[013] Survey 002: Participation Optional.
Good evening.

Once again, to those of you who feel generous, please answer the following questions:

1.) What is your favourite colour? For those more concerned with their appearences: please make sure it is your favourite, not one that looks best on you.

2.) Please describe what you see in this sample from a common Rorschach test:

3.) Imagine yourself in a box-shaped room with no windows. There is nothing inside it that you can tell: you can't see more than five feet in front of you. It is cold, the walls are made from steel, and you cannot get out. A door you were unable to see opens, the only indication that it is a door at all is the stream of light let in from a thin hallway. There is a man with a gun strapped to his hip and he approaches you with the intent to harm. The door closes and it is darkness again. How would you react?

4.) Please tell me what you associate with the following words. If you associate nothing, please tell me how you feel about them:
4a.) Incest -->
4b.) Marriage -->
4c.) Apple -->
4d.) Gorilla -->
4e.) Acid -->
4f.) Yellow -->
4g.) Red -->
4h.) Estate -->
4i.) Terrorism -->
4j.) Sane -->
4k.) Igloo -->
4l.) Magpie -->
4m.) Objectivism -->
4n.) Larceny -->
4o.) Lark -->
4p.) Evergreen -->
4q.) Harpy -->
5.) What is your favourite number?

6a.) If you had no other choice but to play one of these games, which would you play: Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, or FreeCell?
6b.) If your world contains none of these games, give a set of three generic games that belong to your world and which you prefer to play.

7.) Please describe a game that you enjoyed playing when you were seven.

8.) Imagine that you have been assaulted in the middle of a forest. The nearest village is twenty-five miles away. You have managed to kill your assailant, but it is possible the assault has left some of your ribs broken. If you move too much -- assuming your ribs are broken -- you may puncture your lungs. What do you do?

9.) Would you like having your picture taken with a famous person? If so, why? If not, why not?

10.) What do you believe you deserve for the completion of this survey?
As always, I may or may not honour your request.

Thank you.

1. I'm rather fond of blue, actually.

2. It... sort of looks like two ladies, back-to-back.

3. ...I suppose I would panic... Being in a situation like that... I couldn't even use my magic if I couldn't see... what could I do?

4a.) Incest --> Wrong
4b.) Marriage --> Happiness
4c.) Apple --> Mountain
4d.) Gorilla --> Monkey
4e.) Acid --> Dangerous
4f.) Yellow --> Flower
4g.) Red --> Fire
4h.) Estate --> Wealth
4i.) Terrorism --> Suffering
4j.) Sane --> Healthy
4k.) Igloo --> Home
4l.) Magpie --> Bird
4m.) Objectivism --> I don't know what that is; I guess the word makes me feel like it's about objects, things. Does it mean that it's someone who values objects above people?
4n.) Larceny --> Thief
4o.) Lark --> Song
4p.) Evergreen --> Tree
4q.) Harpy --> Vicious

5. Ah... I like the number three.

6. I don't know any of those games, so... I'd like to build snowmen, go sledding, or... have a snowball fight. My, it feels like it's been such a long time since I was a child...

7. When I was seven... well, I liked to play hide-and-seek with some of the other children. It wasn't easy, though; you had to hide really well, or you'd be spotted easily.

8. I think... if I were able to, I'd heal myself and rest before walking to the village. If I weren't, for some reason, I'd stay where I was. It's a long way to walk or fly...

9. I... think so. I guess it'd depend on who it was, maybe. I don't see anything wrong with getting a simple photo taken; after all, we take pictures of monsters often.

10. I can't think of anything I want, but thank you, regardless.

Re: 2

You're right. I hadn't considered it like that.

Re: 3

It is difficult to say when you will likely never be put into such a situation. Although you say you may panic, it is also likely that you would respond in a way that you never thought you would respond.

Re: 4m

Here is a simple description of Objectivism: Objectivism regards reason as an absolute. It holds that all knowledge is based on the evidence of the senses. It holds that all beliefs, conclusions, and convictions must be established by logical methods of inquiry and tested by logical methods of verification. In short, it holds that the scientific approach applies to all areas of knowledge.

Re: 5

Is there any reason you prefer "3" above all others?

