Game: Invisible Friend - Now playing round 47.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Dear Invisible Friend,

How are you?
Have you played this game before?

Dear Aiyno,

I'm good, thanks for asking.
I don't think this question will help you, as it has already been said that all of the participants have been in at least one previous round.

Dear Invisible Friend,

I remain well.

Do you enjoy doing any form of art? (Writing/Drawing/Etc.)
Do you play video games?
What's your favorite TV show?
Science-fiction or fantasy?

Yes, I do.
Sometimes.
I don't watch much TV lately.
Mostly fantasy, but good science fiction has its charm.

Dear Invisible Friend,
How are you?
Did you take part in the previous round of IF?
Have you ever hosted a round of Invisible Friend?
Coffee or tea?
MadTV or SNL (if either)?

Have a good day!

Dear one who is seen.

I am invisible, that's all you need know.
Yes.
No.
Tea.
Neither.
I will.

IF,

- Pita chips? Are those flavored or are they like dried pita bread? Are they like tortilla chips, used with dips and salsas?
- Who is your favourite character from Firefly, and which character do you think you're the most like?
- What is the fastest speed you know your body has moved? (I.E. aircraft cruising speed, fastest speed in an automobile, best speed on a bicycle, etcetera)
- Are you involved in any form of artistic expression?

- Basically, they're baked pita bread, so they're kind of like thick tortilla chips. And they can be flavored, and you can use them with dips: my favorite is hummus.
- Mal. He's my favorite. Though really, I love all of them. As for who I think that I'm most like... Hm, I'll go with Wash.
- Aircraft cruising speed, I'd imagine.
- Yes.

Jairus' invisible friend also posted this image, which I'm not sure how well it will pan out, but we'll see:

Dear Invisible Friend .

do you have odd luck in this game?
do you like tea?
do you have a favorite color?
what color would it be?
what is jay's friend thinking?
do you think  that image counts?

[Gabi]

Whoa, that's big! And ASCII-y. I guess the forum doesn't limit the size of ASCII art the way it limits image files.

Dear Invisible Friend, please remember to answer my questions on the previous page.

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend...

Interesting image... I don't think I've ever been able to do one of those correctly. Or at all.

What kind of art do you most enjoy doing? Are any examples of your art here on the forum?
What's kind of video games do you prefer to play? (RPG, platformer, sport?)
What's your favorite fantasy series?
What's your idea of "good science fiction?"
Eastern-style Giant Robots or Western-style Giant Robots? (ie, Gundam vs. MechWarrior)

[Jer-oh-me]

Heh, I was wondering how many people'd be Washes.

Where's the strangest place you've ever been?

Which of your parents do you more closely associate with?

Are you dating?

[e_voyager]

dear invisible friend.

it seems that our question have been put on hold for at least a day.

Do you think that is the GM's doing?
do you thing that others aren't answering the questions asked?
have you answered my questions already by the time i post this?
are you a long time forum member?

[VSMIT]

Dear Invisible Friend,
Perhaps I should have clarified: Did you take part in the round that I hosted?
What do you think of the picture sent in by Jairus's invisible friend?
What do you think of Aiyno's questions?
I'd like to ask them now, as well.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Dear IF, where was everyone yesterday? Do you know?

What did you do yesterday?

And how do you guess about people on the forum?

i'm sorry Gabi, i can't tell you that.
I'm sorry Gabi but that information is unavailable at this time.
I'm sorry Gabi I was isolated form all internet on that day.
I'm sorry gabi but the term intuition do not fully cover the answer your question but it is the answer i have to give.

Dear Invisible Friend .

Dear E,

Not really, I try to learn how someone writes and answers their questions.
Yes
I do.
It tends to change a lot, blue would suit me best at the time.
I'm not psychic
I'm not sure what llearch's view is, it wasn't really drawn, so most likely not.

Dear invisible friend,

I honestly don't know what to say...

I wonder if you knew how hard it would be for me to answer this set of questions. I will answer in no particular order.

Good science fiction is, IMHO, science fiction with believable characters and situations, which leaves you thinking after you've read it. As opposed to science fiction that consists of a mere display of complex technology and dehumanized characters.

I play different kinds of games depending on how I feel at the moment and how much time I have available, although my tastes in video games are not the most common these days.

I enjoy many forms of art, but the one that fills me the most is the art of arranging words (there's a lot more to it, of course, but basically that's what it is, just like music is the art of arranging sounds and photography is the art of arranging light). As you can see, the forum is full of it, this post included.

Giant robots may vary in design, but once they begin to destroy everything around them the last thing that would cross my mind would be to appreciate their appearance or the style of their attacks.

As for your other question... it's a hard choice and I see no reason to make it. I'd rather enjoy them than rank them.

