This is TC’s first official staff member interview! For this particular issue, I talked with Jackson,<br />

who happily agreed to be a part of this. Here is his interview:<br />

Avaline: Okay, well, let us start off with who are you on TC and what do you do?<br />

Jackson: Alright. Well, my name is Jackson. And I am a Senior Administrator here at TC. My job<br />

is to watch over our moderators and players and just make sure everyone is following the rules.<br />

Just like all other staff members, I'll help come up with ideas for events and contests, and then<br />

carry out those plans.<br />

Avaline: So you have a rather important job, yes? What do your day-to-day activities involve?<br />

Jackson: Haha, well I guess you could call it important. So, I'll get online and see if there are any<br />

petitions I can help with. That's standard as a staff member. Then, I'll look at the chat, see what<br />

everyone's talking about. Then I'll check my TMs, see if I have any RPs to respond to. Usually I<br />

just repeat the last two steps. If I get bored, I'll look at all the chats, make sure everyone is following<br />

the rules. And then if I get really bored, I'll scan through TMs. Nothing major honestly.<br />

Just a line or two to make sure everyone's following the rules.<br />

Avaline: What's your favorite part about being a staff member?<br />

Jackson: Ooh, I don't know. I guess being a staff member, I have to talk with players more. In the<br />

past when I wasn't a staff member, I used to not talk much in open chat and therefore I wasn't<br />

much of a known player. But now I talk with everyone. I love RPing with players, so hit me up! ;D<br />

Avaline: And what keeps you coming back to TC besides staff duties?<br />

Jackson: The players, honestly. I enjoy keeping tabs on certain characters. I like to read their<br />

character developments, see who they're interacting with, super gossip. All the good stuff. But<br />

that's only if I get the sudden urge to go look. Most days I just like to be in chat conversations.<br />

Or Alec will message me for an RP.<br />

Avaline: I actually enjoy watch the RPs you and Alec do, and I know a lot of people besides me<br />

do as well. I have one last question; do you enjoy being a staff member?<br />

Avaline: I actually enjoy watching the RPs you and Alec do, and I know<br />

a lot of people besides me do as well. I have one last question; do you<br />

enjoy being a staff member?<br />

Jackson: I do. Aside from the days of problematic players, it's a pretty<br />

easy going job. What makes it best is when players and staff members<br />

have good relations, which we all have been trying to do. We've noticed<br />

improvements, but now we know we have to expand. So we're trying to<br />

think of ways to expand. We take player suggestions very seriously and<br />

often argue it for a few days if there are opposing opinions in staff. So,<br />

it can get very interesting.<br />

Avaline: It is as interesting to me as it is to you! Well, I thank you very<br />

much for allowing me to interview you! I lied, I have one more question.<br />

Do you have anything you want to say to the club goers here on TC?<br />

Jackson: Thank you for your continual support as we make changes to<br />

the website. We're making TC a better place for all. So thank you!<br />

And there you have a small insight into a Staff Member’s thoughts.<br />

There will be more interviews in upcoming issues!<br />

The idea of this article is to go<br />

behind the character and talk<br />

about them. We hope it will<br />

help you to get to know them<br />

as a person and a character.<br />

We are calling this, Behind The<br />

Character. Enjoy!<br />

(If you want to be in the next<br />

issue, text Sara.)<br />

Ahriman Nacht was a Senior Mod/Junior Admin In Training on The Complex. He tried<br />

his best being friends with everyone and doing the job to the best of his abilities. We<br />

enjoyed him on staff the best we could for the time he was there. He is friendly most<br />

of the time, can be fun, and willing to try different things. He loves music, reading,<br />

and most of all video games. He has a lot of hobbies that range from playing video<br />

games to listing to music, reading or fishing. His most favorite pastime so far has<br />

been watching Markiplier Let’s Play videos on YouTube. Sometimes he doesn't give<br />

off the best first impression and people taking him for what he is not doesn't sit well<br />

with him. Take your time to get to know him and see him for who and what he is and<br />

not what you have heard about him. People change. Just remember everyone likes<br />

to have a good time and sometimes Jamie’s idea of a good time is to goof off and just<br />

have fun with friends.<br />

Monthly Book/Movie Reviews by ClaryFray<br />

Welcome to the first book review for The Complex Times! Each month you are going to get an<br />

inside look at either a book or movie I have experienced within the last month. Sometimes you<br />

may even get both! Let me know which you prefer and if you have any books or movies coming<br />

up you would like to hear about, I'm always willing to accomodate for you the reader. So for<br />

the first ever book review in the Times I decided to give you a little insight into one of my favorite<br />

reads from February 2015.<br />

The name of the book is Wallbanger and was written by Alice Clayton. This was the first book<br />

by Clayton that I have had the pleasure of reading. This book is classified as an adult romance,<br />

and I found it to be both naughty and comedic. My overall rating of this novel was a 4.5 out of<br />

5 stars. And following is the book description as described on Goodreads,<br />

“The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes<br />

she's gaining an intimate knowledge of her new neighbor's nocturnal adventures. Thanks<br />

to paper-thin walls and the guy's athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging<br />

against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes<br />

by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed dating<br />

hiatus, and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep<br />

her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce<br />

her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon<br />

Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the<br />

walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered<br />

a whole new definition of neighborly...<br />

In a delicious mix of silly and steamy, Alice Clayton dishes out a hot and hilarious tale of exasperation<br />

at first sight...”<br />

My favorite parts in the book were following Simon and Caroline as they tried to become<br />

friends and eventually more, while having very strong opinions of how they were just wrong for<br />

one another. Yet in the end all things work out for the best. I also enjoyed greatly the scenes<br />

between Caroline and her cat Clive which gave the reader some comedic relief in just the right<br />

spots. I literally laughed out loud three times while reading such scenes.<br />

And so my overall recommendation for this book: It is a definite must read. As are all the other<br />

books within the Cocktail book series of which I myself am currently half way through reading.<br />

And with this I leave you all hopefully with a desire to read this book. And if not well then<br />

maybe better luck next time. As for me I'm now off to read some more Cocktail.
