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.

whoa, has it always been like that?
my worlds way isnt all its cracked up to be

[kingside]

It has, yes. The first emperor was coronated in 1813 ATB. Washington's Rebellion, which I believe is the origin of your United States, unfortunately failed a few decades before that.

I'm certain there's room for improvement in your world, at any rate, but I strongly suspect I'd prefer it nonetheless.

[privateeyed]

yeah, 1776
kind of makes sense if that didnt work, emperor is surprising though
but it probably is a little better
most folk like that are just figureheads now, countries now run as parliments or some other fancy term i should have known in high school history

[kingside]

[... Figureheads. That must be nice.]

Parliamentary republics, perhaps? Whatever the case, thank you for clarifying, and thank you for your service as well.

[privateeyed]

something like that probably
youre welcome on both accounts? i never know what to say to being thanked
what made you pick that one out of curiosity

[kingside]

No need to say anything, really, beyond what you have.

Exactly that: curiosity. Many entries to this activity have made me wonder what the circumstances are like on people's worlds. I decided to skip the activity in favor of learning more.

[Also, he really couldn't guess from what little you wrote which one was the lie, but like hell is he admitting that.]

[privateeyed]

not a bad answer
folks are putting some wild shit
what gets me is that its probably true

[kingside]

We're in complete agreement there.

[privateeyed]

im glad you understand
ive never felt more boring than i do right now

[kingside]

You did mention cool robot parts. That's more than some people have going for them.

[Yes, he's saying that it totally still counts even if they're basic prosthetics. Shh.]

[privateeyed]

thats true, it is subjective
not a complaint though, cool robot parts is all i got going for me and im fine with that

[kingside]

Probably the right stance to take. I don't want to imagine what troubles must accompany some of the statements people have made on here.

[privateeyed]

me either
kind of feel bad guessing on some
but if theyre putting it on here it probably doesnt bother them

[kingside]

One would certainly hope. Still, not everyone thinks these things through.

[privateeyed]

this would be the worst way to reveal some deep dark secret

[kingside]

Or the best by downplaying its importance.

[privateeyed]

i guess
maybe if it isnt traumatizing

[kingside]

People process trauma in different ways.

[privateeyed]

true enough
to each their own and all that

HE'S ALOOF I'M SORRY some more

[kingside]

As you say.

YOU'RE MORE THAN GOOD HAHAH <3

[privateeyed]

anyway
i know youre in this for education or whatever but whats one of your fun facts

weh

[kingside]

Would you like me to copy and paste my entry to this game at you?

[privateeyed]

wow making me guess like the rest of the kids
im hurt
(im not)

the piano one is the lie?

[kingside]

How will you learn if I give all the answers to you?

Incorrect. Try again.

[privateeyed]

i really want the tomato one to be true so
