Woot! 24,000! This is the 24th such post I have made in these forums. Yeah, I know most people stop with the ding posts by now. But I didn't! Tradition is important!

Flea’s thread got me thinking. There are things I don’t know about people posting now that curiosity compels me to ask about. And this seems as good a place as any to do said asking!

1. What foreign countries have you visited / lived in / vacationed in / invaded?

2. 20 years from now, of everything you have seen and read here, what is the one thing you will remember from your time here, and why?

3. Time to play favorites. Who would you pick as your favorite Admin, past present and future? (Someone who no longer works here, current crop, and someone you think would make a good deputy junior admin of doom. )

4. If you could change one thing about Asylum, what would you change?

5. Someone hands you $100,000, tax free and tells you that you have 1 week to spend it. What would you do with it?


Race you to 48k! (except Jophiel! #$%^& degenerate spammer!)

That's entirely too much information you're asking for. Can I interest you in something less interesting?

I'll get back to you once this headache has died down.

Eh, what the hell. Short version:

1. got flown over to America for a spouse visit while my partner was co-opted by his multinational to help pull their chestnuts out of the fire. Laguna Beach is one of the nicest towns on Earth, and there's an outdoor mall in southern Los Angeles that is toooooooo cyute. I wanted to bring home a little enclosed glass-egg biosphere, but I was worried the shrimp would die from travel jostle.

2. Kechup's meltdown. It was the thread I started to really remember some of the other poster's names in, since they were so wickedly funny.

3. I swear this is not a major suckup. It's got to be you, Kaolian. You're the one that by far I see the most posts of, and your humour really sets me off. Your politics aren't always my cup of tea, but damn you make me laugh so often. I couldn't marry you, but I'd love you as my best friend-that-is-a-boy.

4. More posters plskthx!

5. Invest it in a judiciously spread risk-return trust fund. If keeping it as an asset for myself is outside of the game rules... I'd turn a chunk of it into a voucher with my favourite book store, then donate the rest to my old and brilliant university course.

1. What foreign countries have you visited / lived in / vacationed in / invaded? Visited/invaded a fair few, wouldn't say I've lived in any. Costa Rica and Belize are my favorites, I think.

2. 20 years from now, of everything you have seen and read here, what is the one thing you will remember from your time here, and why? The fun, I hope! Some of you all really make me laugh.

3. Time to play favorites. Who would you pick as your favorite Admin, past present and future? (Someone who no longer works here, current crop, and someone you think would make a good deputy junior admin of doom. ) Alla, or if he's not eligible Dana. You, DF and Pikko would be a three-way tie. Future.... lawks, I have no ideer.

4. If you could change one thing about Asylum, what would you change? A greater variety in poster points of view.

5. Someone hands you $100,000, tax free and tells you that you have 1 week to spend it. What would you do with it? Mega. Shopping. Spree. Dude, I'd have a super computer.

2. 20 years from now, of everything you have seen and read here, what is the one thing you will remember from your time here, and why? If I remain drunk enough, hopefully nothing! Keeps me from spilling dirty secrets I would have acquired over the 20 year span.

3. Time to play favorites. Who would you pick as your favorite Admin, past present and future? (Someone who no longer works here, current crop, and someone you think would make a good deputy junior admin of doom. ) Unfortunatly I have not been around long enough to pick past, though I feel all of you have done a stupendous job currently. Future: I have no bloody idea.

4. If you could change one thing about Asylum, what would you change? A bit more of a welcome to the new persons who post, unless they end up like Thief or Varus, then they can be perma sub-def.

5. Someone hands you $100,000, tax free and tells you that you have 1 week to spend it. What would you do with it? Buy a piece of land here in Alaska. After I purchased the most bleeding edge computer they have, only to have it be outdated the minute it reaches my hot little hands (/cry).

None, but I plan on harassing all of Europe when I can afford it.

Hopefully something to come, since I haven't been around very long. That one gay marriage thread was pretty epic, though.

3. Time to play favorites. Who would you pick as your favorite Admin, past present and future? (Someone who no longer works here, current crop, and someone you think would make a good deputy junior admin of doom. )
I don't know the admins very well :(
I guess my favorite current admin is Pikko, because once upon a time I got a free premium month. As for the future, I'd say gbaji because I'm curious what he'd do with that power/authority.

4. If you could change one thing about Asylum, what would you change?
Needs more posters :/

5. Someone hands you $100,000, tax free and tells you that you have 1 week to spend it. What would you do with it?
pay off my parent's house, then spend the rest on a new car, computer, phone, and clothes. If I could have it for more than a week I'd squirrel some away for med school, though.

1)Mexico. Visited both Juarez(you couldn't get me to go there right now for the money in Q5) and a small village whose name I don't recall.

2)That's an interesting thing to consider. I'd imagine that if I remember anything, it'll be the moment I found out about Kyrin's passing.

3)I can't say I really have a favorite. I'm not the kind of person who chooses favorites among people like that. I really only tend to make relative value judgments when I dislike someone.

4)I'd improve the feng shui by putting a fish tank by the door. Then I'd stuff Thiefx into it.

5)I have student loans to pay. After those, my GF's credit cards, a new car/comp/bed, and then the rest on gift cards for clothes as an incentive to kick up the weight loss, which would mean I'd have enough to get some serious cosplay stuff.

1. France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain.

2. Everything, of course.

3. Danalog seemed pretty cool, Usagi probably makes me laugh the most out of current admins, and the best junior admin is gbaji, 'cause he makes sure we discuss the right topic in the right thread.

4. I would add some more posters - a couple of intelligent conservatives, maybe a smart yet overly earnest trotskyist.

You and Danalog were always there for me, so I'd have to say you. I love Pikko and DF, but have never really experienced them as Admins. Angsty is new to me, so I reserve judgement. The rest of these punks I don't know, so fuck 'em.

4. If you could change one thing about Asylum, what would you change?
I'm doing it. I'm open to all new posters, and will withhold my rate-lightning so that people feel free to come in. I want some intelligent contributions that I can say "fuck" to. However, if you're an asshat and use the forum for OoT style inanity, I'll give the Nero thumb. I don't have anything against the posters themselves, just asshattery.

4. If you could change one thing about Asylum, what would you change?


just one thing? I guess I'd make it so that the OP of any thread is unrated related to the user posting it and instead is just rated default at the time of posting so that no new thread shows up under the filter. Any ratings related to an OP would be for the thread, not the poster. Even Varus posts the occasional thing that doesn't need to be auto-rated under the filter, but I don't really like rating him up to have it show.
