Game: Invisible Friend - Now playing round 47.

[Gabi]

Who's hosting?

And congratulations to the winners!

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Either you or me. I'm happy to go on hosting merrily.

Iffn you want to host, I'll play. Otherwise, you can play...

[e_voyager]

i've been to lava rand but i've not had a chance to install / get to know the software

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

If you want to run it, Spanky, I can sit down and go through what -I- do with you. That might help...

[e_voyager]

i want you both to be able to play the game and have fun. i'll be home tommorow / tonight between 2 and 3 am.

[Alteisentier]

Congrats to everyone from the last round, I think i'll play again too..

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I make it Aiyno, Dannysaysnoo, Altei, and either Gabi, spanky, or I, two of.

That's five, which is probably enough. to be getting on with... I'll see if I can tag Spanky on IRC and go through what I do, soas to sort things out there...

[e_voyager]

not to be confused but when does the game start and who's running it this time? i'd just like to know for sure.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Depends. Did you want to run it, or should someone use random.org to randomly select the next GM?

[e_voyager]

if my car was running i'd do it in a heart beat. just to see that the normal GM's get a chance to play but i'm working 1 to close till the end of the month means i'll be out of the house minimum 11 am too 130-2am each day. not a lot of time to monitor the game. still it should be possible if i get home almost everyday. what matters is do you all mind updates just once a day during the early morning for game? If that's fine that i'll do it.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Given how fast the last round went, that should work ok for me.

I don't think we've had anyone do more than 14 challenge/responses, anyway.

Is that a challenge?  Let's do this! let's make e_voyager regret the day he offered his hosting services! 

[VSMIT]

If that's the case, sign me up for another round!

[e_voyager]

noted. sign ups end Sunday and Monday the message with your visible friend will be mailed out. and remember i will rung the game with machines like regularity.  I'm not sure when the emails will arrive but i'll have it post in the messages with your visible friends name.

[e_voyager]

it's earlier then i planned but i have to travel today. visible friend messages will be in you message boxes shortly.


Edit:
The players are Aiyno, Dannysaysnoo, Alteisentier, Gabi, llearch, and VSMIT. The game will complete on Sunday 6th April.

I'm sure e_voyager will correct me if my presumptions are incorrect, here.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I'll take it that Round 35 is Now In Play, and we should send messages and pictures to tdarketernal@aim.com - the second message had a somewhat confused email address on it.

So.

Dear Invisible Friend,

Did you enjoy playing this last time around?
Are you looking forward to confusing me?
Do you think it likely that you'll figure out who your IF is?
Do you think it likely that -I- will?

[VSMIT]

Dear Invisible friend,

Have you ever played this before?
Are you a master of sarcasm?
What country do you live in?

[Suwako]

Dear invisible friend,

Hello, how are you?
Are you there, knock knock?
Why wont you talk to me?
Oh, sh*t this isnt the IRC channel, sorry about that..

Anyway, what is your favorite non tint color thing?

[e_voyager]

oh i'm Afraid that the email is not confused. it really is tdarketernal@aim.com the t belongs there and has been there since before aim came into existence and my email was still on netscape.net

[Dannysaysnoo]

Dear Invisible Friend.

What sorta music do you listen to?
What? Too generic?
Well then, do you like Rush?

[Gabi]

Oh, e's hosting? Nice!

Dear Invisible Friend, how are you?
Since we've all played at least once before, could you tell me what you did last time in order to try to figure out who your IF was?
Just in case the answer to the previous question is 'yes' or something like that, what did you do?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

oh i'm Afraid that the email is not confused. it really is tdarketernal@aim.com the t belongs there and has been there since before aim came into existence and my email was still on netscape.net

Heh. You've quoted it as darketernal, tdarketenal, and tdarketernal. I just wanted some clarification ;-]

[e_voyager]

here are the first batch of answers for the game. i would like to thank those that remembers to include their visible friends questions with their own answers personally. also on a side note i'm working 5am to sometime after 8pm tomorrow so post may appear later then normal.

Dear invisible friend,

Hello, how are you?
Are you there, knock knock?
Why wont you talk to me?
Oh, sh*t this isn't the IRC channel, sorry about that..

Anyway, what is your favorite non tint color thing?

Hey, Yo.

Me? I'm alright.
Ow. Don't knock on me.
I am!
Don't worry, it's an easy mistake.
Erm, blue, probably.

Dear Invisible Friend.

What sorta music do you listen to?
What? Too generic?
Well then, do you like Rush?

