Game: Invisible Friend (Sign up for Round 53)

[VSMIT]

I'll probably do it in my spare time, but I wouldn't be able to get the pairings from the old board.

[Darkdragon]

Llearch has a record of the old board, although I can't recall how to access that record. You are most welcome to ask him about that.

[VSMIT]

Gone through 2 rounds so far, back then they didn't post the list, so it's rather tedious figuring out who was who's IF.  Like in Round 9, there were 8 players, but only 4 winners.  The 4 losers were not told who their IF was, publicly anyway.

[Darkdragon]

The archivist inside of me weeps for this loss of information. You could, of course, PM the other contestants and hope they kept their PM saying who their VF is, but the earlier rounds might be lost because to the best of my knowledge PMs were not moved from the old forum to the new one.

Or you can ask Gabi and see if she still has a record of all the E-mails from when the hosted those rounds.

[VSMIT]

Many of the players in the early rounds are either inactive or banned (in one case, I think).  I'll deal with it for now, though.

Current status: Round 11. (Of 41...)

[e_voyager]

Let me see. let me see who all is playing this round.
Darkdragon, Gabi, Jairus, Jer-oh-me, Shadowterm and VSMIT. did i miss anyone?

Edit
the private messages are away this round will end in the customary time frame. enjoy andhave fun all. here's wishing you the best of luck

[Gabi]

I didn't explicitly sign up, but meh, why not?

I'll borrow these questions from Fibre's gifter, because I found them amusing.

Dear  IF,

Do you have a favorite color?
What kind of animals do you like?
What is your favorite time of year?

[e_voyager]

allow me to apologize Gabi. i was under the impression that you wished to be part of this round

[VSMIT]

Let's start this round off with a couple easy questions.
Dear Invisible Friend,
What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?
Why did you decide to be in this round of Invisible Friend?  Please explain thoroughly, using as many sources as possible.

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend,

I'm going to crib a bit off of VSMIT...
What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?
What is your shoe size?
Wehn ist das Nünstuck geht und Slotermeyer?
Where'd you get the coconuts?
Do I take it that you are proposing to slaughter our tenants?
Have you got anything without SPAM?
Is there something going on?
What's that penguin doing there?
In a more serious question, do you have any pets?

[Darkdragon]

Dear invisible friend:

What prompted you to join the forum?
What are your views regarding genocide, and what do you propose to end the violence?
What do you propose to combat poverty in first-world countries? In third-world countries?
Do you think space travel should be commercialized? Why or why not?
What are your views regarding government aid to fine arts practitioners?

Would you like to partake in a game of twenty questions?

EDIT: I'll avoid the Monty Python questions for now, despite being a fan of their surreal humour.

[Gabi]

It's OK, e, I wasn't clear on that respect.

[Jer-oh-me]

Dear Invisible Friend,

Hi there, how are you?

Do you speak any languages other than English?

Dogs, cats, or both?

Should the dollar be a coin?

Do you like any sports?

[e_voyager]

and so the answers roll in.

Dear invisible friend:

What prompted you to join the forum?
What are your views regarding genocide, and what do you propose to end
the violence?
What do you propose to combat poverty in first-world countries? In
third-world countries?
Do you think space travel should be commercialized? Why or why not?
What are your views regarding government aid to fine arts practitioners?

Would you like to partake in a game of twenty questions?

EDIT: I'll avoid the Monty Python questions for now, despite being a
fan of their surreal humour.

The 'Register' link.
Genocide is bad. But stopping violence takes time. I think the first
step would be to stop adding wood to the fire, and try to focus on
teaching the new generations better ways.
Why isn't there a second world? Anyway, I think a better and more
accessible education, more job offers, and authorities who can lead by
example would do the trick in both cases. Although I am aware that
those conditions aren't likely to be met any time soon.
Maybe someday, if it somehow becomes cheap, but not for now. All the
money that goes into space travel would be better put to use in
solving more urgent problems.
I think it's a good thing. Arts are an important part of culture, and
culture is vital to a nation's strength and identity.
As you wish.

I found them.
Nah, I figured I'd rough them up a bit.
Yeah, you don't have SPAM!
It's a hospital, there's always something going on.
Minding its own business.
Yes.

Dear Invisible Friend,

Dogs, cats, or both?

Do you like any sports?

Dear Visible Friend,

I'm a little tired, but I'm fine; thanks for asking.

Yes.

Neither.

Yes.

Not really.

we're off to a good start i'd say

[Darkdragon]

Dear intangible friend:

How do you think the medical research should be encouraged to develop inexpensive cures for primarily third-world diseases?
Do you consider yourself more of an artist, a writer or a musician?
Where would you place the fine line between "healthy" and "unhealthy" in the realm of desire?

Ok, some 20 questions questions:
Is it an animal, vegetable (plant), mineral or other?
Is it larger than a 15" laptop monitor? (About 30cm by 22cm)

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend,

What kind of pets do you have?
How's the weather were you are?
What kind of video games do you play, if any?
What's your favorite movie?
What's your favorite book?
Superman or Batman?
What's the farthest distance you've ever driven, where you were driving the car?
Have you ever visited a foreign country? If so, which ones?

