Title: The False Facts Game
Post by: landbeforetimelover on June 16, 2007, 01:02:24 PM
I was thinking that in order to get to know othere members better, we could play this game.  Who says aquiring knowledge has to be work?  Okay.  Here's how it works:

First, you list 5 facts about you; 4 of them true and 1 of them false

next, the other person tries to guess which fact about you is false.  If they get it right, they post 5 more facts and the cycle continues.  If they get it wrong, another member can guess the false fact.  Sound easy enough?

Okay, I'll go first.

1) I love kiwi
2) I repair computers constanly
3) My mom knows I like LBT
4) I don't have any friends I've met
5) My favorite LBT character is Littlefoot




One of these facts about me is false.  Can anyone guess which one?

Petrie is correct.  I am an admin on only one forum.

Malte, your thinking is very well-done.  Unfortunately the band has basically fallen through and that forum no longer exists.  Therefore, I am only a mod/admin on a single forum: this one.

Ok, my five:

1.) I have a certification to teach history for middle and high school students.
2.) I have bowled a 300 game (that would be the highest possible score).
3.) I have watched all three seasons of the Nelvana animated tv series of Redwall.
4.) I'm a walking advertisement for Sennheiser headphones.
5.) I once had to go for surgery on my arm a long time ago when I used to play soccer very frequently.

Nope.  I hold a NY certification to teach history at the secondary level.   That is true.

There's our winner!  B)  What makes the statement false is where I had to have surgery...I actually had to have surgery on my eye because I lost vision in it and it happened during soccer.

Oh no it didn't hurt....I was just practically blind for a few days until we could get the retina fixed....I've only got about 20/60 in that eye with glasses even.  I'd say that's good because they didn't even think I would have any eyesight out of it.  Just a bit of warning--try to turn your face away when the soccer ball is heading right to it.  :P:

Ahhh....its not #5!!! :p  I did indeed spend $50 to buy the Myuutsu no Tanjou double cd soundtrack on Amazon.  Its an import from Japan and somewhat rare, hence the high price.

I think everyone can figure out which one is false....I have been to Walt Disney World two times...1999 and 2003, so I've really been itching to go back again, but have been there. ;)

Post by: Littlefoot1616 on June 23, 2007, 07:23:34 AM
Well...between the lot of you you guessed all 5 statements...but the winner is...



PETRIE!

#3 was false but not for the reason you gave surprisingly. Although I was young around the UK release of LBT, it wasn't that reason why I never got to see LBT on the big screen. It was actually because a former family friend actually managed to get a (let's say "a law dodged copy") of the movie...of course at that age I had no idea about piracy laws so I just accepted it as a gift.

As for the other statements

#2...me, my father, my grandfather and my great-grandfather (as far as I remember) are all the first born males of that side of the family and we all share the middle name "Lloyd"

#4 Sonic was (and still is) one of my fav VG heroes...Despite the average life expectancy of a hedgehog in England is about 2yrs coz they haven't learned how to cross the road properly yet

#5 Petrie called it (I knew he would ;) ) I have met 2 of the member here in person. Threehorn (on numerous occasions) and Malte (he came to see me and I'm yet to return the favour. Soon Malte...very soon! ;)

OK Petrie...your turn matey! :D

Afraid not...that was another big time reading splurge of mine from way back...and Silverwing is a bat and a protaganist in the story franchise by Kenneth Oppel.

Number 4 would be right.  If anyone's read the collection thread, you'll see I do like Ranger Rick, however, I do not like the new style of the magazine and my collection only includes issues from the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s.

I have been wanting to join this one for a while and since nobody has posted in over a month, I'll post some facts.

1. My favorite TV show is Walker: Texas Ranger.
2. I personally know another member on the GoF.
3. The Iguanodon is my favorite dinosaur.
4. I know how to read the altimeter in a Cessna 182S and a Cessna 172.
5. My favorite animal is a moose.

Lain_Ex got it!  The false fact is number 5.  My favorite animal is and always has been the American bison, not the moose.  The moose is my second favorite.

1 is true because I watch Walker: Texas Ranger every single day and it is my favorite show on TV!.
2 is true because I really do know another member on the GoF personally.  General Grievous lives just a few houses over from mine and we use to go to the same school till last year..
3 is ture.  The Iguanodon is my favorite dinosaur.

4 is ture because I play Flight Simulator a lot and can probably nake every gauge in the Cessna cockpit and know most of their functions.  The altimeter looks like a clock with 2 hands.  THe long one indicates hundreds of feet and the short shows thousands.  If the long hand is on 2 and the short hand is on 1, the plane is at 1,200 feet.

Your turn, Lain. :^.^:

3.) I played the tuba and then later the sousaphone in my high school band.
4.) I have a brother who is 7 years older than me.

