Matthew: Hey Raple, thanks for taking time to do this interview with me! How has your week been?
[MPGH]Raple: It's honestly been pretty great, just recently got a 95% on one of my college midterms, how are you?
Matthew: That's great! I'm fine, thanks for asking. I have heard you have gotten GM recently congrats! Has anything else happen in your life recently?
[MPGH]Raple: Yes actually, our family dog was recently rushed to the vet for surgery. He was attacked by a stray cat and ended up losing his eye, but he's back to his former happy self!
Matthew: Aww sorry to hear that, glad he is okay. I wanted to ask you, what made you join MPGH initially and what made you stay?
[MPGH]Raple: Well originally I joined to find Realm of the Mad God Hacks and that's about it, but I ended up staying to try and get staff one day. I have a passionate hobby for moderating and managing forums, and have done it almost my entire life. I started around when I was 7 as a moderator on a Runescape Private Server. That's actually where I was prior to MPGH, on a server called RS7 as a global moderator.
Matthew: We all loved your presence in the RotMG section, glad you did stick around! As I mentioned above, you have recently gotten GM, how has being a staff member of MPGH changed your life?
[MPGH]Raple: A lot of knowledge, that's for sure. Being a Global Moderator is tied with a huge amount of responsibility, and just having a rank in general can teach you so much about teamwork, time management, and as a minion how to spot malicious files, and break down code. MPGH is definitely a place to learn real, valuable life skills.
Matthew: That is definitely something I can't deny, I have been on MPGH for a while now and have already learned so much and met a lot of interesting people. Last question, if you could have gotten GM sooner, would you take that opportunity?
[MPGH]Raple: Absolutely, especially now after I have gotten it and melded right into the system. In my personal opinion, having more to do makes me more inclined to stay busy on MPGH.
Matthew: I guess that is a good way of looking at it, is there any one you would like to give a shoutout to?
[MPGH]Raple: Shoutout to my GM boys @
