Game: Invisible Friend (Sign up for Round 53)

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Now this is for llearch: congrats on getting the job, I hope it gets better soon.

It's contract for a couple days. Nothing more. So I'm still looking for "real work".

[Noone]

Dear Invisible friend:

What do you think of the price of college tuitions?

What makes you happy?

Do you feel sick at the sight of blood or injuries?

Have you ever been in a live fire?

Have you ever been called by a telemarketer? How do you respond to them? Rudely? Sarcastically? Something else?

Do you think that emotions are something that people should embrace and follow, or something to restrain?

[Lisky]

Dear invisible friend,

would you rather be a hero, anti-hero, or villain?
why?

do you like to write?
how about draw?
do you like to take pictures perhaps?

how do you feel about the current economic 'crisis'? do you think it was poor banking decisions, Bush administration policies, or something else that caused it?

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend,

Do you hope that Boxy will land a good job soon?
Okay, what continent do you think you're on?
Do you like chicken?
What webcomics do you read?
Who's your favorite moderator?
Did it snow where you are in the last week or so?
What is your name?

[VSMIT]

Dear Invisible Friend,
Are you going to answer my previous list of questions?

[Jer-oh-me]

Hmm, is it just me, or is this round floundering?

[Gabi]

I think llearch may be too busy to post.

[Jer-oh-me]

I think llearch may be too busy to post.

That's entirely possible, his irc server is down for some maintenance or some such.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Indeed. I have 6 answers standing by. Please feel free to keep asking questions, though. I'll be back soon. Real soon.

Apologies, Real Life leaped up and bit me. Right in the unpleasant spaces... :-/

[Gabi]

Aw, poor llearch. *Hugs.*

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Thanks, Gabi.

Now, where was I? Oh, yes.

Dear Invisible Friend,
- Has it been a long, cold, lonely Winter?
- Has it been years since it's been here?
- Are the smiles returning to peoples' faces?
- Is the ice slowly melting?

- um... if that is meant to be a single question, then no, it hasn't been a long, cold and lonely winter...
Long Winter: yes, too long
Cold Winter: no question about it
Lonely Winter: not at all
- I'll get back to you on that once i figure that one out for my self, for now i'll leave you with a tentative no
- Smiles returning?? I never noticed them leaving. where did the smiles go?! and why were they gone?
- The ice is melting, now that you mention it

Ooooh! Image!

Dear IF, is anything on your mind these days?

I'm very far away from Azlan, but I have played a forum D&D 3.5 RPG with him as the DM. He was downright evil.

How do you handle self-criticism? I often have trouble with that.

Dear Gabi,

Not really.  Unless you count my cranium, skin and hair.

Sounds like fun.  I'll have to give that a try sometime.

When I see that I did something wrong, I will usually either re-do it or remember what it was that I did wrong, so I don't do it wrong anymore.

I agree, any work is good work, IMO.

I beg to differ on that last point. Yes, it's better than no work, but working 20 hours on the trot is likely to kill you, if you keep it up. Most importantly, it removes any time you have to look for better paying work elsewhere...

Dear Invisible Friend,

PIZZA? If you didn't know by now, you should be aware that I work in a pizza shop part time while I attend university. We have, I believe, the best pizza in town, and also we have, according to a math teacher who's a town native, the least expensive pizza in town. I actually have to try the really weird kinds of pizza we have, because I get tired of my favorite.

Anyhow, what do you like on it? Please be more specific than my previous invisible friend who only answered 'meat'.

Did you live in a rough area as a child?

And why don't you listen to music anymore?

If it were possible to make it, I personally would like Hammock Water Bunk-beds. Though probably no one would like the idea of sleeping below a big sack of water outside. Do you have a preference for bed size then?

I'm drinking a glass of milk as I type this post, do you drink milk at all? Did you when you were a kid?

I meant music CDs by the way, but do you play a lot of computer games then?

That's great, because I think I could actually use a good pizza, now if only I could actually get anywhere in this world...
Oh, and I simply prefer mine plain.

No kiddin.

I don't really have a taste for it. Maybe if I got struck by lightning I would pick up a musical taste, but for now, I don't really have a strong like for music.

I'm not sure how a hammock-water bed would be possible. Hammocks are suspended in the air, and water is quite heavy. Bunk beds do tend to have strong supports, but hammocks are much more limited in that regard. I simply don't see how one would be feasible to make, much less profitable or practical.
As for size, as long as I don't fall off the edge in my sleep, I really don't care.

