I wasn't going to do one of these, but I've been hassled about it enough that I might as well get it over with. You may thank Jassik for being the straw that broke the camel's back.

No specific rules; we're all adults here, and I expect you to act like it.

With luck there will be one post and then this thread can die

Is Jassik going to be held responsible for what happened to that poor camel?

Also is it dead or can we still save it?

Would you rather fight 10 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?

Well, he's never going to play the piano again, I'll say that much.

Duck sized horses. Those can be punted if need be.

I told him if he didn't, I'd post if for him and answer all the questions myself!

Avatar is Georg Prime from Suikoden II (and V, but this version is from II).

Name is originally from Arcana, a SNES game that high school me could not stop playing.

Behold, the only time you will see "XBox" and "real man" in the same sentence.

I didn't create organizer; Byrth did. I just maintain it, and renaming things is annoying. You lose all the brand recognition.

Lazy bum, I will admit to.

Ah, finally!

Do you/have you ever played D&D? If so, what is your favorite class?

If you were able to kill either Nickleback or Justin Bieber, but not both, who would you choose?

Pro-choice or pro-life?

What is your stance on United States and minimum wage?

What's your favorite animal?

If a black coat is hanging from a tree, and brown shoes are hanging from a telephone wire, meanwhile a mocking bird sings a song and the paper boy delivers tomorrow's paper at noon today, does Batman defeat the Joker? Please show your work.

Not in years. I usually made sure I was the last character rolled so I could fill in whatever gap was left (which meant I played a lot of healers).

Quote:

Nickelback, because The Bieb's 15 minutes are over and he's got an overdose coming his way soon enough.

Quote:
Pro-choice or pro-life?

Pro-choice, though I would never do it myself. It was actually a real discussion the wife and I had when we were getting ready to have a kid, since we were on the older side for that and there's a lot that can go wrong at that age, genetically.

But yeah, I prefer as little government involvement as possible in my life, which means I can't very well advocate it getting involved in other people's.

Quote:
What is your stance on United States and minimum wage?

I think it should have one.

Minimum wage is tricky because it ripples into so many other things; raising it pretty much always spurs inflation, which hurts the people you're trying to help. At the same time, people need a livable wage... really, it's a question beyond my knowledge to give a proper answer to.

Quote:

The one I'm currently petting. In a vacuum, probably a raccoon, because they're so clever.

Yes, because Batman always defeats the Joker. There isn't any work to show beyond "read a couple issues ahead and everything works out fine".

Do you have a favorite event in vanadiel?

Have you ever heard about a video game called dark souls?

I always thought Meeble Burrows had so much potential, but they wasted it by making so many of the drops useless. Quick, easy, objectives varied, and the ability to build up grimoires gave lesser groups a way to overpower for it.

As far as relevant events, I think I lean towards Delve I because it was the last "big" event I did with TToF before my son was born and I stopped any real endgame at all.

I own and have beaten all three Souls games. Haven't played Bloodborne yet because I realized I don't have the time to properly enjoy it atm and so I figure I'll pick it up later when I do.

We don't have information on how this state occurred. It's entirely possible Jeffrey is giving her his extra apples because he wants to get with her.

Why is Jeffrey bowing to radical feminism?

I don't think "maybe if I give this girl some apples, she'll let me jump her bones" is exactly bowing to radical feminism, but it's been a very long time since I was in college, so maybe I'm just out of the loop.

I like to give credit where it's due; Organizer is a handy tool, and B deserves the praise for it.

I'd argue that it's not even from that game, but you can't move diagonally in Arcana either.

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.

What do you do? (10 brownie points if you get the reference)

If memory serves, the thread was locked before Rooks was promoted so he may not know, mods do not have a log of who locked a given thread.

I honestly don't know the answer. Again, why does it matter? If you have a question for her, just PM her.
