Whenever one is seated across from Robin, one is always assured of a very strong opposition. It is by playing such games that one hones the skills required to win more.

Victor Sullivan wrote:Personally, Robinette, I think you have one of the most difficult medals to achieve in all of Conquer Club: your specific General Contribution medal. No one can even attempt to fill the slot you'd leave empty, should you ever leave. How can an institution stay standing if its foundation gives out? How can a daisy show its petals in the spring if it has no roots to absorb the nutrients it needs? It takes a certain kind of person to have such an impact with no tools.

If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure if I deserve to be in your game. You should have your game be a game for those that have contributed as you have, like AndyDufresne, Woodruff, and Fruitcake.

I'm just the Newsletter guy.

Allow me to premise this with my sincere apologies. Work had me busy Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, and I had a lot of scheduled hangouts with friends and family on Saturday and some Sunday.

Robinette wrote:Contestant number 3... Victor Sullivan, if you could be invisible, where would you go and what would you do?

Well, it all depends on how exactly this invisibility works. Do my clothes get to be invisible too? I'm somewhat of what one might call a (I think the term is) "Never Nude". I like my buttons buttoned and my zippers zipped.

Reminds me of a book I read a long time ago now, called "Things Not Seen":

Decent read; it's more of a middle-to-high school-level read, but I still enjoyed it. Of course, in my case, I'm a 54-year-old man... I feel like that would be unsettling to most people. Imagine the problems if I were a pedophile! Yeesh... *shudders*

And am I allowed to 'toggle' this ability? It'd be kind of difficult to teach a class invisible... I'd have to bundle up in non-invisible garments or something. Gosh, that would be a hassle.

I think I'd have some fun with it, though. I don't think I'd do anything illegal; my conscience is too fragile; I don't think it could take it. Maybe I'd be the ghost of a math professor that was stabbed by a student not long after the community college I work at was founded in the late 1800s - Professor Heisenberg. They say when he was stabbed, he was working on Fermat's Last Theorem, and sometimes you'll find him late at night in his old classroom writing on the chalkboard various equations and proof lines, still trying to prove Fermat's Last Theorem (poor soul never read a newspaper circa June 1993 - May 1995). Sometimes, during finals, you can hear him whispering the answers to problems on the exam...

As you can tell, I'm not the most imaginative person... I feel like invisibility would be one of those things that I'd use infrequently for various convenient uses. Like when you're completely embarrassed, *poof* Where'd you go? To deal with your shame elsewhere instead of in front of insensitive numbskulls. Magnificent exit? *poof* Done.

Oh, oh! I got it. I'd use it to roam around the room during exams to see if there are any cheaters in the room. Busted. Or I could use it to creep out cops when they pull me over for speeding to find that no one is driving the car. Or, or I could use it to have a sleepover at Target. Imagine. I always thought it would be cool to do something like that as a kid. You could do so many things in a Target...

Truthfully, I think I'd be better off seen. It's probably better that I be held accountable. Every action needs an appropriate consequence.

Sorry Contestant number 2... you're out

Contestant number 3... Victor Sullivan, what's your favorite childhood memory?

Contestant number 1... Janomike, if your life was turned into a movie, what actor would play you?

Robinette wrote:Contestant number 3... Victor Sullivan, what's your favorite childhood memory?

Ooh, that's a tough question. When I was growing up in the late 1600s, I remember sticking it out through one of the roughest winters Jamestown ever saw...

*chuckle* Just kidding :mrgreen:

Well, when I was young, me and two other kids on my block would always hang out with each other. We were like a poster trio for some kids television sitcom or something, because I was white, one of my friends (we'll call him "Duke") was half-asian, half-white, and the other friend (we'll call him "Siege") was half-black, half-white. And it was funny because Duke was the tallest and Siege was the shortest.

Anywho, so we didn't have much in the way of entertainment back in those days, so we would occupy ourselves with the strangest things. One thing we would do was make up our own commercials. It was awesome, too, because it was almost entirely improvised. Some great ones included "The Boring Double Feature", "Bob, the Lightbulb Shop Guy", and "Burnt Toast Cereal". I think my favorite, though, was one Siege and I did called "Bob and Dewinchi - The Lawyer People". We had our own phone number (1-800-DONT-CALL-US) and jingle. I don't quite remember the jingle now, but it simultaneously advertised us and discredited us. It was pretty great.

Some other things we would do were make "soup" for my dog, Winston (which was basically water in a bucket with whatever we found around the yard and neighborhood, including leaves, pinecones, grass, dandelions, clover, and pine-needles), playing the classic "hide-and-go-seek", daring each other to go into a shed that we thought was inhabited by a creepy old man, digging holes in Siege's yard looking for dinosaur bones, and playing pretend (like pretending to be superheros or The Archies).

The greatest thing is that I still hangout with those two (I see Duke a lot, Siege less). We frequently reminisce about the old days. Savor your days as a kid, otherwise, before you know it, you'll wake up with a full head of grey hair (or none at all, ha).

The last few posts only further enforce why Victor Sullivan is a "Sully" and not a "Vic" lol.
Btw, I vote for Sully. Janomike seems like a nice guy as well, though. In fact, I think Janomike and Sully should just ditch the whole thing, leave the studio and head to the nearest bar for a pint. Robinette, nervously shuffling her index cards: "Ehhehe, well it looks like the winner is... Fruitcake! Wait, where did he go?" *lights in studio start shutting down*.

The game has begun...

Besides... if you'll re-"read the fine details of the contest, you'll swear you saw something about employees and their family members being unable to participate"...
