Guess That Forum Member! Wooooo!

[Taishyr]

Okay, this is simple. Send in guesses of whose names match up to who! PM, please, by board is preferred. You have until I get unlazy and count up guesses to send in your results. Fuzzy Pickles and shit. If you're not on here, well, uh... next time maybe? Sorry, I think I got everyone though!



1) When I was young, I wanted to be a cartographer.
2) My middle name is a single letter.
3) My favorite imported goods come from Germany and Puerto Rico.
4) I've recently had problems with my basement flooding.
5) I was in archery competitions, doing well enough to get to regionals.
6) I've done volunteer work on multiple occasions.
7) I am descended from the Salem Witches.
8) I ran into a saw in grade school, neck first of course.  I missed death by under an inch.
9) I was a boy scout from 1st grade to 6th grade.
10) When I was six, I wanted to be a pizza maker when I grew up.
11) I used to be a mod at a Dragon Ball Z MUD. They never once made the "Over 9000" joke.
12) A previous injury has made me acutely paranoid about ankle injuries.
13) In my first year of driving, I got enough tickets to have my license suspended. As near as I can tell, the only reason it wasn't is because the government never actually noticed.
14) I live in Kentucky. Grass is blue here. Somewhat.
15) I once had a fake boob sitting on my desk at work.
16) During high school, I listened to KMFDM, Rammstein and Kraftwerk a bit, which led me to taking up German.
17) Dancers are one of my favorite character types.
18) I am a descendant of Aaron Burr.
19) I once fell through the ceiling of a friend's garage.
20) I can trace my ancestry back to the Wallace clan, of Braveheart fame/infamy, closely enough to be legally/traditionally allowed to wear the Wallace plaid should I ever go to Scotland.
21) I've twice successfully set fire to boiling water.
22) Supposedly I am named after the last Czar of Russia. I've gotta say, my parents could not have picked a less inspiring monarch if they'd tried.

12) A previous injury has made me acutely paranoid about ankle injuries.- That is so not me, by the way.

[Sierra]

Bump, because Tai's bastard people and never gave us answers.

[Taishyr]

36 hours and then I'll post them.

[Meeplelard]

*considers date Tai last posted*
*considers what date is right now*

unless time zones really screw with things more than I ever expected, 36 hours is long past...

[BaconForTheSoul]

Taish obviously went suicide mode after seeing me go 1/22.

[Taishyr]

More like "I wanted one more response."

I got 3!

So, posting!

Gate: 4/22 (Gate, OK, Clear Tranquil, QR)
Xeroma: 0.001 points for effort.
Lance: 2/22 (Lance, QR)
Alex: 3/22 (Zenthor, Sopko, Alex)
Nitori: 2/22 (NEB, Alex)
El Cid 2/22 (Tai, El Cid)
Tonfa: 2/22 (NEB, Clear Tranquil)
Super: 4/22 (super, Ciato, Clear Tranquil, El Cid)
Ciato: 4/22 (Rob, super, Ciato, Smashy)
Chapin: 1/22 (Chapin)
Shale: 5/22 (Zenthor, Ciato, Tai, Shale, Clear Tranquil)
TranceHime: 2/22 (NotMiki, Chapin)
Hunter Sopko: 1/22 (Sopko)
Magic Fanatic: 2/22 (Chapin, Magic Fanatic)

Shale is the winner!

(Yes, really. Think about when I arrived - you guys probably don't even remember me introducing myself before you learned I'd edit here, do you? All I did there (well, all I was supposed to do. Let's not make the Tai have nightmares again) was edit all the shitty room descriptions so they made logical sense (ohgod that was hell), which is what my friend wanted me to do since he knew I was looking for ways to practice editing. Still, a choice I'd never have made in retrospect. And you all wonder why pop culture and shit scares me. Sheesh, that job was a triple nightmare.)

Comment away! I want to see reactions to mine. <_<

[Captain K.]

Court-mandated community service does not count as volunteer work, Zenny.

I actually guessed Rob correctly.

[superaielman]

Goddamnit I was hoping the fake boob was Rob. That so fits him.

[Hunter Sopko]

... I don't even want to know.

Surprised more people than Alex didn't get mine. I was afraid it'd be too obvious.

[Cotigo]

I didn't submit because I predicted the outcome: 1/22.  Damn it, could have sworn Ciato would have been the poor driver.

Also, I should have guessed Mep would have run into a saw...

Re: Captain K:  I had forgotten about that, actually.  I wouldn't call that volunteer work, though.  It was more pure awesome.  Getting to sit on a jury for minor traffic violations and push for the maximum penalty every time was awesome.

[VySaika]

Fake Boob at work=Sopko is obvious? I'm not sure I follow that connection, though that's likely because I don't know what you do for a living.

[Hunter Sopko]

I used to work for Central Park Media, which owns Anime 18, a hentai distributor. My coworkers brought back a fake boob made of the stuff they make RealDolls out of from the Adult Expo in Vegas. It sat on my desk for months, until we all got let go, actually. I either left it there or gave it away. Can't remember. I say obvious because people knew I worked for a company that sold porn, and I distinctly remember telling people about the boob.

[BaconForTheSoul]

Almost guessed Zenny right for irony purposes, but the fake boob seemed like something he would actually do.

As for the saw, it was hanging out the back of a janitors truck.  My friend and I were racing so turned right at the corner of the truck.  Didn't see the saw before or after it cut me across the chin/neck.  In fact, I kept running until I heard other people scream.  Oddly enough I worked with that janitors wife at my first job, but didn't know it until after I had quit... lucky for her!

And yeah not getting anyone else right makes sense, since they were all basically guesses.

[Fudozukushi]

I think my basement's flooded right now actually...

[Luther Lansfeld]

I have never got a ticket, thank you very much! I am directionally challenged, but a daredevil I'm not.

[Lance]

That's right, bitches: my ancestor killed Alexander Hamilton.  Fershizzle.

[Hunter Sopko]

I remembered someone was related to Aaron Burr, but I always thought it was Strago for some reason.

[Sierra]

So, I totally fail at knowing you guys despite being here for like five years now. Go me.

[Cmdr_King]

Eh, I have an obscenely good memory for non-name related trivial facts, and didn't bother to submit a list because I knew I wouldn't get enough to be worth my time.
Everyone just went far out of their way to pick stuff that they'd NEVER talk about.

Edit: glancing over it now, I probably only would have guessed Soppy, CT and maaaaaybe Rob, though a few others (Shale) make sense having seen the answers.

[BaconForTheSoul]

So, I totally fail at knowing you guys despite being here for like five years now. Go me.

This isn't exactly every day knowledge of people though, unless you happened to talk to Soppy the day after the boobondesk incident or something like that.

[VySaika]

Everyone just went far out of their way to pick stuff that they'd NEVER talk about.

Wasn't that half the point and fun of this, though? Seeing what kind of weirdness and oddities we all had that have just never come up, or even came up only once or twice?

[Cmdr_King]

Didn't say that was a bad thing.

[Hunter Sopko]

Wha?

[BaconForTheSoul]

Fixed!
