Identity

[KittyMo]

Spoiler:

Faraday is not often mistaken as a different gender over the phone.

StrangerCoug, however, is. Congrats on being $50,000 tier.

Strangers	Identities
Apricity	Can wiggle only their left ear
Faraday	Had a double canine tooth
KittyMo	Played mafia for the first time at a religious summer camp, and then years later was a counselor for a science camp at the same location
piegirln	Spent their eighth birthday in the hospital
SleepyKrew	Taught their cousin (now 10 years old) various styles of Japanese sitting

Your round is officially over (and yours indeed was the quickest), but it'd be cool if you took an unofficial guess at the rest. If you get them all correct, I'll mark as such on the Leaderboard. You have 4 questions you may use to help out if you'd like.

Hope you enjoyed your round.

Faraday - Hospital
KittyMo - mafia
Apracity - Cousin
piegirln - canine
Sleepykrew - Left ear wiggle

I keep wondering what happen if I left out the digimon out of the split identity.

Spoiler: mine

it wasn't even intentional. I tend to visit my extended family in KY a lot, and whenever I do I spend a lot of time with my aforementioned cousin, who I'm close enough with that most of us tend to see us as siblings rather than cousins. I'd tend to sit on the floor with her a lot, and me being me and being way more obsessed with this kind of thing than I should be, I thought it'd be fun if I tried out sitting "seiza" style (kneeling and sitting on your heels) and "wariza" style (essentially W-sitting, which to my knowledge is not healthy and not something I think anyone actually does, but you see it a lot in anime and shit), because why the hell not.

cue my surprise when after I did it a few times, she started to pick it up and do it herself. I wondered "where the hell did she learn this" and then I was like "oh, wait". <_>

I thought it was totally obvious this was me because who else would be that obsessed over something like this. lmao

[StrangerCoug]

Funny thing is, I sound more masculine to myself when I talk quieter xD

[Realeo]

I thought it was totally obvious this was me because who else would be that obsessed over something like this. lmao.

Say that to Cephrir about Digimon. It really shocked me.

[xofelf]

I would have been shocked if Ceph was anything else on that list tbqh.

[Realeo]

I crossed Cephrir from the interview thingy because do hospital interview their psychologist??? I imagined that he's kinda introvert so I am expecting him to be a book geek(since his GTKAS seems very philosophic.) When he say "I watched it when I was 9" then I went dammit. I didn't consider that in calculation.

I was banking on Cephrir on the car incident because I would assume that due to high level of PTSD in the Army, he will have enough money to buy a car with so many appointments.

I thought you were the most obvious one of all

I guessed wrong for Ceph when I saw the options

I got in trouble at all grades for reading books in class tbh, I thought that was something everyone experienced!

[Cheery Dog]

The only one I knew on the list was N

[Apricity]

Idk why I can't wiggle my right ear.

[KittyMo]

Next round will start Wednesday afternoon PST at the latest. I've been poking some former strangers that haven't played in a while to try to diversify things a bit more.

[N]

StrangerCoug also has a fridge with 3 doors, so N's ID got switched pregame.

Your fridge also looks like this??

Spoiler:

[StrangerCoug]

Ours is a French-door refrigerator, which is commonly considered to have three (in some models four) doors.

Welcome to Identity, piegirl! Here are your strangers and their identities in alphabetical order:

Strangers	Identities
animorpherv1	Came in second place in their high school trivia bowl
Haschel Cedricson	Competed in Spelling Bee 4 times but never qualified for the national level.
lilith2013	Earns ~$30/hour
Mina	Had to go to the hospital over a broken foot during a school trip
N	Has a fridge filled with donuts
Postie	Has participated in a few musicals including The Sound of Music and Oliver
Radja	Is massively uncomfortable with leaving any thread in their egosearch unread
Realeo	Knows all the colours in Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat off by heart
Shadoweh	Knows all the lyrics to Phantom of the Opera
StrangerCoug	Occasionally drinks a vodka-chocolate milk mix drink
xofelf	Was caught cheating on a math test in the third grade
Yiley	Works at a retail job despite having a Masters degree

You have four lifelines available: Double Dip, Tri-Identity, Split Identity, and Mistaken Identity. See the OP for details. If not used after you have correctly made 8 matches and earned $75,000, these lifelines will be revoked. Following three consecutive incorrect match attempts, you will have the opportunity to Phone a Friend (bonus lifeline).

You also have a question that you can pose to a stranger of your choice about an identity for your choice. The stranger will answer as though it is true regardless of whether it is, and as such, it will be up to you to evaluate the response. You will gain another question to use after each match attempt and may bank them to use later if you prefer. However, you will lose any unused questions at the 8 correct matches mark (though, following that, you still accumulate them as normal.)

Feel free to begin with a match attempt, using a lifeline, or using the available question.

[pieguyn]

some cursory research suggests

xofelf has participated in The Sound of Music/Oliver?

[pieguyn]

I believe Mina is the person in the second group who is most associated with musicals, so I'm also going to guess

Mina knows all the colors in Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat?

[KittyMo]

Both are correct!

my intuition tells me that

Postie is the egosearch person?

[KittyMo]

That is also correct.
