That I loved them, and that I taught them about all kinds of cool stuff.

(Is that weird? My last grandparent died when I was like 4 so I've never really known life with grandparents)

What will they actually remember you for and tell their grandchildren about you?

"Grampa sure loved to tell us super corny jokes."

That I had a weird sense of humor and was always cracking jokes that mostly just made myself laugh.

hah I totally thought the first answer to this disappeared somehow but it was just on the next page.

you missed my 3 wishes question!

how did you propose to your wife, or how did your wife propose to you?

I didn't miss it, I'm just having trouble coming up with 3 whole wishes! (That aren't of the "world peace" variety, because those are boring.)

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Apr 03, 2018 5:48 am how did you propose to your wife, or how did your wife propose to you?

We were living in separate states at the time, so she came in to visit for our anniversary. I made her dinner, then put up a video of the night sky on the TV (she likes stargazing) and we slow danced to a couple of her favorite songs, then I proposed.

Then (after we called parents and stuff) we watched like 3 hours of say yes to the dress.

wow cbob, you are such a romantic! I don't peg any of your mafia-ers down as romantics, tbh.

what did you make for dinner?

[mention]colonialbob[/mention], do you think prostitution should be legalized?

what was your dream childhood job?

what kind of music do you like listening to?

More like the "[mention]dunya[/mention] interviews colonialbob" room

I don't remember what I made for dinner... shame on me. I was too focused on the upcoming question to remember much else apparently.

Mmm tough question. Yes but it's a tough answer because you run into exploitation problems. If somebody is doing it because they actually want to, that's fine with me. But if they're being coerced by a significant other / acquaintance / family member it's obviously problematic.

I don't know that I really had one? I did the standard "pretend to be a sports star" stuff as a kid, but I'm not sure if I ever thought I would actually be one when I grew up. For a while I wanted to be an editor, I guess.

I listen to a lot of different stuff. My go-to Pandora stations are Childish Gambino and Blackstar, but I also have a Dead South station to switch it up. I don't mind pop on the radio while driving, although there's certain artists/types I don't care for (Drake, for example). Sometimes I'll go back to 90s alt rock for a bit too, as a change of pace.

Also, this is our dog on a snowy day(sorry, I can't figure out how to resize the picture):
There's a few more pictures here... The second and third are very typical Jake poses.

I'm a curious person, and like to take advantage of this week, sorry

No, that's from a while ago, although we actually did get snow this morning. We're not sure exactly how old he is, when we adopted him they thought he was 4-5, and that was 4 years ago this summer.

Hello hello everyone! let's get started

Top 3 bands are Young the Giant, Two Door Cinema Club, and Passion Pit. For EDM/Dubstep my top 3 is Savant, Zomboy, and Pegboard Nerds

Not many places actually ive only been in service for almost 2 years now. Ive been to South Carolina for BCT, Georgia for job training, and am stationed until further notice in middle of nowhere Oklahoma

My job regards signal communications, so telephones and internet setup and connecting it all, albeit i havent done that specific aspect of my job since i arrived in oklahoma. Ive been resigned to a typewriting middleman of sorts. I joined 100% for schooling which ill be starting some online classes this summer to get a head start.

Im actually from Texas, not even 2.5 hours away from where im stationed. So much for seeing the world right? haha. Texas is amazing and you cannot tell me otherwise okay maybe its got some crazy weather and allergies suck for me but thats it

I have a younger sister who is turning 14 in 4 days, its too bad im leaving the day before though so an early "happy birthday" will have to do.

I think it's what you make of it. Theyre hard no doubt, ive never really had a relationship with someone for more than a couple months and theyve almost always been at least an hour away driving time. If youre going for a long distance relationship, expect it to be more casual than anything.

your syntax was fudged. ill assume its a "know" and the answer is i dont know much about online bullying in general. Much less that people shouldnt listen to strangers on the internet because trolls exist for the sole purpose of malicious intent

Bella my love, why hast you forsaken me?

OT intereogation room talk, the biggest bastard role i've ever played as was as gwilikers' lover. The theme was vampires vs humans. I was Edward and he was Bella. He knew I was a vampire. Vampires were mafia. He was town. The game lasted about a half hour.

Ah, late to my own interrogation. Well here goes!

Well the latest addition to my 5 stars has been Why Don't You Play in Hell? Completely over the top wacky absurdity from the most interesting director working right now imo.

I graduated with a very reluctant degree in English. I went to college with the idea of being an English teacher, and soon realized that I would hate doing that. So I figured I had already put the money in and might as well finish, although I've always regretted going to college. I do not use my degree and have no real intention of using it.

I guess I prefer tea, but I drink coffee every day and tea less often. Convenience is the name of the game.

I definitely prefer being scum, although it hasn't happened too often in my time playing mafia. I have always been awful at scum hunting and don't like the pressure of having to make decisions about who is scum and who is town. I'm a lot better at making bullshit cases when scum than I am at making real cases as town. Plus, I'm almost never suspected by anyone when I play mafia, regardless of alignment, so that helps.

I had a really good time in the celebrity game that Choutas hosted on RYM. It's been the only time I've really masterminded a game as scum and singlehandedly propelled my team to victory. And also since you guys are bringing it up, the Twilight game was a blast even though it was a bit broken. I really miss the behind-the-scenes networking of the early RYM games, even though I realize it probably gave town an unfair advantage.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 6:27 pm Bella my love, why hast you forsaken me?

Mafia takes a lot of energy out of me these days. I can only play a game every once and a little while. Plus I'm just busy with work and stuff.

[mention]gwilikers6[/mention], what is your fondest memory of our dear departed RYM:OT forum?

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 8:23 pm @gwilikers6, what is your fondest memory of our dear departed RYM:OT forum?

It’s hard not to just say mafia, but I suppose I can expand on that a bit. The best thing about RYM OT was that it was a community of cool dudes on a website I’d be using daily regardless. I just don’t care enough to take that extra step to visit an offshoot forum or anything these days. It was nice to have the majority of my internet going-ons in one place. But yeah I really loved the community we had back in the mafia heyday, and met a bunch of super cool people.

Man, I've been using this username since I started playing Runescape like 15 years ago. I have no idea why I chose it, I must have just thought gee willikers was a funny thing to say at the time.

I've got pretty simple hobbies. Music, film, reading, sports, food, and beer should about cover it.

I have a cat named Murph. He is my pride and joy.

I work for a beer distribution company. It's not a bad gig. Great benefits and there could be really solid money down the line.

I try to be as apolitical as possible, so I really don’t like getting into questions like these, but I am pessimistic by nature and do not believe the world is going on a good direction.

I live in New Hampshire. Live free or die, motherfuckers!! It’s...alright. I love not having a state income tax. Hate the winter and how there’s not a lot of stuff to do. Best thing about it would probably be the White Mountains. I’m not the most outdoorsy guy but there’s certainly a lot of cool nature stuff around here. The worst thing about it is definitely the opioid crisis we’re having, cuz that’s really depressing.

what's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Thanks for sharing a picture of your cat. He's gorgeous!

How old is Murph? he's super handsome. He'd make Lizzy a fine husband, fo' sho'.

Anything with a lot of chunks/pieces/swirls/whatever in it! I’m obsessed with Ben and Jerry’s, if I had to pick one of theirs I’d go with Boom Chocolotta Cookie Core. I eat way too much ice cream.

I’m definitely a beer boy through and through, so I rarely get cocktails, but I am partial to the occasional White Russian.
