True lies (all done! +don't trust Darkblade+)

[MatthewV]

Can you lie about stuff you never did? Can you make stuff you did sound impossible? And can you guess when other people are bluffing? Can you write really boring introductions to a game?

How it works...
-send three statements about yourself to me (mnv@tankclan.net) that you think other people may not get ect. And please tell me if they are the truth or lies...
-after Sunday (uhhh a week from now) at 11:59 GL time I will post all the statements. You must identify if they are true or not.
-Scoring...You get one point everytime you guess someone's statement correctly. You also get a point everytime someone else guesses a statement of your incorrectly. You must answer every statement (except your own) Tiebreakers are all made by me...


my email: mnv@tankclan.net
please make your statements centered about yourself "I..."
please tell me if they are true or not
please tell me your name
suggestions are always welcome

example (probably the tiebreakers too )
I have seen exactly one Kodiak Brown Bear.
I have kissed a dolphin.
I have a 4.0 high school gpa.
I have three plants in my bedroom window. (no neo, they are not that type of plant. sorry.)
I am a vegetarian.
I perfer strawberry icecream to chocolate.

[dethwing]

The first one didn't have a number, now did it?

It's like saying Mega Man. If you mean Mega Man # you say the number. If you mean 1, you leave the number off.

Why give a number to the first in a series?

You blasphemer!

[Beartalon]

I gave myself the nickname BearTalon. I am physically like a bear - big and hairy, and often content to sit and eat sweets (honey?). I can be gruff at times, and when you get to know me, I'm very approachable
I also like the majesty of the eagle, looking down from his perch with keen eyesight, a loner, mates for life and is powerful, respected and endangered.

My best friend's birthday is the day before mine. Mine is on June 28th, his on June 27th. I thought more people would guess false, since except in a leap year, there is no "exactly-half-a-year" point since the year has an odd number of days. dethwing was the first to point this out by questioning "exactly?", but perhaps he meant time as well.

[dethwing]

Actualy, that didn't occur to me. I just thought it would be extremely improbable.

[CrystyB]

Umm, Matthew (no 'V'), i don't think too many of the participants actually agreed to that. By the contents, it is quite fresh, and i'm sure i'm not the only one who signed up quite a while ago.

Ow and btw the 'knowingly false' post was not made by any participant.

[Rambler]

Well done Darkblade
The Ktulu and Mackay.....well guessed.

1.....must be my charismatic personality.
2.....one of my many talents.
3.....trained under one who made church windows, but never stuck with it long enough.

Yes, I did try, but I lost. The winners were two girls who sang along with a Mariah Carey song, second place was a couple of girls that danced to some country music, and I forgot who won third place. It was three years ago.

That's hilarious. Unfortunately for those of you who guessed that I have done Statement Number One, well, it's not true. And MatthewV, no, hopefully not "someday, someday".
