Are you playing BW, and if so when will you enter the next Gem League/ThSL? When you're not working/studying, what do you do in your spare time? Last question, are you reading anything currently? | ||

When you're not working/studying, what do you do in your spare time? Last question, are you reading anything currently? I followed about half of it, whenever I did and didn't have time. I think I learned enough to help write for TLS season 2. I am not playing BW because I don't know the password of my ancient router, which is kinda needed for Iccup, but once I exchange it (should be in a month), I should be able to horribly suck at it again. ![]() In my spare time I watch movies, play quite a bit of DOTA 2, watch SSL and SRT-s, and lately I've been listening to a lot of electro-swing and a bit of classical music. And I'm about to finish the 5th Game of Thrones book. There might be more, which I might edit in later if a question inspires me. | ||

I do like competitive gaming, but people are forcing it way too hard to be something it isn't at the moment, and the disillusionment will eventually come, if you ask me. An ideal scene would be the one BW had in 2007, with a niche but well known and informed audience, high local interest, and great games tying them together. I do enjoy watching BW and DOTA 2 tourneys at the moment, but I've rarely used the term E-sports outside of an ironic context. | ||

Researching him was fun, and while I love all the STX members, Calm will probably always be my favorite for his constant attitude towards practising, unique look (even though we can all agree he looked WAY better with glasses), and for his being best pals with my second-favorite player, Kal. | ||

It's all about the passion for people like the BW writers. No BW writer gets any monetary compensations for putting in hours upon hours of work, but at least for me, it made sense. Why? Because you can give back something to the scene that has provided you with countless hours of entertainment, gripping drama, and some of the highest highs and lowest lows I have experienced. BW was and for some still is, that special for the BW staff. And you guys are. Because sharing this passion would mean nothing if I didn't know that it might make that match just a bit more awesome for someone out there. There are some advantages, however. TL staff are pretty universally awesome people to hang out with in chat. Tree.hugger even came to visit me here in Estonia. As for the forum privileges, I seem to get quoted a lot more since I got my pen, as if my opinion suddenly matters more (even in topics not related to BW), and I feel pretty proud about having contributed to this community. I love TL staff. Even the SKT fans. | ||

If i were to create my own religion and name it "church of tsundere jesus", would you be among my followers ? What if i named it "supporters of the spaghetti god" instead ? Which one of those would get me more followers ? Do you even socialism ? What if clam swapped to terran for no apparent reason ? Would that turn your world upside down ? If so, what would happen to you ? Would you just freefall to the edge of space ? What would happen to the earth and the rest of the universe ? Would the earth and the sky just swap places ? Would we then end up living inside a "ball" of earth, without light ( earth we walk on would block sun rays ) ? Can you take a picture of something you see ? | ||

Can you take a picture of something you see ? 1)The muscle is the part of the drug cartel that deals with getting money from clients who are late. Rather uncommon occupation here, but some have found their calling in life. 2) Probably not, I have certain religious views, and my views to our metaphysical existence don't have much a lot of space allocated to either tsunderes or jesus. You might have trouble with copy-writing the spaghetti god supporter group, since, you know, pastafarianism. I'd wager the tsundere jesus demand is slightly higher/more open to religious revolution, so go for the former anyway. 3) I was part of a libertarian political party for about 5 years. I'm fairly not socialist by Estonian standards, although some Americans have called me that anyway. The political spectrum is very much related to your current viewpoint. Until specification of "socialism", I'll go with no. 4) Calm playing BW Terran? I would probably instantly jog for a few miles because I'd be so excited. Calm playing BW in any form would make me happy enough to power through a hundred essays. He started his carreer playing Terran, you know. Calm playing SC2 Terran? Couldn't care less, to be honest. As for the world turning upside down, that constantly happens. It's called rotation. I've heard vague talk about theories that there's a possibility of me freefalling to the edge of space randomly because chaos theory physics is scary, but I'd probably die far before I could provide empirical proof. If that happened, everything would remain pretty much the same, but I'd probably start liking Fantasy for some weird reason in my last moments, no idea why. 5) I don't actually own a camera, and never allow pictures of myself to be taken. But I can send you pictures others have taken of places very close to me. I live next to this building: ![]() it's an abandoned foodstore, which used to be the center of economic activity of this part of town just 10 years ago. Now it's roof is occasionally visited by teenagers who like getting wasted on top of it. ![]() this here used to be a soviet bunker, which was turned into a night club, which was turned into a roleplaying centric youth center where I worked. Now, because we didn't have money to repair the old rotting structure, it is a health hazard to be there. Some weirdo wanted to store plants in there last I heard. | ||

