Game: Invisible Friend (Sign up for Round 53)

[Jer-oh-me]

Dear IF,

Well, I suppose this is the final round of questions.

Is the picture supposed to look like a flag?

Is that a tail or sort of like a Nike swoosh?

Did you notice that the DMFA host got buggered up?

How many rounds of this have you played?

Do you like fedoras?

[Gabi]

We're getting quite special images this round.

Hmm... tea?

And since when is Jairus an incubus? They're invading us! I need to make more antidote. Is Kenji around? I need to gather all the ingredients.

Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

Oh, and what happened to the DMFA host?

[e_voyager]

dear invisible friend ...
do you believe in rock and roll?
can music save your mortal soul?
is today a good day to die?
who is T'altrixx ?
do crackers matter?
Is Jairus an incubus of is this the effect of a patch?
have you read my work on the forum?

[VSMIT]

Dear Invisible Friend,
Are you going to send in a picture?
What country are you in?
What general area of that country are you in?

[Jairus]

Why don't we call this round closed? Since I'm still waiting for a few answers, I'll accept answers for the next day or so, while we'll start posting guesses tomorrow night after the last round of answers are in. As for the missing pic, the IF in question has already contacted me about it, so don't worry about it.

Okay, Gabi's IF said...

Oh, and what happened to the DMFA host?

We are.

Yes, please.

I suppose he must have decided he wanted an cubi char. I do not know if Kenji is about.

Not entirely.

Apparently it went all FUBAR.

Dear e_voyager,
Not yet.
Probably what Dan's doing.
Yes.
I have no opinion as of this moment.
The European translation of Zero Wing.
Sometimes, but I believe more in Don McLean.
Yes.
It would be if I was a Protoss warrior.
I have no idea.
Sometimes.
Knowing him, it's just a patch.  He may say differently, though.
No, I haven't.  But I may at some point.

As for my new avatar... Ren's art thread holds the story for those who are curious. Just read on.

[Gabi]

Is my IF Jer-oh-me?

[Lisky]

I'm taking a shot a VSMIT

runner up, Jer-oh-me

[Jairus]

Few more answers, and the pics are all in! Yay!

Dear Invisible Friend,
Are you going to send in a picture?
What country are you in?
What general area of that country are you in?

Yes, but...it does suck. A lot. non-plussed
USA

Basilisk2150's IF said...

what's up with IF's this round?

well, mine seems to be around, so i'll ask a few more questions....

Dear IF
Cookie, medal or small parade?
Casual Dating, or Good Friend?
how would you rate the sanity of the average user on this board on
whatever scale you please? (please include the scale for reference)
do you trust me?
feeling a little deja-vu?

I ate them. *Burp.* Oops. Sorry.
A small parade of medal-shaped cookies.
Good friend.
Using the scale of A.D.'s imprecise mathematics... I'd say 'very low'.
Should I?
A little, now that you mention it.

[Gabi]

That is NOT a cube.

Have I commented on all the images yet, or have I missed any?

[VSMIT]

Techmaster.

[Jer-oh-me]

E Voyager in the Boiler Room with the Desk Chair.

[e_voyager]

i really should know this.
it be not Gabi or Jairus .
Basilisk2150 a friend it could possible be
but Jer-oh-me a coincidence bee
so VSIMIT i choose thee.

[techmaster-glitch]

I believe my IF is Basilisk.

[Jairus]

Okay, that seems to be everyone. So, let's see who won...

Gabi guessed Jer-oh-me. She guessed right!
Basilisk2150 guessed VSMIT. He guessed wrong: his IF was Gabi.
VSMIT guessed techmaster-glitch. He guessed right!
Jer-oh-me guessed e_voyager. He guessed right!
e_voyager guessed VSMIT. He guessed right!
techmaster-glitch guessed Basilisk2150. He guessed right!

So, the winners this round were Gabi, VSMIT, Jer-oh-me, e_voyager, and techmaster-glitch. Congratulations to you all! Sorry, Basil, better luck next time.

So, I guess that ends Round 37 and begins Round 38. Sign up now! Oh, and I'll be happy to host again.

