1. Do you consider yourself a "seasoned veteran" to The Oddworld Forums?...
--- If you’re not a "seasoned vet" to The Oddworld Forums, would you ever desire to become one?...
--- If yes, for the love of god why!?...


Yeah, I guess so. I've been here for a while, on and off.

2. Have you ever thought about The Oddworld Forums and given a deep weathered sigh while saying in a dreary voice "those were the days"?...

No

3. Have you ever had a dream where Oddworld Forums played some kind of role in it?...
--- If so did you dream of any specific member?...
--- If yes which member?...

No.

4. Have you ever cried while on and/or when thinking about The Oddworld Forums?...

No

5. Do you think you have a life?...
No... I mean yes... I mean. Damn! Stop asking trick questions.

6. Do you think you are a hypocrite?...
On occasion. I try not to be.

7. Do you believe you have some sort of "rival" or "mortal enemy" on The Oddworld Forums?...
--- If yes, what member?...
--- And do you think this person feels the same way towards you?...
There was a while when I had fights with Jacob just about every day, though I think I was more pissed off than he was. Then he grew up and I became less antsy so I can even agree with him at times on the Fat People Breeding thread.

8. Have you ever had a strange urge to get yourself banned from The Oddworld Forums just for a laugh?...
Not on the OWFs, no. There was this other forum where the total bitch-mod couldn't take a joke...

9. Would you ever willingly put yourself in a positioned to be banned?...
--- If no, what if it proved an important point?...
--- If still no, what if by doing it you got your "rival" banned as well?...

What point could be proved by getting banned? I'd much prefer to stay and make everyone else's lives that much more difficult within the rules.

10. If you ever met Alcar, SeaRex or Abe Babe would you....?
A. Punch them in the stomach and steal their lunch money..
B. Glomp them... (whatever the hell that means)..
C. Try and seduce them...
D. All of the above in no particular order...
E. You are Alcar, SeaRex or Abe Babe and you are seriously thinking about banning this Rexy fellow, along with everyone else that answered (A.)...
Alcar and myself have already discussed this and he agreed to choice C without hesitation.

11. If you suddenly became rich would you donate money to The Oddworld Forums?...
--- If yes how much would you donate?...
Yeah, maybe a bit to cover the costs of running the place.

12. Have you ever felt really close to another member although you have not met him/her in real life?...
--- If yes which member(s)?...

Can't think of anyone.

13. Have you ever fallen in love with another member?...
--- If yes which member(s)?...

Well there was the time I wrote:
:
Ambi, I love you.

If you were a guy and single and living in Oz I would totally... be too shy to ask you out. But I'd definately be thinking about it.
Strange, I seem to be quoting that a lot lately.

14. Have you ever fantasized about another member(s)?...
--- If yes which member(s)?...
--- Are you fantasizing about them right now?...

Yeah there was someone who posted an unusually attractive picture in the "What do you look like" thread but I don't remember who it was. Someone who is no longer with us, I think.

14. Who is your Best friend on The Oddworld Forums?...
meh

15. Have you ever had an incredibly strong urge to kill a fellow The Oddworld Forums member(s)?...
--- If so which member(s)?...

neh

16. If you knew you wouldn’t get banned would you act differently on The Oddworld Forums?...
--- If yes, what would you do?...

Nah.

17. Do you think you would ever want to, or have to the courage to tell Alcar, SeaRex or Abe Babe to f*ck off !?....
--- If no, what if you were dared too?....

Courage, yes. Desire, no.

18. Did you find the above question at all offensive?...
--- If yes, do you consider yourself to have a sense of humour at all?...

noh

19. Do you ever not post your true opinion for lack of courage?...
--- If yes, why?...

There have been times that I haven't posted my true opinion because I don't think it is particularly interesting. Does that count?

20. Who do you think is the most lecherous member on The Oddworld Forums?...
--- Regarding the above question did you have to look up the word "lecherous" to know what it meant?..

Hobo and no

21. Is your The Oddworld Forums persona...?
A. a complete and utter lie.....
B. pretty faithful to your real life persona...
C. A slick combination between A and B...
D. You don’t know what persona means...

Pretty faithful. If anything the internet filters out much (but not all) of my weirdness. I find it difficult to think about what I'm saying before I say it but at least here I can proofread before clicking Submit Reply.

22. If you could delete one post from your past, which would it be?.... (insert the link to the post here)....
Can't think of any off the top of my head. Maybe if I went way back to the first few months I was here... but I can't be bothered.

23. If you could select one post or thread as your crowning glory, which would it be?... (insert the link to the post here)
http://www.oddworldforums.net/showth...ht=merchandise
Perhaps not the best thread I've been involved in (seeing as most people thought my options were stupid) but it is certainly one I remember fondly.

24. What do you consider the best post someone else has made?.... (insert the link to post here)
meh. probably hobo pwning someone.

25. What do you consider the best thread someone else has made?... (insert the link to post here)
...too much thinking make brain go bye-bye

26. Does the way people perceive you on The Oddworld Forums matter to you?...
I suppose I want to be well liked and respected. But not to the point of actually doing anything about it.

26. Did you notice there were two questions with the number 14 and now two with the number 26?...
whatever... you're just making this more difficult for the both of us.

27. If you woke up one day and found yourself to be the most hated member on The Oddworld Forums would you..?
A. Kill yourself in a brutal fashion too black mail the more popular members..
B. Pretend you were actually the most admired member on The Oddworld Forums...
C. Be a complete Bastard to everyone until you got banned...
D. All of the above in no particular order...
E. You are the most hated Oddworld Forum member...

either C or F. Just stop coming by.