I have a taste for chocolate milk, but generally I only have milk when with my cereal in the morning, That didn't change when I got older either.

I do, though in part, that depends on how busy I am.

Dear Visible Friend,

Expensive for me, at least; it's more then 3500.
I don't need a reason to be happy, as long as I have no reason to be sad.
Should I?
I'm not sure there is any one who hasn't been.
I've avoided having a phone, so no one calls me.
These are all different aspects of the same thing, you know.

Dear invisible friend,

would you rather be a hero, anti-hero, or villain?
why?

do you like to write?
how about draw?
do you like to take pictures perhaps?

how do you feel about the current economic 'crisis'? do you think it was poor banking decisions, Bush administration policies, or something else that caused it?

Hero, but I'd probably end up an anti-hero.
Well, I'm too smart to play the villain, and I haven't got the stomach for it. But if I had the power to do so, I'd be the hero. Or at least the one doing what has to happen to beat the villain. Something like that.
Yes.
Also yes.
It's been a long time since I even had a working camera.
I feel that there are too many factors at work to pin the blame on one person. Moreover, that's irresponsible: people should take responsibility for their actions and clean up the mess rather than just blame people and hope that the mess cleans itself up. And yes, I know I'm being a bloody hypocrite here.

Dear Invisible Friend,

Do you hope that Boxy will land a good job soon?
Okay, what continent do you think you're on?
Do you like chicken?
What webcomics do you read?
Who's your favorite moderator?
Did it snow where you are in the last week or so?
What is your name?

Of course. He deserves it.
I think I'm on the same continent as you are.
I like chickens.
Too many to list them here. Besides, the list varies with time.
Is that question safe to answer?
For a broad enough definition of "where I am", it snows every day.
It's the word people use to refer to me and identify me.

I've decided to try a different form of art this time.


Here's a larger version:

... And of course it's safe to answer. ;-]

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend,

Awww, it's a cute little mouse! I'll have to punish you somehow for that pun one day, but onto questions!

Did it snow in the last two weeks in the town you live in?
So, you live in North America? North, South, East, West, or any combination thereof?
I meant, do you like to eat chicken?
Time for random questions: what kind of pets do you have?
Do you have a fursona, and if so what is it?
What level of school are you in, or when was the last time you went to school?
Am I just stalling because I didn't come up with new questions while I was waiting for a post?
Attention duelists! Do you watch Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, or indeed any other Abridged Series?
Do you like giant robots?
When does this round end again?

[e_voyager]

dear invisible friend

it seems that our question have been answered and two pictures are in.

will you be sending you picture soon?
do you remember the time  Dan meet Lorenda?
do you think this relationship will end well?
do you ever worry about overbearing parents either your own of others?
my i have some more gum?
do you like tea?
15 men of the whole ships list?

[Gabi]

What's safe to answer?

Dear Invisible Friend, is the frozen December finally withdrawing?
Is April, crowned with flowers, admired by everyone?
Bah, nevermind, you're not going to get the reference anyway. The original song is in Catalan.

What do you think about sarcasm?
What would you say is the main difference between the two reptiles playing this game?
Would your IF say this door is the right one?
Do I get a cookie?

[Noone]

Dear invisible friend:

What do you think about Uncyclopedia?

Do you believe that mercy should triumph over vengeance?

Do you believe ignorance is bliss?

Do you have a 'zombie plan'? Aka, a plan of survival in case of a zombie based apocalypse. If so, what is it?

Are you into online gaming?

Do you play chess? How about any other board games?

Do you like reading poetry? How about writing poetry?

Do you involve yourself in charity often?

Have you ever had delusions of grandeur?

Do wide gaps in distributions of wealth upset or anger you? Why or why not?

[Jer-oh-me]

Dear Invisible Friend,

Okay, gonna try and get myself back in the swing here...

Arg... Drawing a blank!

What is your name?

What is your quest?

What is your favorite colour?

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen European swallow?

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen African swallow?

How do you know he's a king?

