Real Name: Albert
Location: Bellaterra (Catalonia)
Age: 20 (born July 17th 1984)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 1,80 m
Job/Grade/College: Currently studying Physics in the UAB (Univeristat Autònoma de Barcelona).
Religion: No, thanks. Although I respect everybody's creences.
Favorite Band: Maybe Apocalyptica.
Favorite Song: It depends...
Favorite Type of Music: Metal
Favorite Movie: Don't know, there are a lot of very good ones.
Favorite Book: Maybe JRR Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings"
Favorite Author: I don't know either JRR Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, ...
Favourite Programming Language: C (I only know basic and C)

Do you hate naming 'favorites'? I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. It's just difficult to me.

Does the end justify the means? It depends on which are the means.

How long have you been playing DROD for? Can't remember. Maybe a litlle longer than two years.

Ever beat DROD? Beated KDD and a lot of other holds. Still haven't tried JtRH (I'll start it at the end of June), but I've beaten the demo.

Should Erik or Clayton make you an Admin? No, thanks. I don't deserve it.

Cat or Dog person: Can't decide.

Origin of Username: It's just a LotR character (yeah, luckily it didn't appear in the movie).

What is your ultimate goal in life? Be happy?

Favourite Game: DROD. Although there are a lot of other good games.

Sweet or savoury? It depends too.

If you were to be trapped on a desert island with one person, who would you choose? The person that I love, Eva.

Three things you probably don't know about me are...
1. I play didgeridoo.
2. I have a Goofy cuddly toy in my room (a gift from my girlfriend).
3. I'm a very indecisive person.

What makes DROD so great in your opinion? It's just your brain vs the hold ('s creator). It doesn't depend on time, it doesn't depend on your dexterity, ... Also it's a discrete game (discrete in time and in space).

What makes the forums so great? Are they great...? Just joking. They're about DROD, the people are nice, they don't mistreat noobs like me (even I'm member nr. 1337), ...

Real Name: Weston Markham
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA)
Age: 31
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'11" (180cm)
Job/Grade/College: Currently unemployed (a.k.a. "Consultant"). Previous position: "Senior Software Engineer".
Religion: No, thank you.
Favorite Band: None, although Soul Coughing, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles do get honorable mention.
Favorite Song: None.
Favorite Type of Music: None.
Favorite Movie: Jackie Chan's "Rumble in the Bronx"
Favorite Book: None.
Favorite Author: None, although Umberto Eco is always very good.
Favourite Programming Language: C++, although I also have soft spots for Prolog and Haskell. And, well, any functional programming language (of which Haskell is one).

Do you hate naming 'favorites'? Well, I do sometimes resent the seeming attitude that one ought to have a favorite for just about any category that a questioner can think of. That said, it's probably better than "So, tell me about yourself."

Does the end justify the means? It can, but always remember slot machines. Most likely, by the time you win the jackpot, you will have stuffed far more money into the thing than the jackpot is worth.

How long have you been playing DROD for? I vaguely recall playing a level or two of a friend's Webfoot DROD when I was in college. I downloaded AE last August, and have been playing more-or-less since then.

Ever beat DROD? KDD and JtRH, yeah.

Favorite DROD level? KDD level 8

Should Erik or Clayton make you an Admin? Probably not.

Cat or Dog person: Cat

emacs or vi? vi. Home keys to navigate, supported out-of-the-box on practically every UNIX system. can't beat that! emacs is nice and all, but I can never understand how folks can even use it without installing "viper" mode. (vi emulation)

Origin of Username: first initial, last name

What is your ultimate goal in life? Leave the universe in a better condition when I exit than when I entered. (curse you, entropy!)

Favourite Game: None. DROD gets honorable mention. As a rule, I don't care for first-person shooters. Considering a very broad sense of the word "Game", I find rock climbing and Frisbee (that is to say, throwing, chasing, and catching Frisbees) fun.

Sweet or savoury? savory. Or savoury, I suppose, if I ever travel to Britain. However, ice cream gets very-honorable mention!

What is the strangest thing you own? I keep a plastic diplodocus (sp?) that wears the outer husk of a mango pit, like a saddle.

