Identity Reboot [post-Round 10]

[Haschel Cedricson]

I just noticed Ari's identity and I know it's against the rules to request topless pics of a scummer but

come on.

Mods please take this post as the joke that it is.

Lmfao nice Haschel!

I honestly laugh at it when I see it in the mirror occasionally hecause it's scarily accurate!

For full story on how I killed my teacher...

When I was in year 4 (so aged about 7 or 8) and I had this teacher who didn't like me very much and treated me differently to the other kids, very small petty things such as taking away rewards from me and taking birthday sweets given to me by another student. After a lot of complaining he eventually made me miss swimming classes as a punishment because he was annoyed about all the complaints.
That day I was pulled out of the school and I went to a different school, a few weeks later I had heard that he got fired from the school, had a heart attack from the shock and died. I then saw another kid from that school who called me a murderer for killing their favourite teacher

I know that Ari can grow great facial hair so I think he'd be quite peludo on the chest as well. To be fair, chest hair should've been on the benevolent side. But I'm glad I split it up this way since my initial guesses for this one were Radja or SleepyKrew...



I'm going to guess on this.

Aristophanes has chest hair in the shape of the bat symbol

Thanks Ari for playing. I know of you but I don't think our paths have crossed too often. You seem like a top notch guy and you're someone I'd definitely enjoy getting to know better.

Also, Pablito, I try not to comment too much when the game is on in case I accidentally influence things, but these made me smile and I hope we cross paths more often!
You're pretty cool!

[CreativeMod1]

Oh also

/In as stranger xD (although I'm sure Ariel knows this given that I've given her a list of like 4 more identities xD)

[pablito]

Thanks all for the fun game. I put too much weight in certain contexts so I missed some in the end.

Off to be a stranger again!

[Equinox]

Sorry, pablito. I was not sure how to answer your question because I honestly completely forgot what puzzle the flag was supposed to solve. All I remembered was that the pole was a key that opened something else. The flag itself was because it was a classroom setting, and, as stupid as it sounds, it was my first time outside of the U.S. and I was fascinated at how different it was to see a Canadian flag on a pole in a classroom. It kind of broke my brain somehow (and I stared at flags the entire trip). I wasn't sure how much detail to include about the flag itself because I had interpreted the question to be about the puzzle.

Aristophanes	Did not learn the correct way to tie shoelaces until after college
CaptainMeme	Has sued a fitness center
CreativeMod1	Heard 'Old Town Road' on the radio, then looked outside and saw someone riding a horse
Haschel Cedricson	Illegally crossed an international border on foot in the sun during the day
lilith2013	Most of their time spent playing Saints Row 2 involved driving at safe speeds and customizing their taxi

Feel free to begin with a match attempt, using a lifeline (Split Identity, Tri-dentity or Double Dip), or using your first available question. Good luck, and let me know if you need any clarification!

(If you're a stranger in the current round and notice someone else's identity applies to you, please let me know that privately!)

[racefan12]

Hey!

I'm gonna start with Split Identity, and since I'm lazy, I'll just do a split of the top 6 identities on the list (through D
Saints Row 2) from the bottom 6.

[Ariel]

Here is your split:

[racefan12]

Okay so I'm gonna ramble a bit here partly to organize my thoughts and partly so everyone can laugh later about how wrong all of this is going to be.

Top group:
I feel like I remember reading something in the Mish Mash Discord about growing plants during the shutdown (maybe Mina?) but I could be totally imagining it.
Saints Row 2 safe driving sounds like possibly an Ariel thing.
None of these immediately jump to mind to connect with Haschel, though maaaaaybe suing the fitness center?
I'm also not sure who in that group would be most likely to see someone riding a horse - maybe lilith?
pablito seems like a fairly extensive traveler so I could see him being the international border one.

In the bottom group, I'm thinking that the group photo one isn't Vash or Meme.
I could see Vash being the vinyl record one, and I could see Meme maybe being the swimming one.

The other strangers I don't know well enough to even guess at.

So uh yeah I have a question and I'm gonna use it. I think I have a better chance of getting the top group sorted so I'm gonna start there.

pablito: Which international border were you crossing and why did you cross it?

[pablito]

I was travelling from Colombia to Ecuador. I was just crossing at the normal highway crossing. You are supposed to get off the Colombian bus, go to the customs house there, get your exit stamp and then walk across the border into Ecuador. I did that, but then I didn't get my entry stamp when I walked into Ecuador and just got on the shuttle right away since it looked like it was leaving toward the bus terminal in the next city over. Turns out that was an illegal border crossing, because after I got on the 3pm bus toward Quito, the border police came on my bus, took me off, and aggressively told me I had illegally crossed, because I never got the entry stamp after entering, so they took me off the bus and explained what I did, since I was obviously trying to illegally immigrate. They detained my backpack and set me in a police car for a few hours while they tried to get more people off the other buses.

It wasn't until maybe 8pm or so that we found a "common language" to help me ask for forgiveness, and then afterward they were all smiles and were telling me all about their lives and about their beautiful country and even gave me tips for when I went to Quito. I even asked them to take a picture arresting me inside the cop car and they obliged and gave me a car ride back to the immigration terminal to get my forgotten stamp. Then I got back to the bus toward Quito around dinner time and arrived in Quito late at night and I didn't even eat lunch or dinner that night because of the ordeal, but luckily there was food nearby the hostel I was staying at, so I got a quick burrito and had a fun story to tell everyone, but not after doing the typical pablito thing and drinking lots, because my nerves were shot after that ordeal.

[racefan12]

For me, getting to hear stories like that is almost a bigger benefit to asking questions than getting more information about the game is.

A tiny part of me is actually a little skeptical of a story with that much detail, but I'm not gonna overthink it.

True, I have lied with stories with lots of detail before. Anyway, good sleuthing!

/in stranger for next round

[racefan12]

I'd like to use Tri-dentity on "Heard 'Old Town Road' on the radio, then looked outside and saw someone riding a horse"

[Ariel]

That identity belongs to one of {Ariel, CreativeMod1, Mina}. You must solve this identity before attempting to solve others.

[racefan12]

Well Ariel and Mina were the two people I was thinking would be least likely to fit that identity, so I'm gonna go ahead and take a stab that

CreativeMod1 saw someone riding a horse while listening to Old Town Road

They do still have horses across the pond, after all...

[Ariel]

That is your Mistaken Identity.

Lol, I didn't even know the song, however I did Google it in prep for a question xD

[racefan12]

Well darn.

I'm not even sure what question I could ask to help out with this one so I'm gonna go ahead and try to

match Ariel to Old Town Road

because... my gut tells me that's the more likely choice.

[Ariel]

Mina actually saw a horse after listening to "Old Town Road".

Haschel: what was the outcome of you suing the fitness center?

[Haschel Cedricson]

I am actually not allowed to get into specifics, but the short version is they tried to claim that the membership contract required all disputes to be resolved through arbitration, a state law preempted arbitration clauses for the issue in question, and they settled for a small but legally unspecified amount.