28. Do you actually think other members care about your opinions?...
--- Do you actually care about their opinions?....

Probably not.

29. Did you just lie to the above question?...
Probably not.

30. Have you ever purposely lied to "fit in" on The Oddworld Forums?...
--- Are you lying right now?...
--- Does it bother you that you are continually lying to your self even at this very moment?...

I'd have to lie to not fit in with this bunch of freaks.

31. Have you ever contemplated leaving The Oddworld Forums because of something someone said?...
--- If yes, which member and what did he/she say?..

No.

32. Have you ever posted a thread telling people that you are "leaving The Oddworld Forums for good" or that you have "just returned to The Oddworld Forums after leaving for good"?...
--- If so have you done it more than once?..

No.

33. Were you better off before you joined The Oddworld Forums?...
No. Probably a bit more ignorant about people in the rest of the world. More ignorant about OW and game design in general, certainly.

34. Do you swear a lot?...
--- Did you swear a lot before coming to The Oddworld Forums?..

**** no.

35. Are you constantly analysing things?...
--- Did you do this before you joined the Oddworld Forums?..

I think the phrase is 'over-analysing'. I've always done it and it has caused many friends and family members to consider homocide as an option.

36. Have you ever questioned your religion?...
--- Did you ever question it before coming to The Oddworld Forums?...

Yes. Why would a forum make any difference?

37. Have you ever-contemplated suicide?...
--- Did you ever contemplate it before The Oddworld Forums?..

Yes. Only really before I joined. I had an unbalanced adolescence.

38. Have you ever-contemplated murder?..
--- Did you ever contemplate it before The Oddworld Forums?...

nah

39. Were you better off before you joined The Oddworld Forums?...
Well people didn't used to ask me the same question repeatedly.

40. Do you strive to be different than everyone else when on The Oddworld Forums?..
Thankfully, being myself tends to make me different. At least in my perspective.

41. Do you strive to be well liked on The Oddworld Forums?...
See answer 26.

42. Do you strive to be funny on The Oddworld Forums?...
Yes. Which is why I don't post as much as I could.

43. Do you strive to be noticed on The Oddworld Forums?...
--- If yes why?....
--- If no, does it bother you that others do?......
(if yes to above see question 6)

Yes in that I don't want to be considered a non-poster again.
No if noticed means being objectionable, rude, having bad grammar, spelling and all the other things that people get noticed for.

44. Without cheating list as many The Oddworld Forums members’ names as you can think of....
blah.

45. Taking a look at your list do you think it’s as big as it should be?...
--- Does the first person you listed have any special significances to you?...
--- Would you get mad if another member left you out of their list?...
--- Why?..

crud

46. do you think this survey thing is stupid and a waste of time?..
maybe and probably.

47. Do you consider your self-intelligent?....
Intelligent enough to know the hyphen should be before the 'self' and not after. But yes, I would consider myself of above average intelligence, though not genius-worthy. I'd think my school scores would back me up on that.

48. In general what kind of posts do you like?...
A. funny, sarcasm, cynic criticism not directed in your direction...
B. dead serious, never straying from topic, possibly boring to everyone but you...
C. useless posts, no meaning whatsoever, the word "glomp" appears in every single sentence...
D. all of the above....
E. none of the above....
F. other_______________________....

A. even if it is directed at me. I can take a joke.
B. as long as the topic is moderately interesting and not about what you had for breakfast.
C. I was a major contributer to ClaireBear's spamarama thread.

49. In general, do you think you spend more time in Off-Topic Discussion than the Oddworld Forums?...
--- If yes, do you find that sad considering this is the "Oddworld Forums'?...

In the old days, no. Now, seeing as there is pretty much nothing interesting going on in GD, I spend more time here.

50. Do you often not post in threads that seem interesting to you just because the posts in the thread were too long to read?...
I'll skim it and see if it may be worth reading. Usually the answer is no.

51. Do you generally read certain threads just because a certain member posted it?...
--- If yes which member(s)?..

no

52. Do you generally ignore certain threads just because a certain member posted it?...
if yes which member(s)?..

I won't ignore a thread because of the creator but I do find a correlation between some members (no names) and the ones I end up ignoring anyway.

53. Do you currently or have you ever had a member in you’re ignore list?...
I didn't even know what it was until recently. What's the point, it just makes the forum disjointed, like deleting all of Dino's posts.

54. Have you ever met another member of The Oddworld Forums in real life that you did not know previously?...
--- If yes which member(s)?...
--- Do you find the fact that you actually met them freakishly weird?...

no, though I sometimes wonder if I'd met them and not known. That would be freaky.

55. If you could meet any member who would it be?...
Ambi probably. And Alcar, if he'll hold his promise

56. Have you gone on the Internet in the past month and not logged on to The Oddworld Forums?...
Yes, but rarely. Usually if I've already checked it that day or if I'm in a huge rush.

57. Do you think you are addicted to The Oddworld Forums?...
I've been away for stretches before without withdrawal symptoms.

58. After completing the survey .... how many questions did you not answer truthfully?...
Besides the ones I didn't answer at all?

59. Were you better off before you joined The Oddworld Forums?...
--- Did you realise that this is the third time I have asked this question?...

Yes I did and I can't think of anything witty to respond.

60. That's it all over. But are you glad this thing is over?...
--- Would you want to answer more questions?...

You didn't ask me to describe what I'm wearing. Jeans, light blue Camp Modin tee-shirt and *checks* tasmanian devil boxers.
