Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 08:45 pm  okay roger how about I check back here about 9:30 and keep checking back after that? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 08:46 pm  Great question HIMAYs will respond. Roger before u come back from dinner I'll really try have my costume ready. |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 08:46 pm  I'm headed out, and when I get back will answer those questions...they are excellent questions by the way!! May, would you go on for an interview?? Vyk, I'll see you in a bit!!! I'm looking forward to an evening of posting for a couple of hours after I get back. |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 08:47 pm  Vyk--figure about 10:00-10:15 |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 09:57 pm  Hi Roger, can you believe it it's taken me a whole hour! to do that challenge. Geez it takes time. Well finally done! That's it! Its 10pm roger, i'm gonna post this than scroll up and start on HImays questions while I wait for you. |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:06 pm  roger I'm reposting Himays questions incase we get the lst posts archived soon. OK, Vyk....here's something I would like to know. Both you and Roger chose not to post REAL pictures of yourselves. Why is that? And would you be willing to describe yourselves so that the world can get a better image of who they have been watching for a month?? Also, if CBS News decided to have the players on the Morning Show, would you go and what would you tell the world?? I'll see you guys tomorrow....sweet dreams of freedom! |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:12 pm  Hi Vyk--I'm back! So, how are you doing? I saw your costume. Going with the gender approach are we? LOL I would have been better of centering a clip art of the devil or an angel and going with that..at least I couldn't have screwed that one up. hehe Looks like pretty good timing on my part as far as when you got the challenge done. Shall you answer May's questions first, or should I?? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:18 pm  Hey Roger, I just started answering himays question and thought I'd save it and see if u are back. Roger, if i knew tht clipart wud be so hard i wud never have started!!! |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:24 pm  Vyk--ROFLMAO---I know!! That sucked. I got started, tried to do something else, figured I'd be able to get it done sometime about 2041. Figured that wouldn't quite do it. Kept going with a different idea, then realized if I squinted really hard there was a dog's face. So I finished to that end, posted, an fell off my chair laughing at myself and a busted ass dog! After that it was just a matter of taking the abuse I so richly deserve. LOL At least I gave everyone something to post about. I can see the headlines--"Grown Man Screws Up Dog Face" |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:25 pm  OKay HiMays, I did say why I didn't use a real picture before earlier in the game, but I don't mind saying it again. (it cud have been in that optics/vyk clarified folder) First, Luke also didn't post a picture of himself. When I first began using the internet 7 years ago, it was new. There were many hackers around at that time. I chose AOL by accident, I got a disk in the mail. Free hours so I thought I'd try it. It seemed user friendly. I liked it. In those days, there were many informational messages - don't reveal too much about yourself, cuz hackers and stalkers are rampant. I took whatever precautions were suggested to ensure, no one could hack or spam me, whatever. I heard of chatrooms and porn spamming. So I didn't leave a profile for my screen name. Soon OJ Trial began, I found a CTV chatroom to discuss the legalities of the case. Over a year probably 5-10,000 people went thru that chat room. Many ppl coming in were those who hacked into AOL. They were credit card # thieves, etc. I didn't want to take any risk, so I was extremely cautious about where I lived etc. (I'll post this now cuz roger is waiting and then continue further) |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:29 pm  ROFLMAO BACK ROGER ON DOG FACE. I think Host thought we'd be bored and gave us a difficult thing to do!!! As it turned out, I kept thinking all day what to do and how. As I said earlier I REALLY procrastinated. Then when I saw it took a whole damn hour!! I thought u'd go for dinner, I do the damn thing and then catch up on posts in general discussions. NO was not to Be! And you wonder why I said, I've only dressed in halloween costume once!!!! anyways, i'm gonna continue that first response to Himays, I imagine u began yours also. Hopefully our conversational timing will be right |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:38 pm  PartII for HiMays (and Roger) Also during those days, the area I lived in I had to dial into aol and they charged you for the amount of time u were online. there was no such thing as unlimited access. Many people on AOL got hacked into for their time use and their billing accounts skyrocketed. But, the main thing was, as I said, I don't come from a large center such as Spokane, or Sanfrancisco, NewYorkCity - etc. The area I'm from is probably way smaller than the town Roger is from. I have always been cautious in my real life about giving out too much information. (i.e. when u use credit card some stores will reqst ur telephone# - you shud always refuse to give it). It stems from a course I took about 15yrs ago on self defence and protecting yourself. Back online, there are millions of users, we really don't know who anyone is - anyone can "role" play. I can be talking to you and give you info about me, and you could be the countries worst serial killer. (worst case scenario). So the question I would ask myself: Why would I give out and post details of my self to unknowns, when some of it I wudn't share in my real life. It is not a safe thing in my opinion to publish real life pictures on the net. Too many weirdos are sitting out there just looking for those types of things. I give the information I need to give, and the rest is nobody's business, unless they ask me specifically, and I am willing to share it. |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:44 pm  I looked at who gave a picture and who didn't. Did: May, Moon, Zeb, Xenia, Tali (Gail) Didn't: Arreal, Luke, Roger, Vyk, Mantasic Interesting that all but one woman did, and all but one man didn't--don't