Another happy little survey... 04/25/2012 03:44 PM CDT
You all are being really boring. Thus, I feel it's time for me to post another stupid little survey and make you answer inane questions for my entertainment. I'm sure I've asked some of these questions before, but I don't remember what you said... so it doesn't count:

Go!

1) What is your favorite kind of cheese?

2) If your character lived in the real world, what would his or her hobbies be? Do they have any hobbies right now in game that we don't know about?

3) Which (if any) upcoming summer movies are you most excited for?

4) Does your character have any personal symbols (not including super obvious cultural and/or religious ones)? If so, explain them!

5) Have any existing fictional characters inspired/guided the development of your character? Who? How?

6) Who is your favorite muppet?

7) What are the contents of your ideal burrito?

8) What's the last good book you read? Will I like it? Because I need something new to read...

9) It's time for some horrible fan fiction! You are crossing gemstone with some other unrelated and probably totally illogical franchise. What story are you obnoxiously inserting your character into and what is their role in this?

10) Add a class to the game. It will be added in 2043. What is it? (For the purposes of this survey, Monkeys and Savants already exist.)

11) How would you like to see Solhaven destroyed next?

12) How many other games have you played some version of your GS character in? Did their character creators let you get their hair right?

13) Have any fun summer plans?

14) Share a link to something spiffy and/or awesome. Things that are neato-peachy keen are also acceptable.

15) Are 14 questions enough? Because I'm out of ideas.

Get to work. Your answers are all due ASAP!

1) What is your favorite kind of cheese?
St. Andre's. I was told by a really Bubba-looking dude in Kentucky that "St. Andre isn't a brie, because brie is a double creme, while St. Andre is triple." I never felt so humble...

2) If your character lived in the real world, what would his or her hobbies be? Do they have any hobbies right now in game that we don't know about?
Godefroy would very likely closely follow the news. I kind of envision him spending a lot of time reading the 'Times in Central Park.

3) Which (if any) upcoming summer movies are you most excited for?
Does "The Avengers" count as a summer movie?

4) Does your character have any personal symbols (not including super obvious cultural and/or religious ones)? If so, explain them!
Non-religious symbols? Pah!

5) Have any existing fictional characters inspired/guided the development of your character? Who? How?
Godefroy was designed as a melding of B. J. Honeycutt and Father Patrick Mulcahey from MA*SH. I doubt that will surprise anyone.

6) Who is your favorite muppet?
The Swedish Chef.

7) What are the contents of your ideal burrito?
Chicken, cilantro, rice, queso, pinto beans, black olives, and chives.

8) What's the last good book you read? Will I like it? Because I need something new to read...
I am presently reading "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams. Never got into it before because it starts slow.

9) It's time for some horrible fan fiction! You are crossing gemstone with some other unrelated and probably totally illogical franchise. What story are you obnoxiously inserting your character into and what is their role in this?
Hehehe... I can kind of see Godefroy as a Chaplain in Starship Troopers.

10) Add a class to the game. It will be added in 2043. What is it? (For the purposes of this survey, Monkeys and Savants already exist.)
Psion, an elemental/mental pure hybrid class?

11) How would you like to see Solhaven destroyed next?
Sub-prime mortgages?

12) How many other games have you played some version of your GS character in? Did their character creators let you get their hair right?
Three, and... sort of?

13) Have any fun summer plans?
I wish...

14) Share a link to something spiffy and/or awesome. Things that are neato-peachy keen are also acceptable.
Hmmn... ok. Want to learn to write in Tolkien's Elvish?

That is such a great book. I might even think the follow up is even better - The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul.