Okay.  I'll answer in the order they were chose.

I honestly don't own a single LBT movie on DVD.  >.<  The only one I've really seen from beginning to end is the first one.  heh.  And have it on VHS around here somewhere...But I've not a single one on DVD.  :(

I really did play the tuba in my high school band.  I still have the mouthpiece!  And when I started Marching band, they upgraded me to the sousaphone, since it's just a tuba that wraps around the body.  So much easier to carry around that way.

I got the JP boxed set of the first two moves before the third one came out.  Naturally, when the third one DID release, I had to go get it.  So I DO have all three movies, just only 2 in a boxed set.  :p

It's #4 that's false.  I DO have a sibling who is 7 years my senior, but it's a sister, not a brother.  I don't have a brother at all.

I spoiled your fun too quickly :p

Now let's see.

1. I have two degrees.
2. I have been to the US twice.
3. I will be attending a Flat Earth conference in August.
4. To prevent the notes my friends and I would pass to each other in Elementary school from being intercepted, I created a couple of ciphers so that we could encode our notes.
5. I own three musical instruments.

I know I mostly talk about physics but I do indeed have two degrees. At first I was taking Computing Science but after the 3rd year I felt like I didn't really enjoy it too much so I switched my degree to a Computing Science major with a Physics minor. After that I took another 2 years and got my 2nd degree with a specialization in Physics.

That is also true. while I don't play much anymore I played violin all throughout primary school. The other two are a bass guitar, which I covered for a band member in my friend's band back in high school (other then that I haven't played it too much). The last one is a Casio keyboard that was given to me for my 12th birthday since I loved screwing around with a tiny 2 octave keyboard. It's not a full sized keyboard as I believe it's missing an octave on either side from a regular piano but with the amount that I use it it does the job.

Yeah that's right I did mention it some time ago that I've only been to America once for the solar eclipse, which of course was amazing. (I'll just shamelessly post the picture again :p )

I’d definitely recommend going to Colorado. It’s pretty awesome. New Mexico and Arizona are great too and I hear Utah is out of this world.

Ok let’s see:

1. I started a forum where Petrie was the first person to join
2. I had never been to Colorado prior to starting college there
3. I was homeschooled throughout my K-12 education
4. I’ve never been outside the United States
5. I initially bonded with my best friend in college over our mutual love of LBT

Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 25, 2019, 09:39:17 PM
1) Work is just a necessary part of life, but I wish there was more free time. We already spend one third of our lives sleeping, so I would appreciate it. :(
2) 2 AP Classes in Sophomore Year, but yet this is my first year taking any AP Classes at all! I probably would've already taken one in Freshman Year if they allowed that, but they didn't. So...much...work! One AP class specifically, the other one is not bad at all compared to it. But when combined with all my other classes, well it becomes so much more. I was struggling to juggle with my work at first, which causes sleepless nights, then it causes me to nap for 2-3 hours in the afternoon, and the cycle repeats. But I think I finally caught up starting today. :yes
3) False.
4) True.
5) I used to like a lot of them, but I have accumulated a growing dislike for fast food, starting with McDonalds a pretty long time ago, when I suddenly started to hate their Chicken Nuggets. Today, I would still go to Wendy's and maybe Burger King, but that's about it.

Too easy.

Your turn, StardustSoldier. :)
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: StardustSoldier on September 25, 2019, 10:36:13 PM
Well they were good choices, and I was stumped for a bit. I ultimately went with #3 just because I couldn't recall you mentioning having been employed before, and the things you'd told me about your summer and then starting your new semester seemed to indicate to me that there was no job on the side. I had a feeling that, if you did have a job, it would've come up in one of our previous conversations.

Also, I'm happy you found this thread. This is a fantastic idea for a game.

Anyway, here's mine:

1) Since Grade 8, I have worked on my fiction writing at least a little bit for almost every day of my life.
2) Earlier in the year, I was considering writing fanfic novelizations of each of the fourteen LBT films.
3) Eight is my favourite number.
4) Rabbits are my second favourite animal.
5) I have a small but visible scar on my left wrist.
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 25, 2019, 11:31:22 PM
Um...through process of elimination, 1) and 2) are the remaining choices for me. Hmm... maybe 5) too, but not likely I think.

Alright, I choose #2?

I would think #1 is true as you want to be a writer anyway so perhaps you were dedicated, and for #2, I don’t think I recall you saying something like that on the forum.

I’m more stumped then you were for my facts, honestly. Two choices that seem so likely, but only one is the correct choice.

