Hi! You may write a short "about me" before starting.

Where are you from?

I hate this question, cause I never know how to answer it. I technically from the Soviet Union, but I grew up in Jersey and call Boston home.

What is your best skill?

I know how to handle firearms? I can also cook.

What's your best accomplishment on MafiaScum?

I'm fond winning of Justice League Mafia, I guess.

What is your hobby?

I dance, knit, and can occasionally be bothered to spin my own yarn.

What's the most important thing in a friend?

Honesty or reciprocity, I guess.

What's the most important thing in a co-worker?

That they actually do their work. And try not to cause any drama.

Do you have any long-term project? Which one?

Um, living. That counts, right?

What other internet sites do you recommend us?

I'm a foodie, so Cake Wrecks is a favourite of mine. Hero, despite its lack of updates is quiet awesome as well. Probably the best webcomic out there. There are a few others I enjoy as well, mostly of the post-apocalyptic sort.

Best thing about being a Mafia player?

Procrastination?

Could you please tell us a joke?

Ummm...How do you shoot a blue elephant? With a blue elephant gun. How do you shoot a pink elephant? You hold his trunk til he turns blue and shoot him with a blue elephant gun. How do you shoot a green elephant? Tickle him pink, hold this trunk til he turns blue, and shoot him with a blue elephant gun. How do you shoot a red elephant? Make him go green with envy, tickle him pink, hold his trunk til he turns blue, and shoot him with a blue elephant gun. How do you shoot a yellow elephant? Have you ever seen a yellow elephant? ...these are a lot funnier when you're sleep deprived.

You have $20k and a big house. Would you host a Meet? If yes, who would you invite first?

Ummm, no I wouldn't host a meet because you're all people from the interwebs and thus serial killers or something. If I absolutely had to meet some of y'all in person, then probably Adel, Elvis, FL (the female one), Plum, Farside, and Destructor.

How would your funeral be like?

Hopefully there wouldn't be one. I don't like the thought of a spectacle occurring with my decomposing corpse as the star. Hopefully someone will have the good sense to just cremate me and dump the ashes in some body of water somewhere and skip the casket and the flowers and the formaldehyde and the black and the crying and the insincere sermonizing. I hate funerals. Wouldn't want to put anyone through one.

Where would you travel first with $10k USD?

Germany, cause I loved it there. Or Venice again. Though I would like to see Greece and Egypt in my lifetime. Yay for old broken stuff. I'd also like to see Paris again.

What inspires you?

Life.

What turns you down?

I do not understand this question

What is your biggest fear?

I'm scared of oompa loompas. Yes, really.

Can you speak anything in spanish?

No comprendo?

What language(s) do you speak?

English, Russian, and some German

Favorite...
...alcoholic drink?

I don't drink. But porto is pretty good.

...non-alcoholic drink?

Water. Or passion fruit juice. Or iced tea

...food?

Salad. Falafel. Pizza. Lasagna. Samosas. Navratan korma. Sushi (esp. tuna sushi). Thai curry. Anything with eggplant or spinach. Plus loads and loads more. As I said, I'm a foodie.

...ice cream flavor?

Mint with cookies. Or anything chocolate. Or fruit gelatos (esp. grapefruit and mango). Or saffron pistachio.

...holiday?

Ummm, I don't really have one. I guess Christmas because I love the whole pretty tree thing, but I haven't done that in a while. I loved Halloween as a kid though, so maybe that.

...pet?

I love most animals, but I'm more of a cat person. Dogs are great too. As are ferrets. And rats. And bunnies. And skunks. And goats. etc.

...musician (yes, includes composers and performers)?

The Weakerthans

...movie?

Litvak's Anastasia. It's kind of hard for me to pick one though. The other members of my top 5 are now probably H, Goodbye Lenin, Spring Summer Autumn Winter...and Spring, and Amelie, though they tend to change often because there are so many great movies out there.

...actor?

Liam Neeson, I guess. Maybe.

...actress?

Audrey Hepburn, probably. I don't really know.

...mafia role?

Anything scum aligned that isn't the Godfather

...mafia alignment?

Scum

...card game?

This Russian card game called Durak

...online activity?

Random surfing

...game (pen-and-paper, electronic or whatever)?

Risk, I guess. Also pictionary. And trivia games. Gotta love those.

...quote?

I don't have one, I don't think. Unless you count the money speech from Atlas Shrugged. Does that qualify as a quote? A lot of Ovid's stuff really speaks to me too, I guess

[Simenon]

Favorite novelist?
Playwright?
Poet?

[Mirth]

Favorite novelist?

Gah! Ummm I can't pick just one. The top five are Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, Vladimir Nabokov, Jane Alison, Robert Heinlein, and Thomas Mann

Playwright?

