Human sized marmot. I would feel less guilty about breaking a marmot.
@Marmot

Will mom punish you severely?

A marmot is the cutest furriest little critter you'll find in the mountains. See my profile picture for the Vancouver Island Marmot.

FAKE every time.

i bought into the real tree hype before and it all it brought me was PAIN after a couple of days.

Would you eat Syn's pickle?

like is it just joke-y questions or hard-hitting AMA stuff

I think it's whatever the interrogators want to ask, but obviously the interviewee must answer every question at risk of being banned doesn't have to answer if they feel uncomfortable with it.

What is your favorite Radiohead album?
Do you like surfing?
What is your beverage of choice?
When was the last time you left the country you live in?
Do you think [mention]lapluie[/mention] should be interrogated next?

Lol, dunya called you sweetest and I read that as Swedish.

And probably confused it with all the other Scandinavian countries mentioned here.

Is a pint of beer really 15 US dollars in Sweden?

I learned at trivia last night that Sweden is 3rd overall in medals received at the summer olympics in diving since 1904 (behind US and China). Is that a highly prized sport in Sweden, or are there other more popular sports?

Also, I'm an RYMer too right?

rdw, who was your favorite gazelle from a game of mafia?

What's your favorite city in Oregon?

On the one hand, I really want to play that. On the other hand, keeping up with 33 of you guys...
Not all of us are JJJ, Golden,MP or Sloonei. With that said, if you see all four of them in a game, watch out cause you're gonna want cliff notes.

Thankfully, MP will be hosting that one with me. Cuts out some of the wall-posting.

speedchuck wrote:Sakamoto is from Nichijou, yes. Unfortunately, I am not a professor, and my cat cannot talk.

My top ten animes, in a loose order, would be:
Steins;Gate
Mob Psycho 100
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Durarara!!
Nichijou
One Punch Man
Baccano!
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
And maybe Katanagatari and Death Note

I have a lot of trouble picking a top ten. These are the ones that had the most impact on me, I think.

Sloonei, I recommend all of these, if you like the genre that they sit in. Nichijou is a bizarre comedy, One Punch Man is a parody, Haruhi is a slice of life, Durarara!! is a character-driven mishmash of gangs set in a strange city... Lots of variety there. I'd only recommend the English versions of Baccano!, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and maaaaaybe Durarara!! or Haruhi. The original Japanese is still better, and that's coming from someone who has seen both.
Don't watch the English Steins;Gate. It's missing a lot of the charm of the original, in my opinion.

I write fantasy novels, generally. Any idea that strikes my fancy. Right now it's a story about a principled teenage girl who also happens to be a necromancer. I'm having a lot of fun with that concept.
This is a really good list!! I've seen almost all of them I think I've seen a few episodes of Haruhi, and I still haven't watched Baccano but it's definitely on my list. Never seen Death Note either and have never heard of Mob Psycho 100, but have seen all of the rest of them. Durarara, Steins;Gate, Nichijou, FMA:B and OPM are all probably in my top 10 too. My number one favorite though is probably Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Sacred Spirit), if you haven't seen it I strongly recommend it. It's gorgeous.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Mob Psycho 100 is by the guy who did One Punch Man. I consider it to be a better anime, though not as funny.
Baccano! is an experience.

Hopefully you'll be around when I actually have time (and the player interest) to host this game.

Have you attended a musical performance/concert? If so, what are your favorite concert(s) you have ever attended?
I was a drummer in a garage band for a couple of my teen years. I still play occasionally, and hopefully will find another local band at some point in the future. I miss the noise.

I've attended four concerts, five if you include a Christmas music celebration, and probably twenty-five if I include shows that I played in myself. I enjoyed watching Kansas play with a college symphony orchestra, and recently I had the opportunity to see Weird Al live. The other two concerts were Rush concerts.

Ah, hard to say what my favorite was, but I'd put Kansas up there. That was a beautiful concert, and most importantly, I had really good seats.

Welcome to the Syndicate, also known as the Rush Fan Club.

I do not like The Maths, I do not DO The Maths. I do, however, INTERPRET The Maths quite well because it is not my responsibility to understand what is being said in that context. It is the student's responsibility.

Wait what?