Punish me? What for? *Looks innocent.*

- What makes you think I live in a town?
- OK, yes, I do.
- No, I don't.
- The friendly kind. Except for the one that hates being touched by humans, that one's just a freeloader.
- Do I? Do I not? It's not such an easy question to answer. I do roleplay sometimes, but outside the games and areas where that is expected, I act like myself.
- Monday. Or possibly Thursday, depending on when llearch posts this.
- If you are, you're doing a great job at pretending otherwise.
- No, I don't.
- I like some of them.
- That's a question you should be asking the box.

.. I think you missed an answer, there.

http://llearch.net/misc/if/39/blank.jpg

- Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh?
- I'm afraid I'm not allowed to give you my name, sorry.
- I vant to CONQUER ZE VORLD!
- Didn't you ask me that already?
- It's around 11 m/s
- It's around 48 mph
- The crown, purple robe, and gaudy scepter are a pretty straightforward giveaway.

[Gabi]

No answers for me?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Sorry, Gabi. No answers for you, yet.

[Lisky]

Dear invisible friend

how have things been going for you the last few days?

have you been causing problems for the local authorities?

do you want to play a game?

if i were tell you that you had exactly 27 days left to live, what would you do?

what would you do if it suddenly started raining gumdrops?

do you bleed sunshine and rainbows?

[Jer-oh-me]

Dear invisible friend,

Heh.

How are you feeling when you read this?

Do you like apples?

I got her number, how do you like them apples?

Do you like movies?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Gabi,

Okay, now I have answers for you. Yay! ;-]

Would your IF say this door is the right one?
Do I get a cookie?

Dear Gabi,

Yes.
Maybe not everyone, but a lot of people, sure.
Oh, ok then.

It's sooooo great...
One's not a reptile...
That's a good question.  I'd ask myself, if I knew it wouldn't tell you who I was.
Yes, but...

Dear Visible Friend,

That it should remain unannounced.
What is mercy?
The less I hear, the less you say, but you'll find that out, anyway.
Yes. Set the world on fire to watch it burn. If that fails, fly a rocket into the sun.
I'm playing this game, aren't I?
Yes.
I do both.
Depends of what is meant by charity.
The difference between delusions of grandeur, and the real thing, is all in the impact left behind in the wake of the truth revealed.
Whoever said that life would be fair?

Dear invisible friend,

Heh.

The game is due to end in less than 24 hours, and according to my logs, I still don't have two images. e_voyager's Invisible Friend, and VSMIT's Invisible Friend, this is your boarding call...

[VSMIT]

Dear Invisible Friend,
Have you ever picked up the rice in a church where a wedding had been?
Do you wait at a window, wearing a face that you keep in a jar by the door?
Do you write the words to a sermon/speech that no one will hear?
Have you ever wiped dirt from your hands as you walked from a grave?

Have you figured out the connection between all of my questions this round?

[Jairus]

Dear Invisible Friend,

Where did the round go? It went by so fast!
Are you male or female?
Do you like dragons?
Do you like dogs?
Have people ever compared you to me or tried to connect us?

[Noone]

Dear invisible friend:

Have you ever met the sandvich?

Do you like writing essays? Are you good at writing essays?

Have you ever participated in a forum flame war?

Do you get jumpy if you see someone nearby who has a lethal weapon?

If you could have chosen your VF, who would you have picked, and why?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Mmm.

[Lisky]

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

have you seen jack sparrow running around here? he was holding a box of lucky charms

[Jer-oh-me]

I shall suggest that my invisible friend is The1Kobra in the hospital room with the flower arrangement.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

You probably want to wait until the match is finished, Jer, before you start answering. ;-]

Dear Friend That I Spy With My Little Eye,

- Eh, pretty good.
- Nope. Why do you ask?
- I sense this is a reference to something. What is it?
- Get a second opinion.
- Wonder what someone slipped into my Diet Coke.
- No, I bleed blood.

Dear Visible Friend,

Can't say that i have
No, I have not
Never have really tried, it's not my thing
Not yet, and i hope I won't have to

I'd guess song lyrics, but I'm really not sure

Dear Visible Friend,

- No. Yes.
- I'm not popular enough to do such a thing.
- A set of finger nails can be deadly if used right, or dipped in poison. Do they scare you?
- Probably Gabi. She's nice to talk with, and draw for.

Hear ye! Hear ye! The game is now closed! All outstanding answers will be put to one side and mocked!

Please post your guesses as to who your Invisible Friend is. Once we have all of those on hand, results will be announced, and mockery will commence!

Hear ye!
