PA Member Spotlight December 15, 2009 - adam7
« on: December 15, 2009, 07:20:20 AM »


When did you join Club Pogo?
2/20/2002 (Pogo)... 4/14/2004 (Club  Pogo)

How many games have you finished?
As of last count, I have completed 42 Games... and I am all up to date with Jigsaw Detective

Do you try and finish challenges on the day they come out?
I typically try to completed the badges on Wednesday, however, with work and school, this is not always possible.  I love challenges... either games I don't like playing and/or 'hard' badges (i.e. 2003 badges) are ones I really enjoy, since I typically can't complete them on Wednesday...

Who is your favorite Pogo character? Why?
I guess Spike... he has been around for a long time and has been used in so many different ways.

Do you have a favorite game?
My favorite game depends on the day/week and what I am trying to accomplish... My previous 'kicks' have been Texas Hold em' and Squelches...

If you could offer Pogo a suggestion of a new game and/or an existing game to get ranks, what would it be?
I would love to see some of the 'sport arcade' type games to get ranks (i.e. football and baseball)

How did you come to find Pogo Addiction?
I couldn't even tell you... It's been a while (7/26/2005)... I believe that I was the 61st person to register for the site and last time I checked, we have over 41,000 registered members

What is your favorite thing about the forum?
I have 2 favorites: 1) Being able to learn information about new games/badges in advance... 2) PA Badges...

Give some words of advice to the newer PA members?
I would say, if you don't know ask... but please READ... chances are the question is one or two posts higher...

When you come to the forum, what do you do first?
I always look for new posts or updates to posts, unless I have a PM and then I read those first.

How are you enjoying being a BA of the Quickfire Challenges?
It is something new everyday and without Flaricka (Dolores) we would have no QF's... She is the brains (and beauty) behind the operation... I'm just here to help :)

A Pogo Genie offers you 3 wishes, what do you wish for?
1) Ability to have rooms to yourself in games like Bingo... I hate when someone comes into a room where you are playing by yourself (when there are other empty rooms)
2) Removing the 'random' gifts (i.e. Tokens for completing safari in Mahjong Safari)... Getting picked is completely random and not everyone reads the chat, so if you don't give or get thanks, people get really upset...
3) The ability to stop the 'fighting' in chat... If someone comes in and says something you don't like, leave them alone... when everyone jumps up and down screaming that "your mean", all it does is make the person what to continue... If you don't like what someone says, mute them and play your game...

According to your picture you provided, it snowed in Las Vegas. How fun (or not fun) was that?
I had a blast... They closed our office almost 2 hours early... and after I got home from work, which took forever (a normal 15-20 minute drive took almost an hour)... I went upstairs and put on my winter clothes... then made a huge snow man (which lasted for 3-4 days) and had a snow ball fight... for a kid from Miami, I had a great time...

If you could go anywhere in the world with anyone in the world, past or present, where would you go and with who?
I really want to travel to Europe and I could not go without my family...

What do you like to do when you aren't on Pogo or PA?
What do I like to do... Well, I spend a lot of time working and going to school... I am currently working on my second Master's degree (MBA)... When I'm not doing either of those or Pogo/PA, I hand out with my friends and family and watch/play sports

Do you have any siblings?
I have an older sister who is expecting her first child... By the time this is posted, I could be an uncle.

What kind of car/truck do you drive?
I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport...

Have you seen or met any celebrities in Las Vegas?
Yes, it is very common to see famous people in Vegas, but I do have a really good story... My sister and her friends where in town for a wedding (about 30 of them) and we went to dinner at an Italian restaurant at one of the casinos.  During dinner they play 'club' music and typically show movies on TV's (without the sound).  Well, they stopped playing the music and starting playing the end of the movie 'The Departed' with the sound... If you've seen the movie, it's the elevator scene, well next thing we know, the clip ends, and standing next to us is Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.  It was an extremely cool experience.

Which holiday is your most favorite? Why?
I would have to say Thanksgiving, since it is typically spent with my Family/Friends... and we get to watch football!!!

In closing, tell us more about yourself and something we don't know about you.
I think most people know a lot about me... at least if you ask, I'll tell you... I am originally from Miami, went to college at Florida State (FSU) and then moved to Las Vegas to get my masters at UNLV...

A good pick for this month's spotlight.  That's a neat picture in the snow. I enjoyed reading more about you and putting a whole person with the name (altho your Jib Jab was funny).  Thanks for sharing, and keep those QuickFires coming!

Great Interview, Adam.

The picture with the snow is so .... odd!  Not every day you see a palm tree covered with snow.  You must have had a blast!!!

That you're working on your second Masters is lauditory ...

That you've max out in so many games is amazing ...

But that you're actually caught up in Jigsaw Detective is ... awe-inspiring!!

Nice to learn a little more about you, Pard!