What type(s) of the Eight Intelligences are you strongest at? (Linguistic, Spatial, Logical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist, Musical, Kinestethic) Say what?

If you were to be trapped on a desert island with one person, who would you choose? Well, I'm a person, so if the island has one person, I would like it to be me? If I were somehow asked to choose some other person, I expect that I would not do so, for various reasons.

Three things you probably don't know about me are...

I can stuff myself into one of my suitcases. (Well, almost. The one time I asked a friend to try to zip it all of the way closed, he wouldn't do it.)

I was born in the same hospital as my mother.

I once ate a strawberry seeds-first.

What makes DROD so great in your opinion? I can play with the source code! The excellent community-created holds are also a plus. Even without these, it is a very good game, though.

What makes the forums so great? Why, the people, of course!

Real Name: Irene (no last name, sorry, it's an extremely rare one)
Location: Pireaus, Greece
Age: 30
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 170 cm
Job/Grade/College: Teacher (in high-school) of everyone's favourite lessons (modern and ancient Greek, composition, Latin, Literature, history and philosophy)
Favorite Band: Tough one; I'd have to go with Iron Maiden for Metal, ac/dc for Hard Rock, Deep Purple for Rock and Backstreet Boys for Favourite Band to Call Names
Favorite Type of Music: Everything minus rave, hip-hop, rap and the vast majority of pop music
Favorite Movie: Never been able to decide that
Favorite Book: As a bookworm I have many, many nice books I like.
Favorite Author: Way too many. Let's mention Tolkien for introducing me to fantasy books,Kavafis for his sharp poems, Euripides for his philosophy, Jane Austen for being a logical romantic and Prachett for being Prachett
How long have you been playing DROD for? A couple of months.
Ever beat DROD? King Duncan's Dungeon (by reading the Hints for about 10 rooms and practically copying the moves from a demo for another) and two or three one-level holds
Make me an Admin? Nope. My urge to lord it over people keeping both eyes open in case of mischief and getting frustrated are fully satisfied by my every day work
Cat or Dog person: Both though I prefer doggies (probably would have answered different when we had a cat)
Desert island companion None. When miserable I prefer to be alone
Origin of Username:ela_de in Greek is roughly the equivalent of "beats me" which is what I murmured when I was searching for a nick some years back.
What is your ultimate goal in life? None. I don't believe in planning that far ahead
Favourite Game: Anything that requires thinking and is not an action game
Three things you probably don't know about me are...
Only 3?
ok, you probably don't know my mother's maiden name. It's Peksimetzoglou (have fun pronouncing it)
I'm convinced you don't know I hate bananas
I'm not sure, but did you know I couldn't play any instrument to save my life?
What makes DROD so great in your opinion?
The fact that you don't have to rush, the humour in it, the differnt aspects of similar problems which means that you have to keep an open mind to all solutions, the fact that you can close the cursed thing when you are furious and it'll begin from where you left it and of course, the fact that I'm writing in this particular forum
What makes the forums so great?
Don't know yet, I'm a newbie. Ask me later if I stick around
Does the end justify the means? Depends on both really. If the "ends" is to inherit money and the "means" is to murder your sweet old great grand-aunt, no. If the "ends" is to finish that @#*@# action game your brother gave you as a gift and wants to see you enjoy it and progress in it and you cheat so next time he comes around he'll be off your back, yes

Wow...a lot can change in 3 years. Specifically the age thing. But some things also stay the same.

Here cometh a monstrous "about me!" sheet.

Height: 6'1
Job/Grade/College: Senior in college

Beaten? Yes. Not mastered JtRH, but beaten that as well.
Admin: I wouldn't clamor for the responsibility, but if asked, I would do it.
Cat or dog: Dog, but small. Preferrably robotic.
Desert Isle companion: Someone who's happy just being with me, and I'm happy just being with.
Name origins: ZEX=Zelda EXpert, 20913= 20 9 13 = T I M in alphabet code.
Ultimate Goal in life: Currently, become a professor of mathematics, and teach an intro to Calculus course that causes at least 50 students to sign up to be math majors (number dependant upon size of school) and have them all drop the next semester, or the semester after I stop teaching the classes they are in.
Favorite Game: It's between the Zelda series and the DROD series...it really is a series, even if most of it is user made.
3 things you don't know about me:

I did not drink before my 21st birthday, and found a natural tolerance of 10.