Heh, I was wondering how many people'd be Washes.

Where's the strangest place you've ever been?

Hm... of the top of my head, and right now, either Hearst Castle  in California or the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. There were a few strange things there.
My mom.
Not currently.

[Gabi]

Dear Invisible Friend, aren't you being a bit unfair? Answers are better than apologies in this game. Then again, you probably know that and that's why you don't want to give them, but I don't think that's fair.

Anyway, what kinds of questions do you feel comfortable answering?

What do you think about Aiyno's questions?

What colors can you name?

[Jer-oh-me]

Aha, I've not been to the Yucatan, but I've lived in Mexico. Yo vivía al noroeste de la ciudad de Mexico por dos años.

¿Perdón, me olvidé de preguntar si se puede leer en español. Puede, ¿verdad?

Anyway, Spanish is my Second language so I'll be switching back to my native language. How do you prefer to organize the date when you write it? I'd write todays as F26SEP08 tomorrow is Z27SEP08. So I go S M T W Θ F Z, 1-28,29,30,31, JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC, YY. How do you write it?

What was the last piece of music you listened to?

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend...

No, I had no idea how difficult. Sorry about that.

What would you say is your favorite video game of all time?
Heh, good point on the robots. But from a design and style standpoint, which do you prefer?
Pepsi or Coke?
What was your favorite place to go on vacation to?

[Gabi]

Jer-oh-me, Spanish is my native language and I'm afraid I can't quite make out what you've said.

Are you asking whether Spanish is allowed here, or whether your IF can read Spanish?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Also, as an admin, I should frown upon you posting without translation. What with rule 8 and all...

If Gabi can't figure it out, then there's no hope that your IF will. Even if she is...

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I'm sorry if i was i'll try to answer better this time.
i'll answer any questions i can for you.
i don't understand them.
as many as Google and the color wheel can find.

now visible friend i have a question for you. which do you like better?

What was the last piece of music you listened to?

Ah, I see. Why were you living there?

Well, my translator can handle it, so I can read it. I don't know if it's allowed, though. As for me, "No hablo mucho español, señor."

Day, month, year. So tomorrow's date (as of this writing ) will be "9-27-08." Occasionally, I'll do something like "Saturday, September twenty-seventh, two-thousand-eight," but that's rare.

Before I read your question, "STORY" by camino. Before I sent this off, "End of All Hope" by Nightwish.

Dear Invisible Friend...

No, I had no idea how difficult. Sorry about that.

What would you say is your favorite video game of all time?
Heh, good point on the robots. But from a design and style standpoint, which do you
prefer?
Pepsi or Coke?
What was your favorite place to go on vacation to?

I'm tempted to accept your apology, but you keep asking me to make tough choices.

Question 1: tough choice! I'll go with Ecco The Dolphin for Sega CD for the sheer bewilderment of the concept.
I like the Eastern design better than the MechWarrior style, but I like Transformers better than either.
Neither.
A place with forests, lakes and mountains. Closely followed by a place with forests, sea and mountains and a place with forests, lakes and wild berries.

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend...

Wow, it's hard to ask a non-tough choice question. Sorry about that, but I guess my questions will probably still come across as hard. I'll try to keep them simpler.

Which is your favorite Transformer?
Well, what is your favorite brand of soda? If you don't don't drink soda, what's your favorite thing to drink?
Okay, how about a video game I might have heard of? ... just kidding.
Do you have a favorite board game?
Do you have a favorite movie?
Have you ever been to Yosemite? It's really beautiful from what I remember.

[Gabi]

Yay, answers!

I like the first one better, but the second one's nice too. Thanks!

What's the color wheel?  Anyway, I asked you to name colors, not websites. <- friendly sticking out of tongue, no offense meant.

Can you speak any languages other than English? If so, can you please write a phrase in some other language? If not, is there a reason why you haven't learnt any?

If you could do anything you wanted (without money nor anything else being an obstacle), what would you do?

[Suwako]

Dear invisible friend,

What are your favorite colors?
What  is your best furry friend?
Who is your best furry friend?
Who is purple and not evil?
Who is green and evil?

dear e_voyager

Perhaps he was working, perhaps he was occupied with other things.
Deciding whether or not to answer a question is part of how the game is played.
No, I had not or had not send them to llearch.
Looking at the influx of new people, I guess I am.

They don't have to be choice questions.
Anyway, I'll do my best to answer whatever you throw at me.

My favorite Transformer? It's been a long time... I think it was BlueStreak. I prefer to drink infusions, water, juice, milk or herbal drinks, but if it has to be soda, then I prefer tonic water. Or guarana, if I can find it.

Hey, it's a dolphin with superpowers who travels through time and fights aliens! And still somehow managed to have a coherent and even interesting plot. Something like that is hard to beat.

