Look, I'm in a good mood, alright? (AMA - Hunter)

[Chase]

Shoot.

[ArmoredGuardian]

Why do you like shooting?

Oranges or Kiwis?

Favorite song?

Manga?

Anime?

Cartoon?

What is your #1 Goal?

What is your best trait?

Worst?

Favorite Veggie?

Fruit?

What kind of fish do you like eating?

[Chase]

> Oranges and Kiwis are both equally satisfying, but I'm leaning toward Kiwis because they are much rarer around these parts.

> Currently? Take Me As I Am - Lecrae

> ...not the biggest weaboo, but I'm going to go with Mirai Nikki. (so much for giving Lecrae and Jesus a pedestal. Make room for the killing and survival game anime.)

> Mangia!?......where's my speghetti?.....(I don't read manga....I always end up reading the end of the story before reading the beginning.)

> The Flintstones, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, Pokemon ....and in my adult life 'King of the Hill' like a real Texan.

> My number one goal is to become a church planter and help congregations around the world find their own buildings, as well as people looking for Jesus to find a place to worship and experience the lives of other believers.

> Best trait would be a tie for loyalty and tenacity. I would willingly get into a scrap and even die for many of those I care about - and even when a lost cause is visible I am no quitter.

> Worst is that I don't have the best periscope when it comes to emotional climate. I inadvertently hurt a lot of people's feelings.

> Squash

> Grapefruit these days.

> Salmon and tuna....everything else either isn't a fish or is absolutely disgusting...

...oh, and because it's fun, feeds the body, and is an American right.

[Maelstrom]

Would you go spear hunting for boar with me if I promised to go into the woods first?

Why are you in a good mood? Was it the Jesus juice?

When did you realize you didn't answer AG's first question?

What cities have you visited? Been to any other countries?

Do you ever go mudding?

Favorite country song?

How Texan are you?

What is your favorite thing to put in a quesadilla?

Should I come up with more questions for you?

[Ikaru]

WHY WON'T YOU NOTICE MY STATUS AND GET MAD AT ME????????????

[Sheep]

WHY WON'T YOU NOTICE MY STATUS AND GET MAD AT ME????????????

And here, if you're quiet, you'll get to observe the rare profile views bait in its natural habitat. Such a majestic creature... I can't help but comply with what it wants.

As for questions:

Are you going to play more FE games one day?

Thoughts on your presidential election? Are you as disappointed as most people or is there a candidate that you legitimately like?

If you could tame any creature in all of creation, what would be your ideal pet?

[Chase]

Mael:

> Took me exactly three and a half minutes of reading my response and AG's questions again to realize I had done goofed.

> Pokemon Go of all things. It has caused a hilarious goose chase around town and lots of socializing with random townies. Also made me look smart.

> Dude. Gimmie a spear.

> I've been to Los Angeles, CA, New York City, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Orlando, FL, Las Vegas, NV, and virtually every metropolis in Texas (D-Town, H-town, San Antone, ATX, Waco) - I've also left stateside once - on a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico.

> It's "muddin'"..........M-U-D-D-I-N-Apostrophe.... none of this "G" business. (Several times. It's a blast.)

> I 'reckon I'm about as Texan as anyone else. (Sometimes it gets a bit silly being around other Texans.)

> oddly enough....Bacon and Buffalo Chicken. #Innovation

> Yessir.

Ikaru:

CMON MAN, WHAT THE FUCK-.....I'm over it. I'm resigned to getting bond units from strangers instead of getting them from you. Ruby's kinda cute...and I don't know how to use Chivalry effectively. Did both of us have Shurikenbreaker or just you?

Sheep:

>As far as playing past games, I think I would rather purchase the Amiibos for Fates and Awakening due to only having a new 3DS at the moment. In the future I can see myself buying the next games in the franchise. I'm one of those folks that likes the "baby emblem" features a little. Sue me.

>This election cycle is disappointing in regards to major party choices. "Smart" Republicans didn't vote for Trump (literally a demographic was college degree wielders) and he rose to the nomination through a mixture of fear-mongering and a desire to win over common sense and intelligent voting. On the other side, many smart Democrats didn't vote for Hillary either - with the only intelligent thing about being a Clinton voter over Sanders being pure pragmatism.

Essentially, liberal or conservative, there's a lot of unhappy campers.

> A wife...... Okay, that sounds highly misogynistic. What I mean there is that I'm not the biggest pet person and that I'd much rather have a family instead because I like humans more than I do animals as a whole (barring Pokemon) - My ideal pet would be a cat though. Cats are alright and have enough of a presence and personality to justify having a pet in the first place, without being unruly so much as dogs are.