Wow, I’m hoping the answer is not what I least expect...:o
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: StardustSoldier on September 25, 2019, 11:45:00 PM
You are correct! Well done! Mo congratulates you for your success.
:Mo

Although it's not that far off from the truth. I've been writing almost every day of my life since 2009, a couple years after I graduated from high school. I was still passionate about writing before that, but 2009 was when I began to get really serious about it. I can remember various stories of mine I started working on as early as elementary school, but it was a more irregular thing back then.

That was fun. Your turn now. :)


Edit: Which choice was it that you were least expecting to be false?

Edit II: A few years ago, I played the False Facts Game with my writer's group, with three true options and one false. I used the same options with the group that I used here for choices #1, #3, and #4 (and another choice that was completely different). The interesting thing is that, of a group of around twelve people, nearly all of them thought it was either the "rabbit" or the "number eight" option that was incorrect. Only one person correctly guessed "Writing since Grade 8". I even ran those choices by my own mother, of all people, and she guessed it wrong twice. So apparently you know me better than my mom does. :P
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 26, 2019, 10:05:22 PM
Ha-ha-ha! :Mo

*cough*

I mean, wow! Those are actually some pretty fun facts that you have presented there. Thank you for the shocking relevation. The choice I was least expecting to be false was actually the “Number 8” favorite number, followed by the rabbit being the second favorite animal. First of all, those options seem too specific to be false, and secondly you have the “Grade 8” fact listed here as well, so it would be stupid to say that 8 being your favorite number is false in my opinion. So, with the process of elimination, I come down to the two most likely choices and I choose either accordingly. I actually would’ve gotten it right the first time if I didn’t second guess myself! Ugh...for some reason I sometimes do it despite the fact that it backfires 99% of the time. Tests, quizzes is where I do it pretty often with not so good results. Why can’t I stop? I don’t know, it’s one of those impulses that I have a very hard time controlling I guess. I think the people that you asked for the False Facts game thought that those two choices were incorrect for the same reasons that I thought they were true, or perhaps since they knew you were a guy who writes for a living, they pushed out 1) and 2) as possible answers. What they didn’t realize however, that the answers are also pretty unrealistic at the same time. Like, who would actually work on their writing almost everyday since Grade 8, let alone make fanfic novelizations of 14 LBT movies (which turned out to be true, but still.) So, uh yeah that’s the full story, And thanks for the indirect compliment on the last sentence. :lol

Here we go. Let the facts commence! :)

1) I stubbed my toe on a sharp corner.
2) I BS’d my way through a quiz and passed.
3) I dented my teeth on the floor at one point.
4) I went to the Principal’s Office one time.
5) I shared a pink room with my sister in the past.

Eh, as someone who's an avid writer, I don't think either of those are unrealistic. Maybe not what the average person would do, but it's like with any hobby. If you're passionate about it, you spend a lot of time with it. As an example, I used to play video games almost every day of my life. I know that Ducky123 was also planning to novelize all the LBT films, which would've been interesting to see.

But anyway, since Sneak picked #2, I'll guess #3.

Well stubbing a toe on a sharp corner seems like something that would've happened to everyone at some point or another... but I have a feeling that #5 is true, so I'll guess #1.
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 27, 2019, 09:31:37 PM
@StardustSoldier: I can tell that you were contemplating this decision for awhile, but unfortunately you were wrong.

1) It happened many times in the past, particularly on the corner of a heater in my bathroom. Ugh, I hate that! x(cera
2) I don't know how...but I got a 90 on a quiz without reading any of the two stories I was supposed to. Honestly, I had so much other work to tend to, and since the reading of the stories didn't seem that important at the moment, I pushed it to the back of my priority list. It should've backfired on me, but surprising it didn't.
3) In elementary school, as many of my adult teeth was growing in, I accidentally tripped and I literally hit one of my front teeth on the ground. Yikes! The pain resonated for awhile, and when I looked in the mirror as I came home from school, I can see an obvious bent teeth at the area where it was hit.
4) Um...yeah. It may be a surprise to you, but I did go the Principals Office...in 2nd grade. Did I also mention to you that I didn't really take school seriously until 6th grade, a.k.a first year of middle school? Even so, you were probably shocked at this relevation. Let's just say that I did something I wasn't supposed to in the bathroom... :o
5) If I changed one keyword in this false statement, it would've became true. I did share a pink room with someone in the past...my brother that is. In the present, and for years now, I now dwell in the same pink room all on my own.

