Game: Invisible Friend (Sign up for Round 53)

[Suwako]

I'm in for the next round, if anyone can host / play.

[Gabi]

So it's e, Inumo, Tytaj and me, with Fibre hosting. I guess it's up to Fibre to decide when the round starts/ends. And maybe someone else will join...?

[Fibre]

OK, you can host if you want. Of course you'll have to check for answers everyday. Do you know how do access the randomizer and the Photobucket album?

Oh, I'll be away from the 26th to the 30th. I may or may not have Internet access, but in the best case I still won't be online more than once a day.

I see the randomizer, but I don't believe I have access to the Photobucket album. I guess I'll need to create an account there, though I could always just host them myself if needed.

So it's e, Inumo, Tytaj and me, with Fibre hosting. I guess it's up to Fibre to decide when the round starts/ends. And maybe someone else will join...?

With our schedules it sounds like we shouldn't start until the 31st. Hopefully plenty of other folks will join in the meantime!

[e_voyager]

and this time i'll try not to get thrown by the unexpected.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Nuts. If you were to start now, I could join in, but after Christmas, I'll be back at work...

[Fibre]

When does your holiday end? If Gabi wouldn't mind having part of the middle overlap the time that she is away, it's not too much of a problem for me to make sure I'm available during the next few weeks.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Uh... on the 31st.

[Fibre]

Hmm, well I guess we could run from tomorrow to the 2nd if it would be alright with Gabi. Alternatively we could try "speed IF" and go from tomorrow until the 23rd or 24th.

Gabi, do you have any preferences on this? Anyone else have any schedule conflicts/preferences?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

23/24 is where I start my holiday, so if you want a speed run, start then. ;-]

[e_voyager]

so the box is in the house?

[Fibre]

Alright, so I guess the options are:
A. Dec 23--Jan 2
B. Jan 1--Jan 15

If possible A would be preferred since llearch can play then if it will work with Gabi even with her schedule. Or if not, I suppose we could do both. Any comments/preferences?

[Gabi]

llearch, I know you're busy, but can't you dedicate 2 minutes a day to this game?
I'll try to find out if I will have an internet connection at the hotel in Ushuaia, and then I'll confirm whether or not option A is possible for me.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I can dedicate the 2 minutes a day.

I can't do the drawing, because that will take me a lot longer. Hence why my suggestion about my time off. It'd be a damn shame to go through the whole thing, and then send something crappy like stick-figure art or something, simply because I was too busy with work/my son/my wife/other things to manage to put aside the time and draw something more worthy.

I've done that a couple times. I'm very sorry, but I don't think I'd like to do it again, because it feels to me like I'm not putting enough effort in.

Does that make sense? I know it's not what the rules say - the rules say send an image of some sort, taken with camera, or drawn, or whatever - but it's how I feel about it.

... And I don't want to send a chunk of script, because, if nothing else, that'd feel cheap as well. Even though it's something I deal with a lot.

[Fibre]

Oh! If you only want holiday time to be available for that, then would Dec 21/22--Jan 7 work? That would give a roughly normal-length round completely overlapping with your holiday and should give plenty of time before/after Gabi's holiday as well I think even if she's not available any/much then.

You might give yourself away with an unusually elaborate drawing, though.

[Gabi]

Good news, everyone! The hotel where I'll be staying in Ushuaia has WIFI, so I'll be able to play from there after all.

Also, llearch: what Fibre said. Which is why elaborate drawings are very rarely seen in this game.

[e_voyager]

nods agreed. you've all seen some of my best work and almost no 2 of my images look alike but there is still enough of me in thee to where people can figure out what i've done.

[Fibre]

llearch, could you please confirm that Dec 21 to Jan 7 will work with you? Looks like it's good with everyone else so as soon as you can confirm we can start.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

That will be fine.

Sorry, last few days at work, so been hip-deep in alligators. :-/

(also hunting presents for people. And tidying things up. And...)

[Fibre]

Round 52 is now in session! The last day will be January 7. Sending out the PMs in a moment.

Edit: Or a few moments. Evidently the forum software doesn't like batch-submitting posts or PMs...

That will be fine.