[Ikaru]

I really don't know why you can't get them from me. It's so weird. As for the skills, no, I'm inclined to think Hoshidan Unity came from you since I, uh. I'm playing Conquest.

A followup question to your "gimmie a spear" comment: weapon (type should you not have any one favorite) of choice, in and/or outside of Fire Emblem?

And on that note, what's your MMO class? As in, you can be any class from any game- which?

[Maelstrom]

On a scale from 1-10, how much do you like swimming?

Beef ribs?

How was Las Vegas?

[Chase]

Ikaru:

> DEFINITELY a sword - especially in Fire Emblem. Star Wars to RuneScape to Fates, I've been enamored with swordplay my entire life. It's a weapon that allows you to get up close and personal, while still being sophisticated enough to require technique and finesse. It's also a good sidearm in many RPGs. In 'Scape, I would use a two-handed sword as a KO weapon when fighting other players - despite normally using bows. In Fates, it's able to wielded by almost everything from Paladins to Ninjas and Mages. Versatile, Refined, lots of beautiful designs.....Also looks good covered in ice.

This gave me an idea for a thread that I've already been formulating - now that you've asked, I'll credit you for the extra motivation.

Delgado:

> Solid 9. I've enjoyed watching my friends swim competitively as and watching the USA DOMINATE the pool in Olympic challenges since Beijing. (I even had a crush on Missy Elliot once.) - As far as recreation, I've served as an unofficial lifeguard several times and spent a lot of my free time at camp in the pool when I was working there. Swimming is my favorite form of exercise.

> Ribs? WHERE?

> I really liked the architecture of the LV Strip when I was a kid and went yearly to visit my grandfather. Vegas is like some super playground for adults. I don't care if they call it Sin City - when I visit this upcoming December for my grandfathers third wedding, I'm finally gambling.

It's a pretty cool place.

[Odybld]

I added you and your christian pickup lines in Ame's Ama. So, have these specific lines served you well, did they work on anybody?

Also, why did you stop playing mons and LC in particular?

[Chase]

have those lines served you well/did the work?

Yes -and- No.

If you're asking if the pick-up line was effective at piquing a woman's interesting in me or encouraged them to talk to me then yes. It didn't result in actually "picking-up" a partner at all.

Which is fine. I want a woman who wants to talk to me when I serious and not just when I'm a clown.

Why did you stop playing mons and LC in particular?

I wouldn't call it retirement so much as I would say I took an unprecedented hiatus due to the things that were going on in my life. Starting with November, that month wasn't one I wanted to show myself to the community for a while, and that was in the middle of a busy school year.

Long story short, I backed off to let the dust settle, and then work and school kept me from jumping back in full force. By then, the metagame had shifted a little bit and I felt out of touch - and I discovered things like Battle Factory (which allowed me to play a structured format without having to build for it) so that I could still battle during my busy schedule.

I'd certainly like to get back into teambuilding - Little Cup included.

[Shadow Tack]

Why is LC the best meta and why is there no other option?

[Chase]

Long story short, Tadow Shack, RarelyUsed is the best meta.

..however, Little Cup's variety certainly makes it appealing, even if the variety is subverted by obviously good Pokemon like Mienfoo. Aside from a select few, Little Cup has a place for every Pokemon to shine if used effectively.

[Deleted User]

So are you actually back at school now? You'd said you had some places in mind.

[Chase]

No - and not for lack of looking. I've been rejected to several schools and others are claiming they will get in touch with me this fall. I was behind the eight ball in looking though.

Jump the gun when college hunting folks.

[Gaunt]

1) If christianity didn't exist what religion would you follow?

2) Do you think humans are intelligent enough to form a "World Government" one day? If yes how many years will it take?

3) Did you ever did something that was against your believes?

[Chase]

If Christianity didn't exist what religion would you follow?

I wouldn't even be a Christian if Christ didn't actually exist and historically do what He said He did... - CHRISTIANITY as a "religion" is rather unappealing most of the time these days. That being said, I would most likely fall under the category of agnostic. I'd doubt a human's ability to definitively say a deity exists or doesn't - just as I did in middle school, and I would need a significant amount of proof either way.

Do you think humans are intelligent enough to create a "World Government" one day?

That's considerably intelligent? I'm not sure -that's- the path we need to take - despite unity being important. That being said, it's not totally out of the realm of possibility with things like the European Union already existing today, along with united military efforts (United Nations). Right now, I see too many social, cultural, and ideological divides to see it happening any time soon. Europe is experiencing a stiff right-wing resistance that only grows with each new terror attack, while the United States can't even get North and South Korea to stop hating each other and doesn't know it's own identity. Top that off with what may be the first of many leaving the European Union with the 'Brexit' vote recently, and it would seem nations are more keen to remain their own than form a global government.