Yes, I chose these facts in order to make it a challenging guessing game for you. They seem so ridiculous that one of them had to be false, right? 2), 3), and 4) are good examples of that. 1) was the "obvious" fact, but 5) seemed a bit too personal to be false, right? Did you second guess yourself like I did previously? Are my observations about your thinking correct? Let me know! :)

Despite the fact that you lost, I'll hand the turn over to you.
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: StardustSoldier on September 27, 2019, 10:22:50 PM
What threw me off is that all five of your options seemed quite plausible, even #2 and #4. Of all of them, however, #3 seemed the least likely, hence it was my first guess. Once it was down to just #1 & #5, I was actually going to guess #5, as I thought to myself, "There's no way #1 could be false." But then, yeah, there was something about #5 that seemed a bit too personal to be false, and I began to wonder if #1 was some sort of trick answer somehow. I shouldn't have second-guessed myself. :p Although now that I think about it, it seems like an unlikely answer because opposite sex-siblings rarely share bedrooms. Not that I think there's anything wrong with it, but I can't recall any examples of it myself.

Anyway:

1) I own three DVD copies of the first Land Before Time film.
2) I once paid $300 for a Star Wars comic.
3) My family once had a St. Bernard named Moxie, back when my mother and father were still married.
4) I considered pursuing video game development at one point in my life.
5) I used to be abusive to my younger brother.
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 27, 2019, 10:39:49 PM
^Haha, and it was in a pink bedroom as well! My sister actually used to own the room all by herself until she went to college.

I'm just going to wing it and guess Number 5. If this is a true fact, then that literally reinforces my assertion that you're a bad influence, just sayin'.
:PAli
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: StardustSoldier on September 27, 2019, 10:49:28 PM
If your sister was the original owner, then that makes a lot of sense why it was a pink room. I don't think there's anything wrong with guys being into pink at all, but again, it seems an unlikely colour for a boys' bedroom.

I'm flattered that #5 was your first guess for the false fact... but alas, it is true. It's certainly something I'm not proud of, and there were still plenty of moments when my brother and I got along great. But I had serious anger issues as a kid and I lashed out frequently, and my brother bore the brunt of a lot of it. Thankfully I'm far more mellow than I used to be, and him and I have a much more stable friendship nowadays.
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 27, 2019, 10:58:38 PM
I never really cared enough to get my Dad to repaint the room. Besides, I kind of like it. :P

Alright, now more rationally speaking, I think #3 would be my next choice as you have never mentioned it on the forum (I think?) and the other three choices seemed like something you would most likely do or have. Sorry if you did mention it, and if so, then I just have bad memory. :p

Edit: Ugh, it does seem too specific to be false though...
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: StardustSoldier on September 27, 2019, 11:11:33 PM
Well as it happens, you are correct. My family has owned various cats and dogs over the years, but never a St. Bernard, nor have any of our pets ever been named Moxie. Although I used to absolutely adore St. Bernards as a kid and I wanted our family to get one. And I've always thought Moxie is a great pet name. :DD

I came up with most of these facts yesterday. Although after I posted them, I had a feeling you'd figure out which was the false one fairly easily. I guess #1, #2, and #4 were all a bit too obviously true, but then again I thought you might find those tidbits interesting.

Anyway, you can go next. Or else @Sneak (or anyone else), let us know if you'd like to have a turn at some point.

#1?
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 29, 2019, 08:51:35 PM
Yep, yep, yep! :duckyhappy

1) False. Sore throats are still a pain though, as you try so hard to cough out whatever is irritating your throat and spitting out your mucus, only that it never seems to end.
2) Happened once when I was in Atlanta with my family to visit my other older brother that was in the military. We were at a fast food place (McDonalds) when it started happening. My dad massaged my head for a pretty long time while I screamed in so much pain for the ordeal. Luckily it went away eventually and no further action required.
3) Happened when I was still 5 years old I think, and I was crying painfully in my parent's room while my Mom was there to try to minimize the pain. I wanted Dad home so badly but he ended up coming home at the normal overtime hour anyway. It only subsided for good when I vomited so much in the sink. These experiences are things I will never forget.
4) Here's another one I won't forget. One day on Halloween when I was much younger, I was trick or treating with...well I don't remember who actually. But here's the mortifying twist: I tripped on a large tree branch I didn't notice (for some reason) and scraped my knee pretty badly on the sidewalk pavement. I cried obviously from that, and I had to be taken home for a huge bandage to cover that entire wound. All was better that evening as I happily played some sort of racing game on the Nintendo DS Lite. :)
5) Oops, accidentally jumped out of the top level of the bunk bed too quickly and ended up having my back hitting the solid barrier of the table that held my television. I didn't scream, cry out, or anything, but I just sat there not moving as I waited for the pain that resonated within my back to slowly go away. Nothing much with this event really.

