can build on those. as a weak point I can mention the fact that we are not that big lol and do not have any big big supporters in here
Paxman: How about the other regular fams on the game? For each one, tell us what you
think about their styles of play and the person/people in charge
Yoh-Boo: Mob, needs to have a lot of fams to get to where they are now...they're ok but can be better. I think it's Shawn who is in charge now, not doing a bad job at it
Yoh-Boo: Madhouse/slammers...good members, big players. DHW has done a great job together with madness and luca
Yoh-Boo: baby fams, friendly style of playing with nice people. A and freak work together to get good results
Yoh-Boo: fightclub, seem to be doing a good job, dont know much about what they are doing actually. rebelchick has good control over her fams
Yoh-Boo: tarantino, different style of playing from the rest. blonde and wolf have done a lot to get the fam to where it is and I hope they can keep it strong Yoh-Boo: coffee shop, unpredictable :) quite new fam...fugazi and bono did well.
Paxman: I believe you have been having an ongoing fight with 'Mr_Penis'. Can you tell us the story behind this dispute?
Yoh-Boo: No we arent having any kind of fight at all. How could I fight with such a wonderful, sweet and kind-hearted person? Almost everybody on ML finds him extremely lovable. The thing we like about him most is his maturity, intelligence and compassionate nature. If only everybody could be a little more like Mr-Penis, the world would be a much better place.
Paxman: Who would you say are your closest allies as a fam?
Yoh-Boo: in my opinion the closest allies are the baby fams. not sure what DJ thinks though
Paxman: lol can you tell us the story behind your name? what does it mean and why did you choose it?
Yoh-Boo: lol my name.. so far only hustla could guess what i meant with it. it doesnt really mean anything to me...it's just like you read it, first Yoh...and then Boo...like in saying yo to boo lol its a crazy name but can't change it since everybody already knows me with this one. Chose it coz I needed one and thought it was a nice one..
Paxman: haha Have you ever lost your cool on the game?
Yoh-Boo: lol yes a couple of times. when things get too much I can explode hehe I try not to though...the things I say at those times arent exactly the nicest things. But well...good thing is I calm down after a while again and can laugh with the others about what I said or did
Paxman: lol can you recall some of the things you have said in the past when angry?
Yoh-Boo: omg lol if you really want to know what I said ask A about one time...had a fight at the fam board and he was there as well lol. umm might have mentioned to chop ones balls off :| but that was more as a joke lol
Paxman: What do you think of admin on ML and are there any changes you would like to see them make?
Yoh-Boo: the admins and moderators on ML are the best I've seen. always wanting to help and I can count on them to call poker games =)
Yoh-Boo: as for changes, I asked for a different colour than yellow for bosses lol maybe a range of colours you can choose from yourself...sometimes I get crazy of seeing too much yellow on the fam board.
Yoh-Boo: and maybe get the option to hire protection like another game had. you pay with credits to get 6, 12 or 24 hours of protection
Paxman: How about the ranking system currently in place, are you happy with it or would you like to see any changes?
Yoh-Boo: I'm happy with the current ranking system, much better than the system in the early days
Paxman: Who would you say you have been most dissapointed by and why?
Yoh-Boo: hmm sometimes i disappoint myself by acting before thinking
Paxman: can you give an example?
Yoh-Boo: I occasionally add creds to attack someone lol without thinking will I get them back
Paxman: your funniest moment on the game?
Yoh-Boo: whenever I'm in a fam together with A, Sionx and Freak...it gets crazy then
Paxman: Ok the question Im sure you've been waiting for. Who are your friends on the game and for each person please give the reason(s) why you like them..
Yoh-Boo: Sionx, she's the best friend you can have. she knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tell anybody. she cares about her friends a lot.
Yoh-Boo: A, have the most interesting convos with him and he is there to support me whenever it gets too much for me to deal with things alone
Yoh-Boo: DHW, sweet guy and like to thank him for all he has done :) Best consig Ive ever had on TMB
Yoh-Boo: Freak, can rely on him and hope to be with him in a fam again some day.
Yoh-Boo: DJ, just coz he is DJ
Yoh-Boo: Daggerz, like his funny comments
Yoh-Boo: Tonyg, nice person, clever and taught me a lot about how to play poker
Yoh-Boo: Tazz, good and honest person
Yoh-Boo: SKOAL, he’s a nice guy and like talking to him
Yoh-Boo: Taps, sweet guy and good looter
Yoh-Boo: Jimmy, best admin ever
Yoh-Boo: Fenris, funny guy and good at poker
Yoh-Boo: Albert, he sends me funny videos
Yoh-Boo: YES, no idea who the hell that is but he’s funny
Yoh-Boo: Albo, like the way he talks about crips and bloods and stuff like that
Yoh-Boo: hustla, clever guy and can have intelligent convos with him
Yoh-Boo: Sleeper, really friendly
Yoh-Boo: ez-gunz, crazy guy with good taste in music
Yoh-Boo: mr_blonde, always friendly to me
Yoh-Boo: jun, funny girl :)
Yoh-Boo: Farls, liked working with him ages ago...also good to talk to
Yoh-Boo: krazyone, she's good at giving advice
Yoh-Boo: fugazi, only talk to him on msn when he's on but he's really funny Yoh-Boo: zero, he's cute lol and funny
Yoh-Boo: shindong, friendly but needs to get some more confidence in himself Yoh-Boo: dewa, good friend
Yoh-Boo: luca, a guy who deserves respect :)
Yoh-Boo: madness, lol crazy
Yoh-Boo: amigos, nice talking to him
Yoh-Boo: loco, is everything his name tells you already
Yoh-Boo: bono, respectful person
Yoh-Boo: pat, most loyal guy you can have in your fam and a good friend Yoh-Boo: Pistol-Pete, smart and serious guy
Yoh-Boo: mob guys, you know who you are
Yoh-Boo: uncle_ee, you can have very interesting convos with him
Yoh-Boo: emcee, it's fun playing poker against him
Yoh-Boo: I know there are more people that deserve to be mentioned but I think it's going to be too long so I stop lol. to the rest I would like to say just because you're not mentioned in this part it doesnt mean I don't like you
Paxman: wow what a long list. Im glad I decided to go eat something during that question!
Yoh-Boo: lmfao yes you should be glad haha
Paxman: What would you say has been your biggest mistake?
Yoh-Boo: my biggest mistake...allow people to get to the point that they make me angry
Paxman: What remaining ambitions do you have in the game?
Yoh-Boo: I would like to see my fam do well and get a 1st position one day, and maybe win 1st lvl3...in the future.
Paxman: Have you ever come close to acheiving this or still working on it?
Yoh-Boo: came close with the 1st fam position but that was in collaboration with others, would want to see us do it on our own. and I'm still working on the win 1st lvl3 lol
Paxman: On average, how many hours a day do you spend on the game?
Yoh-Boo: too much
Paxman: lol would you say you are addicted?
Yoh-Boo: lol yes I would say that
Paxman: Imagine you had to explain to someone who knows nothing about mafia games what it is that makes it so addictive. What would you tell them?
Yoh-Boo: the combination of trying out different strategies to get to your goal, poker games and getting to know other people
Paxman: Would you say the game resembles the real life mafia and is this an important aspect of the game for you?
Yoh-Boo: I have no idea what the real life mafia is like and it's not an important aspect to me
Paxman: ok now for the personal questions. Feel free to answer these in as much or as little detail as you like.
Yoh-Boo: oki

Yoh-Boo: I relax by listening to music, can't imagine life without music
Paxman: What single thing would improve the quality of your life?
