Seeing as how this is Civil War hoops week #1, ConnorOSU over at Building the Dam approached me about doing a Q&A sesh.  Here's (approximately) how the email exchange went:

ConnorOSU: Hey Tako, it's ConnorOSU from Building the Dam.  Would you be interested in doing a Q&A for the upcoming Civil War game?  Let me know.

Takimoto: I WILL GRANT YOU YOUR INTERVIEW, PEON, BUT FIRST I HAVE A LIST OF DEMANDS.  I REQUIRE TWENTY-EIGHT GREEN M&M'S, INSIDE A CARVED-OUT COCONUT SHELL, ON MY DESK, FIRST THING THURSDAY MORNING.  YOU'LL HAVE TO PASS THROUGH SECURITY, AND JUANITA TENDS TO GET HANDSY DURING THE SCREENING.  DEAL WITH IT.  NEXT, A GOLDEN EAGLE SHALL DELIVER YOUR QUESTIONS IN AN ENVELOPE BEARING A GOLD-EMBOSSED ADDICTED TO QUACK LOGO.  YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AT ALL TIMES IN THE INTERVIEW AS "THE COMMODORE, SIR, KING OF ALL THAT IS GLORIOUS".  LASTLY, YOU MUST REQUIRE THAT ALL BUILDING THE DAM MEMBERS REC THE POST UNDER PUNISHMENT OF THE BANHAMMER.

ConnorOSU: Look, you're literally my last choice of the entire ATQ staff.  You're barely a writer, I just need someone with editor power so it looks official.  No one's even gonna read it.  It's nine freakin' questions.  So just shut up and do it.

Takimoto: Don't you mean, shut up and do it COMMODORE, SIR, KING OF ALL THAT IS GLORIOUS?

ConnorOSU: No.

Needless to say, ConnorOSU eventually bowed to my reasonable demands, and the interview went off without a hitch.  After the jump are his answers to my Beaver-related queries, and a link to the sexier other half will be hitting BTD at some point today can be found HERE.
