Behind the Avatar - Agentnoggin

Interview conducted on August 4, 2025.

We did this in chats because Agent is currently muted so if the formatting/timing seems a bit off, that's why.

Me: Welcome to Episode 9 of Behind the Avatar! Today we are interviewing @Agentnoggin. So, Agent, how are you doing today?

Agent: Pretty good, came back from a friend's house today(first time touching grass in so long) btw ty for making the N in noggin uncapitalized

Me: Lol. I've accidentally capitalized it before but now I remember not to! Before we get started, what are some of your hobbies?

Agent: I prefer uncapitalized because I don't wanna be formal ;D

Me: Wait we've already started-

Agent: Well some of my hobbies are playing otb, swimming, playing video games, and ofc lurking in DMS

Me: Well, it seems we've got a lurker on our hands. You guys really should make a club XD.

Agent: I will for sure join it, carlsen or smth has to start it though because i'm new to the scene lol

Me: Alrighty, let's get into the CC related questions. Why did you choose the username you did?

Agent: First, My user was my real name and 4 random numbers, I turned into coolnoggin because I read a book that had noggin in it and I added cool to it because I liked it, then I became a agent went to agentcoolnoggin, and shortened it to agentnoggin

Agent: Most other places i'm coolnoggin so I'm always happy when someone calls me as cool not as noggin ;D

Me: You should change your username to @Agentcoolnoggin fr (jk please don't I like this username)

Me: I really need to come up with better transitions these are getting repetitive and it sounds weird going directly into the question- *coughs* Why did you choose your current pfp?

Agent: fr

Agent: Depends on what PFP you're talking about, my current galaxy one is because dove convinced me to match and I think it looks great but not a cringy match, and my other one is one someone made for me as a agent

Me: Either one but both actually works better...or however you'd word it to not sound weird... How did you find Chess.com social and what is your opinion on it?

Agent: I honestly don't remember how I joined social, maybe I was just scrolling clubs and saw one, but my first club I actually cared about was Dog Chess Village, Met my first cc friends there and they also got me into Mafia

Agent: Opinion on cc social? I enjoy having friends on cc social, talking to them is awesome but dont recommend being that chronically online(hypocrite frfr)

Me: I too do not recommend being chronically online. Now, let us move on to clubs. Do you own any clubs?

Agent: I dont own any clubs, just gonna mention the club i care about the most(Forsaken's Nostalgic Hangout) I'm super admin in it and it's where i first started being active other than dtv, chill place but ik author probably wouldn't join because it's very unserious lol

Me: Yeah that club just looks like the type of club I wouldn't like (no offense to anyone). Do you have a staff position in any other clubs?

Agent: Technically I'm coord in dtv but idc about it, i dont think i'm staff anywhere else that's active

Agent: Ik none taken i'm self concious

Me: *cough* You forgot Author's Flock *cough*

Me: Moving on! Do you prefer clubs or OTF, and why?

Agent: *cough* i kinda forget i'm coord because i dont make events *cough* *cough* I'm also coord in Author's Flock author isn't lying

Me: Also, audience note, this interview series is actually just a ruse to advertise my club MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA (jk)

Agent: I prefer clubs because i make friends better than otf, it's too active and i dont want to shuffle through the spam threads sob, and i enjoy my club forum games over otf

Agent: Audience note, this is also a ruse to advertise the interviewed person's clubs MWAHAHAHAHHA(jk)

Me: Understandable. And yes, we just advertise everything- What would you say is your greatest achievement on Chess.com?

Agent: My greatest achievement on chess.com is winning your h/h frfr and maybe that i got chatterbox(mafia probably contributed a lot lmao)

Me: I don't doubt mafia helped with the achievement.

Me: Are there any blogs/clubs/people you would like to shoutout, and if so what/who are they?

Agent: Shoutout to Forsaken's Nostalgic Hangout because it's active and chaotic(but there are little rules so be warned), Author's Blog on the j3n mafia game, if you haven't read it yet for whatever reason read it now, @Freefriendlydove, their probably the person i talk the most to in dms @Forsaken, because idk their w, 2

Agent: @Noahdealwis because their good to talk to, @Platsack because yes, @Agc_Gambit_YT because their a giga chad, @Xiguadog because their one of my first cc friends from dog chess village, @The_Doge_Lord Because their also one of my first cc friends, and idk anything else all my friends in mm and j3n that i dont feel like listing rn lol

Me: Oh look more proof this is a ruse-

Me: Um...do you have anything else to say before we go?

Agent: Exactly It's undeniable evidence

Me: XD

Agent: Uhh idk how to transition it

Me: Just say something funny and we'll be good

Agent: Send me some uranium and bombs in a special gift, follow in sailsword's steps frfr (The cheer/award)

Me: I think I'll have to pass lol. Well then, thank you for your time, Agent! Remember to eat food, breathe, sleep, and watch Top Gun! Cya!
