What's your favorite thing about being Celani: I'm still pretty new up in the pools, but so far my favorite thing about being a Celani is seeing how things go behind the scenes. Or seeing immediate results from my contributions to the game. The new-and-shiny feeling hasn't worn off for me yet, so I'm having a blast seeing how things go. 3 favorite Aetolian memories: This is a tough one since I've been playing for quite a while, and most of them would probably give away who I was, so I'm going to keep away from specifics as much as I can. I can tell you, though, that one of my favorite memories was seeing the release of an area I had worked on as a mortal builder for the first time.
Best builder's anecdote: So this is really more embarrassing than anything, and I have not been allowed to forget it. Relatively early in my stint as a mortal builder I was assigned an area that was a network of underground tunnels. One of my short-descriptions was supposed to be 'Within a pitch black tunnel' or something to that effect. My finger slipped when typing, though, and I hit a 'b' instead of a 'p', don't even know how that happened. And I didn't catch it until after I submitted the area for approval.
Worst builder nightmare: You know, I don't really have anything like this. However, there are a few projects that I have had (and a few of them are still open from when I was mortal building) that just dragged on forever. You hear jokes every once in a while that go something like 'Hey, write me 100 rooms of ocean'. That's how those areas started to feel for me after a while. Monotony is my creative bane.
If you could create ANY area, what would it be? What sort of awesome mobs and stuff would it have?: This one's done already, actually. Take a look around the Forgotten Dome.
Favorite part of Aetolian lore: Aetolia has such rich lore that this question is very, very hard to answer, especially without massive spoilers. So if I restrict myself to non-spoilery things, I would have to say that I am very much a fan of the Idar-Chakrasul-Rahn story.
Proudest addition to the game world: As I said above, I'm still fairly new so I don't have too much to talk about here. But right now I think I would say that if I don't go with my kelki domes, I would have to say it is working with the orcs that left the Sirrocians and headed to Duiran and Areka's village.
Funniest anecdote from hosting an event or making a new mechanic: I have actually been involved with a couple events in my short time in the pools. For pure entertainment, I would have to say I loved watching the players interact with the new horkval queen and her only remaining male after ulangi blew up. The only other incident that really comes to mind would be the release of the Forgotten Dome area. It was the first event I got to run on my own, if you can really call it an event, and while I thought I was prepared, I really wasn't. So much goes on so quickly with even moderately scaled events where you have to split your attention between multiple groups. And after people started interacting with my mobs I realized I forgot to turn off their progs. I definitely got to learn a thing or two.

Why the flying unicorns is "come at me bro" acceptable to use now?

Why? It's probably the most deepest non-PvP oriented arena game there is. Everything about is designed to make you think and react accordingly to the circumstances inside the arena, which can be different every time you try it. Normally like to ignore the lower tier Survivor waves? Some of them give dizziness which might ruin your escape opportunities against tougher waves. Like to group up with friends? Beware wave three, where a lot of them have AoE attacks and can spawn treants that entangle the entire room, or knock team mates away. Like to run solo? You might just get gibbed by a unique spawn that'll hunt you down, no matter where you are in the arena. To add there's a special difficulty mode that only Divine can host, which can earn you a unique fame line, and there can also be themed Survivor events too.
But if you want to know why I'm bias, it's because I made it.
My favourite mod would have to be the Collapse mod. Namely because it's flexible enough to be part of any arena game and make it interesting. Special mention to the Gods mod though, which was originally something I would custom host using our disease system.
Perhaps a future idea is that items could spawn in the arena that you could pick up, and they'll be able to cause some of the new mob afflictions I've been building in. Might make it more worth while to go fight the hoards.
I may actually do this, sounds like fun.

I'm open for questions, too!
@Rashar = You're finally allowed a mobile house-wagon. Only caveat? In every room you place it in, it grows curly pink vines and you have to have Rashar wear a ridiculous concubine-boy outfit in order to move it. Would you still want one?
@Moirean = What's your FAVORITE pony?
.. But yes.
