Is it strange watching movies where Christmas is portrayed as snowy, given that Christmas happens during Australian summer?
Not remotely. Even though I've lived here all my life, I still associate Christmas with snow and the cold and all those northern hemisphere stereotypes. Besides, Christmas in Australia is sheer hell, climate-wise. I love the cold and long to one day, experience a Christmas in a place like London

You're a big Tolkien fan; what do you think of C.S. Lewis' work?
This is a tricky question. I struggle to compare the two. If you look at Lewis' work (e.g. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) you get a bunch of talking animals and Santa Claus. I appreciate the religious undertones and themes in his works and that's all good. Comparing that to Lord of the Rings however is an entirely different thing. It seems to me that there is such eloquence and wisdom in LOTR - particularly as it pertains to the nature of good and evil - it's extraordinary. The breadth of imagination Tolkein used, the fact that he ignored accepted wisdom in how he structured the story - I think these are all factors that contribute to it being one of those rare books that when you pick it up, you get swept up in it. I hope that answers your question...

C.S. Lewis was a far better nonfiction author, in my opinion. The Screwtape Letters can be fun though.

I can't say that I've ever heard that opinion expressed before Epi (but that may simply have to do with the circles in which I move). I appreciate your response though. I'm happy to consider any recommendations from you or anyone else for further reading

Least favorite tabletop game(s)?
Don't really have a least favorite.
Favorite sport(s), if any?
I find soccer the least boring.

Favorite ELO album?

juliets wrote:Hi DF

What kind of performing artist are you (maybe answered by Scotty's questions)?
I'd like to write for the performing arts (TV, stage), but that's all.
Why do you find it easier on you to be a civ?
Because I don't have to make up opinions (although sometimes I still do).
Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?
I actually have little interest in sexuality and/or romance, so no.
Tell us a little about her/him.
See above.
If not, what kind of person appeals to you?
She'd have to be intelligent, humble, and share my faith.
Are you a book person? If so favorite book and why?
I love reading! My favorite of all time is the Hobbit (appropriate that this is your question then ).
Are you playing Pokemon Go?
No, I'm not into fads. I am rewatching the show on Netflix though.
Do you play any video games?
Yes, but they're mostly very old ones. My favorite might be Star Wars: Episode I: Racer for N64.
Favorite TV show that is not Lost?
That's a tough one. I'm going to say Buffy.
Ok, thats it for now -

DF!

Who is your favorite character on lost? and why is is Vincent?
Favorite is actually Faraday, shockingly enough. Runnersup include Hurley, Claire, and Radzinsky.
How did you get involved in the arts? Background, etc;
I'm not? I watched musicals from a young age and came to love them, but I would never want to perform in front of people. I do have plans to write musicals someday though. And write lots of things in general.
What's your favorite musical- do you still perform?
That's a hard one. It's a toss up between Fiddler on the Roof, Carousel, and Beauty and the Beast.
Where would you like to retire if you could retire now?
Here, because everyone I know is here. But I would like to visit London, Tokyo, New Zealand, and Canada.
Where would you like to retire if you retired towards your later years?
Here, because I'll be old and need the heat. Here is San Antonio, btw.
Do you speak any other languages?
Some Spanish, but not as well as I should. My dad is fluent, but I didn't pick up enough of it.
Dude, where's my car?
Not in New York, right?
Cats or dogs?
Cats. I have two.
Would you rather be able to fly at a slow, walking pace or run at 35 mph but tiring as much as if you were walking.
Run, because it would be more useful and would attract less attention.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Holy shit man, get DFaraday some questions... stat!

- Favorite music? (this can be bands/genres/albums/whatever)
Musical soundtracks, classical, and classic rock (in particular the Beatles, Queen, ELO, and CCR)
- Favorite WWE wrestler?
Currently, Luke Harper. Of all time, Eddie Guerrero.
- Do you prefer being civilian or mafia?
Civvie, it's much easier for me.
- What is your most treasured moment as civilian?
Some game back way back on RM, where I was the last confirmed civvie, and the game hinged on whether I would trust Bea in the last lynch. I did, and we won.
- What is your most treasured moment as mafia?
Killing Batman in Arkham Mafia.

I'll think of more! I'm not good at this though. Come on folks, ask DF some stuff!

Dom is free to answer the questions that were asked of him during his week in the room. Right now though, it's time to let him out and strap in a new participant.

Ladies and gentlemen, this week in the Interrogation Room, please direct your questions to the one and only...

DFARADAY

We'll start off with a few easy questions:

1) How did you discover the game of mafia?

I used to be on the Lostpedia forums, and signed up for Heroes Mafia there.

2) What led you to The Syndicate?

A bunch of people I knew from that site moved here.

3) What is the favorite role you ever had (good or bad)?
The Nesting Doll in Recruitment Mafia III. LC (who was hosting) said I was playing the best civvie game he had ever seen.
