Game: Invisible Friend - Now playing round 47.

[Gabi]

This is getting funny.

I can either host or play, as you prefer.

[VSMIT]

I'd like to try hosting, if that's ok with you.

[Gabi]

Ok, go ahead. That way I can be sure you won't be my IF. We still need at least one more player.

[VSMIT]

Yeah.  We wouldn't want that, would we?

[Jer-oh-me]

Llearch is gone for about a week I think. And ja, I'll try to talk some of the other IRC slackers to join and play (IRC is how I knew about the Box's vacation)

[VSMIT]

I'm trying to get Slowtini, but if we can get at least one more person, I'll start it up.

[Jairus]

Just saying that I'm still in. Hey, maybe we can convince Ren to play if he gets back at some point!

[VSMIT]

Last call for people who want to join this round!

Current players:
Gabi
Jairus
Jer-oh-me
Ren Gaulen
Darkdragon (If he remembers)

[Ren Gaulen]

Yup, I see you have already put my name on the List. Just to make things clear - I'm in.

[Darkdragon]

I do. I just need to know who to send E-mails to this round.

[Jairus]

It'll be VSMIT, so we'll get the address when the game starts.

[VSMIT]

AND THE ROUND HAS BEGUN!

The game will end two weeks from today, September 15 at 5:20 PM PDT, or 12:20 AM GMT.  Remember to get your pictures in by then.

Have fun, everybody!

[Jairus]

I guess I'll get this started!

In your opinion, what are the ten most important books in the English language of the 20th century and why?

And what do you think about the discussion prior to this round?

And, since we're at it, how did you learn about this game?

Hello,

Hmm, well its interesting.

Heh, well I think that's pretty typical forum behaviour so, yeah.

Stumbled upon it in the Arena.

Will it be fun, my dear invisible friend?

Dear invisible friend,

What's the name of your favorite musical artist? Or band name?

Do you prefer the library or the bookstore for your reading material? Or do you dislike reading?

Oh, bad luck. Hope you get your computer up and running soon.
I'm not a fan, but I certainly liked it. It was a very well done movie.
Hm... tricky. I don't really have a favorite music artist, since I basically listen to anything that I like and don't care much for who's performing it. But for a composer... Either Danny Elfman or John Williams.
Burritos, yes. Tacos, not so much.
The bookstore. I like buying my reading material. And I very much enjoy reading.

Dear invisible friend,

Do you think this round will be a success?

Tell me about yourself. Are you artistic? Do you have a job? Are you a math/science person or a humanities person?

In your opinion, what are the ten most important books in the English language of the 20th century and why?

"Do you think this round will be a success?"
I cannot tell for sure, but I really hope it will.

"Tell me about yourself. Are you artistic?"
Yes, I think I am.

"Do you have a job?"
Not yet. I am currently learning at the University.

"Are you a math/science person or a humanities person?"
I am more of a humanities person. In fact I am mostly a humanities person, since I am learning on a linguistics faculty.

"In your opinion, what are the ten most important books in the English language of the 20th century and why?"
I don't think I can give an answer to this question, since most of the books I read are not in English.

[Darkdragon]

Dear Invisible Friend,

A person of tongues? What other languages might you be able to make conversation in?

Would you know where I mean if I said "Москва"?

Do you like using precise words to describe something? For example, if I were to describe Mab's colour scheme, I would say somewhere between indigo and mauve instead of just "purple".

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend:

I'm glad to hear that you're doing fine.
What's your favorite form of art?
What kind of video games do you like to play?
Okay, what's your favorite genre of book to read?
What webcomics do you read?
Who's your favorite DMFA character?

[VSMIT]

"A person of tongues? What other languages might you be able to make conversation in?"
Well, I am currently learning Spanish, and I have also learned Swedish before, but kinda forgot it now. Oh, and I tried learning Japanese, but failed at it. What else? It is a secret.

"Would you know where I mean if I said "Москва"?"
Well, there is "Babelfish" for all your translation needs, so it is not hard for anyone to find out the meaning of this Russian word.

"Do you like using precise words to describe something? For example, if I were to describe Mab's colour scheme, I would say somewhere between indigo and mauve instead of just "purple"."
For the most part I prefer to speak simply, but when I write, I like to use precise words.

Spiky-haired dragon; worthless knight,

[Darkdragon]

Do you like video games? If so, what kinds?

What are some things you would consider awesome?

What is your political ideal?

[Ren Gaulen]

Dear Invisible Friend:

Do you like to play computer games? Or, maybe, video games? What genres of games do you like?

Do you go in for sports? If no, do you like some kind of sports?

Do you draw or write? Are you artistic?

[VSMIT]

Do you like video games? If so, what kinds?

What are some things you would consider awesome?

What is your political ideal?

"Do you like video games? If so, what kinds?"
I play computer games rather than video games. If it counts, than I prefer Strategy games (whether Real-Time or Turn-Based), RPG's and Action games.

"What are some things you would consider awesome?"
Giant Robots!! Also Giant Spaceships. Ever played "Homeworld"?

"What is your political ideal?"
A society controlled by the Artificial Intelligence. Because humans are too easily corrupted by power.

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend...

Cool pic!

What is your favorite form of art to create? (though after seeing the spear, I can guess CG art)
What's your favorite RPG?
Do you have a favorite fantasy author?
Do you play or follow sports in any way?
What's your favorite food?

[Darkdragon]

Excellent, perhaps you could share some of those titles with me? I'm always willing to try new games.

And no, I have never played Homeworld.

Great pic by the way; did you draw that by hand and then scan it or is it completely digital?

If you can pilot a giant mecha as a career, would you totally do it?
How's about if you owned one and you could show it off once in a while?

Benjamin Franklin has once said something to the effect of "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." (I know the original quote, but I like this wording better) Do you agree or disagree with it and why?

What are your views on modern religion?

PS: Do you know Coptic? I have a Coptic "demon-summoning" book around somewhere and I'm practically dying to figure out if it is "authentic" or not. Not that I'd like to summon demons or have the ability to type in Coptic...

[Gabi]

Dear invisible friend, what do you think of the 2 drawings which have already been posted?

Do you like playing games? If so, what kinds? If not, why not? What about making them?

What subject(s) do you like learning about? (Or, if you don't like any, why not?)

What form(s) of art do you like? Which ones have you attempted, and what do you think about the results?

Free form: please tell me about something else you like doing.
