@speedchuck @Lunalee, with Owner we're only three short of a full starting squad.

Lunalee wrote: ↑Thu Mar 29, 2018 12:36 pm colonialbob , I see you enjoy boardgames. What are some of your favorites?

Of the ones I own, I really like Scythe, Roll for the Galaxy, Bohnanza, and Innovation. One of my friends has Star Trek: Ascendancy, and despite not caring much about Trek I love the game. I also like legacy games: I have a group that's playing through Charterstone, and I loved Pandemic Legacy. I also have several games I own that want to play more, and hopefully I'll get a chance soon!

I also saw your regret was joining Tau Beta Pi... I agree! I also joined for my resume, and also felt like I got zero out of it.

I have not heard of most of the games you mentioned, but I will keep them in mind next time we go on a game buying spree.

Glad I'm not the only one who felt duped by Tau Beta Pi. I tried to "drop out" but I don't think anyone got the memo. I still the The Bent in the mail every quarter, lol

what are your favorite pizza toppings?

Mushrooms, sausage, and black olives.

congratulations you are 100% correct these are the best


(well, also goat cheese, and basil, and some other things if you want to get into more specialty types of pizza. but for a classic style sausage and olive is the way to go)

Ha, glad you agree! I do enjoy specialty pizzas as well.

Ha ha, yep. We may have to give up some of our precious free-time.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Mar 26, 2018 10:32 pm @ Lunalee, what's one thing you did and regret?

I regret joining Tau Beta Pi, the Engineering Honors Society. I was encouraged to join because it would look good on my resume, so I did, but I got zero benefit out of it. It was purely a status thing. I spent time volunteering to stay in, and went to group meetings for about four semesters, and finally quit my last semester, because I felt it was a waste of time. As far as regrets go, this is pretty minor. I just don't regret much of what I've done. :P

Do you want to have kids in the future? How many?

I would like to have kids one day! I think 3 or 4 is a good number.

What's your favorite and least favorite house chore?

Favorite? I'm supposed to enjoy house chores? lol, maybe sweeping outside if it's a nice day.
Least Favorite: Cleaning up the kitchen. I will gladly put away laundry and clean the floors while procrastinating cleaning up dirty dishes.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Mar 26, 2018 2:23 pm who is your biggest inspiration, Luna?

This may sound cliche, but my parents are an inspiration to me. They've accomplished so much in their lives, and I would love to be where they're at one day.

beyond playing ultimate Frisbee, do you have any special talents we don't know about?

I am somewhat fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), but it's been a while since I've used it, so I'm reluctant to say that it's a "talent".

what's your favorite food?

I have quite a few favorite foods (not picky at all), but I'll go with coconut milk ice cream. It just tastes so pure and good.

are you a coffee or tea drinker?

I really enjoy coffee, but I do drink tea occasionally too.

what are your favorite pizza toppings?

Mushrooms, sausage, and black olives.

I'm a pretty small person (about 5 feet, 2 inches in height, and barely over 100 pounds), so I think I would like to have unlimited strength and endurance, just to freak people out.

dunya wrote: ↑Fri Mar 23, 2018 11:48 am sounds fun really, maybe I'll play one day!

what's your horoscope?

I'm a Gemini (honestly just had to go look that up ).

what kind of music are you into?

Okay, this is a difficult one for me. I like anything that "sounds good," which is subjective, I know. This includes some Bluegrass, Celtic/Irish folk tunes, Classical, Rock, Indie/Alternative Rock, Progressive Rock, Pop, and Country. Sorry for such a broad answer, but I'm pretty open minded when it comes to music.

are you a TV series junkie? fav shows?

No, not really. However I do enjoy watching anime series (thanks to speedchuck's influence).

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 11:53 pm I would play every day if I could only find the time and the people. It is my favorite hobby period, with its only sports peer being table tennis. The flick is also my preferred toss, with a forehand grip and a a low release. It's where I get the most power and deep accuracy. Sometimes I rely on it too much though and lose the standard backhand toss.

