Okay! We've got a few more newbies so the mandatory ice breaker game is two truths and two lies! Say two things about yourself that are true and two that are a lie, and then everyone else well try and guess which ones are the lies. Got it?

I'll go first:

My blood is yellow.
I was hatched with four eyes and four horns.
Purple is my favorite color.
I'm a wanted criminal on my home planet.

[OOC: Respond with your own truths and lies and answer each other, or ask Psi about his. Threadjacking is encouraged!]

[otoko]

HMM!? Do you know this one?!

[flashover]

Yeah, he's my classmate...

[otoko]

Hmmmmmm...I see...

[Beat]

HE LIED MORE THAN TWICE?!

[flashover]

Yeah!! He cheated!

[otoko]

WHY WOULD ONE EVEN BOTHER TO CHEAT WITH SUCH A GAME?!

THIS IS A GAME OF INTRODUCTIONS!!

[flashover]

Cause he wants people to think he's cooler than he really is!

[betheman]

[...............] ....Would claiming to be 'the coolest' not already take from that..?

[flashover]

Well, in his own mind, he might not think that one's a lie.

[otoko]

That still reveals a considerably unpleasant matter about them...

[spaghettimonster]

Cheating at a game like this.. It says a lot about people!

[otoko]

Ahh! Indeed it does!!

In a game of introductions, one must trust others enough to share truths! Even unpleasant ones!

[spaghettimonster]

Yeah! If only there was some way to convince them to trust people... Like a trust exercise! Or a penalty game!

[betheman]

Hmmmm, I, the man Gongenzaka, feel a trust exercise could be better than a penalty in that case...

A penalty would only be punishment, after all!

[spaghettimonster]

They did break the rules of the game. And it's a mandatory game! The foreman said so.

[dorkypantsuit]

That's right, but penalties aren't the way of it. Negative reinforcement is works 22% worse than positive reinforcement on average!

[He's totally making that up.]

[spaghettimonster]

Oh my god! That's a big difference. Nevermind the penalty game, we'll do something else!

[He's utterly convinced. Now if only he knew whether this use of 'negative reinforcement' meant 'the absence of reinforcement' or 'the presence of a negative thing as reinforcement.']

[otoko]

Indeed! But it is still all the same a 'game'. We must keep this in mind.

[perverses]

It's not cheating!

[flashover]

It's cheating!!

[perverses]

Yeah, says who?

[flashover]

Says the bug guy who made the game up!!

[perverses]

But I did say two tr—! [ wait. wait wait wait w-what was that? ] Bug guy? What bug guy?!

[flashover]

Uh, the guy who started the game? Apparently he's a bug guy! With wings and hatched from an egg and everything! Isn't that neat?

[perverses]

No! No, it's definitely not neat! Th-that was a lie, wasn't it?!

[flashover]

Nope, I asked! That was one of the truths. It's fine though!
