The Person Above You
« on: March 13, 2013, 08:09:43 pm »

So, this seems to proliferate in every single forum - I guess it hasn't here yet because we're too sophisticated for that, playing Dominion.  But here goes.  This may or may not amount to anything.

Ask the person above you a question - they have to answer it when they can, and of course provide a question for whoever ends up above them.

I'll start with a question for whoever ends up posting: What got you into Dominion?

BSW.

Why don't you play any serious Forum Games here?
Bonus question: How do we stop this from just alternating between the two of us?

Shouldn't this be "Ask the Person Below You" a question?  That makes a lot more sense structurally.

theory: I agree.
Ozle: Do you agree this might get a bit confusing with so many questions out at the same time?

I sort of saw it as an opportunity to ask specific questions of people.

BSW.

Bonus question: How do we stop this from just alternating between the two of us?

Because they always seem to have started - there's never one that's opening up for new players - it's always "MAFIA CRUSADE ELEVENTY-THREE" or something like that.

Bonus: By other people joining, of course!

And yes, let's switch to theory's version.

SO: What got PERSON BELOW ME into Dominion?

That has the problem you can't personalize your question though. BTW, all games that are in this board and not in one of it's child boards haven't started yet, and are open for signups (unless they just filled up)
(ignore this post for questioning purposes).

AGH.  Just do it the original way.  Ignore my previous one.

There's no story between my username really, I just liked how it sounds.

This system doesn't work, there's no way for new people to come into it (without having multiple questions around at once, which gets confusing)

Anyway: Ozle: So you're not gonna answer this?

Oh, so if you post in this thread you must keep coming back here for forever more?  Sounds good to me.

Watno:  Are you asking that as if you're trying to make him say a contradictory statement, or are you asking him if he won't answer because he said he's not interested?

It's a dango.  They're from an anime called Clannad.  The ending theme song to the first season is a song about them (I have a link to the song in my signature).  It's supposed to be like a children's song, but after you watch the show it's a lot more than that.  I can also play that song on the piano.

Robz: Have you ever seen that picture of link that's your avatar as a penguin?  Because that's what I thought it was at first...

No! It doesn't look much like a penguin to me. I'm just a big Zelda fan.

I don't actually even like Scout! ;)

I have so many favorite cards, but currently I probably like Governor the best, because it breeds so much confusion and you can do so much with it. I think everybody underrates it slightly, it's so good.

Because he's fucking AWESOME, that's why.  He looks awesome.  He's just badass.  He's get a pretty sweet Speed, too.

My brother played it with his friends at college, and last Octobor for his birthday (though his birthday was the month before) they got him it.  I started playing it, liked it, found this site, etc.

Sister brought it for Christmas of 2010.  Thought it was fun, but it sat on the shelf.  Went back to it summer of 2011, and just fell in love.  Bought expansions, and was just in time for Hinterlands previews.

sudgy: Will you be moving to Goko?

Not sure, I'll probably check it out, but I'm pretty sure I won't buy any expansions.  Depending on how good it is I'll see if I'll stick around.  I play irl, so I feel I don't need to play it.  Maybe they should let you ssslllooowwwlllyyy earn gocoins (don't know if I spelled that right) by playing a lot (enough that the ads would pay for all the money you would usually spend).  I know I can't change that of course.

Anyway, Galzria, how did you feel about winning the other two games (the dice rolling one and the post without interruptions one)?

@Sudgy:

I was all like, WHOOOOOOOO.... and then afterwards there was a hollowness left inside me. I'm not quite sure if it's from knowing that I'll never get those minutes spent pointlessly spamming a thread back... Or if it's from not having a thread to continue to pointlessly spam anymore.

Actually, the fails are so much more entertaining to me than when someone wins (yes, even myself!). I found much of the dice rolling thread to be highly entertaining, and all those lovely posts wouldn't exist if someone had just won in, say, the tenth post. Same goes for the interrupt game. There's some really random, funny stuff in there. Ah well.

Ok, only one more post from me, I swear. So whoever is below me, ask Sudgy a question instead (Sudgy, you must ask yourself a question if it's you. Then answer it. And ask another. And so on.)

@Sudgy: Did you know that switching computers was going to doom you I'm the interrupt game or did you hope to get changed over in time? Obviously you couldn't say "AFK", but I really was expecting a block.

I was pretty sure it would doom me.  But I thought, "Oh well.  I've already posted a lot in there and have gotten the time I post the most to be 11:00."

Also, Galzria, it's against the rules not to ask you a question (whether you answer it yourself is entirely your idea).  So my question is: how did you think up of your username?