Re: 7

Was it something about the terrain that made it difficult to hide?

Alright, you have my interest. Let me see here.

1.) Green (Because it is a good color. The kind of color that usually means "There is nothing horribly wrong"...it also so happens to be the one color I see the least of.)

2.) The first thing to come to mind is an artificially created inter-dimensional bridge used to draw energy into a specific area.

3.) Well, it's obvious. I'd cry and beg for my life remind him that I am of far more use alive and hopefully distract him long enough to get rescued by Sheppard mount a rush and try to disarm him.

4:
4a.) Incest --> Disgusting
4b.) Marriage --> English Majors knocking up my sister
4c.) Apple --> Red (The bad color)
4d.) Gorilla --> Ronan Dex
4e.) Acid --> Citrus
4f.) Yellow --> Lemons, and by extension, citrus
4g.) Red --> Disasters
4h.) Estate --> Money
4i.) Terrorism --> Subjective to perception
4j.) Sane --> Damaged by contact with children
4k.) Igloo --> Not common in Canada
4l.) Magpie --> Thieves
4m.) Objectivism --> Important
4n.) Larceny --> A punishable offense
4o.) Lark --> Jeez, I don’t know…singing.
4p.) Evergreen --> A common name for a family of trees.
4q.) Harpy --> Non-existent

5.) 3.14159265

6.) Solitaire.

7.) By seven, I was reading. Although I would play a game where I'd ask my father to read me a bedtime story...and then explain to him how every thing about it was wrong. He stopped reading me stories after about the tenth time.

8.) My Laptop. Activate a high power distress beacon and wait for my team to come to my rescue or for the nearest civilization to come to my aid.

9.) Absolutely. Bragging rights obviously. What other reason could there be?

10.) A favor to be redeemed at my choosing.

Well, hopefully that satisfies you.

Re: 1 and 4g

What is the line of work you pursue?

Re: 2

...

That's a very impressive answer. Thank you.

Re: 3

What would your response be if your assailant hit you in the jaw with his fist and you were unable to avoid it?

Re: 7

I have found that most adults do not wish to accept that their children are not captivated by or obsessed with illogical things.

Re: 10

You're very bold. Consider the favour owed, as long as I find it interesting.

1.) Green, I'd say.

2.) A dragon's face in the middle, horns on the top, and maybe wings sticking out from the sides? Smoke shooting out of its nose, too.

3.) Am I dressed as I normally am? That will change my answer.

4.) Please tell me what you associate with the following words. If you associate nothing, please tell me how you feel about them:

4a.) Incest --> Royalty
4b.) Marriage --> Love
4c.) Apple --> Home
4d.) Gorilla --> ... What's a gorilla? Combat
4e.) Acid --> Pain
4f.) Yellow --> Sun
4g.) Red --> Blood
4h.) Estate --> Noble
4i.) Terrorism --> Fear
4j.) Sane --> Karel
4k.) Igloo --> Ilia
4l.) Magpie --> Shiny
4m.) Objectivism --> Judge
4n.) Larceny --> Matthew
4o.) Lark --> Music
4p.) Evergreen --> Pine
4q.) Harpy --> Scream

5.) I don't really have one.

6a.) Well, I don't know what any of those are, but...
6b.) I've always liked playing Gin, and I'm pretty decent at Blackjack and Poker.

7.) Seek and find.

8.) I'd probably try to very carefully get to a road and wait for a healer to come along, and I'd pay to have them heal me. But if I felt well enough, I'd try to get to the town. It'd be no good if I got myself attacked again by waiting.

9.) Have my picture taken...? I don't think so. It'd be enough for me to meet them. It would be kind of silly, and what would I do with it? I have enough stuff to carry around, and it's stuff that I need!

10.) I'd say that depends on how useful my answers are. I mean, if they're not very useful, then I wouldn't deserve much, now would I?

1) I like red. I can't help but believe that I've been somewhat influenced on that over the years. Blue? Yeah. That sounds about right.

2) ...the pictures makes me think of talons. Or maybe a praying mantis...? No! No. Two women, back to back, sitting on a ledge. Yeah.

3) The most I can do is pray that the Goddess grants me a quick and peaceful rest. If the man is accurate, then I'm sure I won't suffer. ...though maybe it's for his best interests that I don't suffer...