I still beam when I see that Bogus and Last are doing well, since I loved them in BW, but I haven't seen 10 games they played in SC2. For the same reason, I can't give you any real least favorite players. | ||

Many follow gods, but how many follow monsters? There's a serious niche in the religious devotion department as related to out of the closet monsters. Maybe you could hijack Twilight fans? Some adoration borders on worship already, and I don't know of a registered Church of Edward. (although there is a Church of the Vampire!) Not entirely sure what you mean by Keel or tankjr, so I'll say tankjr because mini-tanks are awesome. As for the Street fighter question, never played the games, but I like the idea of Dan based on the lore I read. A super-weak character is the ultimate humiliation tool. | ||

Oh, there's a few. there's "kuuuurija" (moon researcher), "töööö" (work night), "veeeelistus" (water preference). Out of these, jäääär (ice edge) has been used most commonly by me, since I once made a presentation in history class about the Antarctic explorers. My favorite word in estonian to make non-estonians try to pronounce it is "Korstnapühkija" (the 4 consonants and the ü are awesome.). The word itself means "chimneysweep"."Süüa" (to eat) is pronounced differently than it is written, which is completely exceptional in the estonian language, and there are 14 cases, but no genders. Wrap your head around that. ![]() There's also an estonian band by the name jäääär!

How interesting, very interesting!! I would so put "kuuuurija" on my business card if I could. And I am going to try to use "veeeelistus" in everyday speech, just to be a linguist hipster snob. It's kinda hilarious how Estonian stretches out the vowels in those particular words in such an exaggerated manner though. I am so going to show off these new words to my friends and professor, kudos to you. Edit: Oh wait I just realized... They're not elongated vowels! They're compound words, words put together to form another word, but they sound like an elongated vowel!! My mind just exploded. So I'm guessing that if you see 4 of the same vowel together, it's usually in a compound word? Are there any non-compound word elongated vowel words though? "Korstnapühkija", that doesn't sound bad compared to various African and native indigenous people around the world's dialects, where you get clusterfucks of consonants stuck together sounding like a trainwreck. (No offense to those who speak indigenous dialects, but man you gotta admit, if you had more vowels in your consonant-heavy language, it'd sound a lot more prettier to the general public.) And how would you pronounce "süüa"? Like [soo-ah]? And even more interesting, 14 cases!! A refreshing change from the typical masculine/feminine/neutral pattern in some languages... Looks like I'll have to take a look at Estonian more in the future. :O And that band's not bad, sung Estonian sounds quite interesting! I thought it would sound maybe a bit similar to Russian as well, but nope, definitely more like Finnish. The lyrics of that song are extremely poetic as well. And as expected, they sure like to sing about their snow and cold and nature themes, haha. | ||

Soo-ah would be a literal pronounciation. Soo-eah would be correct. | ||

I will need to look up Estonian swear words later. | ||

Maybe in the distant future when I feel like I have more control over my thought processes. 2) I'm not a very goal oriented person. It's one of my major flaws. If I had to name anything, I'd probably say I want to learn a new degree of finnish and russian, but I have started both of those. Oh, now I know. Swing dancing is something I want to learn but haven't yet. I love the aesthetic of the prohibition era, and the dancing is a major part of it. And a bit of coding in C++ would be awesome to learn as well, considering how high in demand programming is in Estonia. | ||

I called my friend a vitt today, and felt like a badass when I explained to them that it was cunt in Estonian. ![]() | ||
