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.

You use it too?

[tireurdelite]

Not me, I could never pull it off. But Father did.

[stygios]

Yeah, my dad is pretty good at it too.

[tireurdelite]

Enemy forces used to surrender just seeing Father on the battlefield. He was practically a legend.

[Very much past tense, but it's Fine. This is Fine.]

[stygios]

So your country has been involved in a lot of wars?

[tireurdelite]

It's not something I'm particularly proud of, but yes.

[stygios]

I think we all have things like that.

[tireurdelite]

My brother and I are working towards changing things, but it will take a long time to heal the wounds of war. I only hope we can do some good.

[stygios]

Is your brother here as well?

[tireurdelite]

No, he's not. And I'm glad - someone needs to take care of our home.

[stygios]

Yeah, I feel the same way about everyone I know.

[tireurdelite]

Is there not anyone you know here?

[stygios]

No, only people I've met since coming here.

[tireurdelite]

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know how much of a mess I would be if I didn't have people from home here to support me.

[stygios]

It's okay. I'm used to working alone, and I've met some people here.

[tireurdelite]

The people here have all been very kind to me so far. I hope you've had similar experiences.
