I really liked the "everyone" question from the other thread, so I started its own thread. Let's just put a little structure in place so that we don't have a bunch of people asking questions. There will only be one question going at a time, and everyone answers that one question. Each question will last for 20 posts. Whoever posts a post that is a multiple of 20 will change the question to whatever they want. Simple and easy, which means it will mess up soon. Let's get started with the first question.
What is your favorite food to eat with your hands tied behind your back?
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

NSFW, yes.
Family Friendly answer:
Jello. It's one of the few foods I could eat like that that wouldn't give me a rash. Skin allergies, blah.
...waffles.
Salad
Sorry, but it's my favoriate thing to eat before you put any stipulations on it, so why would it change?
Or ice cream.
It's a toss-up...

So you like tossed salad or tossed ice cream?

Chocolate chip cookies.

Something with dark chocolate and sea salt.
Apples floating on tub of water... or donuts hanging from a string...
Pretty sure we did donuts hanging from a string at a youth group event one time.
Also Freddo Frogs... that we had to take out of the packaging without using our hands.
I don't know what makes me different and I don't care. Maybe it's not my problem, but why do they stare? - The Living End, Strange
Yep!

How do we know when the questions end?!
You're free to do whatever you want to.
We follow the Sentinel's instructions and read what is on the card.

What if you tire before it's done?
That's a new question. We're not there yet. :-P

Then you eat some nutritious food (with your hands tied behind your back) and pick up where you left off.

Food? Hmm. Let's go with a really rare steak. Since I've decided not to use my hands and thus must be fed by an attendant, I'll make the side dish easy and go with garlic mashed potatoes.
I don't usually eat food without my hands tied to my back... Nachos seem like they would be fun to eat though...
All food is finger food. Thats a life philosophy I live by.
New question!:
Whats the story behind your forum name and avatar?
For forum name can be seen here https://greaterthangames.com/comment/53439#comment-53439
For avater, it's simply my Maple Story character, RonnieRonway, the crossbowman. Not much to it other than that. The reason I use it is... Can't remember, I used as an avatar for one thing, since I didn't really have anything I really wanted and it just kind of stuck.
I do this not because I don't like the question - I think it's a brilliant one, in fact - but because I worship chaos:
As for my picture, the G+ crew were discussing their Paint villain avatars, and Envisioner suggested someone do the Ennead. So I did.

Wow! Did you just find everything, or did you have it saved somewhere?
I hope we can make it to post #40 now.

Missed one!
I was sitting on a park bench, building a camera out of Legos and a squirrel hopped up on the bench and sat there for a while. I took a photo with my non-Lego camera and then the whole area was bombarded with golf balls (there is a driving range nearby, but we should have been out of range and there were a ton of golf balls really quick...it was weird). One ball hit the bench right between us. The squirrel ran one way and I grabbed my stuff and ran the other way. Then I needed an avatar.
I thought about just linking to previous posts but as my Avatar is not currently Kevin Matchstick...
My current Avatar is Adam's art when he was being distracted by plushy Mr Chomps from this update here

I suck at asking questions is the lesson learned here
You learned the wrong lesson.

Well, I didn't answer this question yet, so I will do so now. And it is going to be DULL!
My forum name is my real first name. Why that is my first name is a completely different story, which is even less interesting than the first one. The reason that I use my first name and not some web alias (I have some of those) is only slightly more interesting: I run a convention and as part of that job I have to mod a bunch of gaming forums etc, and I use my first name because then people know who they are talking to and then immediatly know who to ask for when they get to the con. And then I just started to do that on all gaming related forums. Plus I only got on this forum after working at the >G booth in Essen last year where I met a few forum people, and they only knew my real name, so I figured it was easier to just use the name that people already knew than calling myself 'FlyingFireCarrot' or something equally random.
As for my avatar, it's 8-Bit Me. I love big pixels and and I cannot lie. My parents and I used to play Point and Click adventures on the computer together when I was really little. You know, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Simon The Sorcerer, Discworld 1, Inherit the Earth, ZakMcKracken, Day of the Tentacle... man, the list goes on for ever! Anyway, I didn't want to use my face as a profile pic, but this is a remarkable likeness. I even run like that.
Semper ludens.
I still am trying to beat Kings Quest for windows 95...
My picture is from FandomFest 2013--I dressed my best and got to meet Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, and John Barrowman. Good day.
You're free to do whatever you want to.
I went and found all the things. Mweheheheheh...
:D
Now all we need a nemesis icon...
“You gotta have blue hair."
-Reckless
The reason behind my user name is up, but I can tell you about my avatar. It's Kid Flash's chest insignia.
And I have it because it was the last icon I used as an avatar when I was setting up my forum account. I'd previously used it on Kongregate, where I chose it because I like The Flash, but the Kid Flash symbol looked kinda cool with Kong's colour scheme.
I've considered changing it, but Paul once sent me a message that he associates The Flash with me now, so it's staying.
I don't know what makes me different and I don't care. Maybe it's not my problem, but why do they stare? - The Living End, Strange
Thanks, Meerkat!
As for my avatar... Because it exists.
Ha! When I tell spouse this, she will be most jealous of you!