Post by: StardustSoldier on September 30, 2019, 10:25:18 PM
1) That Star Wars comic I paid $300 for is the only Star Wars comic I have ever read or owned: As much of a Star Wars fan as I am, it's largely just the movies and TV shows that I'm into. I typically just read other things when it comes to books, and comics I'm not into much anyway. The reason I sought out this particular Star Wars comic is because it was adapted from some unfinished episodes of one of the TV shows.
2) I've joined four different book clubs, all of which I'm still a member: Three of them are quite recent, however; within this year alone. The other book club I've been with since 2017. It's a young adult-themed book club, and while I do enjoy YA, for a while it was the only thing I was reading and I wanted more variety, hence my decision to see what other book clubs were out there.
3) For my aforementioned LBT novelizations, I was going to write one novel each for most of the films, but a few of them were planned as two-part novels. Wisdom of Friends was going to be a three-parter: The LBT novelizations was an idea I had over the summer. Although I have other writing projects on the go and so this probably won't happen, at least not to the same capactiy. But I still have the document containing my revision notes, and I might share some of my ideas on the forum sometime just for fun.
4) I am a bigger fan of movies than of books: It seems like a contradiction that both this and #2 are true, but there you have it. Being a member of multiple book clubs and writing daily are indeed proof that I am passionate about reading and writing, but ultimately, I do like movies just a little bit more.
5) A few weeks ago I tried to get my brother to watch the Land Before Time series with me, but he wasn't interested: False. Although he knows I am an LBT fan. And if I'd asked him to watch with me, he probably wouldn't have been interested (as he isn't much of a movie/TV guy anyway), but never did I actually pitch the idea to him.

Your turn. :)

Pretty difficult this time I see.

Alright, my turn.

1) My brother introduced me to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic back in 2010.
2) The Land Before Time was my most recently discovered cartoon/kids show that I like.
3) The Animals of Farthingwood is what started my crusade or interest in cartoons of similar caliber.
4) The Watership Down movie gets a 7/10 rating from me.
5) I own both an Animals of Farthingwood and Watership Down book.

1) My brother introduced me to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic back in 2010. Honestly, I'm not really sure if I was introduced to it when Season 2 was out, or when it was still in Season 1, but as a rough estimate it's still technically true. Probably should of thought out this one better.

Post by: ImpracticalDino on October 03, 2019, 09:02:53 PM
Third times the charm, eh? ;)

1) My brother introduced me to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic back in 2010: It might seem surprising, but yes my brother was the one who introduced me to the show in the first place. I had no idea what he was thinking at the time, and I had no idea what I was thinking when I got hooked onto the show. He has actually lost interest of the show for years already, and I have only started losing interest pretty recently. But despite that, I would still reference the show often (as you may see on the forum.) And plus, I actually said to myself that I would watch the rest of the Season 9 episodes, the finale, and the epilogue before I would completely move on from the show, or supposedly I will. I have watched the other eight seasons in its entirety, so I wouldn't do the show justice in my opinion to leave it a bit empty handed.
2) The Land Before Time was my most recently discovered cartoon/kids show that I like: This one is false! I did discover an anime pretty shortly after that I enjoyed a lot for the first 13 or so episodes I viewed of it. It's called Kimba The White Lion, or Jungle Emperor Leo. I posted about it right here (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=3660.msg487492#msg487492)! :)
3) The Animals of Farthingwood is what started my crusade or interest in cartoons of similar caliber: Yep, yep, yep! That's the show that started it all. I only discovered it as recently as 2019 actually, and it led me to other shows such as Watership Down and such. I just happen to be attracted to kids shows that have a more darker/adult theme towards it. But as you can see with The Land Before Time, it isn't always the case (despite the fact that the first movie was pretty adult oriented.)
4) The Watership Down movie gets a 7/10 rating from me: This is true, although I never did a written review of it, I only voiced my rating verbally.
5) I own both an Animals of Farthingwood and Watership Down book: This is true. I'm hoping to get the Watership Down book sequel in the future, plus the rest of the Farthingwood books as well. :DD

Your turn, StardustSoldier. :)

^I didn't suspect that of being the false choice at first, as I knew that you had discovered LBT quite recently. But then I started to wonder if you had in fact discovered something else that was more recent than LBT, and sure enough.

1) I had a couple short stories which were published in collections several years ago, but I was so ashamed of the stories that I let them fade into obscurity, and I otherwise (almost) never talk about them.
2) The Gang of Five is the first new forum I've joined and actively participated with in seven years.
3) In the first 22 years of my life, I lived in fourteen different homes.
4) I used to be a huge fan of the TV show LOST. For several years, I was a bigger LOST fan than I was a Star Wars fan.
5) I had a kidney stone last year and went to the hospital to have it treated.

Hmm, #4 seems likely to be true, for #3 I think you talked about moving a lot when you were younger (not sure though my memory is bad), plus it seems oddly specific. #1 and #5 is eh...so I’ll go with #2.

