Welcome to the second edition of "Outside the Blocks"!
In this series, I will be interviewing different members of our community in order to get to know them a little better!
Today, our guest is bugsy12 - a moderator on our server since the May 1st, 2020!
Bugsy is the mayor of Gotham
"Bugsy (often referred to as "buggo") is super sweet, kind and thoughtful.
Whether you have a question or need an epic pun, bugsy is always there ready to deliver!"
First things first, my mind was blown when I learned earlier this week that you and Ninja are actually twins??
Can you share something about that, where the two of you grew up and why it took you a couple of months to join after Ninja?Yep, we're actual twins! We look almost identical, the big difference being that I have glasses. Most people say it's hard at first to tell us apart and then when you get to know us it's easy.
We grew up in Cambridge, Wisconsin which is a uber small town about a half-hour from Madison (capital of Wisconsin)
When she joined sentinel I think I was on a different server?
At the time I just used her account and she kept recommending I join her server but explained I would have to use a cracked account.
Cracked accounts confused the **** out of me but after a couple of months I finally caved (also I found out the owner of the other server
was stealing credit card numbers so he went to jail and the server shut down a month later!!!)
Woah, I truly never knew.. little bit upset about that.. but I bet that I am not the only one!
Are you currently studying something or are you already living the adult life with an adult job and adult responsibilities?A little of both, I already have an associate's degree in graphic design and I'm currently working on my bachelor's of art with an emphasis on graphic design.
I share an apartment with my boyfriend and work at my University doing graphics and web work. Besides this, I also work at a library part-time.
Ooh! Why did you decide to study graphic design, would you be able to show us some of your projects/work?Great question! I really liked art in high school, I took a lot of drawing and painting classes. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with that so I tried out graphic design - I wasn't sure how similar it would be- and I really liked it!
As for work, I have a website where you can see my work:
https://mackenziekatch.com/ Full disclosure, these projects are a couple of years old and they were all school projects, everything has been mocked up to look real.
However, the wedding invites on there are Ninja's actual wedding invites I letterpressed for her.
As for more traditional media, I have a separate Instagram @kenziecantnotdesign where I post artwork and related things.
I really like the designs, got me craving for some ice cream now! Recently you came back from a period of inactivity,
what made you stay with us and eventually apply to become a moderator?I don't really "leave" the server I just tend to get busy with school (I know a lot can relate) but it's always nice to come back to familiar faces and some new friendly ones.
I decided to apply for mod because I've been here a long time and I really wanted to help out more and be more engaged in the server
Mhm. When you're not busy with work, school or Minecraft what do you like to do in your spare time?Probably something artsy or journaling. Don't get me wrong though, it's mostly Minecraft
Journaling! I wish I could dedicate myself to that, my handwriting is horrible!
I've asked some members of the community to send me questions for you. One of them asks if you are willing to share one of your deepest darkest secrets with us!I don't do it nearly as much as I should but it's very relaxing..
A secret? I've had a more than friendly relationship with at least one person on the server!
Spill the tea, people will start speculating! Can I guess? Can you give me a tip or is this going to be your secret forever? It's from a couple of years ago though, I'm not sure if you would be able to..
Dang it! And if I were to ask you to smooch, marry and kill with players on our server, what would your answer be?Smooch xenny, marry banana, kill ace!
Does this mean you prefer Creepy over Ace? (; For sure lmao
What is your most treasured memory in the server?That's hard because there's so many. In pern world, I had a lot of fun egging Ace's house. Also when ninja mayor of Mirlaz I would build random stuff with the intent of annoying her, to which she would yell at me and then immediately tear it down.
There was a day last year where I kept bullying AMNOT to join shadow realm and that always makes me laugh thinking about that. Most recent favorite memory would be becoming mod and so many people congratulating me.
We have a lot of great Minecrafters on this server- builders, pvpers, parkour players, etc. I think it's important to not be intimidated by them and do what makes you happy.
And also not to be afraid to come back if you go inactive, this community is great at welcoming people back <3
Thank you so much for letting us get to know you a little bit better! Do you have any last message for our readers?Thanks for taking the time for interviewing me and I'm looking forward to future segments with other staff