4)--
Incest --> ew.
Marriage --> Holy union between two who are in love under the wonderous gaze of the Goddess Eidos
Apple --> Pie.
Gorilla --> uh... I don't know what to associate or think of to this. Sounds like a type of creature that's been wandering in Liberl. And the monsters there are pretty dangerous...
Acid --> That stuff hurts, doesn't it?
Yellow --> It's a very bright color. Cheery. Like sunshine!
Red --> Some say this represents power. Some say it's a bloody color. However, being that red is a prominant color in the scriptures of the Septian Church, it's rather important. It can be regal and glorious as well.
Estate --> Like large houses? Large houses are awesome.
Terrorism --> It's a serious and real thing in my world. A lot of people deny it, but it's hard to realize what the truth really is.
Sane --> I have a firm thought that many people can be simply considered insane. This is a rather subjective term and idea.
Igloo --> Ice
Magpie --> Pie? I like Apple Pie.
Objectivism --> Being objective is not always entirely objective, depending on who you're speaking with.
Larceny --> It's a crime. Criminals are to be punished by Eidos' eternal and everpowerful laws.
Lark --> Bird?
Evergreen --> Tree
Harpy --> Creature thingy with wings and such?

5) 7 is a very important number to those within the Septian Church. It is also the number of the great gifts that the Goddess granted to the people of Zemulia.

6a) I'm afraid I don't know any of them, so I can't give an answer.
6b) Though games from my world? I work with children, so I end up playing tag, hide and seek, and catch a lot.

7) My life was a rather when I was seven. I never played games then.

8) I would pray. Prayer is a powerful thing. The Goddess does listen.

9) It doesn't matter, actually. Everyone, even famous, is still the same under the eyes of the Goddess.

10) I don't believe I deserve anything for completing this, if it helps you find out anything you need to help us all.

Re: 4d

!

Another one?

In our world, we have two popular theories which divide our world's beliefs: creationism and evolution. Creationism is based on the idea that a God created everything out of nothing. Evolution is based on the idea that we have evolved from nothing. Evolution states that gorillas and humans share a common ancestor. We would be related, even though gorillas are commonly regarded as little more than large, hairy brutes with lanky limbs and hideous strength.

1.) ...I do believe it's light blue, as of lately.

2.) Well, it looks kind of like a frog, but without a head. The top are the front legs, the bottom are the back legs.

3.) I'd probably panic, but then summon Efreet, basically a fire-controlling being, and he'll light up the room. Then I'll proceed to kill the person.

4a.) Incest --> Sick
4b.) Marriage --> Love
4c.) Apple --> Aim
4d.) Gorilla --> Mucular
4e.) Acid --> Zombie-Killer
4f.) Yellow --> Sun
4g.) Red --> The button NOT to press
4h.) Estate --> Rich People
4i.) Terrorism --> Fight Back
4j.) Sane --> Boring
4k.) Igloo --> Penguins
4l.) Magpie --> Birdsong
4m.) Objectivism --> Partially correct
4n.) Larceny --> Often necessary, but not nearly as often as people say it is.
4o.) Lark --> Bird
4p.) Evergreen --> Tall
4q.) Harpy --> A pain in the ass.

5.) 3

6.) The games we have in my village would be far too complex to explain, so I'll just go with my first impressions of the games you listed. Uhm... Freecell sounds good, because it reminds me of freedom, but at the same time, it has 'cell', and people can't escape cells often, so... I'd probably play Freecell just because it's complexly interesting.

7.) We played a form of hide and seek as well.

8.) That's what we have communication devices for, don't we?

9.) Putting aside that I'm somewhat 'famous' myself... I wouldn't. Then, if the famous person had some out to assasinate the famous person, or if the famous person just had enemies in general, I wouldn't be associated with the famous person and therefore, I'd be in less danger.

10.) A straight answer if I manage to decode the riddle.

1. White

2. Two old prisoners, curled up.

3. I would disarm him using the hand to hand combat techniques I was trained with, closing my eyes so they could not trick me. I would take his weapon and then escape.

