My name is CaptC, this month's journalist! We are interviewing a relative newcomer to the game this month, CaitlinCumgusher!
1. Hi! How are you? Please tell us your username, and the servers you play on. Tell us - what motivated you to choose the name and server(s) for your star?
Hi everyone, this a monumental step in my career as I gain more fans and people starting to notice me, so it is a great pleasure to take some time from my busy schedule to do this interview today, my name is Caitlin Cumgusher, or just Cait for short, I am on the UK2 server, and chose this name as I guessed it sounded more porn star like than my actual name.
2. Tell us about yourself. How was your life before becoming a pornstar?
I was just a regular girl working hard in a office, everyday I would wander past shoe stores and dream of the day I could afford to just walk inside and buy every pair of heels there were, because as we all know shoes maketh the girl, so obviously a porn star career could fulfill that dream for me.
3. Any hobby outside of the film-industry you would want to tell us about?
Sshhhh.... I am trying to take over the world from above, actually one thing people here do not know about me is I start University soon to study Astrophysics. As a famous Russian Scientist in the early days of the space race said, "If you control space you can control the world"
4. Who's your favourite pornstar? (i.e. Clara Morgane, Katsuni, Evan Stone)
Oh gosh, that would be a admission that I have looked wouldn't it?, Could you imagine this sweet innocent girl doing something like that?..... but... well, let's just say Aaliyah Love, she empowers every girl in the industry, to shoot a film with her would be a dream come true.
5. How did you start playing Big Bang Empire? Did you hear about the game from your friends, or maybe an advertisement?
Sometimes between studying I would play simple flash games online, and this ad appeared for it, at first I thought it would just be a bit of fun, and has soon turned into a addiction.
6. When did you start to play Big Bang Empire?
I am still what people would call a newbie to the industry, I have been in this career for about 3 and a half months now.
7. Do you remember the day you started playing Big Bang Empire?
Not as much, as I was still trying to learn what to do, but the forums were a great help
8. Do you remember your first days as a "noob" in Big Bang Empire? Tell us something!
Oh god... Unfortunately yes I do, I would get my backside handed to me in duels, fail missions constantly, some days I would want to smack my head against the screen in total frustration at things, I would say to myself this is stupid I hate this so much, but I would keep coming back.
9. What do you like the most in the game?
REVENGE.....ha ha ha, actually I spend a lot of time calculating missions and rewards, watching and recording duels to see where I need improvement, I write a lot of notes all the time as I slowly become stronger, and there is something really satisfying about when you get your backside kicked being able to retaliate at a later date. (Yes, I can be evil)
10. When you log in to the game, what do you do first?
Actually I first log into the forum and catch up on any news, then in the game I collect my pay for the day, start a film (as obviously it is how I earn my living now), check my mail, start a mission, then go to my studio for any news, and a chat.
11. What are your favourite items?
That is a silly question, SHOES, SHOES and more SHOES.......
13. Is there any special moment in your career as a pornstar you would like to share with us?
Well obviously finally having my career recognised and getting a exclusive interview here, but seriously, I started my career without a studio, working hard to produce films and make a name for myself, then someone from my current studio approached me with a really well written and polite message about joining their studio, I did have offers prior to that but they were like copy and paste messages, and this person wrote to me directly, and with a name like STARSHIP ANDROMEDA, and my love of all things space how could I say no to that, I was soon promoted to a Producer, then studio treasurer, and my proudest moment becoming Minister of War.
14. Do you have an anecdote you'd like to share with us? A fun quote from a co-player perhaps?
One thing we try and do in our studio is greet people in their own language, being from Australia I always get G'Day, we have a girl from the Czech Republic so it is Ahoj, and a American girl, so I always think of the American cowboy movies with Howdy.
15. Is there something you'd specifically like to achieve in the game?
My biggest dream is to make the top 10 in the Big Bang Awards, each week I put in a lot of extra effort to make a special movie for the awards, I fight with my production company not to use one of their silly titles and demand my own, which of course I get my own way with that.
16. In your opinion, what is your greatest achievement so far in Big Bang Empire?
There has been so many great moments in my career so far, but my biggest achievement was when I joined my Studio STARSHIP ANDROMEDA (Slipped in a subliminal studio plug there) we were ranked in the high 90's of the studio rankings, we compiled a strategy together, and worked really hard both physically and mentally, and shoved ourselves into the top 40, but I still think there is greater yet to come.
