[Gabi]

Dear invisible friend,

How are you?

i guess you could say i'm doing well.

Dear chameleon like friend

how are you doing?
is this the real life or is it just fantasy?
Fleebs?
are you caught in a land slide, no escape form reality?
who was the the singing, dancing, immortal frog in the box?

Dear E_voyager

Decent, though I am struggeling to handle recent events.
It is most likely that this is reality.
Deebs?
There are always means as to escape reality, however one must face responsibility sooner or later.
Assuming you are referring to our beloved llearch, I simply have no idea.

Dear Translucent Thinker,

Have you considered how much fun this will be?

*cough* I'll just stop there. ;-]

Dear Visible Friend

-This should be lots of fun, what do you think?
-I have won before, but how will this bit of information help you?
-I am rather confused by this question.  Are we talking other forum games? or other games in general?
-I prefer games are fun while i'm playing them, having such silly preferences would limit my perspectives and opinions while they are forming about any given game
-My Parents may have had additional offspring, but who really knows?
-See above answer
-Enjoy the taste is again a tough question, it all depends on the drink.
-I am of legal age in my country of residence

Why stop now?  There is much we could learn about each other.

[Lisky]

Dear friend of unquestionable transparency ,

How are you doing right now?

Do you feel people are naturally good at birth, and learn evil later?  or is it the other way around?

Do you speak any other languages besides English?  if so, what are they?

Are you planning on going anywhere around the 4th of July?

[Suwako]

Dear invisible friend,

Dear Visible Friend,

Pretty good. You?
I feel that good and evil are concepts that humans made up. So, we're not born good or evil.
Not with any proficiency.
Yes.

...Anyone else?

[Lisky]

Dear Visibility challenged friend,

I'm doing quite well

do you have a job?  If so, do you enjoy it?

do you drink alcoholic beverages, and if so, what would be your type of choice? (Eg. vodka, gin, etc.)

do you have any regrets?

have you ever had a moment where all you could say was something along the lines off "what the eff?"?

lastly,

would you consider yourself, young or old at heart?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Dear Transparent Thinker,


I think it'll be fun. Maybe not over the weekend, I'm a bit busy then, but after that...
I was hoping that not everyone playing has won before. I hadn't looked, though. It might rule out one or two people, though. And since there's only five playing, I can already rule out one (me), which might make it only 3 options, of which one is unlikely (my VF)... I'll have to go look, though.
I had in mind other games in general, but other forum games would suffice as an answer. After all, we're just asking questions, here. *grin* Have you played other forum games?
I'd hope you would know - after all, one presumes you grew up with them. Admittedly, in this day and age that's a bit of an assumption, but a reasonable one, since for many people, it's accurate...
I stopped then, because I had other things to do. Don't we all?

And, having answered all your questions, I have a few more of my own...

Aren't I supposed to be asking the questions? Or are you just making pleasant conversation? ;-]
Are you deliberately confusing the replies, or just following along and seeing where we end up?
Have you stayed up a lot?
Do you usually go to bed before midnight?
Are you a student, officially, or out in the workforce? I'm aware that often times, students are out in the workforce as well, but you get the idea - I'm enquiring after your main occupation, not the things you do on the side to make ends meet. We can get to those later ;-]

... Basi has a good question. Would you consider yourself young at heart?


... And now, I need to sleep, so I'll leave it until some other time. I'll be busy over the weekend, so I probably won't be able to ask any more questions until next monday, unless I get some time free tomorrow. I'll attempt to get back to you, though.

[e_voyager]

dear friend hiding in plain sight.... i know you're here some where.

the frog was Michigan J Frog.
Fleebs are and martian them. Marvin the martian gave Green larten some back in 2000.
now for some question that i know little about

who is the half blood price?
what is the truth of meaning?
what is the purpose of meaning.
what are you hiding in a box?
how many snakes are there in metal gear?
according to Xanth who is Stanley and Stella steamer?
Do you have a magical mind?
would that you could?
do you remember the time that Mab got a catnip bouquet?
do the macarena?
the pants, the pants?
who won the war if 1812?
how do you stop a voyager form voyaging?
who is Catherine aura?

[Gabi]

Dear Very Visible Jairus,

I'm terribly sorry, I didn't see your post there. Can you forgive me for
keeping you waiting?

I'm fine, if a little busy. And somewhat tired. Nothing unusual, though.
Ooo. About 20, 25 or so. Too many to start listing, though.
In the last year, you mean? Probably The Princess Bride, I think. But
then, that's been my favourite for years.
The Redemption of Althalus, by David Eddings. It's a close call, though,
because I've enjoyed a few by Tom Holt, as well...
A wireless one with buttons on it.
Some, but not many.
What is this, some sort of Spanish Inquisition?
Not right now, no.
I tend to avoid those, they rot your teeth. And your mind.
I do.
I do that, too.