4b.) Marriage --> far away

6.Spider Solitaire

7. I did not play when I was seven, by seven I was being educated at a boarding school and was not allowed to play.

8. I would attempt to bind my ribs and administer as much first aide as I could on my own. Then I would - with minimal movement - create a signal fire and wait for someone to come past. If no one did I would begin a walk to the nearest village and risk puncturing my lungs.

9.No, I would not. There are no real famous people in my mind.

10. I desire nothing.

2. Bloodstain left from a severed head, not long after the victim has been killed.
3. I can see the door. I'd shoot him in the leg.
4a. Incest - Wrong.
4b. Marriage - Wedding bells.
4c. Apple - Fruit.
4d. Gorilla - Zoo.
4e. Acid - Cleaning.
4f. Yellow - Weak.
4g. Red - Dead.

10. I want to know what good you're doing, "N." What have you been doing all this time?

I see 'seven' here, but not the answer to question seven. The Cleaner of the legendary 'Killer 7' has never been seven?

Oh, wonderful. I always enjoy these types of surveys.

1.) Does 'emerald' count as a color?
2.) Two horses. Strangely, the first thing that came to mind were unicorns. But then I looked closer and noticed they didn't have horns. I'm not sure what I was thinking...
3.) Well, it depends... If it were my own world, I would have already made summoning preparations beforehand and I would be ready to call a Summon Spirit to my aid immediately. However, if it is not my own world, I suppose I would... Uhm... Scream, followed by a no-doubt failed attempt to knock the man off his feet.
4.)
4a.) Incest --> Immoral
4b.) Marriage --> Union
4c.) Apple --> Fruit
4d.) Gorilla --> ... Sorry, what? Never heard of that...
4e.) Acid --> pH
4f.) Yellow --> Flowers
4g.) Red --> Blood
4h.) Estate --> Mansion
4i.) Terrorism --> Death
4j.) Sane --> Insane
4k.) Igloo --> Ice
4l.) Magpie --> Collection of items
4m.) Objectivism --> Facts
4n.) Larceny --> Thievery
4o.) Lark --> Song
4p.) Evergreen --> Persistent
4q.) Harpy --> Half human/half bird creatures
5.) Seven.
6a.) Solitaire.
7.) I didn't play many games when I was young, but... On occasion, I'd play with marbles. I got easily bored with that, though.
8.) Again, this depends on whether it was done in my own world or not. If it was, I could send a Summon Spirit out to get help. If it wasn't... I'd sit down and wait for help, trying to look after my injury the best I can.
9.) Picture taken? You mean like a drawing or a painting? I don't see why not.
10.) I don't think I deserve anything. It was my pleasure, really.

Re: 4d

Wow. While I had considered animals varying greatly from world to world, I admit that I hadn't considered gorillas would be absent from the ecosystem: I hadn't considered gorillas at all.

You may thank your friend L for the fact that I'm filling this thing out as well.


1.) Red
2.) I can see a lot of things, but the first and best word to sum it up would be 'conflict'.
3.) I would use lightning based magic to catch the man off-guard, at the same time illuminating the room. I would then continue to fight, using both magic and physical attacks, until the man is unconscious. The gun, which I presume is some sort of weapon, would be taken by me and I would attempt to open that door once more. If the door does not open by my attempts, I would wait for the man to wake up and force him to open it for me.
4.)
4a.) Incest --> Wrong
4b.) Marriage --> Fiancée
4c.) Apple --> Healthy
4d.) Gorilla --> Never heard of that.
4e.) Acid --> Dissolve
4f.) Yellow --> Peace
4g.) Red --> Death
4h.) Estate --> Property
4i.) Terrorism --> Death
4j.) Sane --> Mind
4k.) Igloo --> Cold
4l.) Magpie --> Thief
4m.) Objectivism --> Logic
4n.) Larceny --> Thief
4o.) Lark --> Bird
4p.) Evergreen --> Flora
4q.) Harpy --> Type of monster commonly found in mountain regions.
5.) One.
6a.) Solitaire. Never heard of the other two.
7.) I didn't play games when I was seven. Nor any other age.
8.) Set up camp and use my communications device to let others know where I am. Twenty five miles is too far to walk when risking punctured lungs. Usually, I would also have some sort of healing item with me, though not even a Miracle Gel could fully heal fractured bones.
9.) No. I hardly see the point.
10.) I will let you know in a locked reply, after you read through my answers.

