Hello Vanny, congratulations on becoming player of the month! How does it feel? 

 Thank you Sara. It's a pleasure to me be the player of the month. I feel very honored to be chosen because I know that we have very awesome players that could be interviewed before me. New players are coming and showing great attitude for help the players in MilMo, then, I only could think in some good names to be here. But i need also to say thank you to some players, those that are very curious about the shy-girl Vanny :)

When did you start playing MilMo? Why did you stay?

I did start play around February, 2011. At first I was very sad because my game always crashed on Rose island and after some attempts, I just stop to play. But when April comes, I tried again to play and my game was working fine :) Since this moment i could discover really what is play MilMo. Exactly when I discover that, I didn't stop to play. Every times and every days looking forward to discover more and get more things in-game. And don't forgetting about some friends, they are also my reason to play " my " amazing MilMo.

At the Eternal Monument with friends!

I've noticed you are online on quite strange times, don't you ever sleep?

Hahaha! I knew you and some players are  curious about it :) Well, I have my own business and I stay sometimes in my office or home. So, where I am, I want to enjoy this time to play and help also on forum and community. But I don't have such time, then i need to stay connected on my PC, laptop or smartphone ( to help on BR forum or Orkut community ). And when we have a own business, we don't have so much time to sleep, and I use this time to play, when I am " free ".

The Hidden Tor

When playing, what do you like to do the most? Any favorite islands?

Definitely I am a person who like to talk a lot. With this, I just like to talk with friends, meet new people ( despite be shy ) and I like so much to help players when they need. If they need to solve some issues ( that I can handle ) and need help in general, like quests or tokens. My favorite island is Hidden Tor :) I love this place.

Who do you hang out with in MilMo?

I have 5 musketeers :P Persons that I'm really learning to love everyday of my real or in-game life. I'm used to hang out with Sobe, Sr.Edu, Sosiv, Kid and my new friend Alianore :) They are here <3, close to my heart and I'm grateful to have all of them on my side.

Where do you live in real life? What's it like there? Do you have any hidden talents?

Vanny is quite a painter!

I live in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. The most beautiful city of the world ( at least for me ). My city is known as the " wonderful city " because she has beautiful natural places like beaches and mountains. We have really a lot of beaches wherever you go. We have a such biggest Carnival also, that is happening these days here :) Talents? Hmmmm, let me think :) Maybe it's hard to say " talent ", but i have some things that I want to do here: I like to paint some pictures with oil tint. They aren't so beautiful, but are my time to relax and let me be inspired by the things around me. This one I made based on MilMo " The way from to cozyville to Ancient forest ". ( don't laugh guys ).

What do you do when you are not online in MilMo?

A sunny beach in Brazil!

Sincerely, these last times I'm not having so much time to have fun without MilMo. But i like to enjoy my friends, family, dogs and enjoy my beach :) Yeah, I like so much to have time to stay on beach and relax, principally now that is summer here in Brazil. I just love it! 

WOW what a beach! In Sweden it's cold and snowy at the moment. Do you have any MMM? MilMo Memories that is! Something special you remember that you want to share with us?

Yes, and I cannot forget about it. It was when we know that " MilMo BR will be closed down " and I came to MilMo EN to play. I was so sad when i was trying to invite the BR players to play the English version. Not because to play the EN version, but about the news of the end of MilMo BR. However, I could see persons that already know me, and i didn't know, because they did see me there on EN forum :) At this point, I could see me on a familiar place, with new friends and trustworthy persons. The sun always will shine on the morning, always :)

You are one of the first GMs in MilMo BR! Tell us what you do as a GM, and what's it like?

Yes, and it's a pleasure for me being a GM for MilMo. Sometimes I need to share my time to play in both servers. But i handle this with a such happiness and grateful that I have no words to say how I'm feeling to have a opportunity to help the players as possible. Like i said above, I am a shy person but I have a strong personality. For me rules are rules and fun is fun. As GM, I'm trying to check if the game rules of the terms of use are being followed. I need to handle with different situations and different persons that handle with you with different behavior also. I like also to check if we have some little " bugs " in-game and send these things to Junebud :) Yeah, seems to be a lot of things, but when you do what you love, the things are like a fresh wind on your face :)

Thank you for the interview Vanny, it's always a pleasure to talk with you!