Do you want to/have time to explain out all of those facts plus the false one?
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: StardustSoldier on October 12, 2019, 10:36:57 PM
1) I had a couple short stories which were published in collections several years ago, but I was so ashamed of the stories that I let them fade into obscurity, and I otherwise (almost) never talk about them: The short stories in question were valuable learning experiences for polishing my craft. But they were also among my earliest pieces of fiction and I feel I've grown as a writer since then. The stories were also rushed, and by and large I just wasn't happy with how they turned out.
2) The Gang of Five is the first new forum I've joined and actively participated with in seven years: I've posted on the TV Tropes forum since 2012, albeit much more irregularly than my activity here. And TV Tropes isn't just a forum like this one is; it was mostly the wiki/editing side of the website where I was active. Aside from TV Tropes, though, this fact is true, as my last time being active on a 'pure' forum was back in 2010 and earlier.
3) In the first 22 years of my life, I lived in fourteen different homes: This would be quite a lengthy story if I went into detail about why I've moved around so much, although I can always elaborate further in my 'Ask Me' thread if you're curious.
4) I used to be a huge fan of the TV show LOST. For several years, I was a bigger LOST fan than I was a Star Wars fan: While I've ultimately been into Star Wars for far longer, there was a significant portion of time when I was a bigger fan of LOST than anything else. Although in more recent years I've outgrown the show, and Star Wars is back to being my biggest fandom right now.
5) I had a kidney stone last year and went to the hospital to have it treated: This is the one I wish was false. But yeah, it was late in the morning one day when this absolutely horrible pain started up in my stomach and wouldn't go away. At the time I didn't know what was going on with me, so I had a friend drive me to the hospital. I thought that maybe it was something wrong with my appendix and it would need to be surgically removed, as that happened to my mother once. Thankfully the pain was mostly gone by night, and the kidney stone was small enough that it came out on its own the next day. Still, not a pleasant experience.

Correct! This was a bit of an easier one. All the other facts I listed were something that I mentioned on this forum at least once before and/or it was a bit obvious to guess.

1) I frequent another forum besides the Gang of Five: Fiver's Honeycomb, a Watership Down forum I go onto from time to time. I actually have a profile on there if you want to check it out. Click me! (https://fhc.soopergrape.com/index.php?action=profile;u=309)
2) I really don't remember any of my past life before the age of 5: True. Nothing else to add really.
3) I don't ask for birthday or Christmas gifts almost all the time: Yep, yep, yep! It may seem surprising, but either I never really know what to get, or I just don't care.
4) I've been living in the house I reside in for less than 10 years now: False. I've been living in my house for more than 10 years actually. I don't know the exact amount however.
5) Listening to music is one of my favorite past times: Music is awesome, it really soothes the soul and mind of your body and converts me into a good mood. It can be catchy, relatable, depressing, the possibilities are endless.

Well as it happens, that's how I figured it out. :idea I was reading your facts and I was a bit stumped at first. But then I remembered once on your 'Ask' thread, I'd asked you what the longest duration of time you've ever lived in a single home is, and you said you'd lived in your current house around 12 years.

Likewise, I don't remember you stating #3 or #5 outright, but from what I know about you in general, they seemed plausible enough.

Anyway, I don't quite have my next set of questions ready yet, so if someone else wants to go in the meantime, they are welcome to. Otherwise, I'll post again when I have my questions ready.

1) I have never been in a serious romantic relationship.
2) I've had a nail-chewing habit since childhood that I was never able to break.
3) I used to take piano lessons, but I stopped after it gave me a wrist injury one day.
4) In all my life, I never learned how to handwrite. All my writing to this day is via printing.
5) I used to play Dungeons & Dragons a lot, but gave up on it after a series of bad experiences.

1) I have never been in a serious romantic relationship: Owls probably suspected this one was true, since him and I had a conversation about relationships recently. But yeah, I've been single all my life. There were girls back in school I had crushes on, but it never went anywhere beyond that. This isn't to say that I would "never" pursue a relationship, but for personal reasons I'm not actively seeking one right now.
2) I've had a nail-chewing habit since childhood that I was never able to break: I really wish I could break this habit, but so far no success. Maybe someday.
3) I used to take piano lessons, but I stopped after it gave me a wrist injury one day: While I did used to take piano lessons, never did I get a wrist injury from it, nor was it related to why I eventually stopped with the lessons. In fact, I don't think I've ever had a major wrist injury in my life.
4) In all my life, I never learned how to handwrite. All my writing to this day is via printing: I remember in my elementary school, they taught printing first, and then later on they taught handwriting. But my problem was that I'd already defaulted to printing, and I just never learned to switch over and/or to use both. Although I am considering trying to learn handwriting again sometime.
5) I used to play Dungeons & Dragons a lot, but gave up on it after a series of bad experiences: D&D was great in the beginning, but the people whom I played it with turned out to be incredibly toxic, and I had multiple failed attempts at finding a new group. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that D&D is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with anything in the past several years. But thankfully, I have since moved on and found better social arrangements for myself.