Could you explain this in more detail? Now I'm curious to what you do.

Do you prefer llamas, mongooses, or marmots?

MovingPictures07 wrote:Nice! We're on a similar track then. I saw earlier you said you might have to discontinue due to finding? Hopefully not, that'd be a shame. Good luck with it!

Wow, Tool 11 times. Cool beans. I would have liked to have seen them for sure, never have.

This! Wow that's amazing. I would be happy to just see Tool once (in their prime anyway).

I understand. I can't be everyone's first.

ika, which do you prefer? Metalmarsh89 or Silverwolf?

I also like the Grateful Dead from time-to-time. I don't know if I could pick a favorite album, but Terrapin Station is my favorite song of theirs.

Ok so when metal goes missing the next week or so..... you know who to blame

I'll be out of town for Spring Break then. Fortunately for me, none of y'all will know where I'll be. :P

DDL.

Is your Chinese sign a Dragon?

This thread could certainly use a revival.

Is it kind of pricey living in a motel room?

HamburgerBoy wrote:Mac's choose-your-own-role game was total silly madness but I loved it, even though I was the only player with a negative-utility role.

I ran a choose-your-own-role game long ago on a different forum once. Players did not know they all could choose their own roles because I left it as a closed setup. Unfortunately, there was one fellow who couldn't stand this other fellow, and I put them on the mafia team together (based on their role choices). So the first fellow outed his entire mafia team before quitting. I had to shut the game down.

Worst hosting experience ever.

Don't play a musical instrument. I bought a MIDI keyboard recently just to try and develop an ear for scales and chords and to jot down the occasional stray melody, but with school and multiple hard drive reformats (getting a DAW set up is kind of a pain in the ass) I've been procrastinating a lot.
Maybe Exodus with Paul Baloff (died in 2002), but I've seen them live without him. Actually, probably Watchtower, although they reunite every once in a while for a few shows.

You and I will get along. Dream Theater and Iron Maiden are two of my top 3 bands (Rush being the third).

Ok, name your top 10 Iron Maiden albums.

To be honest, I've never really looked into Fates Warning (kind of shocking to me). What album(s) would you recommend I check out first?

Teehee.

Where and when did you play your first mafia game?
What mafia game has been your favorite mafia game?
Have you hosted any mafia games?
Do you prefer playing as Civilian, Mafia, or Indy/Rogue?

And some music related questions since you come from RYM.

Who are your top 5 favorites artists?
What are your top 5 albums of all time?
Who is your favorite drummer? Favorite guitarist? Favorite pianist? Favorite lyricist?
Do you play a musical instrument? If so, have you written or released any music?
If there was an artist you could see live who is no longer able to perform live (because of death or retirement or something), who would it be?

Are you an adolescent?

Where are you going?

Where has Dana gone to these days?

How about Made?

Will there be a Last Man Standing IV?

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Matt, what is your least favorite thing about Bernie Sanders as a presidential candidate?
That's a really great question. If we're talking his stance on the issues, then I'm not even sure I have a least favorite. Everything he says is gold, IMO. Raise the minimum wage above the starvation wage it is now. Tax wall street to send kids all around America to college for free. End Citizens United, getting big money out of politics, why should they be able to buy the politician of their choice? Yes, end the federal prohibition of marijuana once and for all. Gay folks should indeed have the same rights as any straight couple, and on and on and on. Everything he says excites me to be honest, you can tell this dude cares about PEOPLE.

But honestly, even though I recognize the many, many, many socialist programs we have in America, the fact is that the general population is scared of the word "socialist", so I don't like how he describes himself as such. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with his democratic socialism, but I believe people hear the word "socialist" and start to just freak out.

Lol @ Zebra, holy shit, where do we start how about the Wall we're going to build to keep all the mexican rapists out? Rofl wtf. Ya know, though, almost all of those candidates are scary. Ben mothereffin' Carson talking about banning a specific group of American from being able to be President. And Carla Fiorini? Gaah! Don't get me started! Oh my, Ted Cruz?! Gaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Marco Rubio no. They're all looney tunes.

It's Bernie or Bust!

Buzzwords are the devil.

Frank Zappa once said, "They're just words."

Who's your mafia nemesis?

Sloonei!

I'm looking at you bub.
