Title: 2 Truths and a Lie
Post by: Mateui on October 13, 2010, 07:27:00 pm
In an interest to spruce up this forum with some more topics and conversation I thought it would be neat if we could play the icebreaker game of 2 truths and a lie. It's pretty easy to play. You basically post with 3 statements about yourself. Two of them are true whereas one of them is a lie. It's best if you use statements about yourself that not many GWers would know about just to make things fun. To keep it interesting it would be best if you don't reveal which statement is a lie and leave it up to each GWer to figure it out on their own. Some things should just be left unknown...

Alright, I'll start things off.

1. When I was three years old I was hit by a car when I was crossing the street. I ended up in a coma for 3 days and I still have a scar above my left cheekbone right down to this day.
2. I am unable to urinate in public urinals for some reason.
3. I once attended a party dressed up as a chocobo. Kweh!

Ok. Now it's your turn!

I thought the same it lacks detail the first was way too detail to be fake and the 2nd one is a common phobia.(even if it's a odd one epically as a male but the more common but related to restrooms is sitting down on public toilets )

1. I am active in my local Green Party.
2. One time, while riding a bicycle, I got hit by a car going about 40 kmph. Had to be brought to the hospital by ambulance with police escort. Aside from a few scrape wounds and muscle pains I was alright, though. The full work-up they gave me brought a rare but mostly harmless heart defect to light (an abnormality of the aortic valve) for which I now carry a small red card in my wallet.
3. At age 12 I modeled for a clothing brand and my pictures were on display in stores all over Holland.

#3 must be true because you're in (or were in) art school. #2 and #1 are both about as likely to occur so let's ask Python.

1. I enjoy tinkering with RM2k3.
2. I wank, on average, once daily.
3. After the death of my very affluent great grandfather four years ago in 2006, I learned that he placed me as his sole beneficiary on his will. I received over $4,000,000 USD and his estate which boasts a luxurious three stories and a picture-esque view of the nearby river. Unfortunately, it caught on fire and was not insured at the time, so now I have resorted to living in the spare bedroom of my parents' home, feeding off of whatever lies in their cabinet. I sit here today, broke, because I donated the $4,000,000 to help the homeless who are living in urban settlements throughout the United States.

Only two of these are true, and the other one is false - I bet no one can figure out which one it is.

My first post on GW was a one-liner outlining the process of making and eating a smegma sandwich. bort told me I was ridiculous and called me "tex" and I hated him for like a year because of that.

I also bought a DBZ aloha shirt when I was 12, but I've never used it.

#2 is a lie. I've made a couple of games, but so far I haven't sold one!

1. I'm afraid of aliens, greys, extraterrestrial life forms in general

Isn't a big part of this reading the person facial expressions and body language? Oh well. I guess Ill give it a go:

1) I've only played a single MMO for roughly 5 minutes in my entire life.
2) I once chased down a thief that snatched some of my money right out my hands (it was all I had for lunch), caught up to them and got my money back.
3) I can not stand the taste of oranges for some reason. Artificially flavored Orange drinks are fine.

EDIT: BTW, why was the poll forum ever get taken away? I loved that forum.

#2, I bet.

1. When I was 12 or so, I was going to go trick or treating as a cowboy zombie (I beat Rockstar by a dozen years), but I cried when I thought I looked fucking stupid and I never went trick or treating ever again.
2. I once tried to assault my friend with a knife because he was being too loud outside of my home when I was having a bad day.
3. I had to have my ass operated on to remove something that was caused by some kind of birth defect.

Mine 2 was supposed to be false but I guess they can be intimidating when they're in great numbers

Also I think the point of doing this on an internet forum is to see how deterministic people can be based on what you've seen them posting

warpped655 1 is false
uprc 3 is false

Hahaha, actually #3 was a trick question because it's in the present tense. 3 is the lie, we broke up awhile ago.

Yes, I did go to school in my boxers once, in like...first grade. Halfway through the day I noticed that there was a hole in the crotch area, so I sat at a table through the entire recess and lunch period. Everyone was like "Hey Jonathan why aren't you playing with us?" I just pretended I was pissed and moody. Later that day we were all sitting in a group circle. Here I am, sitting crosslegged but trying to cover up, while the fat guy next to me was like "MISS M! JONATHAN ISN'T PARTICIPATING TODAY! HE SHOULDN'T GET A STICKER!" I was pretty pissed after that, because stickers were the shit back then. But I did literally nothing ALL day. I'm surprised the teacher didn't say anything.

AWKWARD TURTLE MOMENT OVER.

@ed: 2 has to be false, because, you know, physically impossible.
@pulits: you know for the hell of it, I'ma say 2 is false because it seems like the most likely.

Yep. I should have stuck with graphic design. You know... a real industry.

And yeah... I've never been paid $50 an hour doing concept art. Not that concept art ever has any big or ongoing dealios. The same goes for indie comics as a colorist (though when doing covers it comes close).

Gay porn on the other hand...
