no, i don't like them. i went on one when i was 9ish. it was fine then and i enjoyed it a lot. my level of motion sickness as an adult would not allow me the same positive experience plus covid, eeek.

Just on that note, my friend - I will confess your performance early in that game was one of those rare occurrences where I felt a compulsion to throttle you By the end though, I'd come to the conclusion you were just seriously misguided. I am comforted in the knowledge that you are indeed a very smart cookie - just a bad one on that occasion

Incidentally, I for got to mention, I have started writing my first novel. It's a work in progress but I'll get there one day

IIMO - the best interrogation room questions have answers that lead to more questions! So......

I have a hard time cooking fish so I don't do it often as seafood is kinda pricey in the desert - any recommendations on how best to do it? minced ginger and teriyaki sauce for either white or dark fish. I prefer cooking salmon with soy sauce and minced garlic. Don't buy fish sauce. just throw the fish in a bowl and slather it up for about a min works fine. Heat pan, Olive oil in pan, put in on skins odd up medium-high for 7-8 minutes, flipping when it turns white. A it'll ground carrots and parsley as toppings go a long way.

Kale chips sound interesting. You are right, I am skeptical. I've heard from even my most hard core health food friends that kale is nasty. Do you think the baking process helps it to loose some of the bitterness? im no scientist, I only fix teleporters. But...kale is one of those things that are good for you in limited doses and can be fixed in flavor by adding salt no joke, I prefer it over French fries.

Is there some food you don't like? If so what is it? YES. There are literally two things I refuse to eat. Whole tomatoes, and thin French fries, like the ones from McDonald's. People say I'm crazy, and I tell them yes now give me your money

Is there something you've always wanted to learn to make but haven't yet? food wise? Probably biscuits from scratch. General-wise? My credit card payments.

What is your favorite (or 3) board game? Stratego. We're actually about to play. I enjoy a good game of Avalon and Pathfinder: the card game

What is your favorite (or 3) card games? I currently play 3 every day: Love Letter, Gin Rummy, and I do Texas holdem poker tournaments every so often

Can you tell us about an acting experience you had that was less than idea but a good story nonetheless? hahahah sure. The first time I went in to audition for an agent, it was a cattle call type of thing, where we waited one at a time in line to do a performance in front of said agent. They said specifically not to tell them that we liked to sing and act, because that's boring. So...my 12 year old brain goes, "hey, that'd be funny if I did just that. So I went up, they asked what I liked to do in my spare time, i answered "sing and act", and when they stared in disapproving silence for 5 seconds, I changed tactics and said I could talk to seagulls, followed by a few loud CAWs. They basked in my spontaneity and said thank you and I never saw or heard from them again. It went...poorly.

What is your favorite food to get when you are too lazy to cook? me love quest bars. That will replace a meal for me sometimes. I love em.

What is your favorite "touristy" thing to do in NYC? What would you stab yourself in the eye if one more friend or family member asked you to do? well a big touristy thing to do is see a Broadway show, so definitely that. For the less artistically inclined, I'd recommend traversing to the Top of the Rock[efeller Center] at sunset. It's cheaper than Empire State Building and has a better view IMO.

As for family members: if my mom asks me to perform like a monkey one more time, I'm gonna go apeshit

What kind of music do you like? im very eclectic but in general if it has a good beat and harmonies I'm hooked. I'm a big fan of classic rock for the latter reason.

How do you feel about Shakespeare? i have a love/hate relationship. I could have been in a Shakespeare conservatory but I turned it down to do music theater. Shakespeare is one of those things that I respect if it is done well, and dread if it is not

Scotty, what is the name of your Russian contact? We know you have one. And where are you hiding the smuggled goods?

I'm not above waterboarding.

i am fearless leader, I do not need Russian contact. Only dead moose and squirrel

We kilt pesky skwril for you feerless leader. Am so sorry moose proved too difficult. you did well, Natasha. I think you were Natasha. Hahaha I never got to talk with you.

Now am askink questions:

Favorite mafia role you've had? Well I've only been Mafia 4 times, so of those, I guess being the Smoke Monster in Lost Again had the most potential for being awesome, but I was sniffed out pretty early.

Have you ever hosted? Would you like to? Believe it or not, I'd rather host. I've got 2 games just sitting in the queue just waiting. Waiting....at the pace of things I feel like it'll be another year if things keep stalling in signups

Do you cook? If so, what is your specialty? i actually do cook! I am really good at marinating and stovetop cooking fish of all colors. Also here's a fun thing for the kids: Kale Chips!
I know what you're thinking: Scotty, Kale rhymes with Stale, and tastes like feet. Ahhh, but with proper seasoning, it tastes just like French fries. Take some Olive Oil Pam and lightly spray a baking sheet full of hand-ripped kale sans stems and coat liberally with salt. Put in the oven on 250• for 30 minutes, shaking it around about halfway thru. Seriously, any kid I have babysat eats that shit like a goat on plastic.

What other things do you like to do in your free time that is not games? i...I actually can't think of anything. It's a weird curse, because although I can't get bored ever, it can be lonely when I don't have people to play with. Im like a fucking golden retriever.

Favorite play? Well as I said, my favorite play is Noises Off, which is more of a farce. But they made a movie with Christopher Reeve, John Ritter and Michael Caine if you ever want a good movie recommendation. As far as standard drama, I'm partial to Clifford Odets' "Rocket to the Moon" and Jerome Lawrence/Robert Edwin Lee's "Inherit the Wind"

Do you prefer plays or musicals? surprisingly, I prefer acting in plays, but I keep getting seen and sent in for musicals and booking those instead. I love theater in all its forms though. Except Brechtian theater of education. Because I'd rather have a good mix of entertainment, enjoyment, and reflection, not just education.