17. Have you set any particular goals to achieve?
Each week I set myself small goals to achieve, I really prefer not to share them too much, as I do not want to let certain secrets out, but stay tuned and if you watch carefully you might actually guess them.
18. Have you taken part in a convention? What's your best position in which to qualify?
My first convention I threw everything at it, and came in first place, but to be honest the rewards were not that great to the advancement of my career, so even though I still do them, I put little emphasis into them.
19. You are one of the top players in Big Bang Empire. What is the secret of your success?
Ha ha ha, No I am not (Who writes these questions? lol) Never say the sky is the limit, when there are footprints on the moon.
20. What are your tips for beginners?
Chase skills points, do not worry about levels or experience, they will come naturally, find a studio who you can grow with, and be patient, as you grow many studios will try and poach you away, but there is something to be said for loyalty, the Universe will reward you.
21. Big Bang Empire creates friendships. Have you created any kind of bond with another player? Tell us who, and how.
There are a few players I have created friendships with, mostly within my studio, especially Walli and Eve, sometimes taking a break from our busy filming schedules, so we can chat about our lives together, and the support we all offer each other makes our bonds closer.
22. Is there any player you look up to - that you admire? - If so, who and why?
I made a film for the Big Bang Awards once called STRAPON GIRLS.... WHOS THE BITCH NOW? and a message appeared in my mailbox saying to me "Awesome title", I discovered it came from the highest ranked star on this server ANALIS, I was shocked that she would even notice me so far down in the list, let alone take the time to send me a message, she is one of the most supportive players in the industry, and has helped me many times with questions or advice, and I would not be where I am today if it was not for her.
23. Name up to three players next to the following descriptions:
• Best players (based exclusively on their ability as players, not i.e. their personality);
ANALIS (Who could ever beat her?)
• Opponents you respect the most;
SASHA8 (The constant back and forth with our duels)
• Favourite forum members (if you are a registered forum member);
TARABING (She is so supportive of people in the forum)
24. Is there any message you'd like to send the Big Bang Empire community?
Take the time and message other players, create friendships and bonds.
25. Describe Big Bang Empire in three words.
Addictive, Sexy, Fun
26. Which boosters do you usually buy? Which do you deem the most important?
I buy all 3 boosters at 50% ranking, no point in doing things by halves, well technically 50% is half but then they do not have 100% boosters available do they?
27. How many diamonds do you buy each month?
Just as many as I need, people will be horrified to hear this, but I sacrifice some of my daily coffees and lunch at work and use those funds, seriously when you can get a package of diamonds for a the same cost as a coffee it helps.
28. Your star is one ranked with top glory. Can you advise us on how you choose your duels?
(Hmmm once again, who seriously comes up with these questions? lol)
I am not that highly ranked, in the 300's at the moment, when it comes to picking duels, I work on three techniques:
1. If it is for tasks or temple points, then I pick easy to win fights
2. Sometimes I just like to bite off more than I can chew.
3. Revenge, I keep track of every duel won or lost, and make sure I can retaliate at a later date many times over.
29. What is your favorite Temple Challenge - and which ones are your least?
I have come to hate the convention based ones, time zones can work so much against people, or people who are time poor in the game, I find throughout the game I get so many items, and when a temple comes up for selling items I excel, I change outfits so many times during my major film shoots, that I would be totally horrified looking the same way too many times, surely there are fans out there who would buy my panties, wouldn't they???
30. What was your best finish in the Big Bang Awards? Do you have any tips for our young aspiring movie-makers out there?
Well still have not had one reach the Top 10 yet, but I am working on it, and believe me the day that happens everyone will know about it, but my advice, choose outfits that suit your movie title, better still, demand to your production company that you use your own title, do not have your face covered with a title, take some pride in your production, as you are doing this for all of your admiring fans out there, and a huge thankies to everyone who ever has voted for me and thank you for this wonderful chance to do a exclusive interview, and I will be staying around to sign autographs for any of my adoring fans.
Thanks for your time, Caitlin! Join us next month for another interview!
