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.

Yes. This land doesn't have royalty at all.

I suppose I have the same motivations, more or less.

Why not work together, then? There is much to learn, and perhaps we may accomplish more than we would separately.

Perhaps we may. I can recommend material that I have found.

Oh? Where is it? I have made note to visit the library to start with, but there is so much information at hand, I'd struggle with where to start.

It really depends on what you want to study. I've found a few books about the local culture, for example.

Given your lack of knowledge about things like black holes you may find learning about science and technology useful. Mm, to start with, do you know what a printing press is?

I am familiar, yes. It is responsible for the mass reproduction of written works, yes? I don't believe our world has one yet, and I only know of it because a native mentioned it to me when I was curious about their books.

Yes. If it is at all possible to retain memories from this world upon your return, I advise you take that concept with you. More than any other single piece of knowledge, it will improve the lives of your people.

It will also bring enormous changes.
