[mention]rundontwalk[/mention] how was your weekend what did you do?

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 7:27 am @rundontwalk how was your weekend what did you do?

My girlfriend and I went shopping across the border in Mexico. Bought tortillas, shot glasses, etc. It was my first time being out of the country and I was pumped lol.

I'm in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas atm for Spring Break and it's a lot of fun so far. Probably my favorite area of the state yet. Border towns are fun and kinda sketchy sometimes and it's exciting.

Do you speak Spanish well?

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 12:40 pm Do you speak Spanish well?

No! But I'm learning. Even the white people here speak Spanish it's cool. But if people see I'm white they'll talk to me in English usually, cause most everybody is bilingual.

*bilingual on the US side at least.

We're going back to Mexico on Tuesday cause my girlfriend sees a nutrionist in another border town.

you got some questions on the previous page btw.

is your gf ok? :o

do you play any instruments, skyler?

dunya wrote: ↑Sat Mar 10, 2018 4:24 pm @rundontwalk

what are some of your pet peeves?

do you dunk your french fries in your milkshake?

1. People making plans then cancelling at last minute. People who talk during movies.

2. No but I've been told this is good.

when, if ever, is it permissible to walk?

I actually walk all the time and take the time to stop and smell the roses. Lol.

Yes! The nutrionist has got her on a really good diet and has helped her lose weight through eating more organic food, etc.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 12:57 pm do you play any instruments, skyler?

My original name at RYM was guitarist5000 cause I was 13 and cool. I tried playing the guitar but didn't keep up with it.

Yeah I need to do a detox soon. :-p

I do share the popcorn. With lots of butter.

Hey, [mention]rundontwalk[/mention]! I'm a fellow Texan too (at least for now), even if it's been only 4 years.

How about some music questions?

- Favorite concert you have ever been to (and why)?
- What are your top 5 / 10 / 20 albums of all-time?
- If you could learn and master any musical instrument instantly, which instrument would it be?
- Do you have any pet peeves in music/songs?

Then a couple more Texas questions because why not?

- Have you been to Austin; if so, what's your favorite thing to do there?
- If you knew someone was visiting Texas for the first time and they only had, say, a week or so, what would you suggest for them to visit and/or do?

[mention]rundontwalk[/mention] if you missed MP's questions above ^

I saw them! I'm going to answer when I have time tonight. I wanted to think about the music questions hehe

rundontwalk, apart from mafia and spending time with your adorable gf, what do you like to do in your spare time?

1. Bob Dylan. It so cool seeing the man in person. And Willie Nelson opened for him. 2 legends in one

2. Ummmm Pogues - Rum Sodomy and the Lash; Weezer - Blue Album; Jason Isbell - Southeastern, Professor Longhair - Crawfish Fiesta; Phil Ochs - I Ain't Marching Anymore

3. The accordian

4. Lyrics that suck? Lol

--------

1. I love Austin! My brother lives in Pleugerville. Last time I went to this badass indoor rock climbing place near Downtown. I also love the state park there

2. Big Bend is apparently the Crown Jewel of Texas. I haven't been, but just go spend a week there.

As a law student I don't have much spare time lol but I try and read for pleasure. Nonfiction mostly. I like to go hiking and to be out in nature.

As a PhD student, I just wanted to say not only: I feel your pain. Lol. But also: It ends at some point, and you'll not regret it.

Thanks for the answers!

Thanks for answering this week's questions [mention]rundontwalk[/mention] and so good to be playing with you again.






For the next interrogation, I'd like to welcome Kites, the underdog of mafia since his day and the sweetest Finnish dude I know (there's not many, Finns are crazy :P ). Sensitive, funny, kind and smart are the first words I'd think of when I want to describe Kites. Oh also cute as hell, ladies.

[mention]Kites[/mention], to get things started: what's the best thing about Finland? What's the worst?

Out of the other Nordic languages, which is the ugliest? (it's Danish, right? ;p)

What's the best food native to Finland?

Have you been to any other countries? where?

Do you have a gf?

Do you like anime? fav shows?

Hey RYMers, get in on this questioning. Now's your chance!

she’s right

@Kites, to get things started: what's the best thing about Finland? What's the worst?

It wasn’t until recently I started to appreciate the nature and its beauty around here so I’ll pick that. Worst? The weather probs, summer is my fav season but it sucks here and I’d be okay with never seeing snow again

Out of the other Nordic languages, which is the ugliest? (it's Danish, right? ;p)

If I had to listen to samples of Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic I probably wouldn’t be able to tell which is which, no offence

What's the best food native to Finland?

I actually had to google what they are lol. Gotta say I’m not a fan of this stuff but salmon soup is great I think and Karelian pies are ok

Have you been to any other countries? where?