Did you ever do something that was against your beliefs?

Only all the time.

A prime example of this is supporting transition therapy for transgender individuals despite the church normally being staunchly against it. (Basically, the therapy that enables one gender to swap to the other as opposed to the brain therapy that essentially tells them they are who they already are against their dysphoria.) While there's nothing in the Bible that reads specifically about changing a gender, changing your gender is essentially giving God the metaphorical bird and telling Him to jump off a cliff over your previous gender. "If there -is- a God, He got my gender wrong and therefore He's not always right."

However, I've personally seen the positives outside of the theological issue that transition therapy brings. People don't kill themselves over an identity crisis if they are allowed to embrace who they believe they are. Before a minister or mentor could tell me about the biblical implications of such procedure, I had someone dear to my heart give me her story and set the record straight from the perspective of one who has actually been there - and concluded that it's an area where the Christian's best course of action is to forgive rather than to hold accountable.

A regular example though is just sinning in general. I actually tend to dislike being around people, despite being called to go and make disciples of all the nations. So I make myself a hermit - and I often don't hold to spiritual disciplines despite knowing it's good for me.

[Amethyst]

1. The dimensions have collapsed and you are the sole human survivor. You can freely choose what kind of world you live out your days alone in. What do you want your new planet home to be like?
2. What video game or anime character would you most like to spontaneously come into existence and have to live with you?
3. A passing spirit offers you a choice: You may sacrifice any skill you have (in which case you may never do it again) in return for becoming equally good at a different skill. Would you take the deal, and what would you trade?
4. What single emotion would you most like to never have to feel again?
5. You're a character in a fighter game! What kind of moves do you have?
6. A trolley speeds down a rail with a person you like, and all of the people you hate most, tied to it. You have access only to a lever which shifts the trolley onto a second rail with an equivalent number of people, none of whom you know. In regards to the person you like, for what kind of person would you -not- pull the lever?
7. Your biological cousin is madly in love with you and has confessed 3,909 times. What is it going to take for you to finally start thinking about them romantically?
8. Which anime or game would you most like to be trapped in?
9. After being trapped in a building for a much longer amount of time than you expected, you step outside only to find out the apocalypse occurred while you were trapped. There are still scattered human survivors but the world is now largely toxic and dangerous. What will you most miss about your life before?
10. If you had to date someone on this site who was not me, who would you choose?
11. And, if you were happy with them and found out they had lied to you about their gender, appearance, age and name, would you stay with them anyway?

[Chase]

^{Alright, Ame.}

1. To what extent are my powers in the first question? If I have the power to repopulate the earth, I would. Not because I have a high preference for having people around me, but because I do think it's better than not having anyone around me. That's all I have for now. I know where to find you.

2. Pheonix Wright, for reasons you probably don't have to think too hard about. A solid second would be Felicia because Texas heat sucks, two people doing a horrible job at cleaning my room is better than one, and ...she's pretty cute, alright?

3. I would - in true heretical fashion - trade my music ability for public speaking gains. Rose. Please don't hurt me. It's not that I hate music, but that it's a skill that I used to fit into a crowd and make friends as opposed to get me anywhere in life.

4. Sorrow. Anger has healing properties and provides extra motivation. Sadness leads to other defeatist attitudes and usually me at my very worst.

5. A Button: Punch. B Button: Punch. D-Pad: Punch............L-R Triggers: Some form of verbal abuse. Rawr.

6. This one isn't very hard Ame. If that one person was you, a family member, any of my other friends, my mentor Paul, etc I would -PULL- and sacrifice all of the unknowns. One, I'm that selfish, and two, I'm loyal almost to a fault where everyone I dislike benefits from it.

7....Not very much. I've been cursed with some FOIIINE family members. What I wanna know, is how come -I- didn't get their good looks.

8. Definitely not Mirai Nikki OR Fire Emblem - so definitely the Sims. As fantastical as the video game universe is, normalcy is comfortable and I don't like change.

9. Probably that one time when food was edible without picking up ominous amounts of radiation poisoning.

10. That member would be Rosesong - but there's probably 8 or 9 people in line ahead of me just from this site alone, so I'm not going to get my hopes up.

11. You know, I can understand the hold up many have when it comes to gender preferences, and in my case, I think you're an excellent example of being delicate when applying them. I wouldn't be eternally spurned if Rose's real shorthand name was for a masculine derivative over a feminine one, nor would I care if one's masculine features were those that were considerably "repulsive" as opposed to "attractive" when judged by society. It would come down to obvious legal implications -and- as mentioned before, gender preference.