know if that means anything. My reasons are more organic, as it were. First, I don't have access to a scanner, so unless my computer has a pot for a picture to be inserted, I'm out of luck there. Next, the most recent picture of me was taken for work--it's 7 years old (although it is of me). The most nonwork picture of me is 9 years old--although I don't have that one---the ex has all the photos. So, I could have used the work picture if I had a scanner, and would have, although would need to indicate that it is indeed dated. Also, the dated picture is not accurate of the description below---I was 190, in great shape (9% body fat)resting pulse of 40, had a full beard (although still no hair pretty much). A description of me: At this time in my life, I'm 5'11", right about 250 (yes, out of shape and overweight--all those hours at work and not working out). Balding (mostly), broad sloping shoulders, deep set eyes that are very blue, wide chest (in or out of shape, big legs (in or out of shape), kind of a round face, with a moustache. Why did I pick the picture you see? I love Bloom County and have always related to opus. The picture was copied off a site, and represents what I was looking for in here--a relaxing time with hopefully good people. Would I do an interview? Sure! In case you ask why it's been so long since I've had a picture taken---I like being on the other side of the lens. I avoid breaking people's lens' that way! |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:50 pm  So HiMays to make another "longwinded" post short. I received the following link to a search for an "internet killer" I will post it here for you to view if you wish. Being a woman, this should interest you. ABCNEWS.com : Police Search Home of Slayings Suspect I am vague about my specific location, etc. for my own protection and my family's protection. Too many nutcrackers out there. (afterthought - I have a small handful of friends over the years that have become as real friends to me. It's taken 7 years of careful conversations. I wud consider them my closest friends in my "real Life" and hope to meet that handful one day. But, we don't know what we look like i.e. pics (1 of them I know, we don't xchange phone#s etc. but we trust each other so we've shared more personal things in our lives) |

Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:51 pm  Vyk--we ended up doing the same thing (no picture) for very different reasons--May should enjoy the information in the morning. I didn't see any other questions from her. I've got to say, for there being a 2 hour difference and having the job demands she has, I think she did damn good as far as getting into the action. I'm sure it took a toll on her, and hope the folks out there give her the credit for that---I figure that must be part of the reason she's still here---a hell of a trooper, and the time zone wasn't an excuse--it was real and she posted well with her time. IMHO |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:51 pm  Himay/Roger ignore this post above, I accidently hit wrong key and doubled posted it. |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:54 pm  Sorry Himays the link didn't post here it is: http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/slavemaster000607.html |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 10:59 pm  Vyk--one of the down sides to the Internet, unfortunately. Kind of like hitch hickers or those that pick up hitch hikers....there can be all kinds out there from the nicest poeple in the world to killers--and everything in between. |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 11:05 pm  So Vyk, how are you feeling about tomorrow?? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 11:07 pm  Roger, I will read your response as soon as I answer the next question about what do i look like (lol which is in this post) What do I look like so the world would get a better image? I answer this honestly. I am slimbuild, I have dark hair, almost shoulder length. I use glasses but most often contact lens. I am considered "good looking". (I've been hit on enough times in my life). HiMays please don't misunderstand me, I am not being egotistical. Just answering your inquiry. I am not too tall, forget about 6feet. I don't have hair on my chest. About once a year I "slack" off and eat whatever, then I kick back into fitness mode. I will either go to the gym, or I walk, usually because I ski in the winter. I have green/blue eyes. I like the outdoors, but I love the "boardrooms" and "conference halls" of life. I really love meeting people. Its almost one of the thrilling things in life that I enjoy. I come online, because its a relaxation for me. I can take a break from real life and chat about anything I wish. Most often I am on the net, reading all sorts of resource materials. But I love a good debate! Whether legal issues, psychological issues, political issues. Thats when I usually go to chats. Also love murder mysteries. This is my coffee break. Sometimes its intense like this past month. Othertimes, I can go days without chatting to someone. Oh yeah I have pierced ears. |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 11:13 pm  Shit, forgot to say I'm 45 years old. |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 11:20 pm  Roger reminded me, i don't have a scanner either. My hair is a dark brown almost black but not quite. Regarding the CBS interview question. I have been lucky to have had to deal with media especially over the past 15 years. I would be comfortable in front of a camera or microphone. When I was on schoolboard we received exceptional Pro-D training on how to respond to media. |
Vykin | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 11:21 pm  Roger gonna post on your how are u feeling about tomorrow question. So continue posting in here also. |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 29, 2000 - 11:27 pm  I think the media would hate me. I've got the charisma of a rock! While I may have some decent things to say, I just don't have that pizazz. I was on TV recently, although dressed up to deal with hosuehold hazardous waste (collection day) and they didn't talk to me. Twice a year they have a mobile set up for this...every other day of the year stuff can be dropped of at a area set aside at the company's location. It's one of the things I do to "give something back". Collect, separate, identify, classify, and package stuff people bring in from home, garage, sheds, etc. |
