View Goldmonkee's PoxNora Profile (http://www.poxnora.com/users/viewprofile.do?u=goldmonkee)


Real Life First Name
Evan

PoxNora Handle
goldmonkee

Where in the real life world do you live?
Indiana; "real" Indiana, smack dab in the middle of endless cornfields.

What are some of your hobbies?
Books, movies and computer games.

What type of work do you do?
I like to think of myself as a novelist, but everything I've written has been a failure. I get by on disability payments and odd jobs.

Do you play other games, what type?
Not currently (I will be playing StarCraft 2 & Diablo 3).

How long have you played poxnora?
A couple of years; since just before the "Drums of War" expansion.

Who's your favorite PoxNora Champion or rune?
He may be a stinky old man, but the Jakei Elder has always been my favorite.

What's your favorite faction, why?
Savage Tundra; I always play the "ice people", if it's an available option in a game. I'm not sure why, I've just always had an affinity for the theme.

I think the social aspect of this game is too often overlooked and under appreciated. In Pox Nora, the barriers common to human life - race, age, class, religion, disability, gender, etc - have been shattered in favor of a common interest.

Every day, my spirit is lifted from the realization that people from all walks of life are converged here; that they are able to befriend one another and find enjoyment in each others company. That we can clash in a strategic battle of wits, but hold no hostility or hatred for each other outside of the game.

Everyone loves the nostril shot :D

[HawkFain]

you look... menacing. :)

[nafnaf47]

Everyone loves the nostril shot :D

[Tetrology]

[Vercetti]

This thread belongs to General Chat.

[Agroagro]

Congrats monkee

[nafnaf47]

does anyone care about this kind of information? just curious.

I do, I care... ugh I think this is begining to become my trademark saying :P anyway I read them all and enjoy learning a little of all the players there's always something that sticks even if I should forget I can always dig up :)

[iLonx]

Savage Tundra 4 Life! Wooo!

[Zodiac12]

At least you don't have any 'cliffhangers' in the pic, lol. I'm from rural MO, so I understand the importance of having internet, being connected to the rest of the world and digging yourself into a good game b/c their isn't jack and squat to do otherwise (that doesn't destory your liver or call you daddy eventually). I knew once Hawk put his pic up in the Green Room, the player's would be the next to 'go public'. It's a good thing to help tie this community together more instead of factionate us farther apart.

-zod

p.s. I'll be all over D3 too...if they ever come out with a release date. Do the Greens do PR for Blizzard? LOL!

[jimmie1982]

Spotlights are awesome! This is a good thing for the community to get to know players they may not already.

Also, hai Evan!

[NewsBuff]

gold; I never thought I'd say this. You're hot.

[Sepulcher8]

gold; I never thought I'd say this. You're hot.

You should see him with his moustache!

[Atreidi]

Does he get an award of some sort?
Did he land a job with SOE?
Is this a new Section ?

[LUTOMBOY]

LOL you not only live next to a cornfield but one of the biggest NAS car race tracks.... not to mention a lot of old people

[Remni]

Like I didn't know enough about him already.. =P

Hey Hawk.. why did you ask him what his PoxNora name was twice?

[Arundel]

Thank goodness that creepy mustache is gone...

Ya; especially as a (wannabe) writer, it's nice to get different perspectives on things. I can get to know people that would never get within a thousand miles of a place like Indiana.

You should see him with his moustache!


http://www.goldmonkee.com/evan.jpg

Dark picture, but I did sport a 'stache for a while. It made me look like a bum when I grew my hair out though ^_^



you look... menacing. :)

I hear that all the time. When I get to know someone in real life, inevitably they say something like "I stayed away from you at first, I thought you looked evil!"

I'm about as cuddly as they come :(

[Contextual]

I'm also an aspiring novelist from Indiana.
I think the borning-ness of the state makes you very imaginative.
Or want to kill yourself.

[HawkFain]

Fixed the double name bit and also added an index for past participants.

[Zetsu12]

interesting stuff gold... the reason you look menacing in that picture is because you look like a stuckup pretty boy. you look very different in both pictures.

[Hogbopper]

You got perdy eyes...

I love that movie.

[UgoingDOWN]

[goldmonkee]

i thought there were only ur head and nothing else in picture ^^!

Heh...I get told I look evil pretty often, I suppose I might as well be a floating head too.

In reality, I'm the type that'll stop in the middle of the road when it's raining to move a frog off of it or carry a bug outside instead of killing it. And post dark pictures because I'm so shy ^^