Uh. Yeah I'm obsessed. Somehow though despite living on a college campus, finding people to play with is harder than ever. When/where did you get started with the world's greatest sport?

I started playing about two years ago after connecting with an Ultimate Frisbee group at a student organization fair on my college campus. I then discovered the Huntsville Ultimate Club through the people I met, which has its own competitive teams, and organizes open sign-up leagues. Wish you could come play with us, JJJ!

And [mention]dunya[/mention] , it's quite an organized sport with rules and lingo, but the cool thing about it is that everyone takes on referee responsibility during games, like pausing the game if some one is injured, and calling in or out of bounds.

Lunalee wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 10:06 pm I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee, and just signed up for a local women's league starting this Sunday!

It's the greatest outdoor game there is. What's your preferred way to throw? Do you fancy yourself better suited to passing the disc or getting open/catching it?

I assume you're a fellow Ultimate player? I actually prefer to throw flicks, which seems backwards from most people I know. I'm definitely much better at getting open and catching than making good passes. Hoping to improve on that more this season.

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:12 pm I know you have cats so I'm going to assume you're a cat > dogs person?

I love my cats, but I don't know if I would classify myself as strictly a "cat person," I've freaked out plenty over cute, friendly dogs.

do you play any sports?

I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee, and just signed up for a local women's league starting this Sunday!

have you traveled much to other states or countries? where would you like to go to now if time and money were not an obstacle?

I traveled a lot when I was younger with my family. We lived in the Marshall Islands for a few years, and visited Hawaii quite a bit during that time.
If money was not an obstacle, I would go so many places. I would especially love to visit Japan, New Zealand, and Australia.

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 7:18 pm what do you think is your worst trait? best?

Worst trait: I can be indecisive to a fault.
Best trait: I always think the best of people, and sometimes legitimately don't notice if I'm being slighted (part of the social awkwardness, maybe?).

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 7:18 pm do you know what your myers briggs is?

I have taken the myers briggs test multiple times, and always forget what I am. So as of today, I am a ISFP-A (Introverted, Observant, Feeling, Prospecting, Assertive), using this test here (which is very nicely laid out!): https://www.16personalities.com/isfp-personality

juliets wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:40 pm Lunalee,

Are you from Alabama? Did you go to college there and if yes, which one (I was born and raised in Huntsville).

Yes! I'm from Huntsville Alabama, and went to college at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). That's so cool you were raised here too!

juliets wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:40 pm Does your family live nearby?

My family does live nearby, which is nice.

juliets wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:40 pm Do you have brothers and sisters?

I have one older sister.

juliets wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:40 pm What church do you go to in Huntsville (I went to First Christian on Whitesburg) or do you go to a church outside of Huntsville?

We worship at Jordan Park Church of Christ.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:54 pm Has speedchuck ever boasted about winning three socky awards in a live, in-person conversation?

I mean, that is quite an accomplishment. But yes. We were visiting his family during the sockys, and he let them all know he won three awards, and what they were for.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:54 pm Dark, milk, or white chocolate?

Dark chocolate.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:54 pm What is your avatar about?

My avatar is an artistic depiction of Luna Lovegood, from the Harry Potter series. I absolutely love her character, and in some ways empathize with her awkward social skills.

Oh hey, it's my turn! Thanks dunya!

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:25 pm Lunalee, to get things started: what's the most annoying thing about living with speedchuck? [mention]Lunalee[/mention]

Hm, probably his inability to get out of bed in the morning.

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:25 pm how did you 2 meet?

We met at church actually! I was 16 and my family moved to a new church, and speedchuck was 17, and had just moved to the area to go to college. We did not start dating until 2 years later.

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:25 pm what do you do for a living?

I work as a systems engineer.

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:25 pm how did you start playing online mafia?

My initial motivation for signing up with this forum was to play speedchuck's burglary game (based off A Hat in Time). He was super excited about running it and needed a few more players. Since then I've decided online mafia is pretty fun, so I may stick with it for a while.

[mention]ColinIsCool[/mention] , do you have any pets? And if so, can you share pictures?
