Identity Reboot [post-Round 10]

[Mina]

Yep, I was literally just eating at a Subway's of all places, in the middle of the city. They were playing Old Town Road, I looked outside...and down the street was what looked like some kind of police officer in a yellow vest, riding a horse. It was a huge WTF moment.

lilith and CreativeMod: Why did you sue the fitness center?

[lilith2013]

My family sued a gym near us to get out of the membership contract. You're supposed to have 3 days after signing the contract to change your mind but they didn't uphold that.

[CreativeMod1]

When I was 4 years old, they had a kids club I went to. In a soft padded play area there was a bolt in the floor that was exposed. Cracked my head open on it.

He wasn't even dressed as a Mountie or anything! It's also the only time I've seen anyone on a horse in that city. It was such a bizarre coincidence.

[racefan12]

I'm thinking the identity wouldn't have been worded quite the same way if CreativeMod's story were true, so I'm gonna

match lilith to suing the fitness center

.

[Ariel]

Bad news: It's not lilith. Good news: Your next match attempt will either be correct or win you the phone-a-friend lifeline.

Well now this is just totally embarrassing.

Might as well get the extra help though.

Match Ariel to suing the fitness center.

[Ariel]

I didn't sue the fitness center, so you have determined my PoE that CreativeMod1 did! You also unlock phone-a-friend.

[CreativeMod1]

Lol, dunno what made my story so unbelievable xD

Full story makes it even worse for the fitness center, the play room that we were allowed into was just reopened and we were the first group back in after another injury, there was loads of soft walls and padding everywhere except from 1 bolt that was missed. I was playing on a hand swing thing when I fell off and landed on the bolt cracking my head open.
To make matters worse they didn't call an ambulance but instead called my mum to take me to the hospital (Which would be standard over here because free health-care) and then afterwards the fitness center barely spoke to my parents for about a year until a new manager took over (we still at this point didn't even know how I had hurt my head) When the new manager came in they let us see the room and we found out what caused the injury, we sued them but settled it out of court for £4,000 which I wasn't allowed to touch until I was 18.

[racefan12]

I guess I just didn't think of a 4 year old being the person suing.

I'll double dip Ariel and lilith for Saints Row 2 because that doesn't sound like something Haschel would do.

[Ariel]

Yep, I was the humble taxi driver.

Haschel: How did you tie your shoelaces before learning the correct way?

[Haschel Cedricson]

Basically the steps were the same as the correct way but I'd have the starting knot tied in the same direction as the finishing bow, which makes the knot a granny knot instead of a bow knot and it becomes undone a lot more easily.

[racefan12]

I didn't think either of these belonged to Haschel but one of them has to.

Match Haschel to tying shoelaces

[Ariel]

You are correct that Haschel got better at tying shoes after college! By process of elimination, you also know that lilith was not a quarantine green thumb. You have ample assistance for your final match attempt!

I'm gonna have fun with this and ask each stranger a question about the identity that's beside them

Aristophanes: How many people did you end up actually hitting with the lacrosse stick?

CaptainMeme: How did you come to be someone who listened to vinyl records?

SJReaver: Why did you end up swapping college majors?

VashtaNeurotic: Why didn't you want to join the competitive swimming scene?

Wickedestjr: How many people were in the group photo in total?

Zaphkael: What game was the tournament for, and how did you end up doing?

I'd also like to

ask xofelf to be my phone-a-friend

, if she's cool with that.

[xofelf]

It has been a while since I've been the default phone-a-friend, so I am happy to do it.

I also want to let everyone answer questions before I give you the one I 100% know.

[Aristophanes]

I'm gonna have fun with this and ask each stranger a question about the identity that's beside them

Aristophanes: How many people did you end up actually hitting with the lacrosse stick?

Haha that's a good way to do the questioning! I like it!

I only actually hit 3 people with the stick because I ended up feeling bad when I did.

The first time I tried it I used way too much power and I really regretted it the rest of the season. That team ended up winning the season so I guess it worked out but still.

The other two times were because I actually had a bit of a temper when I was younger and when I would get knocked over or felt I was being targeted I would retaliate within the rules and just go all out. So these two were retaliatory whacks that I still kind of feel bad about.

[Zaphkael]

Zaphkael: What game was the tournament for, and how did you end up doing?

It was a tournament for Hearthstone which, back when this happened, was still fairly new. I was eliminated in the first round (surprise surprise) but I did get to play two games against respected players on a fancy account with all cards available in gold, and 100$ in my pocket.

I may or may not have spent more than that on Hearthstone since that happened, though
Even though I got my ass handed to me back then, I liked the game and started actually playing it (and still do!)

[CaptainMeme]

CaptainMeme: How did you come to be someone who listened to vinyl records?

My dad had a record player buried in the attic that I found when I was helping clear out. Seemed pretty cool to me at the time, so I asked if I could keep it and parents were fine with it! I didn't get any records for it until about a year later, but since then I've become a bit of an avid collector

[Wickedestjr]

Wickedestjr: How many people were in the group photo in total?

It was just nine people in the photo, including me. That was the whole purpose; everyone in the photo happened to share the same first name.
