If this adventure with chain mail has taught me anything, 'tis that many of us here are having our first exposure to the internet, with all its amusements and pitfalls included. Thus, I thought it might be nice to introduce another 'getting to know each other' game that some of us might not know yet. This one won't involve pictures or ratings of attractiveness, not to worry.

This game is called 'two truths and a lie'. The premise is simple. You list three statements about yourself, two true and one false. Ideally they should all be similar levels of unbelievable. Then, other people respond to you to guess which one is the lie. We all learn a little about each other and have a bit of fun.

1. I once shot an arrow at a god.
2. I am a prince of one of the five most powerful countries in the world.
3. I am the best archer in Brodia's army.

[see these all sound unbelievable because he's saying positive things about himself]

Hey, quit cheating!

[tireurdelite]

But I'm not cheating?? One of these is a lie and the other two are true.

[brightsandstorm]

But all of them are true. How's anyone supposed to guess?

[tireurdelite]

No they're not.

Three.

[tireurdelite]

That's right. My brother is better than I am.

[fishfearme]

Is that so. Does he help you in improving your archery skills?

[tireurdelite]

He's too busy for that. The crown prince has many important duties.

Is Brodia a country?

[Yes, he'll get around to guessing in a moment, possibly, but first he must sate his curiosity.]

[tireurdelite]

It is. The country I'm from.

[kingside]

Then I'm guessing you're an archer for a different army.

[No actual evidence, just a hunch. He's fully prepared to be wrong.]

[tireurdelite]

That's the lie, but the reason is that my older brother is a better archer than I am.

[roundandaround]

REALLY?????????

[tireurdelite]

About which one?

[roundandaround]

All of them! That's so cool! I bet you have all kinds of adventures!

3? I want 1 to be true.

[tireurdelite]

It's three - my older brother is a better archer than I am.

One isn't really that impressive - I didn't know he was a god at the time.

[stygios]

I think it still counts as a brag worthy moment.

I don't have any brothers myself. Just sisters.

[ ...Is this truly how they reunite? ]

I don't know if 1 counts if you didn't actually hit me.

[tireurdelite]

[Would Alcryst have put that up if he realized Alear was here? Definitely not!]

It's still inexcusable! I'm sorry, Divine One!

[divino]

[ Alear sure is glad they can laugh about it now... never mind that he's the only one of the two that finds it amusing. ]

You don't have to keep apologizing.
It was a while ago, and I'm still in one piece.

By the way, the other two choices are definitely true, so it has to be that one, right?

un: skylark

[inspiteful]

I'm gonna take a stab and say it's 2?

[tireurdelite]

Two is the truth. There are only five countries where I come from, so any country is automatically in the top five.

[inspiteful]

Only five?

[ ...He's trying to imagine it but it's kind of hard??? Funny how "fired an arrow at a god" is easier to imagine than this. ]