Tennessee Williams, probably. Though Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller give him some pretty strong competition.

Poet?

Elinor Wylie, hands down. Followed by Rudyard Kipling.

[forbiddanlight]

Do you liek rope?

[BridgesAndBaloons]

When can we IC together?

Forgive me?

Pick the first thing that comes to your mind:

You suddenly get the power to, according to you, correct one issue (sexism for instance): which one issue would you choose?

You're given 1000 dollars, but you have to give it away. You can't invest it or give it to a friend who'll buy you dinner or something. What do you do with it (can be multiple things: 100 dollars here, 200 dollars there)

Now you're given 1000 dollars, but you have to spend it right now for yourself (again no investing). What do you do.

Rate your life in the following categories in any rating system you want (feel free to give or not give explanation):

Success in things you have pursued
Taking advantage of opportunities
Enjoying the simple things
Surviving the bad things

[Mirth]

Do you liek rope?

Not in the way you do

When can we IC together?

Maybe once I start playing again.

Forgive me?

What for?

Pick the first thing that comes to your mind:

You suddenly get the power to, according to you, correct one issue (sexism for instance): which one issue would you choose?

Sexual abuse/violence, obviously.

You're given 1000 dollars, but you have to give it away. You can't invest it or give it to a friend who'll buy you dinner or something. What do you do with it (can be multiple things: 100 dollars here, 200 dollars there)

The ASPCA. Or RAINN.

Now you're given 1000 dollars, but you have to spend it right now for yourself (again no investing). What do you do.

Ummm, I'll probably raid the nearest bookstore for about half of it. And then drag myself bra shopping.

Rate your life in the following categories in any rating system you want (feel free to give or not give explanation):

Success in things you have pursued

Good, I guess.

Taking advantage of opportunities

Can't really say

Enjoying the simple things

Good

Surviving the bad things

I'm still alive, aren't I?

[forbiddanlight]

Is there any reason you can't appreciate the awesomeness of rope like I do?

[Mirth]

Is there any reason you can't appreciate the awesomeness of rope like I do?

Cause I'm not into BDSM probably. Or would you like a more creative answer.

[Adel]

how large is your personal bubble? (my guess: six feet)

what kinds of music do you dance to?

what kinds of dance do you do?

[forbiddanlight]

Can you give me a more creative answer?

Also, would you like me to help teach you the fun of rope ? I'm easy to tie up ^-^.

[Mirth]

how large is your personal bubble? (my guess: six feet)

What do you mean by this? I'm not sure I understand the question.

what kinds of music do you dance to?

Tango music. Though if no one is watching I may rock out to anything with a funky electronic/synth beat.

what kinds of dance do you do?

I tango

Can you give me a more creative answer?

I probably could.

Also, would you like me to help teach you the fun of rope ? I'm easy to tie up ^-^.

Ignoring the fact that I don't swing that way for a minute, you're forgetting the part where I'm halfway to being as bad as Anix

[forbiddanlight]

What do you mean as bad as AniX?

And would you please provide said creative answer?

[Mirth]

What do you mean as bad as AniX?

I'm celibate. That's halfway to asexual.

And would you please provide said creative answer?

I probably don't appreciate the supposed awesomeness of rope because rope was a subpaar Hitchcock movie that did not fully utilize the talents of either Jimmy Stewart or Farley Granger (who was incredible in Strangers on a Train, which is a far superior film, as is Vertigo with Stewart). It was long, boring, and almost as bad as Marnie, which did not in any way shape or form deserve whatever awards it got.

[forbiddanlight]

Good answer.

And you probably told me the former, I just didn't recall it :S...

But still, you don't have to DO anything, just play with rope...maybe?

[Adel]

how large is your personal bubble? (my guess: six feet)

What do you mean by this? I'm not sure I understand the question.

two people who are within each other's bubble.

in other words, how close can a random person stand near you in an uncrowded place without you experienceing a loss of comfort?

Define the parameters better please. It really depends on the person and what they're doing and the surroundings. If its late at night and the person is all kinds of creepy, then 6 feet wouldn't be far enough away. If it's daylight and in public somewhere regardless of crowding and the person isn't creeping me out for some reason other than proximity, I can probably handle 2 feet before getting uncomfortable.

Good answer.

And you probably told me the former, I just didn't recall it :S...

Nah. If I wanted to play with rope, I'd join the merchant marine

[forbiddanlight]

/me frowns

I guess...you don't like me after all

/me looks downcast and walks away slowly.

Sure I do, just not enough to tie you up.

So you mean halfway to being as cool as AniX.

[Lord Gurgi]

Hi Mirth, AniX.

[Mirth]

Yes, why shouldn't I?
