I anticipated that giving this community the ability to self-reflect with the archive search would cause some interesting developments, but what I hadn't expected was that old memes would be revived even more frequently than they already where. What's next - a flurry of "What did you last.../are you currently..." topics? That'd be like, so 2004... Means of transportation to work/school: Bicycle, train when I visit my parents on weekends. A RL nickname not previously mentioned here: None, really. Oh wait. In elementary they called my "The Professor" for my glasses and smartassyness. Worst choice of Halloween costume you've ever had: I don't do Halloween. A mythological figure you identify with: Tough. Gandalf if that counts as mythological. Otherwise... Odysseus? A Simpsons character you identify with: What is "Simpsons" - some TV show? Favorite Sesame Street character: Don't watch TV. Favorite Spidweb game character: PC-wise, Adrianna from Exile or Mycroft from Avernum. NPC... Motrax. Favorite (English) word: onomatopoeia. Favorite cereal: Some chocolaty stuff the name of which eludes me and wouldn't mean anything to you anyway. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Contrary to popular opinion, there are many here who no longer play, or have never played, Spiderweb games. They find this forum in search of somthing else and stick around, or they are brought here by friends who do play Spiderweb games, or they have relatives on this board. I didn't open a single spiderweb game for most of early 2005, and I have yet to play one this year (except for entering A3 once to check out a dialog message I no longer remembered, but that doesn't really count...) I still play occasionally, but much more rarely than I used to. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Means of transportation to school: Bus or train + tram A RL nickname not previously mentioned here: Pallinaama (although they use it with much love, mind you) Worst choice of Halloween costume you've ever had: N/A, we don't really dress up on halloween. A mythological figure you identify with: I dunno. Epimetheus? A Simpsons character you identify with: Mr Burns (I don't recognize any Simpsons episodes made after season 10 as canon.

Worst choice of Halloween costume you've ever had: Australia isn't big on Hallowe'en and I'm not big on parties, so I've only been to one Hallowe'en party. I went as Elvis Presley, and am still not sure whether this was a good or a bad choice. A mythological figure you identify with: Sisyphus. A Simpsons character you identify with: Marge. Favorite Sesame Street character: What, I can only choose one? ... Fine. Kermit the Frog. Favorite Spidweb game character: Khoth. Favorite (English) word: Flail. It's a verb, it's a noun, it's endless fun to say in either capacity! Favorite cereal: Sultana Bran. Although I also like Quaker Oats, not to eat but because I find its name inexplicably hilarious.

The mythological figure question seems to be the most revealing in the way of personality. It's interesting that only one answer so far has not drawn on Greek culture. There's more out there, you know... even if I can't think of anything right now ( :P ). -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Means of transportation to work/school: Car, foot. A RL nickname not previously mentioned here: Um... Durstë? Worst choice of Halloween costume you've ever had: I went once as a jockey on (inside) a cardboard horse. The thing was like 4 feet long and I went with two others in the same kind of costume.

Favorite Sesame Street character: I used to love Grover, but I haven't seen that show in 12 years. Favorite Spidweb game character: There was some kind of rebel leader in one of the Avernums that I loved and wished to make a larger character, but i can't remember his name now. Haven't played in years. Favorite (English) word: Ambiguous, maybe, or savvy... kind of depends on the day. Favorite cereal: Corn Chex. So light, so unsatisfying, so delicious! -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.
