Guess the DL member.
« on: December 01, 2008, 02:10:25 PM »
So, as I recall sometime in the past (a year or so ago?  Memory's fuzzy.) Taishyr (I think it was Tai) did a little game called "Guess the DL member."  In this, people PMed him with a random factoid about themselves, then after he got enough he posted a list and then people guessed Simpsons Quiz style. 

Well, I'm bored and putting off essaying, so I'm starting a new one, and fuck you copywrite law.  If you want your name on the list PM me with the factoid.  If I get two facts that are too similar to eachother I'll PM both people who sent it in for a new one.  I'll post the list whenever I get enough people signed up.

Heh. I was considering restarting this, but didn't bother. Thanks for doing my work for me! (insert cheesy emoticon here)

PM to be sent soon, once I've decided on something to use as my factoid.

Um ok so yeah.  I thought this would be obvious since the aim of the game will be to guess DL members, but don't mention other names in your fact because then it ends up narrowing it down more than it should.

This has potential to be both very humourous and resoundingly self-humiliating.

Excuse to humiliate myself in the most proper way possible, I suppose.

Will throw a PM at you when I've decided on an appropriate factoid to use.

EDIT: Factoid sent, short, but whatever.

Try to be sure your factoids are things that we'd know from the board (Assuming you're not in chat. If you're not, join! Everyone is welcome.). The last one kind of had that problem, most everyone picked obscure facts.

Yeah.  Over half the ones I have in are obscure ones; this is fine since it's only a handful (out of 15 entries, 5 strike me as a tad unreasonable, and since I'm waiting until I have a good number of people [ideally, 30], this won't be a problem) and a couple might not be obscure simply because I've been detached from chat for a few months and might seem more obvious, but the point remains to try and make your factoid something we might be able to guess. 

Also, I'm toying around with including a list of people who submitted (along with listing some people who did not submit) to make the guessing a little less bastardy.  Keep that in mind I guess.

A list would be nice. It was tough enough last time even with a list.

Yeah, include the list.

I'm pretty sure mine can be guessed, but.

See, that was my problem. I can't use chat here at the university (UNB blocks IRC) and I don't have many facts here on the board. I picked out outta hopes you won't think it was anyone else XP

That is exceptionally lame. Can't use Chatzilla to get around it?

I think I tried that last year before I disappeared all summer from the forums. I don't think it worked :(

I'll give it another go though, probably later tonight.

Bumping this.  Have 15 entries still, ideally want 15 more.  If you haven't, submit.  SUBMIT!

Regardless, I'll be starting up... next saturdayish?  Once I get home.

Sounds about right.

So...this is probably starting on the 20th?

I sent in a fact. Its probably too easy, but I tried not to make it obscure because if I made it obscure no one would guess mine!

List goes up tonight after I've settled in and feel like putting it together.  Any stragglers get to it, or not.  Y'know whatever.

OK, so it didn't go up last night.  Sleep is more awesome than that.  Whatever, shut up and do it.  DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON'T GIVE HIM THE STICK.


THE FACTS! 

1.  In one of the first places I ever visited online, I was known for dropping pizza trucks on people.
2.  I used to have a toy poodle named 'Rocky'.
3.  I am a world class salsa dancer!
4.  I graduated with a class of 15.
5.  I didn't learn how to speak until I was five or six years old.
6.  Genetically speaking, I should be the finest musician in the DL.
7.  As a young kid, I was put into a Sailor Moon costume and paraded around at school. For over half a day.
8.  Attempted to go skydiving at the age of fourteen, only to have a seizure on board the plane.
9.  Due to a traumatic childhood accident, bamboo is my hated foe! You could still see the scar pretty well if not for my perpetual stubble.
10.  I am a very friendly and open person to pretty much everyone but if you didn't know me you might just think I was just a major flirt.
11.  Recently, I was almost thrown into the drunk tank at the local police station, if it wasn't for a random friend who showed up at the last second and volunteered to take me home instead.
12. On my first day at my first job, I had to clean a pile of overflowing used tampons from the bathroom floor.  I also managed to cut myself on a pickle jar and ended up needing stitches on my hand by the third day on the job.
13.  I named my first computer, "Sherm D. Computer".
14.  I once beat Ogre Battle in one sitting.
15.  My psychologist keeps calling me a lesbian.
16.  In these recent times, as it turns out, I find myself writing in English; there is a problem, and that problem is a most dire one indeed.  Whatever I write, whatever flows from my hands, be it formal, informal, fiction, non-fiction, or anything else, is written in the most peculiar Victorian style.
17.  Because of my intense hatred for certain persons, I hugged another man I hate and have lived to regret it.
18.  I wanted to be all of these professions at some point during my younger years; archaeologist, astronaut, President, physicist, professional soccer player, economist, professional jewel thief and architect.
19.  I have actually played The Longest Journey, but I don't want people to know that my machine can run PC games, or they might force me to play too many Good Games and I'm worried I'll never be able to enjoy JRPGs again.
20.  I am descended from the Salem witches.  Incidentally, I'm from the state they came from as well.
21. Every major injury I've ever had was a result of a bike accident.
22. I'm one of the few people in the group who like Phantasy Star 3.