Omg I have to confess I have never been on a plane I have been to Sweden twice though. I really want to travel more

Do you have a gf?

I’m single at the moment

Do you like anime? fav shows?

My anime knowledge is pretty much limited to Miyazaki movies but yes I do. i haven’t watched any shows really.

Are things expensive in Finland?

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?

you mean finland? mm yeah somewhat, the taxing can be kinda ridiculous on some things like alcohol, fuel, anything really. 15? maybe not that much, probs like $12 max but I’m not sure since I don’t drink very much really

idk about Sweden lol but diving isn’t a priced sport here. icehockey, biathlon and athletics are tho

and let me say now I’m not really into sports so don’t ask me about my fav teams or anything please

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

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

[mention]Kites[/mention] hello! How are you? Who were your favorite Rymers? Are you done with school now? Are you working?

Kites, what's your go-to pizza order?

I keep forgetting about this. Kites my dude, I know you're a fellow 5-starrer of Cloven Hoof on RYM. What would you say are your top five metal albums?

I know I missed [mention]rundontwalk[/mention], but curious if you've gotten the chance to go to a lot of cool country shows, being from Texas?

Hi My fav rymers hmm, I’d say the people who used to post regularly in OT, it’s sad it was taken down because I hardly talk to anyone on rym anymore.

I’m not done with school yet, I’m studying chemical engineering but honestly I’m not seeing my future there and I’ve been thinking of med school :P

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:22 pm Kites, what's your go-to pizza order?

Actually I order kebab with fries more often than pizza but if we’re talking pizza I like to keep it simple, tomato, cheese and like pepperoni. no pineapple or onion thanks

MovingPictures07 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 12:07 pm - What is (are) your favorite subgenre(s) of music? Are there any subgenres of music you do not like?

italo disco & spacesynth, synthpop, basically anything with cool synths and Im sold
80’s metal in general, US power metal is probs my fav style
90’s dance in general. Old school hard trance, deep house and everything eurodance seriously rules

genres I don’t like? grunge, indie/alt rock, sad white guy with a piano/guitar singer/songwriter stuff literally bores me to death. exceptions exist of course but avoid this stuff

- Do you know how to play any musical instrument(s)? If so, which, and for how long have you known?

instruments? i did mention drums but I wouldn’t say I’m good at playing them

- Favorite concert you have ever been to (and why)?

there hasn’t been many but seeing iron maiden (+alice cooper) on the final frontier tour was cool. was also my first concert

can’t think of any right now, whiny vocals maybe

- Do you have any esoteric album recommendations that people should check out?

I just removed all my ratings on rym a while ago cos I wanted to listen and rate everything again so it’s hard to remember but have one
Enemite - Wuyuan (cool chinese ritual/dark ambient)

And how about some mafia questions? I see no one has asked you about that yet!

- Do you prefer being civilian or mafia?

mafia of course

- What is your most treasured moment in a mafia game when civilian?

game ending in a 3-way tie (mafia/rogue won), 1 town (me), 1 mafia and 1 rogue. the rogue gained my trust in btsc and i unknowingly assisted her (equus? not sure) to victory

- What is your most treasured moment in a mafia game when mafia?

playing with theprofessional, constantly bussing and trying to get each other lynched, but we won the game

Kites, are you a feminist? what do you think about the #metoo movement?

dunya wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 6:02 pm Kites, are you a feminist? what do you think about the #metoo movement?

idk what’s the exact definition of feminist but Im all for gender equality

sorry im kinda ignorant cos social media for me is pretty much just following random art and shitpost accounts so this is the first time I’m hearing about such movement so i have no opinion on it really. i see it’s for a good cause tho but it’s sad ina way you gotta spread awareness of sexual violence which should be obviously wrong to anyone

Thanks for answering this week's questions [mention]Kites[/mention] and so nice to have you around here impressing everyone with your mafia skills <3






For the next interrogation, I'd like to welcome the sweet and charming Lunalee to the hot seat! [mention]speedchuck[/mention] has been a pretty big contributor to this site since last year and sharing his wife with us was really thoughtful <3 I'm really excited to learn more about you, Lunalee!

[mention]Lunalee[/mention], to get things started: what's the most annoying thing about living with speedchuck?

how did you 2 meet?

what do you do for a living?

how did you start playing online mafia?

please, everyone, go ahead and join in on the fun! speed, if there's anything you'd like to learn about your wife, now's the time to ask.

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.

Has speedchuck ever boasted about winning three socky awards in a live, in-person conversation?

Dark, milk, or white chocolate?

What is your avatar about?

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.

Lunalee,

Are you from Alabama? Did you go to college there and if yes, which one (I was born and raised in Huntsville).
Does your family live nearby?
Do you have brothers and sisters?
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?
Do you work at the same place as speed?

I hope you stay and play with us for a long time!