I hadn't thought about it, but I think I've had the most fun playing Pictionary.

No, sorry. There are too many good movies to single one out as my favorite.

No, I haven't. Tell me more about it. What's in there?

Yay, answers!

I like the first one better, but the second one's nice too. Thanks!

Dear Gabi.
i'm glad you like them.

the color wheel was learned in school when you mix the three primary colors and two nutral colors. i can like you to a web sight showing one if you like. off the top of my head i can name maybe 30.

no i can't. i'm not very good at language skills.

i want to fly. fly free like a bird.

Dear invisible friend,

What are your favorite colors?

Dear Aiyno,

Black, black, and black.  And don't forget black.

Dear Invisible Friend,
What makes them not questions?  They are interrogatory.

[Jer-oh-me]

My father was there to set up a manufacturing plant. Why were you in the Yucatan?

Blah?

Do you like the Madness videos?

[Suwako]

Dear invisible friend,

What is the most awesome country in the world?
What is the most awful  country in the world?
What are you discriminate against?
Do you like dirt?
Is the sand yellow where you hail from?

[e_voyager]

Dear invisible friend.

What makes a super fighting robot a super fighting robot?
do you have green eyes on your profile picture?
are you described as male or female?
Do you others confuse your gender?

[Jairus]

Okay... I'll just try some open-ended questions.
Incidentally, Yosemite is a national park in California. It's huge - like a thousand square miles - but most people only see a small bit. The place was carved out by a glacier during one of the Ice Ages: great granite mountains, waterfalls, trees everywhere... it is just incredible. Unfortunately my memory is a little fuzzy since I was in 2nd grade when I was there last. I should visit again.
Um... right, questions.

Dear Invisible Friend...

What's your favorite season of the year?
Have you ever traveled outside of your country of birth?
How many roads must a man walk down?
What's your favorite holiday?
For about how long have you been reading DMFA/CVRPG?

... and that's what I've got for now.

What makes them not questions?  They are interrogatory.

One who I can see,
They are not interrogative, they are merely symbols followed by question marks.

My father was there to set up a manufacturing plant. Why were you in the Yucatan?

Blah?

Do you like the Madness videos?

That's very interesting. I was there with my church group, visiting our sister church in Tekax.
Blah.
Never heard of them. What are they?
Incidentally, was "Blah" in question to my not knowing much Spanish, my arrangement of dates, or my choice in music?

Dear Invisible Friend,
I am pretty sure I know who you are, just from your use of cold logic.
Why are you so logical?
Batman or Ironman?

[Gabi]

Dear Invisible Friend, do you like cold logic? What about warm logic?

Why do we seem to be so busy these days?

Why the duck-billed platypus?

Dear invisible friend,

What is the most awesome country in the world?
What is the most awful  country in the world?
What are you discriminate against?
Do you like dirt?
Is the sand yellow where you hail from?

Dear Aiyno,

Not the one I'm in.
There is probably more than one, but I am not privy to that information.
People.  But I'm not racist.  That's just wrong.
Depends on what I'm doing at the time.
No, it's brown.

Dear invisible friend.

What makes a super fighting robot a super fighting robot?
do you have green eyes on your profile picture?
are you described as male or female?
Do you others confuse your gender?

Dear e_voyager,

It's capabilities I suppose.
In essence, all is a mixture of either brown or blue, in eyes that is.
Of course, but is not everyone?
Not I know of.

Okay... I'll just try some open-ended questions.
Incidentally, Yosemite is a national park in California. It's huge - like a thousand square miles - but most people only see a small bit. The place was carved out by a glacier during one of the Ice Ages: great granite mountains, waterfalls, trees everywhere... it is just incredible. Unfortunately my memory is a little fuzzy since I was in 2nd grade when I was there last. I should visit again.
Um... right, questions.

Dear Invisible Friend...

What's your favorite season of the year?
Have you ever traveled outside of your country of birth?
How many roads must a man walk down?
What's your favorite holiday?
For about how long have you been reading DMFA/CVRPG?

... and that's what I've got for now.

Fall. Or autumn, as some may call it.
Yes.
That's not the question, but for the sake of this argument I shall say 42.
New Year's Day.
Quite a while, actually

Dear Invisible Friend, do you like cold logic? What about warm logic?

Why do we seem to be so busy these days?

Why the duck-billed platypus?

not really it's too cold.
i've never heard of warm logic before. is it tasty?
life is busy taking us over so we are busy trying to hold out.
why not? would a loon billed one be better?

dear invisible friend.

dear e_voyager
undoubtedly.

I am around.
Invisible friends don't ask questions all to much, the answers I got where interesting.
So that it would be obvious who their invisible friend is I presume.
Tigress
Undoubtedly
One fox.
I feel not inclined to answer that.
