This Interview with KaiserK was hold by openCards user Tribble.

In our second introduction interview of the TCC-era Organized Play Europe volunteers we have the pleasure to talk to Johannes Klarhauser.

Q: Hi Johannes. Let us start with something provocative. Someone who deemed himself fluent in the German language explained to me that “Schmarrn” is something used in Bavaria (which is something like the Texas of Germany, only with Lederhosen) to describe more or less “bullshit”, making your TCC-handle “Kaiserschmarrn” the “emperor of bullshit”. Is that translation valid?

Telak (Ulf Benjes):            Hello Thorsten, thanks for taking the time to talk a bit about the future of ST2E in Europe, and in Germany in particular. In the end, I think BigD’s announcement at the end of 2007 was hardly a surprise, was it?