Dear e_voyager

Dracula
Without truth the meaning is false.
Giving someone something to live for.
I think that would be Llearch, wouldn't it? Though, he is not really in my possession.
None that I know of.
Someone of importance I suppose.
The minds workings are not completely understood yet, although some say they are.
Perhaps?
Yes.
Hula hula.
Trousers.
Those who lost everything.
By refering to starwars: Voyager
I would not know.

Dear Visible Friend,

Little from column A, little from column B

Quite the latter. I find more fun will be had by all if we go off on wild tangents, don't you?

I have on occasion, stayed up.

It depends on the day, if I've got work, I try and get to bed early.  Likewise, if something is going on, I'll stay up on the later side.

I am of the student profession for now, though that should be done with fairly soon.

I would say my chronological age is far higher than my level of maturity.  So yes, i would call myself "young at heart".

Dear Visibility challenged friend, I'm doing quite well do you have a job?  If so, do you enjoy it? do you drink alcoholic beverages, and if so, what would be your type of choice? (Eg. vodka, gin, etc.) do you have any regrets? have you ever had a moment where all you could say was something along the lines off "what the eff?"? lastly, would you consider yourself, young or old at heart?

Dear Visible Friend,

Good to hear.
Not yet, but hopefully soon.
No, I don't drink.
Who doesn't?
Oh, indeed. Many many many many times.
Hm... I'll go with young at heart. Though I'm not sure

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Have you ever been involved in a hangi - either setting up, distributing, or consuming?
Do you have any idea what it is? ;-]
Do you play roleplaying games? Any in particular you enjoy?
Do you read webcomics? If so, could you list a few you think are of high quality, and explain why?
Have you thought about how to mess with people's heads?

Yours,

[Gabi]

OK, llearch, that's your excuse. What about the other players? I only have 1 set of answers to post:

So llearch is my invisible friend? 

[Gabi]

I haven't said that. Nor have I said otherwise. I got 1 e-mail and there was 1 post besides your own. Whether they belong to the same person or not, I will not say. You will have to guess.

Do you prefer to be the center of attention, or more behind the scenes when it comes to social events?

would you call yourself introverted or extroverted?

[Jairus]

Dear Visible friend made from processed tree,

No need to worry, you dealt with real life first, and showed a good deal of responsibility.

Can't say i've ever been to a kiwi-barbecue-esque cookout, but they sound delightful.

I've played a few, and my favorites have to be just about anything by Bethesda, Fallout 3 and Morrowind are my top picks by a good margin.

I read a few, but naming some as 'better' than others strikes me as a little pretentious, some have better art, some have a more in-depth story, and others just amuse me.  It all depends on what I'm in the mood for at a given moment which would decide that opinion.

Have i ever not thought about how to mess with people's heads? that would be a far more appropriate question.

Dear Visible Friend,

Nah, it's okay.
I used to play soccer a long time ago, and I also practiced Kempo Karate for a number of years, but not any more.
Mythbusters. Entertaining and educational. Did you know that a lava lamp can explode with lethal force?
Behind the scenes.
I suspect introverted, despite my usual open and pretty friendly personality.

I have more than one sibling, yes.

Dear invisible friend,

In a game of cat and mouse, which would you rather be?

Would your opinion change if the mouse had access to high explosives and an inexplicable knowledge of how to use them?

Do you have any siblings? if so, do you get along with them?

would you rather have eternal youth, or infinite wealth?  why would you make that your decision?

Lastly, if spider man does whatever a spider can, does that mean he suffers from a massive boot phobia, as well as has a really hard time getting out of the bath tub?

A wallow hog?
I do, though sometimes I don't remember.
Depends on what bat that bat is.
Are you trying to get that song stuck in my head?
Too many.
I don't know, not very familiar with the comics at all.
I suppose a couple of times, however I never really followed DC comics that closely. The amount that I read I never really remembered.
Clark Kent junior?
Clark Kent senior?
That there is none.
Yes.
Every morning.
The question is why would you want it in digits? Why not incorporate it in a formula as Pi to the 5th? It's more exact and shorter than using five separate digits.

[Suwako]

Awh, I expected moar informative answers. This does not contribute at all!

Dear invisible friend,

Does these answers mean that you see no difference in value of someones life? I see a young child having many more years to live than an older person to be somewhat of greater value. I also see human life as more valueable than many given animals. Of course this perspective changes if I was nearer to the figures. Of course all life is precious, however one must acknowledge the importance of a figure in their lives. .... My head hurt D:

Anyways! more questions from the questionpot, let's go!

Do you walk to work/school often?
Is public transportation decent were you life?

The cat.
In this case, I'll be the animal control officer dispatched to kill the both of them.
I do. And I do... well, kinda.
Youth. Then I've got time to get that infinite wealth.
Dunno. Also, when he dies, do his arms and legs fold up around his body?

Heya,


Do you think I know who you are? Do you think I should?
How are you getting on with the image you need to make?

Dear friend made of dubious building material,

I would say you could probably narrow my identity down pretty well.  So yes, i feel you've probably good idea who i am.

Should you know, if you don't by know, when i send my image you probably will.

As for the picture, it's going alright, not done yet, but i'm sure you'll enjoy it
