Alright! I get to ask the first batch of questions!
Hi Bardan. A nice bunch of questions you have there.
What's the longest chain of roads you've had in Settlers of Catan?
Only counting actual roads I'm certain that's fifteen, the cap caused by the limited number of road pieces. If ships are included, I think about 25.
How would you go about forming a Grignard Reagent?
I had to look it up, because I wasn't familiar with that term. The principle doesn't seem that hard, but it probably doesn't have a very high yield normally, does it? But you can probably be lazy and buy them too.
What's your preferred method of consuming cheese?
Oral. CHEESECAKE! I mean, it's cheese and cake. What else do you want?
Which Final Fantasy game is your favorite?
All of them had their pros and cons, but a major dislike is when you cannot keep one party throughout the game. FF4 kept killing characters and throwing them in and out of the party. I think I going to pick 2, because it had an interesting system making you able to form your characters like you want and it introduced Osmose, my favorite spell.
What is the greatest advantage and disadvantage to being a lycanthrope?
The major advantage is being able to shapeshift, which isn't really an advantage mostly, but it is pretty cool. Disadvantage is way to often being killed quickly in Mafia (here commonly played with werewolves as mafia), because people aren't able to separate the game from reality.
Does the portrayal of werewolves in Twilight disgust you?
I am told I shouldn't watch it and therefore haven't, but I have read the first few pages of the book when I was bored at my aunt's. I might be going to borrow it in the summer when I've got nothing to read, but I'm going to read the Inheritance Cycle first.
If you could have any pokemon team, which six pokemon would you have?
Aerodactyl, Chandelure, Houndoom, Trevenant, Alakazam, Delphox
Someone goes up to you and says "werewolves suck, vampires are so much cooler." How do you respond?
I wouldn't bother much to argue, because vampires are pretty cool too.
Under what condition can you form a new carbon-carbon bond?
The easiest would be when you manage to get radicals.
Do you think wolves are properly represented in the pokemon franchise?
There's a good amount of canine Pokémon certainly. Mighyena is the main wolf Pokémon out there, but I'm not a real fan of it, I must admit, but Houndour and Houndoom are great!
And lastly, since I think this is so much fun, here are some answers for which you can provide questions.
Agreed!
If you had the possibility to form a new playable race in Dungeons and Dragons, what would it be?
I think another ten or so would do it.
It gives me great relief to say this isn't true.
1=16
(A powerpoint slide's layout made it appear to say this yesterday in college actually.)
Duct tape, super glue, and staples.
Something is broken. What are the first things you try fixing it with?
Why shouldn't you lower the pH an an Fe
2+/Fe
3+ mixture that is stabilized by cyanide?
Who is Jon Snow?
when bae makes an ask me anything thread
Er... Hi!
On a scale of one to ten, how self-confident are you?
That differs a lot between situations, but I say a seven on average.
What got you into chemistry?
Chemistry was my favorite subject in high school. It showed the building blocks of our all-day world and molecule structures can explain why certain reactions can be performed. Stuff started to make sense and I was fascinated by that.
What's your favorite periodic element?
Carbon, the basic element of the many organic molecules. It has so many possibilities in forming molecules, all with their own properties, from small ones like methane to large complex proteins.
So I tried to tell a chemistry joke. No reaction.
No, I haven't, but it is on my list of games I really should play when I have the time. It's not on the top, so this might take a while.
Most embarrassing story involving someone you've had a crush on or were in a relationship with.
I've thought about this for some time, but I really can't think of anything interesting to tell. I'm sorry.
There isn't much I dislike, I pretty much eat anything, but I do dislike plain rice. It's to dry without some meat and vegetables, a sauce or spice.
Respond accordingly to the following phrase: "Bread. That is all."
Thanks for the questions, both of you!
