Q - Why the name Dionysus?
A - I like wine, women, music and nature.

Q - Why are you here?
A - To preserve the nature of textual combat and to protect its true history from those who have been misled. Also, to promote honor, respect & justice - AKA chivalry.

Q - When & Where did you first begin?
A - Kad's DBZ/GT RPG BATTLECHAT in Multicity, 1998.

Q - What characters have you played here?
A - Melchizedek, Lordred, Cherub, Sir Corvin de la Chateau

Q - What would you like to tell people?
A - I'm not really an asshole, I just pretend to be. Actually, many people know my reputation as Dionysus the plagaristic drug induced ego maniac, but not as Goutetsu Z or Entity, names which have gathered some respect from members here.

Q - Do you still plan to post vulgar lyrics?
A - Haven't done so in a while, no. I no longer frequent these boards, nor do I generally use this name anymore. But the biggest misconception is that I left... I never left, I've just been watching and waiting for the day when I'm needed again.

I started learning TC in 1998 at Muliticity chats as Lordred aka Judah Avious (Juvious), and in the year 2000, went on an online adventure to meet as many of the original forefathers of TC that I could find and learn the different styles they invented directly. The result is the knowledge I gained and the tutorials & history I have memorized. Some of it I shared freely, and some I kept personal for those deserving & trustworthy. I was the curator of the TEXTUAL COMBAT MUSEUM from its opening until its closing, and today I wait in the shadows for a time when I am called upon...

There are fighters out there who wish to deceive you, to brain wash you into serving them so that they may become gods, so that they may cheat and take credit for something which is not theirs. That is why I am here, and why my clan is all around you. Have faith in what you cannot see, L'Order D'Ankou will protect you, even if it seems as though we have abandoned you.

I do not hate you. I forgive you, for you know not my intentions.

Q - Who do I respect most from this community?
A - Despite what it may seem, do not be deceived. I mostly would have to say... Remaeus... though I'm also quite fond of Kou, Circ, Lulu, Crim, Treize, Jadelling, and many others who probably have no idea. I purposely distance myself from people - not because I hate them, but because I love them, and because I do not wish to hurt them... I really am crazy. I have PTSD and other mental issues that can be considered a product of my environment. But for the record, I have no ill feelings towards anyone here. I love everyone with a respect that cannot be expressed emotionally or physically. Point blank, I'm an asshole lunatic, but I know how I feel.

Q - Who do I hate most?
A - Myself... though, I'm still trying to figure out who that is.

My questions would be:

Why don't you reopen the Textual Combat Museum?

Would you help in forming a Council on achieving a universal rule set for T2?

Aid me in achieving the destruction of the rogue sites that claim inaccurate information about T2?

Q - Why don't you reopen the Textual Combat Museum?
A - To understand my answer to this question, you first have to understand the reason why I closed the TCM to begin with. See, there are "fanatics" in the roleplaying community whose only goal is to steal, kill and destroy. Human nature is selfish, and some people chose to use public knowledge (exploitation) as a weapon to gain power, a higher reputation, and start brain washing the younger generations into following their own selfish beliefs. I prolly won't re-open the TCM because of my own experiences, and the wisdom I've gained from it. A wise man once told me, "Knowledge is to be sold, not told". So what I keep locked up, I do for a reason. Make no mistake, though, I do have disciples who I personally train one-on-one privately (not publicly). So I haven't kept everything a secret, I'm just very picky about who I trust.

Q - Would you help in forming a Council on achieving a universal rule set for T2?
A - I don't know about "universal" rules, I only know the "original" rules of T2, and I'm pretty sure that ruleset is still common amongst roleplayers. Why a Council would be needed is beyond me. Besides all that, what Council would have me? I'm not very social, since not most people can relate to me or my experiences. I never was much for joining movements. I'm pretty much solo, nowadays. I have private students, that's about it.

Q - Aid me in achieving the destruction of the rogue sites that claim inaccurate information about T2?
A - That... I will do... Actually, I'd prolly step one up and do even better. Rather than trying to destroy anyone's site, I'd urge others to promote a higher education, correct information, and advancement. I've been in this business for 13 years or so, and I've learned that war solves nothing. The best method is to find acceptance of noobs, blend with them, and teach them the ropes. Only then will you be able to dissolve the issue.