[shadowterm]

To my invisible friend.

Whats up?

What's your dream?

How would you describe yourself?

[Jer-oh-me]

Dear Invisible Friend,

Hmm, gonna swipe questions used by VSMIT and Jairus,

What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?
What is your shoe size?
Wehn ist das Nünstuck geht und Slotermeyer?
Where'd you get the coconuts?
Do I take it that you are proposing to slaughter our tenants?

What's that penguin doing there?
In a more serious question, do you have any pets?

[Gabi]

Dear IF, will you please answer my questions?

You haven't signed up and then forgotten about the game, have you?

What have you been doing this weekend?

[e_voyager]

Questions answers arrived this morning but i had no time to post them before work  here they are sorry about thew delay

Let's start this round off with a couple easy questions.
Dear Invisible Friend,
What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?
Why did you decide to be in this round of Invisible Friend?  Please explain thoroughly, using as many sources as possible.

To reveal my name would be counter productive.

My 'quest' is to remain unknown to you for as long as possible.

My favorite color is red, no blue! As I careen comically down a pit, I scream, actually it's green.

Points for the Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail reference by the way. IT!

I decided to play this round because I had nothing conceivably better to do at the time. Also, sorry for the delay. I was doing a lot this weekend.

To my invisible friend.

Whats up?

What's your dream?

How would you describe yourself?

dear visible friend,

Not much. you?
Youll need to be more specific.
As me. Seriously I nver give it much thought.

Dear intangible friend:

How do you think the medical research should be encouraged to develop
inexpensive cures for primarily third-world diseases?
Do you consider yourself more of an artist, a writer or a musician?
Where would you place the fine line between "healthy" and "unhealthy"
in the realm of desire?

Ok, some 20 questions questions:
Is it an animal, vegetable (plant), mineral or other?
Is it larger than a 15" laptop monitor? (About 30cm by 22cm)

I think it mostly needs
some funding. Perhaps more research incentives so that more people can
dedicate themselves to finding and producing those cures. Also more
accessible information sources, and more laboratory equipment... And,
of course, supporting the people in the affected countries who are
trying to conduct their own research. They already have a head start,
as they know the most about their environment and the diseases that
affect them.

Sorry, I don't understand that question.

Yes.
No.

I didn't explicitly sign up, but meh, why not?

I'll borrow these questions from Fibre's gifter, because I found them amusing.

Dear  IF,

Do you have a favorite color?
What kind of animals do you like?
What is your favorite time of year?

Dear Gabi,
Do you have a favorite color?
Dark blue.

What kind of animals do you like?
Some species of rodent, like gerbil or roo-rat.

What is your favorite time of year?
"I think the most wonderful time of the year is Spring, I do.  Don't you?  'Course you do..."

Dear IF, will you please answer my questions?

You haven't signed up and then forgotten about the game, have you?

What have you been doing this weekend?

Dear Gabi, I have answered your questions.
You haven't signed up and then forgotten about the game, have you?
Of course not.

What have you been doing this weekend?
I've been finding ways to keep myself busy.

Dear Invisible Friend,

What kind of pets do you have?
How's the weather were you are?
What kind of video games do you play, if any?
What's your favorite movie?
What's your favorite book?
Superman or Batman?
What's the farthest distance you've ever driven, where you were driving the car?
Have you ever visited a foreign country? If so, which ones?

,A dog.
26°C, Calm, Clear, and w/ 45% humidity
All kinds.
That's a hard question to answer.
Again.
Batman, Superman can suck all he wants somewhere else.
Approximately 4,000km
Yes, Mexico & Canada.

those are the question set for today. this game is moving along very well on set of portable answers each day so far.

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend,

What kind of dog? And have you owned other dogs?
What's the first gaming system you had, and if you can remember, what's the first game you ever played?
Well, what's the best movie you saw in the last year?
What's the best book you've read in the last year?
Have you read Watchmen?
Where were you driving?
So, how was Mexico and Canada?

[Darkdragon]

Dear transparent friend:

Do you consider yourself more of an artist, a writer or a musician?

Let me rephase. Consider desire - a want. How much desire would be considered too much (id est unhealthy)?

Do you think popular culture programs should depict phenomena more realistically, especially concerning the sciences?

Erm, you might not be aware, but the first question in a game of 20 questions is "Is it an animal, vegetable or mineral?". "Yes" isn't a valid answer, but it is one anyways. Moving on.

Has a part of this thing ever been alive?
Is it something which one can see in the city?

[shadowterm]

Dear invisible fiend.

You misspelled 'never' in your answer, I thought I'd point out that establishing yourself as a sloppy writer is either a stroke of genius, or something you may want to avoid.

As for questions, what genre of music do you like?
What is your favorite movie?
What is your favorite video game.

[e_voyager]
