Probably a couple of obvious ones:

1) What's his favourite bait yet?

2) How did he get started on baiting?

I know Shiver has plenty of amusing war stories to tell but this is also an opportunity to educate potential victims about scams so I'd want to ask:

"What are the most common scams and how to they work?"
"What are the 'warning signs' that it's probably a scam?"
"What should victims do if they discover they have been scammed?"

I know it's a bit mundane and difficult to condense into quick answers but it's important and useful information because there are still a lot of people out there who need to get a clue about internet scams Crying or Very sad

Does his baiting skills ever come in handy in real life situations?

"If you could be a tree . . . what tree would you be?"

"What . . . is the capital of Assyria?!"

"What is your Spirit Animal?"

Seriously, the obvious of what drove him to start this, and the dreaded "where do your ideas come from" question.

Ask him if he ever expected Eater to have such a far reach of membership and be as big as it is?

Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:40 am

I would like to know how he sees the future of Eater and what he would still like to accomplish.

Why do you like pirates so much? (just wondering, I love them too)

Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:52 am

What is your quest? ......
What is your favourite colour?

Na, seriously, I think the questions from persephone and OxygenDeprived are both excellent, and ones I'd love to know the answers to.

I am sure you will ask about whether or not various law enforcement agencies are starting to take this seriously. Maybe ask him to tell a few "horror stories" simply to underscore the fact that the Lads are not "silly people" to "poke fun at" but dangerous criminals.

How much have Lads contributed to global warming by producing all those ridiculous fake "paper" documents?
Can he estimate an average Lads "carbon footprint?" Laughing

You must ask him about taking the biscuit Laughing

Shiver is famous for his exceptional baits and being able to wrap his finger around really gullible lads.

My questions:
For every successfull bait posted on the site, how many baits have failed?
How many baits do you run at once?
What was your first bait like?
When/why did you start baiting?

They're the same thing. They migrate, you know.

I'll second the future of 419eater question and the how many attempts to get a big trophy question.

After the audio book, what next? (not likely to get an answer though Smile

)

Could I get a signed copy of his book? Very Happy

Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:34 pm

^^ Yeah, I didn't get my book either! He baited me!

Ask him where my bloody book is?

AND I'M NOT GOING ON SAFARI TO GET IT!

Not again anyway...
