We where going to have a get together for my birthday. A house party with 30-40 people. Things came up so we had to reschedule. So now my b-day plans fell through and I had nothing to do. Nephew called me and asked if I wanted to come over and play board games. I said sure. When I got there my boy nephews and some of their friends where there with a cake and sang me happy birthday. Then that night high school friends picked me up and we were out till about 3-4am

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:08 am What's a skill you'd love to master?

I can't think of anything I want "to master". I would like a little bit of knowledge about everything. That's a different mentality from my father nd grandfather. They where more of learn your job and just do your job. I remember talking to my grandfather and telling him. I was ready for more responsibility and to do more. " I know a little bit of everything now, let me move on." He said " You know a whole lot about nothing. Get back to work."

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:08 am What's your favorite activity to do with your family?

I like playing board games. Wife not so much but the kids do so she tolerates it, sometimes. We like taking small day trips or weekend trips. Small towns, scenic views, shopping, concerts, or whatever.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 9:08 am What's the longest amount of time you've gone without sleeping?

I have know idea. Probably not much past 24hrs. Though in high school I would party all weekend.

Yes, but don't think he should. I can also see his daughter going for a run. I think thats a problem with US. Very polarized and they are doing it on purpose whomever they are. We have a lot we can agree on and work together with instead of fighting each other over.

My rings. My wedding ring is a combination of my father's ring after he passed and my wedding ring. My right hand is a family ring. My great grand father made it for my grandpa. Its the initial of our last name.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 8:15 pm Yeah travelling is super important to me and probably a big reason why having kids never happened for me and won't happen. I get kinda claustrophobic at the idea and respect people who do choose to have kids so much. I am still a teenager at heart i guess.

Adopt a 17 year old or find someone with grown kids.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 7:04 pm did the coyote go after your geese/ducks or one of your dogs!! that is scary. i lived in a rental like 7 years ago in cyprus with a wild pack of dogs that would come every night and scare me to death. i also lived in sweden where there was a pack of wolves and bears that would come into my garden and the bears especially would scour my trash lol. not fun!

Little dog. Put some puncture holes in her. I caught the coyote with my dog in its mouth and ran them off.
P.S. Talking about the places you lived made me think. That's probably the one thing I missed that I wish I could have had. After high school I had friends that traveled the country and lived in different places. Would have liked that.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 7:04 pm do you like sports? fav sport to watch and team to support?

Not a huge sports fan. Like watching football when its on but not upset if I miss it. Collage basketball is fun when I can have time to watch. Rock Chalk!!

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 7:04 pm is christmas better than thanksgiving?

Christmas. Acouple of weeks of multiple gatherings. Our family, my family, wifes family and wifes extended family. Thanksgiving is just always 1 day with whomever asked for us over first.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 7:04 pm what's your fav alcoholic drink?

Going to mow grass after typing this. I like being able to zone out for 45min-1hr

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 6:31 pm who walks the dogs in your house the most?

We all equally do. We have a pond in the backyard and they like chasing geese and ducks. Once had a coyote try to take one as well. That freaked us out.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 6:31 pm are you an early bird or night owl?

Definitely a night owl. I like staying up later than everyone else. Do what I want and answer to myself. As I get older it's getting harder to sleep in. Especially with my wife, she is a early riser.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 6:31 pm will you be at video mafia this weekend!

Probably not. Friday is a high school alum charity event and Saturday is home town chamber of commerce charity event. My wife likes events.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 12:03 pm i love the memories answer too bad my MEMORY SUCKS


have you always wanted to start a family?

what's the greatest thing about being a dad?

what is the thing you miss most about life before kids?

I had my boy when I was 18. It wasn't planned but I'm happy he is with us.
My wife and I had a class together in elementary school 4/5 grade. I first asked her out then. We got back together when high school started and have been together since.
We have one boy and two girls. I think my wife and I always knew we were going to be together and have a family. Life before kids was school. Who doesn't wish they could go back to school? The only thing I think can be considered is missing out on shenanigan's of the 20's. I wouldn't change it for anything though. We are still young enough to do what ever we want and not worry about babies at this age is great. Watching kids grow and the personalities they develop from mom and me is enjoyable. It always feels good being needed and loved. A little bitter sweet now that they are getting older and don't want to do as much with us anymore but we a close. Plus, like I said we are now able to do what we want while my buddies are still changing diapers.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 9:58 am f you could interview a famous person, dead or alive, who and why?

Never thought about it. Maybe Cleopatra. I've always wondered why how someone can kill themselves. It seems selfish to me. Plus It would be interesting to hear first hand perspective of the world at that time.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 9:58 am what is your fav holiday?

Probably Christmas. Lots of family gatherings. Catch up with people that I don't get to see a lot of.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 9:58 am do you collect anything?

Memories. The most valuable thing you can collect.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 9:58 am what song is the soundtrack of your life atm?

It's the time of the year when the weather is getting better and makes me think of this song.

dunya wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 9:21 pmdid you get one?

Yes but can't come home until 12 weeks. So sometime in June.

dunya wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 9:21 pm what's your biggest "irrational fear"?