[Gabi]

Then I'll be happy to play again.

So... Jer-oh-me, do you remember what you said you'd tell me once the round was over?

And Bas, sorry if I messed around with the answers too much. I was trying to avoid the possibility of an elimination process. If you want to know what I'd really answer to any of those questions, feel free to ask.

[Lisky]

haha, don't worry about it, the way you answered seemed so... masculine... that i ruled you out from the get go.  So yea, no biggie...

anyways, i'd be up for another round

[e_voyager]

sign up host it's all good for me. yes i'll be taking part this round. trice spoken once fulfilled.

[Gabi]

Masculine? Interesting. Even the first set of answers? Because that one was entirely sincere.

Well, i guess i'll get this ball rolling...

Dear invisible friend

How are you doing?
What is the weather like?
if you had the choice of eternal youth, or infinite wealth which would
you choose, and why?
i'm going to try some questions i enjoyed thinking through last round
Do you believe humans are naturally good, and learn evil later in
life, or are naturally evil, and learn good later in life?
Would you prefer 'Might is right' or 'might for right' as a way of thinking?
if you could be an animal, what would you be, and why?

Good, thanks. What about you?

Decent.

It's have to analyze the possible consequences carefully. Eternal
youth seems more appealing at first sight, but if it means surviving
every other living being and even the destruction of the world we live
in, and quite possibly being immolated while still remaining alive,
then infinite wealth seems a safer option. Then again, how would this
wealth manifest, and how would I be able to access it? And, just as
important, who would know about it?

Sure, but I must warn you: I won't give the same answer to the same
question twice.

I think that's a trick question. I don't believe either is right.
Newborns have no concept of good and evil. Those are things we learn
in the same way that we learn to speak and to walk. Babies simply act
on impulse and try to fulfill their needs.

If 'might for right' means using your power for what you believe is
right, then that's the obvious choice. The other option would mean
everything that's possible is justified: you could go around killing
babies just because you can and you would see nothing wrong with that.

Human. Because only then would I get to enjoy intellectual challenges.

Now as before, I will not give the same answer to the same question twice. So players will have to come up with new questions, because seeing the same questions again and again is not so fun. That set I've just quoted was interesting, though.

[Lisky]

i knew i should have gone back to those... 

oh well...

[e_voyager]

well i'm not sure if i'm asking the same questions over and over again but i try to make it fun.

[Gabi]

It's OK. By the way, I've updated the Hall of Fame.

[Jer-oh-me]

Then I'll be happy to play again.

So... Jer-oh-me, do you remember what you said you'd tell me once the round was over?

And Bas, sorry if I messed around with the answers too much. I was trying to avoid the possibility of an elimination process. If you want to know what I'd really answer to any of those questions, feel free to ask.

Ahem, concerning Phi, the greek character Phi (Φ) is used to represent a number, this number is special. Φ translates roughly out to One and Six-hundred Eighteen thousandths. The integer One ratio to this number is referred to as the Golden ratio. Though this is an approximation, it is sufficient for the purpose of producing the stunning image with which I provided you, which is referred to as a Golden Rectangle Spiral, at least I think it is. Regardless of what it is called, the squares are always 1:1.618 of the rectangle they are part of. I hope that is sufficient explanation.

I'm up for another round, gimme another easy one!

[Gabi]

Ah, yes, (1+sqrt(5))/2, I've heard about it a few times. But how could that reveal your identity?

[e_voyager]

we are identified by what we are known for , by and what we are known to like including math and robots.

[Gabi]

That's only if there aren't many of us who like the same things. I made a math-related drawing once myself.

[e_voyager]

nods i remember. you made it for me

[Jer-oh-me]

Hmmm, I can't really remember why I was thinking that telling you about it being a golden rectangle spiral thingamabob would have given too much away, other than my having toyed with E previously concerning mathematics...

Anyway, I'm going to have to come up with some other manner of providing pictures.

[Lisky]

well, i did my IF's picture already...

[e_voyager]

for this round? already? wow but why? you don't know what they'll like yet or do you know who you'll get?

[Lisky]

thats very true, but in class, i drew something so amazing, it has to be shared...
