who are you? (meme/game)

[cellio]

I got this from lordandrei, who posted the lineage here.

Post anonymously, giving me three clues as to who you are. I will try to guess. I won't check IP addresses.

I'll add my guesses to your comments, so you'll have to check back now and then. If I guess wrong, give me another clue. I'll continue until I get it or I give up in despair and embarrassment.

Clues that describe half the people on my friends list, such as "I have cats", won't be very helpful. And if you're not on my friends list but just popping in, you might want to say so if you want me to have a fighting chance. :-)

1. I'm Jewish
2. I've seen Off The Mark perform
3. I'm not in your time zone.

[cellio]

Hmm. That's not actually a unique description, but I'm going to open with figmo. (I don't actually know that you've seen us perform, but you could have at a Worldcon.)

1. I'm a libertarian.
2. I'm an atheist.
3. I'm breast-obsessed.

[cellio]

Ok, this has the potential to make for embarrassing wrong guesses, but... nsingman?

1. My SO has a TV habit that makes me batty.
2. Moleskin has been my friend this week.
3. We've mentioned meeting at Pennsic, but it won't be this year.

[cellio]

alienor? (#2 eludes me, but I'm fairly confident of the other two clues.)

This will be a tough one

[(Anonymous)]

1. I'm not on your friends list, but I'm a friend of a friend
2. I live up north
3. I probably see you no more than once a year.

Re: This will be a tough one

[cellio]

You're right; this one is tough.

Seeing me no more than once a year probably means you're talking about Pennsic, though there's an outside chance you're one of my in-laws from Toronto (but if so, this is my first hint that you've heard of LJ). If we assume Pennsic, "up north" describes way too many people in (at least) Carolingia and Ealdormere.

How about another clue?

[(Anonymous)]

1. I wasn't born Jewish.
2. I have a child.
3. I live far away from you.

1. I live a very long way away.
2. Not on your friends list either but live with someone who is and on their friends list.
3. I can't type so someone else is typing this for me.

[cellio]

Oh that's easy (thanks to #3) -- you have to be fluffymonster, vonstrassburg's cat. :-)

1) At the age of ten, I spent most of the summer studying with an artist and keeping an eye on her 2yo. Mostly I worked on pencil sketching, but she also introduced me to a basic gothic hand, which was my intro to calligraphy. Subsequently attending a technical school, I studied draftsmanship in the original sense, including how to hand ink technical drawings, which is how it was done before laser printers.

2) As a child, I had a speech impediment (or so it was diagnosed). My parents were advised that I would grow out of it so long as I was not made self-conscious about it. For that reason (I later learned) they did not let me take singing lessons which I dearly wanted.

3) My father was a semi-pro photographer; he gave me a Canon 35mm when I was 9 or 10 (this is back in the days when kids didn't get technical toys like that), and he would bring me along on nature shoots.

[cellio]

Wow, that's hard.

The only two people on my friends list who have ever mentioned a past speech impediment are, I think, too young for clue #1, so I'm going to take a shot in the dark here.

(I wrote that, and then spent ten minutes browsing my friends list and coming up empty.)

May I have another clue?

[(Anonymous)]

OK so that last one was quite hard too so let me give you one more.

1. I typed that last one, and I'm on your friends list.
2. Jewish, SCA, Pennsic Barn, but not D&D.
3. I don't live in Israel.

[(Anonymous)]

OK so someone else got in between. For "that last one" read the one previous that starts "I live a very long way away.".

According both to the Hebrew and the Greek writings, I am an abomination. This has given me a mild distrust of organized religion.

I have a wide range of interests, and this tends to give headaches to people who have a compulsion for pigeonholing.

The last I checked, we are not on each other's friends-lists, yet we pop occasionally to comment the other, via the friends-views of common friends.

1 I'm baking cookies as I write this comment.
2 Before meeting you, I had no idea what a hammer-dulcimer looked like; I'm pretty sure that I found that out at our first meeting.
3 On average, I ride the bus twenty times per fortnight.

[cellio]

dvarin? (And if so, do I get a cookie? :-) )

[(Anonymous)]

1. I live on the other side of the Mason-Dixon line.
2. I have a bad habit of posting in LJ in non-English languages.
3. I wasn't born Jewish.

[cellio]

Sounds like ichur72. And I'll admit that I'm hopeless on the language thing; I haven't been able to identify the language(s?) in those posts, let alone comprehend what you're saying.

[(Anonymous)]

1. Most rescently talked to you in person about a month ago
2. Part of the barn crowd
3. Into gaming as a hobby too, but not role-playing games

[cellio]

Hmm. I see a few possibilities depending on how liberally one interprets "about a month" nad "barn crowd", but I'll guess lyev.

[(Anonymous)]

1. I live in the same state as you, but a different kingdom.
2. We've never met (and I'm not on your LJ friends list).
3. I have some of you old mail in my basement.

[(Anonymous)]

3.5 I tend to write "you" when I mean to write "your".