Dear Danny,

Anything I like, and sometimes things I don't like.
A rain cloud on a sunny day. That was not too generic.
Hour, no. Robot dog.. Yes.

Dear Invisible Friend,

Did you enjoy playing this last time around?
Are you looking forward to confusing me?
Do you think it likely that you'll figure out who your IF is?
Do you think it likely that -I- will?

What makes you think I played last time? Or do you mean the last time I played?
How? You're confusing me already.
I don't know... It's too early to tell.
Yes, you will. You may have already figured out who I am.

Dear Invisible Friend, how are you?
Since we've all played at least once before, could you tell me what you did last time in order to try to figure out who your IF was?
Just in case the answer to the previous question is 'yes' or something like that, what did you do?

To Gabi,

Dear Invisible Friend, how are you?
I'm good, thanks for asking. How are you?

Since we've all played at least once before, could you tell me what you did last time in order to try to figure out who your IF was?
I'm not sure. It may allow you to figure out who I am...

Just in case the answer to the previous question is 'yes' or something like that, what did you do?
I checked my IF's answers against the answers people gave in previous rounds.

One more thing. did everyone receive their ims telling them who their visible friends would be?

Edit:
Just tidied up the blank spaces, so that query/answers were together with spaces between each set

Dear IF,

- Well, the players last time around were Turnsky, Alteisentier, Aiyno, Gabi, and VSMIT. The players this time around are Aiyno, Dannysaysnoo, Alteisentier, Gabi, VSMIT, and I. The only players this time around who didn't play last time are Danny and I. I don't expect me to answer myself... but I -did- overlook Danny. I guess I meant "the last time you played", though.
- oh, I think you're not doing too badly. Perhaps you'd like shorter conversational points?
- I'd ask you your gender, but I don't think it's a good question, since it would immediately identify you in one case, but wouldn't do anything much the other. Besides, it's more fun to spread the guesses around. So, instead, I shall ask this: Have you seen snow in the last year or so?

[Suwako]

Dear invisible friend,

What is more important to you? Your mouse or your keyboard?
Simplicity or number of options?
Do you play any games? If so what is your favorite genre?

[Gabi]

Dear IF, if you don't take risks, you're not very likely to have fun.

I tried to use the same tactic once, but it didn't work. Is it possible that after playing for a while we're all begining to write more like each other?
Why do you think e's shortening the names of the players in the quotes?
What's the weather like where you live right now?

[Alteisentier]

Dear invisible friend.

Of rocks, the planet has many to share. But do you have one that captivates your imagination?

I'm going to have some dinner now, what would you recommend?

Are you any good at math?

[VSMIT]

Dear Invisible Friend (We seem to have stopped using clever alliteration),

Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral?
Do you know any programming languages?
Male, Female, or N/A?
Are you a relatively new member, or have you been around for a while?

[e_voyager]

To the APF,
I tried to use the same tactic once, but it didn't work. Is it possible that after playing for a while we're all begining to write more like each other?
It seems that way, but I don't think so. Everybody has their own distinct writing style, and it is (for me anyway) extremely difficult to change it.

Why do you think e's shortening the names of the players in the quotes?
Because he doesn't want to have to type out n'n'daCorna every time llearch asks a question. I would probably do that too.

What's the weather like where you live right now?
It rained a couple of days ago.

Dear IF,

- Well, the players last time around were Turnsky, Alteisentier,
Aiyno, Gabi, and VSMIT. The players this time around are Aiyno,
Dannysaysnoo, Alteisentier, Gabi, VSMIT, and I. The only players this

me to answer myself... but I -did- overlook Danny. I guess I meant

around. So, instead, I shall ask this: Have you seen snow in the last
year or so?

Dear llearch n'n'daCorna,

It was fun.
Why do you think I'm not doing too badly? You already know who I am...
but shorter conversational points are boring, let's keep conversing.
Yes, I have. Snow is easy to see, even in the desert they must see
snow in pictures.

Dear invisible friend.

Of rocks, the planet has many to share. But do you have one that
captivates your imagination?

I'm going to have some dinner now, what would you recommend?

Are you any good at math?

Dear Alteisentier,

The third from the Sun.
Try starting with food. If it's edible, that's even better.
Depends on who you ask. Daniel Tammet would disagree...

I tried to sleep but i couldn't rest easy until i came and made sure this topic was updated with  answers.  And for those of you whose answers i have yet to receive remember your vi sable friends are waiting. the address again is tdarketernal@aim.com.

Dear invisible friend,

Red, Black, or brown(striped) cats?
Cats or dogs?
half empty or half full?