Scared of heights. Up on a tall building or cliff I get a uneasy feeling. Feels like I could fall at anytime. Totally OK with flying.

dunya wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 9:21 pm what's your biggest pet peeve?

Not cleaning up while you cook. My wife and kids make the biggest mess while cooking and don't clean anything until after dinner. By the time I'm done cooking everything that can be cleaned or put up is.

dunya wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 9:21 pm do you like reading? fav book?

It's been a long time since I read a hard cover book. Like Harry Potter days. Now I read Webtoons and a couple light web novels. Tower of God, THE BEGINNING AFTER THE END.

No but I have driven on one. Went through Rocky Mountain National Park on the pass north of Granby. Wanted to take the scenic view towards Fort Collins. That was a stressful drive I'm scared of heights and a lot of that road is just cliffs.

I don't like being mafia. I'm not great at mafia and always feel like I will let my team down. As town I don't know who my team is so I feel more comfortable, feels like I'm solo-ish.

I despise driving in Texas. In my opinion worst drivers. They pass on the right. Don't yield for anyone. Drive in the passing lane.

When I was young and internet just became a thing, I would always be on the computer. I remember dad yelling at me to get off and stop playing on that screen. I was in the process of making an account at that moment, maybe a yahoo chat, and light bulb moment. SCREENPLAY a great name and taken. No problem. Srceenplay.

My wife plans everything. I can just imagine how it would go with us. I like going with the flow but she has to make sure every bit of time is used efficiently.

what's the best thing to do or must dos in kansas for someone who's never been?

is kansas famous for anything?

Have a friend from Costa Rica. He goes back home a couple times a tear for one to two weeks at a time. Been asking us to go for awhile.


Kansas is all plains. Some hills in the west. I'm in the suburb of the biggest city in the state. Has just about anything a big city has and I can get to it in 20 min or less. All the small towns in the area have rodeos in the summer. Used to go when I was a kid but haven't been in years. I like where I live because it's not to big. Just the right size. KC, OK city, Tulsa, Dallas, are place we like going to get away for short trips. My city is known as the air capital of the world. Big aviation industry. When I was young my family had a small plane and we would go flying. I want to get my pilot license and buy a plane but my wife said she would never fly with me. I think it would be nice to fly on our trips.

juliets wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 12:51 am Are you in school or working or both or neither? Tell us about either or both!

To old for school. I'm part time in the school of life. Full time shop foreman. We work on suspensions for semis, trucks and some cars.

juliets wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 12:51 am What's your dream vacation and when will you take it?

Dream would be to take a month long trip through SE Asia or Europe. Probably not going to have time for that until I retire.
We do take family vacations some where every year. This year we are planning on California. Daughter wants to see "the tall trees." Next year my other daughter graduates and wants out trip to be in Hawaii. We are also planning Costa Rica for winter 2023.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 4:29 pm wait, you MAKE your own beer? what's it like? light or dark?

I make all kinds. Well used to. Haven't made any lately. I used to keep a stout, light lager or wheat, and then pale ales or ipas on tap(6). If I knew who to post pics I would show you.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 4:29 pm what's your fav boardgame to play!?

Don't have one. It is kind of always rotating. Probably Catan. That was my gateway. Always down to play Clank or T.I. if I have a free day. Been playing Cascadia lately.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 3:49 pm do you like to cook? what's the best dish you can cook up?

I like the idea of cooking but don't like cooking. When I do cook I like throwing (random) ingredients into a dish to see what happens. If I had to pick my favorite thing to make besides beer it would be banana bread. fresh bread, yum.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 3:49 pm where in the US are you from--do you live there still today?

Born and raised in Kansas. Close enough and far enough away from everything in the states.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 3:49 pm do you like boardgames?

Yes. Don't play as often as I used to but still try to at least once a month.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 2:53 pm when did you start playing mafia?

Started playing mafia on a starcraft 2 mod. Did that for a year or two and then in 2016 or 17 played my first forum game at Mafiascum.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 2:53 pm do you prefer video mafia over forum mafia?

I like both. Video is funny because you can see and interact with people in real time. Plus you can get multiple games in one session. Forum is slower and more relaxed and never really put on the spot.

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 2:53 pm what's your biggest pet peeve about other people?

Arrogance. Everyones shit stinks, don't think yours doesn't.
That and people who take the "game" to seriously. Maybe one day there will be a competitive forum for them?

dunya wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 2:53 pm do you have any bad habits you can't quit?

I don't overly think about the games I play. Usually just in the moment off gut reactions. I probably could do a little more thread diving and due diligence.

Scotty wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 3:06 pm Best dungeon crawler…Descent: Journeys into the Dark 2nd edition for nostalgia sake, but I should be saying Gloomhaven. (Gloomhaven is more puzzly, Descent is more luck based I feel)

I wonder if this implies you like randomness more than skill? (That's what i like.)
I always here about love letter. Probably should go ahead and buy it. My problem is I'm a kickstarter junkie. Probably have backed about 50 games and only have played half.

Favorite yard game?
Favorite board game?
Favorite video game?