Name - old chatroom handle. The acronym at the end hasn't been applicable for awhile but the name is what I've used for online accounts for over 15 years now, so it's just habit now.
Avatar - the Vengeance expansion heroes are my favorites, particularly Parse, Setback, and the Naturalist, so I went looking for an image for use on this particular forum that reflected that.
The explanation behind my username has already been shared. I'm just happy to be here!
Ra, God of the Fun
Draw, God of the Sun
The Matriarch's Psychic damage is her forcing a gratuitous amount of Snapple facts about birds into a hero's brain.
My avatar is a picture of the chest piece for my Gizmoduck costume from last Halloween... I should change it now just t confuse people
My avatar is a piece of art inspired by one of the greatest video games of all time.
My username is an a derivation of my initals BES. We used it for a typing class to sign in and a classmate noticed. From then on, he would torment me with the nickname Bessie, after the great milk cow of commercial fame. I repurposed the name, turned it into a positive using another play off my name (Brock becomes B-Rock+bessy=bessyrocks). Also, I like the number 12.
Oh, and no avatar for me, thanks.

Hey, thanks! You just saved me the effort of typing my story out again!
My avatar is just a funny picture I found. I'm a fan of ponies and video games, so it fits. I'm considering changing it, but I never get around to it.
McBehrer is the sole winner of this game... And McBehrer, I would step carefully should you find your way down dark alleys. More than one vote said simply, "McBehrer must die."

New question:
What do you like to do besides playing games and hanging out on forums?
Hi. My name's Andy. Feel free to call me Andy, since, ya know, that's my name. (he/him/his)
If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If not now, when? If I am for myself alone, what am I? -- Hillel
Hmmmm. There are two things of which I have more than board games:
Watches - which I like to tinker with and customize
Rum - which I like to drink
I'm a big comic book nerd, so reading graphic novels (and our slowly growing file) is a big hobby.
I'm also a game designer, so I spend a lot of time writing up new scenarios, games, and the like.
I love professional football--I grew up in Latrobe, PA, so I'm a Steelers fan from birth.
I also love cooking. I'm a Food Network addict and love entertaining with big, elaborate dishes. My G+ profile picture is actually me, carving a bacon-wrapped turducken roll that I served for New Years' Eve a few years back.
I sing, a lot.
I'm in a society that has three choirs (I usually sing in all of them) and I'm currently transitioning between being Alto Section Leader for 13/14 and Print Publicist for 14/15. I've been singing with them since 2005, and I absolutely love it, and my musical ability has improved so much as a result.
I also sing with a different group over the summer, since the society's only active during university term time. And I rarely turn down the opportunity to do karaoke!
When I'm not singing or gaming, I'm creating something. I make mixed media jewellery (mostly in polymer clay and resin), I knit and crochet small things, I do some paper art, I make print and play boardgames, I sew a little, and I can turn my hand to most crafts at a basic level.
I grow organic vegetables and fruit and this year is the beginning of my pea breeding career. As well as "ordinary" varieties, I also have 12 experimental lines growing right now which I have named after the heroes in base SotM plus Unity and Scholar. They are doing nicely. Later I will force them to breed for me! Mwa ha ha ha!
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!
Oh I forgot I like cooking a lot too, especially baking. Food is awesome.
Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!
I read a lot, do large quantities of maths and occasionally go folk dancing. Beyond that, I tend to have rather a lot of projects - various writings, game designs, teaching myself to play the keyboard and sundry other things I can't recall right now - which tend to be left unfinished, because I'm bad at following through. Oh, and I enjoy acting and singing, though I haven't done any in close to a year... Also I make biscuits.
“You gotta have blue hair."
-Reckless
Ok, I'll bite. I play video games, design board and card games, read, watch stacks of documentaries on every subject imaginable (but primarily history), drink and occasionally roast coffee, hike with my dog (a scary big part of my life revolves around my dog), and generally be amazing.

I like working with my hands and making things from scratch. Typically I'm working with wood and/or steel (usually furniture), but I'm a big fan of learning new skills. I've dabbled in music, mechatronics, crochet, photography, cooking, embroidery, gardening, and glass blowing. Sketching and/or painting are likely to come up soon.
I enjoy martial arts (although I don't practice enough. :( ) and working on adventures to run for Saturday games with my friends.
"Deja-fu? You've heard of that?"

Like Imprimis5, I also love to binge on documentaries. Just watched one on Nicki Barnes last night on Netflix which was really cool. I'm a sax player and a lot of my free time outside of gaming is spent playing and writing (I'm playing the Bitter End tonight in Greenwich Village in NYC!). I love counter culture and try to stay involved as much as I can since I live in a major city. You can find me by the Liberty Bell for Smoke Down Prohibition rallys, at the local e-cig shop talking about comming FDA regulations, even my tabletop hobby came as a reaction to get out of the sink of heavy video gaming.
Main things when solo are reading or watching movies/TV/YouTube, so I guess it'd be "experiencing a story." I need to get back into the habit of working out, as I've let that slide for far too long.
With friends, aside from gaming there's stuff like drinking, hookah (tobacco only), camping, SCA heavy fighting, snowboarding, and attending Renaissance Festivals where there's more drinking.
I do lots of biking and math and reading (and board games, but you knew that). BlueHairedMeerkat, are you a mathematician as well?