Thanks and no problem, I certainly understand that. I'm happy that you're able to join this round!

Hi, dear IF! How are you? I'm having some electrical problems here (the dreaded summer outages); I hope I'm able to log in everyday. Are power outages frequent where you live?

I've just read Tytaj's questions and the last one made me chuckle. I was within the darkness last night due to the lack of electricity.

So, here we are again. I'm still at work, despite it being 8pm. Again.

At least I've got a week and a half off, now.

Do you have plans for Christmas?
Do you have presents for your loved ones, or are you waiting until the last minute to obtain them?
Do you have any idea what you plan to do for drawing?
Have you considered all the possibilities that "down" has to offer?

Yes, I am!
Oh, yeah!
It depends on the question.
Er... no, I don't think so.
Because we want to play the game. And I don't mean that stupid meme.
Sometimes.
Yes.
Also yes.

Yay, it's a new round!

Hey, Gabi! I'm good! I hope you're able to log in every day, too. No, not terribly frequent, although we had some at work recently that annoyed various folks.
                           
And thankyou. That's nice of you to say.

Dear e_voyager,

The invisible friend game.
It would be naughty of me to find it out that way, wouldn't it?  Ah, Raúl.. thou last name is girly.
That's discrimination; disabled people can be men too.
The song singer.
Her ultimate.
Depends, It think?
...
None, I am a well rounded person.
I don't rumble, I think?

[Suwako]

Dear invisible friend,

Are you completely sane?
Fruits and vegetables?
Potato... Tomato?

What is the last time you did something naughty?
Do you dance?
Do you roll that way?

What do you think about that dictator recently being put away again?
Are you certain?
Ok, if you wish to believe that.
How many times have you tilted your head at questions asked?

[Gabi]

You're welcome! And thanks, I hope so too. But wait, does that mean...? Are you messing with me? OK, nevermind.

Do you like my ears better up or down?
Do you know whom I just quoted?
Do you know why? (I'm not going to tell you! )
Coffee, tea, or that odd mixture they serve at Chinese restaurants?
Speaking of which, what kind of food do Chinese restaurants serve in your area?

Is anyone?
Sure.
Pour in a few more ingredients and you can make a tasty stew.
Uh... I can't remember? Sometime last week, I think.
Sometimes, but not professionally.
Which way?
I wish there were no more dictators, but usually those who get rid of them become dictators themselves. It's a vicious circle.
Seems to be that way.
OK.
Once.

You're welcome! And thanks, I hope so too. But wait, does that mean...?

I think so, Brain, but what if the chicken won't wear the nylons?
No, of course not.
No relation.
Well, if it wasn't obvious by now...
Bad command or filename.
Depends on if you mean green tea, oolong tea, or jasmine tea.
Chinese food. What else would you expect them to serve?
I'm rumbling already, due to missing lunch.
I'm not sure, perhaps I should ask my IF?
Depends on who you ask, and what I was up to the previous night.
Not so far. You could always ask some more, now.

[Gabi]

Dear IF, I'm warning you in advance. Please try not to miss your lunch before you read these questions.

Only those options for tea? Oh, I need to show you my tea collection, you'll see there's a lot more to tea than that. And in fact jasmine tea can be green or oolong, or sometimes even black/red. Will you be coming to Argentina someday so I can show you?

Also, I don't think you live in China, so if your Chinese restaurants really serve Chinese food, I'll be surprised. They usually serve whatever they've made up out of the local ingredients.

OK, let's switch to meals from a different location. What kinds of Indian food have you tried, if any? Did you like them?

What other countries have you tried food from?

Do you like the food from your own country?

How can you ask your IF? Do you know who s/he is already?

You missed one of my questions.

What's the most common reason for you to stay up late?

Why do people acquire unhealthy habits?

[Inumo]

Dear IF,

Well, to quote Xzibit, "Yo dawg, we heard you like to game, so we put a game in yo game so you can play while you play!"
If longcat and tacgnol fought in your home town, do you think you'd survive?
Do you have a favorite music artist?
If given the chance, would you learn how to dance?
Have you ever tried to write a story?
What about draw a comic?
Do you like puzzles?
Have you ever heard of the Icehouse game pieces?