Your turn, whoever wants to go next. :)

I knew #1 & #4 from Discord, and admittedly I was worried about the wrist thing Stardust, and I actually thought #5 was false because you were eager to rp. But I'll give it a shot since I haven't done it before.

1) I have nearly drowned in three separate incidents in the past. Ducky, I am not... nope, nope, nope.
2) I have previously been an emcee for a large event held at an auditorium, with over 1000 people hearing my lovely (panicky) voice over the speaker system.
3) I can read and speak two different languages.
4) I have seen someone suffer from cardiac arrest right in front of me.

I remember our conversation related to #1, though I forgot I'd also mentioned #4 as well. But then again, that's probably what inspired me to use it for the game here.

@StardustSoldier: #4 was a bit shocking to me honestly. What kind of school does printing before handwriting!? I’ve never heard of that before!

Hmm...#4?
Title: Re: The False Facts Game
Post by: StardustSoldier on November 13, 2019, 04:27:05 AM
Oh, no, they didn't teach us to write on a computer first. When I said "printing," I was referring to a style of writing by hand where the letters are not joined. Like so:

Hmm. Well I was going to guess #4 next, but Impractical already got it, and I know #3 is true because Owls and I have talked about languages before, so I'll pick #2.

Oh, no, they didn't teach us to write on a computer first. When I said "printing," I was referring to a style of writing by hand where the letters are not joined.
So, non-cursive writing then? I wish I could be non-cursive at times.

1) I have nearly drowned in three separate incidents in the past. Ducky, I am not... nope, nope, nope: Yep, yep, yep! I got incredibly lucky as there were three times where I would have drowned without outside assistance. Twice in the deep pool (1.2m depth pool when I was really young, and the standard deep pool in a separate incident when I was older), and once I ventured off coast too far and the tide almost took me out to sea. And this is why I can't swim to this date! I don't wish to tempt fate a fourth time... 4 is unlucky, after all.
2) I have previously been an emcee for a large event held at an auditorium, with over 1000 people hearing my lovely (panicky) voice over the speaker system: This was almost true. I did play the part of emcee, but only for the rehearsals: professional emcees took over the role on the actual day itself. What's funny about this is that it was a two-day event, so for the second day I actually was the emcee... but the attendance rate dropped to about ~100 only as it wasn't as large-scale. Oh, and my voice wasn't panicky. :)petrie
3) I can read and speak two different languages: Yep, English and Chinese. How fluent I am with the latter is up for debate, though. I'm definitely rusty in it.
4) I have seen someone suffer from cardiac arrest right in front of me: I wish this was false. While working as a cashier, an elderly man collapsed in front of my counter, and let me tell you, nothing prepares you for the real thing. My CPR accreditation expired so I didn't dare try resuscitation, and then a passerby screamed at me to call the ambulance, only for me to hang up because my superior already called ES... and then ES called my mobile back because you don't hang up on an emergency hotline. They eventually came and took him away. Nerve-wracking 15 mins. Yeah, I was not proud of my performance that day.
5) I have thrown a live grenade before: As unbelievable as this sounds, this is true! It was part of my basic military training when I was conscripted.

So looks like it's back to you, Stardust. :duckyhappy

Yeah, that's the term I was looking for. In hindsight, I probably could've worded that fact a little better.

I actually knew you'd been in the military, and yet I still think I might've guessed #5 to be false. Interesting. Well thanks for sharing these with us.

I had the previous round, so I'll let Impractical go next if he wants. (Edit: Or do we want to go by the original rules where whoever guesses the false fact right goes next?)

Ooh, I get it now. I had a slight suspicion that you meant something else the first time around, but I didn’t really have a clue what else it could be, so I went with what I thought.

So, handwriting as in cursive writing? So basically, I never learned to handwrite apparently. :lol
I mean, in third grade we kinda learned as well, just that I thought it wasn’t worth learning.

You are correct first try.

