Identity Reboot [post-Round 10]

[StrangerCoug]

Oh, and /in again as stranger

[Plotinus]

Interesting fact: Plotinus's Duolingo account, which hadn't been logged into for a long time, apparently has Plotinus as working on exactly 28 languages and a reverse tree. We chatted about whether the identity felt true of Plot or not and concluded that the verb didn't seem accurate to how Plot views and uses Duolingo. But that was a very good initial guess, and a tough call on my end.

My 28 are Arabic, Catalan (from Spanish), Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, French, German, Greek, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Irish, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Navajo, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish (the one my reverse tree is in), Swedish, Vietnamese, and Welsh, and I've been tempted to add Hungarian and/or Scottish Gaelic (the latter of which recently came out) to make 29 or 30. What were Plotinus's?

I think mine were "all the ones that were available at the last time i was looking at it"

Ones with more than 1000 XP: German, Hungarian, English (from Hungarian), Spanish, Italian, Dutch
More than 500 XP: Japanese, Swedish, French, Greek, Russian, Esperanto
More than 100 XP: Polish, Turkish, Norwegian (Bokmål), Welsh, Romanian, Vietnamese, Ukranian, Irish
Less than 100 XP: Korean, Swahili, Portuguese, Danish, Navajo, Hawaiian, Indonesian, High Valyrian, Hebrew

Of those, I'd be comfortable claiming that I can:

• understand most of what I hear/read and produce arbitrary sentences in English, Hungarian, a few other languages that Duolingo doesn't have
  
• produce at least one useful sentence without the help of a dictionary in: German, Russian, Italian
  
• understand a surprising amount by relying on cognates given that I can't produce any sentences in: Polish, Ukranian, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, French
  
• produce non useful sentences by quoting song lyrics in: Spanish, Swedish, Romanian

[Menalque]

Duolingo is kind of fun and a suitable outlet for boredom or killing some time but it doesn't mesh very well with my learning style; I completed the German tree but if I were to visit Germany I would not be able to hold a conversation. I don't get bored very often but if I got really sick again I might reinstall it.

Tbf i don’t view duolingo so much as a tool for being able to speak a language as much as one to allow you to accelerate the pace at which you become conversational once you start working on that

[StrangerCoug]

I've been tempted to add Hungarian and/or Scottish Gaelic (the latter of which recently came out) to make 29 or 30.

Decided ah, do them both and make it 30.

Dang, only Korina posted in the relationships thread.
Judging by the phrasing of it, I think it's present tense gf/bf so I suspect it's not him.

I'll keep my knowledge of Vash's love life to myself but I'm ruling him out on that one too. xD

IPS I remember recently joking his girlfriend was a pokemon or something. Was he playing Pokemon Go at the club? hmmm

I know literally nothing about you Saladman, and scanning your history of posts got me nothing lol. I just feel like gf/bf one isn't something someone puts as their very first identity.

ehhhhhh
YOLO

Radja wooing his girlfriend at the club.

[KittyMo]

Radja met their significant other by going out of their comfort zone to that event! (side note, editing down identities that are like 4 sentences long is hard)

I’m signed up for a GTKAS, soon there’s gonna be Get to Know a Salad

[xofelf]

Crocheting is a very good way to be able to keep my hands busy so I can focus on listening to things, which is really why I never finish anything, the projects aren't for completing really.

[Korina]

It would’ve been a boyfriend for me. I’m gay, so it couldn’t be a gf.

[Fluminator]

That should be a fun read! I don't think I'll need it for this though because the remaining 3 in your group are all American and I believe they lived their whole life there.
So

Mr. Salad is the talented TV star

I almost guessed you before the split!

It would’ve been a boyfriend for me. I’m gay, so it couldn’t be a gf.

The identity left it open. Don't worry I know which one is yours

[KittyMo]

Saladman was in the young talent program in their home country!

[Saladman27]

I was horrible at all 3 workshops.

[Iprobablysuck]

I am very single so idk what you’re talking about re: that joke

[Fluminator]

Wait thinking strategically right now.

I had a guess, but it's better to do my tridentity right away!

[Fluminator]

Let's TRIDENTIFY the magical orange!

[KittyMo]

Let's TRIDENTIFY the magical orange!

That identity belongs to one of CaptainMeme, Haschel Cedricson, and pablito. You must solve it before attempting to solve others.

[Korina]

The identity left it open. Don't worry I know which one is yours

If you know which identity is mine, why don't you ask me a question about it to confirm

[Fluminator]

Meme is not an evil sorcerer so I'm ruling him out.

Question for Haschel and Pabs:
Tell me about your repertoire of magic tricks and how often you do them!

[KittyMo]

I will allow this question despite the lack of question mark

I am not cruel

[Fluminator]

I'm going in aggressively in hopes of throwing them off!
The mafia player in me still lurks!!