1.) What is your favourite colour? For those more concerned with their appearences: please make sure it is your favourite, not one that looks best on you.

Dark red.

2.) Please describe what you see in this sample from a common Rorschach test:

To be honest, as I passed by it on the network before reading, I thought perhaps it might be bone. Of course, it doesn't resemble the functional shape of any bones I know of. It also looks somewhat artsy, as though two dragons back to back, if I were to use my imagination.

3.) Imagine yourself in a box-shaped room with no windows. There is nothing inside it that you can tell: you can't see more than five feet in front of you. It is cold, the walls are made from steel, and you cannot get out. A door you were unable to see opens, the only indication that it is a door at all is the stream of light let in from a thin hallway. There is a man with a gun strapped to his hip and he approaches you with the intent to harm. The door closes and it is darkness again. How would you react?

The only natural reaction would be to defend oneself. If he had a gun strapped to his waist, I would hear him remove and load it if he were still in the room. If he wasn't, or he didn't remove the gun... well it would be unsettling to not know if I was alone or not. But standing there worrying won't solve anything, so I would search the room. The dark doesn't bother me.

4.) Please tell me what you associate with the following words. If you associate nothing, please tell me how you feel about them:
4a.) Incest --> It's not really my concern.
4b.) Marriage --> Happiness.
4c.) Apple --> Red.
4d.) Gorilla --> Hm... strength, perhaps?
4e.) Acid --> Corrosion.
4f.) Yellow --> Aged.
4g.) Red --> Garnet.
4h.) Estate --> A home.
4i.) Terrorism --> Unfortunate.
4j.) Sane --> Friends.
4k.) Igloo --> Cold.
4l.) Magpie --> Vega.
4m.) Objectivism --> Philosophy
4n.) Larceny --> Selfish.
4o.) Lark --> Bird.
4p.) Evergreen --> Enduring.
4q.) Harpy --> Myth.
5.) What is your favourite number? 9

6a.) If you had no other choice but to play one of these games, which would you play: Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, or FreeCell?
Solitaire, probably.

6b.) If your world contains none of these games, give a set of three generic games that belong to your world and which you prefer to play.

7.) Please describe a game that you enjoyed playing when you were seven.
I... suppose hide and seek.

8.) Imagine that you have been assaulted in the middle of a forest. The nearest village is twenty-five miles away. You have managed to kill your assailant, but it is possible the assault has left some of your ribs broken. If you move too much -- assuming your ribs are broken -- you may puncture your lungs. What do you do?

To the point of not being able to walk?
First, attempt to call for help. There might always be someone nearby, even if it were unlikely. Then I would attempt to work up some sort of splint with my clothing and items around me, and take shallow breaths to avoid expanding my lungs any more than need be. If the injuries were too great, however... My survival might very well be in jepoardy. Is there a river or stream nearby? I might attempt to float downstream on my back.

9.) Would you like having your picture taken with a famous person? If so, why? If not, why not?

It doesn't really matter to me. There are more important things in life.

10.) What do you believe you deserve for the completion of this survey?
I'm just curious what this will tell about me.

I apologise for the delay in response.

Re: 5

Why nine?

Re: 8

Thank you for your well-thought out response: I would not have considered floating downstream and I appreciate this new perspective to consider, although I am sure I will never be put in the position to put such an idea to use.

Re: 10

I will be honest and say this time it was not my intention to closely analyze answers. I was only curious.

But judging by your answers, I think you are a very removed person.

1. Blue.


2. It looks like two beasts, leaping in opposite directions.


3. I would die.

While I die, I'd probably wonder on what sort of brilliance could create a room in which every being can see precicely five feet in front of them, whether they're blind or whether they've got three times enhanced hearing.


