Questions

[Jupiter]

Not interrogations, but voluntary discussion provoking questions.
A couple of notes before I get to it, obviously you don't have to answer them all, you can branch a question if it makes more sense and of course feel free to add to it. When adding questions or answers please go back to your original post otherwise it will get insanely complicated (which is ok in somethings but not this).

[Triia]

General

# of locales lived and where? 2 – Grew up in Michigan, lived in NC for a few years, back in MI now.

pets? kind and names? Of course! Fergus – beagle/ mix, Kea – cat

school? Albion College, graduated from Michigan State University w/B.S. in Zoology

talents, hidden or otherwise? I’ve been told I’m a decent writer and artist. I can untack a horse, hose it down and have a second one tacked up in full polo gear in under seven minutes. Supposedly I’m pretty good with a whip, too

TV? Not lately…. but Lost is a favorite

motto? “Better late than never!”

actor you'd pick to play you? I have no idea. Kate Winslet, maybe.

best word to describe you? Ambiguous? Or INFP, if that counts.

farthest place you've been? Kenya, Africa

place you'd most like to visit? Just about anywhere. I love to travel. High on the list: New Zealand/Australia, Alaska, anywhere in Europe, Thailand, South Africa…. It goes on and on

pet peeve? Willful ignorance, close-mindedness, mean and inconsiderate people


Favorites

color? Green

food? Probably seafood, but no particular favorites. I like variety and to try new things.

drink? Again, no particular favorites. In general, I just drink a lot of water (yeah, yeah… go ahead with the water jokes…)

sport? To participate in: Equestrian, mostly show jumping. To watch: Hockey is one of the only ones that will keep my interest. College football is ok.

team? Detroit Red Wings (sorry Kaiser)

game? Besides GW? Morrowind, the Half Life, Baldur’s Gate and Thief series, Splinter Cell

book? Too many to list.

author? See above, but some from the top of the list: Tad Williams, George R. R. Martin, Sharon Kay Penman, Bill Bryson

movie?

type of movie?

place to eat? McCormick & Shmick’s

worst food? Green peppers

worst movie?


Guild Wars

inspiration behind name(s)? Triia was a very old character name I used for a favorite character. It has a bit of sentimental meaning for me, so I like the fact that it’s become my GW “name”. She never had a last name so I used the last name of my favorite Morrowind character.
- My monk’s name was just a made up quickie and I’ve never really liked it.
- Zisis would have been named Atropos, (the third of the Greek Fates, she is the one who would choose how a mortal would die and then cut the thread), but we had a rash of characters with “A” names at the time. Sticking with the Greek theme, Zisis is a Greek name that had a nice ring to it.
- Galen is a Greek name again, which means tranquil/healer....which he is certainly not at the moment. *shrug* Phae is the result of me twisting around Fie, Scottish for "dark of peace"....just seemed very ritualist-y to me.

favorite spells, elite and otherwise? Parasitic Bond, Whirling Defense and Troll Unguent are indispensable. Mantra of Recall, Life Siphon, Spiteful Spirit are great elites. I’ve started playing around a little more with some of the mesmer skills and could definitely see a few more favorites popping up out of that line.

favorite emote? /roar, /fistshake (or is it /shakefist? I never remember D:) and the male monk and female ranger flex.

new emote you'd like to see?

Real first name? Amy

Random odd fact about you? Having a hard time picking just one...

Job you'd most like at Anet? I'm not sure what it would be called, but I'd love to help come up with the ideas on how the game looks visually and help with a real storyline.

Birthday? August 23rd

GW anniversary? April 28 or 29

What would you do with the money if you won GWWC? Ideally... take a vacation. Realistically... pay bills

gaa, Triia, how dare you like the team named after boots made in Minnesota? I officially sun your horts.

well, at least they lost to the Stars today (1/28)

[Triia]

Even if I'm risking the well being of my horts, I stand by my adoration of the Wings. I was raised as a Wings fan and shall die as such!

And boots? Minnesota? You'd better keep an eye on your own horts.....insulting my team.... I'll skip right over the sunning and pull out the whip, if I have to. Never underestimate the loyalty of a Wings fan.

Added questions in my original post, only mention this because I doubt anyone would go back to check.

We all know Ottawa will win the cup this year anyway people, no need to hate/love the Wings.

[Triia]

warpfenix said:

We all know Ottawa will win the cup this year anyway people, no need to hate/love the Wings.

What?? No need to love...Wings....*sputters with indignation* Do you have any idea what you're saying Malae? Go have a look at our football and baseball team's records. They're the laughing stock of the country! What else is there besides the Red Wings?? ....well, I guess we have a decent team in some sport called basketball or something, but...eh...

And anyway, everyone knows Ottawa chokes in the playoffs...

[Kaiser]

You're right Triia. The cup will stay here in the US where it belongs. Even if it does have to be in Detroit...

EDIT: To clarify for Malae who misunderstood this post, I did not say or imply that Detroit would win the cup. I was just saying that would be preferable to some Canadian team winning it. Fortunately it is looking like neither will happen, so... /Snoopydance
