Okay, re-asking the car question but to Vash only.

So it was fall break in my senior year of college, not long before I joined the site actually, and I had first gone home for fall break. The plan was for me to take the Trail Blazer that we had for 15 years or so back to TCNJ with me since I had been complaining forever about not having a car there and we had gotten a new equinox not too long ago. However, first I wanted to take a detour and spend a few days with my girlfriend who lived in Rhode Island at the time. My parents instead wanted me to have the trail blazer double checked by our mechanic Harry over the weekend, but eh, it had run long enough and I figured it'd just never die at this point, that was a bad idea. Now mind you I was used to long drives at the time (I had driven for 6 hours or so all the way down to W&M for debate earlier that semester even) but the cars I had driven were always relatively new, and the Trail Blazer was not, and uhhh yeah that played a factor there. So on the way to Rhode Island (about halfway there iirc) I had heard a clicking noise from the engine going up, but paid no mind, the Trail Blazer usually did things like that and it always worked out. So I kept on trucking, this was yet another bad idea. After a while it was running slower and I had to give it even more gas (and it did not like that let me tell ya), but I was 20 minutes away so I figured I'd have it checked out later. So I finally pull into my girlfriend's driveway and turn off the engine. I don't know how long passes but we finally get on the subject of how I finally have the Trail Blazer, and I mention the weird things that happened on the journey and uh...yeah she looked worried, cause unlike me she actually knew the signs of an engine overheating. So we went outside and I tried to start it and it uh...I do not want to relive the sound that came out. So yeah, engine had overheated pretty badly and the Trail Blazer was officially dead, rest of my time there was still pretty swell though. And that's the story of how I had to take a bus back to TCNJ from Rhode Island, well the backstory to that I guess but *shrug*.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Vash, why did you hate your friend enough to buy them a Hannity book?

Because I'm a fucking troll and it cost like 3 bucks at a used book store. Though they uhhh....returned it to me and I still don't know what to do with it, welp.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Uhhhh, I have no idea how to find that, all I know is it's like 25 years old and my parents gave it to me when I moved.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay, so I'll do deep research but first I'm gonna split. Probably by taking 6 people and the top two I suspect them of being and making sure those are divided in half.

Mina I feel would be either MBTI or the cell phone thing so also gonna want to split those up.
pabs sounds like a dead ringer for playing dodgeball or the pool one
N I don't know too much, but jelly fish makes a lot of sense for an australian and Sucky Oranges given their identities have related to something strange or not strange they didn't realize
Jumble gives me vibes of the 98 but might be the puppy?
xof being either head cold or pizza feels right but I'm very prepared for that to be a complete whiff
And that leaves the police officer and dishwasher.

Let's

Split

it like this:
Pizza, MBTI, Exam, Dodgeball, Dishwasher, Jellyfish in one

The rest in the other.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay, so it's likely optimal to split this into two games of 6. I feel questions should be able to narrow down the top grouping, especially since I know those people decently well, and a majority of my lifelines are better on the bottom group. Furthermore, Tridentity is best spent narrowing down a group into a much smaller trio and while it might have been better to use before splitting (since there'd be a higher probability of "unlikely" matches occurring) what is done is done.

Anyway, let's

Tridentity on the Police officer

[VashtaNeurotic]

Hmmmmm, okay so while it could be any of them, I don't want to use my mistaken identity or double dip this early. I feel that meme's identities tend to have more formal wording and while police officer is used in the U.S, policeman is more likely to be used. Also it just seems like a very meme thing to do, whether on purpose or accident. Hopefully it's not Jumble or IPS but yeah

Captainmeme scared that police officer

.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Hmmm Question to Jumble

What did you do to make that poor police officer scream? Please be as detailed as possible.

[VashtaNeurotic]

given the lack of answer...

gonna guess IPS then

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay so let's move onto the interview. Given the question about professionalism I'd assume it was more likely to be a job interview than a college interview. If that's true that eliminates meme and jumble (since jumble I don't think has had either and afaik meme has only dealt with stuff for university and wouldn't have an embarassing ringtone). It

could

be Haschel but knowing where he works I wouldn't expect an interview to contain that question.

I'm gonna use a question for this.

Plotinus, what's the story behind that ringtone and interview?

[VashtaNeurotic]

Okay, probably a bit careless but I really want that story to be true so

Plot had the unprofessional ringtone

[VashtaNeurotic]

Double Dip on the cell phone between N and Haschel

[VashtaNeurotic]

Apologies for the wait

Yo N, what is Sucky Oranges?

[VashtaNeurotic]

Captainmeme same question

Sorry for forgetting about this

[VashtaNeurotic]

Guess Meme for the Sucky Oranges

His makes sense that we wouldn't realize it was a family thing.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Plot, describe the pool jumping AND arm scraping in detail please.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Let's

pick plot for the pool thing

, the arm scraping thing seems to make sense.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Plot has the puppy

[VashtaNeurotic]

Put numbers on the puppy, leaving N on the pool

[VashtaNeurotic]

Important question to all 6 remaining players:

What is your favorite piece of sonic fan art, and can you please DM it to me or share it in thread?

[VashtaNeurotic]

Spoiler:

This is a sonic that is stronk, that is swole.

Note the person who posted this sonic as the dodgeball player

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

Because it turns out there is a lot more training in swimming than I thought. I've swum my entire life, mostly in my lake at home but never really got into swimming competitively for a while, but then I went to college and was looking for something to join my freshman year. And at first I didn't really think much of swimming, but hey we had a pool and ofc I was going to use it. Ended up running into one of the swim team members there and we kind of hit it off. So I came to a practice, turns out, I like just laying back in the water not swimming laps. I was ridiculously winded halfway through the first practice and decided that maybe I should stick to recreational swimming, so I did.