4a. Incest --> Their choice, I suppose.
4b. Marriage --> Often painful, but usually worth said pain.
4c. Apple --> I haven't had one in... longer than you can remember.
4d. Gorilla --> Hmm. I've not a clue what this 'gorilla' is.
4e. Acid --> A nasty substance, usually referenced in the attacks of those I once opposed.
4f. Yellow --> The hair of one whom I long ago mourned the loss of.
4g. Red --> Bloodshed.
4h. Estate --> I once heard a saying... 'The larger the estate, the smaller the brain.'
4i. Terrorism --> Often as a last resort for a good cause.
4j. Sane --> Hard to find these days, especially where I come from.
4k. Igloo --> Children and their naivity.
4l. Magpie --> Dinner.
4m. Objectivism --> Often better than those who purely follow their hearts, but rarely correct.
4n. Larceny --> Comes in many shapes and forms.
4o. Lark --> Peace, or the wish for it.
4p. Evergreen --> Winter.
4q. Harpy --> Troublesome beast, weak against earth-based attacks, strong against wind and lightning, generally brown, usually found in the Balacruf Mausoleum.


5. Two.


6. Solitare is the only of them that I've heard of.


7. When I was seven... I think I liked to go exploring, dig up or look for treasure and such.


8. I'd probably die, depending on what I was doing in the middle of the forest and it's importance to those I care for.


9. No. I find it trivial and pointless, and most famous people I know are fairly stupid. Besides, pictures circulate.


10. I... I'd like some sleep and a good meal among my companions. But as for something you can accomplish, I'd like one of the strongest healing herbs, medicines, gels, whatever your world has. Just one will do.

Re: 3

It is unfortunate, but every sentient creature in my world suffers this handicap and would be this way should they find themselves locked in a box-like room.

Re: 5

Is there a reason why you like two more than others?

Re: 8

You are very blunt: I appreciate that.

Re: 10

My world does not contain healing items: it's strange that other worlds seem to be so full of them.

But it does contain medicine which dulls pain, if that is in your interest.

1.) What is your favourite colour? For those more concerned with their appearences: please make sure it is your favourite, not one that looks best on you.

Today it's white.

2.) Please describe what you see in this sample from a common Rorschach test:

Do you remember Linda? Was she still there six years ago? I remember she got angry painting once, and threw her brushes down.

It didn't look like this. She must have left the Orphanage by now.

Did she become a good painter?

That was her dream, she would tell anyone.


3.) Imagine yourself in a box-shaped room with no windows. There is nothing inside it that you can tell: you can't see more than five feet in front of you. It is cold, the walls are made from steel, and you cannot get out. A door you were unable to see opens, the only indication that it is a door at all is the stream of light let in from a thin hallway. There is a man with a gun strapped to his hip and he approaches you with the intent to harm. The door closes and it is darkness again. How would you react?

Present circumstances make any answer I could give to this question entirely unfair and perhaps irrelevant should those circumstances change.

4.) Please tell me what you associate with the following words. If you associate nothing, please tell me how you feel about them:
4a.) Incest --> Disinterest.
4b.) Marriage --> Church bells.
4c.) Apple --> Juice.
4d.) Gorilla --> Picture book.
4e.) Acid --> Forensics.
4f.) Yellow --> Lemon sorbet.
4g.) Red --> Cherries.
4h.) Estate --> The Wammy's House.
4i.) Terrorism --> Intolerable.
4j.) Sane --> Underrated.
4k.) Igloo --> Italian ice.
4l.) Magpie --> Thief.
4m.) Objectivism --> Invaluable.
4n.) Larceny --> Deception.
4o.) Lark --> Songbird.
4p.) Evergreen --> Christmas cake.
4q.) Harpy --> Angels of Death.
5.) What is your favourite number? 13

6a.) If you had no other choice but to play one of these games, which would you play: Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, or FreeCell? FreeCell.

7.) Please describe a game that you enjoyed playing when you were seven. I Spy.

8.) Imagine that you have been assaulted in the middle of a forest. The nearest village is twenty-five miles away. You have managed to kill your assailant, but it is possible the assault has left some of your ribs broken. If you move too much -- assuming your ribs are broken -- you may puncture your lungs. What do you do?

If I have a communication device, I call for assistance. Failing that, it looks like I have some careful walking to do.

9.) Would you like having your picture taken with a famous person? If so, why? If not, why not?

No. Photographs are a liability.

10.) What do you believe you deserve for the completion of this survey?

I want your toys out of my room. You can have the room back when I'm dead. Yes, I know I don't use it often. That is also beside the point.