Favorite musical? hard hard hard. I did Urinetown like 10 years ago. And that one is hilarious and was even more fun to perform. So that one.

What role would you most like to have on stage? when I'm old enough, my dream role is Harold Hill in The Music Man.

What role have you played that you most enjoyed at this point? Ive played Snoopy in Charlie Brown and that was a hoot. If not that, then Bobby in the aforementioned Urinetown.

What is your favorite way to spoil yourself? Someone else? im a human trash can, and happy that my metabolism hasn't slowed down to a point where I can no longer be a human trash can, but for now that is my spoil.

If you came to visit me, what would you like to do? games. You pick- I'm flexible

If I came to visit you, what would you take me to do? if you came to NY, I'd bring you to the local food places- none of that touristy crap. Places like Artichoke Pizza, the Waffles and Dinges cart, Pomme Frittes, and some of the best places in Chinatown.

Favorite Star Trek Series? well this is interesting- I don't know as much as you probably assume I do but the Next Generation is pretty swell. I haven't seen all of them.

Favorite USS Enterprise? i guess it would have to be the NCC-1701-D!

What kind of Acting do you do? (TV, Movies, Theatre?) ive dabbled in tv but my background is primarily theatre. It's where the big bucks aren't, but the enjoyment is so much higher.

How much wood could a wood chuck, chuck, if a wood chuck, could chuck wood? pardon me for being irreverent, but I answer with a question: how many cookies could a cookie Wookie cook if a cookie Wookie could cook cookies?

If they had sign ups to go on a manned mission to space would you do it knowing you might not come back? good question! no. Mostly because I've seen how astronauts pee and I don't like that.

What is your quest? To seek the Holy Grail, or whichever star system is closer, depending.

What is the space-speed velocity of the USS Enterprise? Away with you, Borg!

Dom wrote:Scotty, what's your favorite show? favorite show ever? noises off. I am SO pissed I missed it in its recent engagement and as soon as I get back to NY I'm rushing the shit out of that show.
Who's your favorite composer? im a big supporter of the new composers that have come out recently, but Sondheim is always a classic standby. I mean, Jesus, he's so innovative.
What's your favorite show that you've worked on?Im a musical fellow myself, so my favorite show I've been in was American Idiot. But it's a love hate/relationship, one of which I'm still seeing physical therapy for.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:Town, mafia or indie? i always prefer town, but wouldn't mind an Indi role now and then. So far I'm 1/4 Mafia, so...is there a common denominator?
Generic (classic) or role madness? i have to be in the mood for role madness. Classic is safer, like an apple pie without additive sugar
Best game you've ever played? i got really involved with the Watchmen game, even though I was wrong about most everyone even as the cop. That was a fun game. I almost always lose the games I play, so I've gotta keep up for the journey
Favorite role you've ever had? i was that fucking annoying minstrel rooster from Robin Hood on a Disney madness game on Mafia Universe which was a simple enough: writing thread posts every day. But I chose to rewrite lyrics from Disney songs. I lasted until the end and got a chance to really flaunt my feathers.
The play you're the most proud of doing in a game? i actually am really hard on myself playing these games (because I almost never win) so pride escapes me. I guess it has to be the only Mafia win I've had in Home Alone. Elo and I manipulated people into thinking low posters were the way to go. Nothing too dramatic, but it worked. So I guess I'm proud of that.
Have you played anywhere other than in the Syndicate? If yes, how is it like there? i played originally on JTM from a suggestion from Online Resistance. I played a few games over there, and the crowd was not afraid to be crass, which I thought was fun. Definitely a little younger vine over there. Juliets invited me (or was it splints?!) over here and although I have dabbled in RYM and MU, this place has just seemed more homier. So, much to the chagrin of everyone here, I've rooted myself.
Beam me up Scotty?im tryin, but I don't know if the base will support yuh!

juliets wrote:Where do you live (you dont have to get too specific, a country or state will do) i usually reside in New York, USA, but right now I live in hotel rooms all across the country
Are you in school? nope! I graduated 4 years ago! But the loaaaaaans. The loaaaaans never graduate.
If not, what school did you go to? i went to NYU
What is your profession if you're not in school? im lucky to call myself a working actor at this time
Have you traveled much? Where have you been? ive been a few places, from Costa Rica, to Ireland, to Alaska, to Korea, Japan, and Kalamazoo, MI. I've been to 45 of the US states.
Whats your favorite place? Ireland was pretty swell, but my recent excursion to Vancouver was AWESOME, eh?
Where do you wish you could go if you could pick anywhere? Neverland (tm), where I could kill Peter to claim the throne and never have to pay taxes ever again.
What's your favorite hobby? Games. Of any kind. I'm literally always playing a game. People scoff; but when they're bored, they come to me.
Do you play video games?I used to play a lot more than I do now. I have an addictive personality so the days of playing MMORPGs for example and not leaving the computer terminal for 23 hours are over.
If so whats your favorite? Loaded question. I played Asheron's Call from 2002-2014. That was a huge part of my teen years interacting online. But I am always in the mood for any game that doesn't require a steep practice curve (I'm looking at you, DOTA 2)
Coke, Diet Coke, or Pepsi? im originally from Atlanta, so the polar bear police would kill me if I said anything but Coke. Also, in the south, Pepsi is a coke.
How many siblings do you have and is there anything you can tell us about them? i have 3 half siblings, all younger. I rarely see them. 2 are identical girls. They are all the main love of my life even though I see them like once a year, if that

I'll stop and le someone else pick up from here.

How many planets do you think there are in the solar system?
Tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands though I believe they say Millions.

What show would you recommend to someone to start their SO?
SO? I'm not sure what this is? If you could elaborate I would be happy to answer.