In which case, the answer is No. On my end, as opposed to yours, there's no such thing as equal implications. Engaging in relationships with the same sex would make me an astoundingly large hypocrite and would thus be damaging to my ministry, and engaging in a relationship with ANYONE who is too young would be considerably subject to action by local authorities.

...I'd like to take the time to say that I've had to grow a LOT over the last few months to come to this conclusion, due to how personal the question is between the two of us. Part of my heart isn't very happy with my final conclusion, because from the opposite side of the problem, I was VERY MUCH happy with you. Previously, I -would- have yearned for you to respond "Yes" if I were to ask you that question.

However, and not because I'm cutting myself down here - you did the right thing by searching within yourself and unlike me, being honest. I owe it to you from then on out to return the favor.

[Deleted User]

How do you feel about drumpf?

How do you feel about hillary? why? I can look at and listen to drumpf and know why he is considered Satan's left hand (if you believe that sort of thing). But I'm kinda in the dark why a person would not be neutral to hillary. I asked MP and got... less than satisfactory answers.

[Chase]

Mike that's cheating...but thanks for enabling me. You're a good friend.

Starting with Trump, I can't help but think Republicans got so desperate to win the White House that they picked a candidate that knows how to make the appeal without having to actually apply any policy at all and instead says all the right things. With the GOP - anger is a very easy emotion to tap into - and many of the observations about the social climate that the Donald points out are true to an extent.

Since Obama has taken office, the nation has embraced a militant culture of "political correctness" to the point where even the most sound arguments and well delivered conservative speeches are shot down as inflammatory simply because we've been trained as a culture to believe being disagreed with is a form of micro-aggression. while Democrats are the champions of the minorities, the Republicans are champions for America as a collective. This means that liberals take heat unfairly for being anti-American and conservatives are (often wrongly) accused of spitting on diversity.

...and this is where Trump has proven time and time again that he had no business being nominated for the GOP - while having several flashes of greatness as a candidate. Looking at his tagline - "Making America Great Again" isn't an inherently bad wish for the country. He unfortunately comes off very much like a certain 1940's world leader in his pursuit of American greatness though with calls for banning people based on their faith from the country, building a wall because of the nationalistic lie that American jobs are at risk of being lost by Mexican immigrants.

What the next president has to understand is that diversity is inherently a definitive part of the American puzzle. It's one of the many reasons why America -IS- great - and it's one of the many reasons Donald Trump was a grave mistake for Republicans.

---

You should be anti-Hillary because she's as blatantly dishonest as they come (and able to get away with it because of the media climate this country has), she's bought out by Wall Street (as Sanders already levied against her in the Democratic Primary) and therefore isn't a sound representative of you the voter, and her rise to power was pretty much sealed before Bernie even decided he was going to run because she plays an active part in the biggest issue this country has to deal with - political corruption.

Living in Texas, I don't know a single Hillary voter that has a reasoning for voting for her beyond "Better than Trump." whereas I know a remarkably low number of people that are voting for Trump for a reason other than "Hillary is the devil."

I know several people on both sides that are voting for a candidate because they are the lesser of two evils. For the Republicans, this was the year to win the White House while the trendy thing in America is to be a Democrat because the Democrats weren't even thinking about putting their best candidate in the driver's seat at all and they blew it. For Democrats, it's gotta be a relief Republicans are so blind to the country's political climate that they put a horrible candidate of their own up, or Obama would for sure be replaced by a Republican.

[Neo]

Texan here, I'm voting for Shitlarry because of the Supreme Court opening, and possible openings during her tenure as President. I'll be damned if we get ultra-conservatives in those slots and set the nation back decades

[Chase]

It's very, very, very hard to get an ultra-ideologue on the bench because Congress has to approve the nomination in every case.

That being said, if Trump were to win, he'd have an easier time of putting up a conservative judge than she would at putting up a liberal due to the Senate currently being in control by Republicans - so it doesn't make your point moot.

If Hillary wins, she'll like get stonewalled for two years if she tries to put up Elizabeth Warren as opposed to sticking by Merrick Garland on Obama's behalf, simply because she doesn't have the Senate on her side.

If you care about the Supreme Court going your way, it's probably best to vote by ideology all the way down the ticket. My biggest problem with liberal Supreme Court justices is that they seemingly use their power to effectively rewrite the law into something that it isn't for the sake of progress. If you want to change the law, that job doesn't fall on those on the bench, but those who you vote into legislative chairs.

I don't think the Supreme Court should be as big of an issue in this election as it is for that reason, it's not just the President who's involved with the bench selection.

[Deleted User]

I'm not interjecting much into this conversation. Just felt like dropping this small note. Senate as of right now is estimated to be 47-44 Dems with 9 toss ups.

If we go by absolutes and mark down based off current results with no toss ups it's 51-49 Republican.