1) I failed 10th grade English: Procrastination and not really bothering to do the work the latter part of the year, especially at the start of the pandemic. And plus I just don't like English in general as a subject. :P
I was also only 2 points away from passing, so rip me.
2) "You'll Play Your Part" is my favorite MLP: FiM song: Hands down the best MLP song in the show. And the harmonies of the princesses closer to the end is so melodious. <3
3) My favorite mobile game is Bloons TD 6: My favorite mobile game is Bloons TD Battles actually. But dang, nice guess.
4) I had 3 siblings in total: 2 older brothers and 1 older sister, whom unfortunately perished in August last year. She was 26 years old at the time of death.
5) I adore predator/prey friendship stories: Yep, yep, yep! You just can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside to witness species that usually don't get along as the bestest of friends! It's just so adorable and awesome.

1) I failed 10th grade English: Procrastination and not really bothering to do the work the latter part of the year, especially at the start of the pandemic. And plus I just don't like English in general as a subject. :P
I was also only 2 points away from passing, so rip me.
2) "You'll Play Your Part" is my favorite MLP: FiM song: Hands down the best MLP song in the show. And the harmonies of the princesses closer to the end is so melodious. <3
3) My favorite mobile game is Bloons TD 6: My favorite mobile game is Bloons TD Battles actually. But dang, nice guess.
4) I had 3 siblings in total: 2 older brothers and 1 older sister, whom unfortunately perished in August last year. She was 26 years old at the time of death.
5) I adore predator/prey friendship stories: Yep, yep, yep! You just can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside to witness species that usually don't get along as the bestest of friends! It's just so adorable and awesome.

Haha, ironically considering that I already knew a couple of these (#4 & #5), if I'd guessed first I would've gotten it wrong, whereas Sneak gets it on his first try. :D I was going to guess #1 was false; I knew you weren't a big fan of English, but I had no idea that you actually failed the course. Wait, so you were still able to enter into Grade 11 this year? Will you have to retake Grade 10 English at some point?

Also, I totally thought #3 was one of the true ones, since I remember playing Bloons with you earlier this year, but I guess I was getting the titles of the different Bloons games mixed up.
:ChomperOhhh

Anyway, I shall go next:

1) I have considered giving up fiction writing altogether on multiple occasions this year.
2) Despite being an avid cat lover, I am averse to the idea of having a pet cat of my own.
3) I used to live with a child molester.
4) As of about a couple months ago, I've grown tired of my username and wished I could change it.
5) Foobie nearly made it onto my list (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=1954.msg520268#msg520268) of top 10 favourite LBT characters.

Feels tough, but I've already eliminated 3 from the list which I'm certain is true.

#3?

#4 is definitely false then, calling it. :cerasmug

Correct.

1) I have considered giving up fiction writing altogether on multiple occasions this year: Each time I pulled myself out of it, and ultimately I'm still not ready to give up (yet). But yeah, this year has been rough on my creative energy levels for sure. You've seen me rant about this one before.
2) Despite being an avid cat lover, I am averse to the idea of having a pet cat of my own: After my last cat passed away, I've had several people ask me if I was going to get another one, but I'm just not feeling it any more. I loved Billy and I'm grateful I had him in my life for the time that I did, but losing him was rough and it soured me on the idea of being a pet owner again. Plus, even at the time, there were other things about having to care for him that were a burden to me. I miss Billy, but I don't miss being a cat owner, if that makes any sense.
3) I used to live with a child molester: I was (thankfully!) not one of his victims. It was back when I was around 19-20. After I moved out of my parents' house, but before I moved into the apartment that I currently live in, I lived in the basement suite of this schoolteacher's house for about a year and a half. And he was a totally nice guy too. It wasn't until a few years after I'd moved out of his place that my mother discovered a newspaper article about him, which revealed that he'd been exposed and subsequently sent to prison. To say that I was shocked upon learning this would be an understatement. The whole thing still feels surreal to this day. Definitely one of those truth is stranger than fiction things.
4) As of about a couple months ago, I've grown tired of my username and wished I could change it: Completely false. I've always been content with my current handle. :P While I have recently started going by "Ember" on Legion of Ducky, it was never meant to replace StardustSoldier or anything.
5) Foobie nearly made it onto my list of top 10 favourite LBT characters: An unpopular character choice for a lot of people, which is part of why I thought it might make an interesting item on my list. But I always found him kinda interesting, even despite my at-the-time lukewarm feelings about LBT 13 as a whole. But I ultimately decided I didn't like Foobie that much, at least not compared to the other characters that I did go with.

I figured you'd know that #1 was true, but how were you so certain about #2 and #5? I don't recall mentioning those to you before.

Lol, simple inference and process of elimination! :cerahappy

But more specifically, I think you might've mentioned #2 to me at some point. My memory is very foggy on that but I am kinda certain you did.
:thinking

And for #5 I knew that you liked Foobie, but I also thought it might've been a stretch to say that it was a true fact...but then again the possibility was still there which is why I didn't think it was a false fact yet.

I don't have any facts right now at the moment, but hopefully I'll come back with some soon.