The first concert I ever went to was during sophomore year of college.

I get angry when people are not punctual within 5 minutes, but won't show it until at least 30.

Why is DROD so great: It is the best puzzle game, and the most interesting one, that I have ever found.

Why the forums are great: One can be away for a year, come back, and be right back in the swing of things. And all the people are great too.

Does the end justify the means? In statistics, the means justify the end.
So long as nobody gets hurt, I'd say yes, the end does justify the means. But that's the easy situation.
Otherwise, things become dependant.

Okay...maybe that wasn't so monstrous...but it's been more than 3 years, so I thought I should update.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to delete your old post if you update your information? Or alternatively edit the old post. (That's what I've been doing)
Different versions of the same information randomly around the thread are confusing and flood the topic a little too.

I am also going to see Robert Plant on the 24th, but now I'm just bragging.

Game on,

I probably should have posted here first before making another post elsewhere. But here are my vital (and not so vital) stats:

Real Name: Matthew (Matt)

Favorite Movies: Peter Jackson's Lord o' the Rings (not Bakshi's!), October Sky, the Matrix trilogy, U-571, Gone w/ the Wind, Princess Bride, The Incredibles, Emperor's New Groove, the Sandlot, Pay it Forward. I could keep going ad infinitum or ad nauseum.
Favorite Books: Brothers Karamazov, Bible, all Calvin and Hobbes collections, Rascal, John Grisham books, etc.
Favorite Author: Ezekiel, of the Bible. After what he put in his book, I don't know why they sell it to children! They wouldn't even put it on a high school reading list, and those are pretty bad...

Favorite Random Fact: If P is pounds, humans need 1.24090909 * P cans of Mountain Dew to kill them. But I still drink it.
Do you hate naming favorites? Only if I don't have a well-thought answer beforehand.
How long have you been playing DROD for? 4 months, about.
Ever beaten DROD? Yes, KDD.
What level are you on? Did you hear what I just said? Jeesh.
Favorite levels? Level 8, Level 5, Level 19, and Level 25: in that order.
Least favorite levels? Level 9, Level 9, Level 9, Level 21, Level 9, Level 11, Level 13, and Level 9, in that order. Level 13 wasn't really that annoying to me due to luck. Did I tell you how I feel about Level 9?

1. Level 8: 7 South, 3 East
2. Level 7: 2 North, 1 West
3. Level 15: 1 North, 3 West
4. Level 12: 2 North. Oh yeah.

Least favorite rooms?
1. Level 17: 1 South, 1 East
2. Level 9: 1 North, 1 East
3. Say it with me, brothers (and sisters): Level 23, 1 North
4. Level 12: 2 South, 1 East
5. Level 3: 3 South, 1 West
I am not as much an enemy of tedium as I am of pointlessness.
Cat or Dog person? I am indifferent over the question at hand.
Origin of Username? Random whim.
What is your ultimate goal in life? Maybe to be a composer of the aforementioned music types.
What instrument do you play? Piano.
Favorite Game: DROD.
Hobbies: Composing, playing Piano, jumping on my trampolline, creating funny videos with my sister and her friend, reading, thinking. Also, playing DROD.
If you could describe your personality with one word, what would it be? Eccentric, I prefer.
What three things don't I know about you?
* I was born on July 4th and am left-handed. Although absent-minded, I tend to be deeply thoughtful and otherwise useless to the world.
* My social security number, credit card number and PIN number are ... wait! What was I saying?
* I don't have a cell phone (Gasp! Eschew eschew eschew!)
* I can't count.
Proudest moments:
* Getting one-course scholarship at Vassar, to be completed before graduation, for getting a very good score on the SAT in the 8th Grade.
* Having a bookshelf fall off of a dresser onto me, rendering me unconcious. Wait, why is this one on the proundest moments list?
Why do you like the DROD forum? PPL DON"T RGHT LK I M RGHT NW. OMG I H8 WHN PPL DO THT!11111111 ASLO, I LK HOW TEH *CODE* USES LWR CASE BRACKETING, LOL/ IM SO COOL>
Do you program? Yes, I program in the DROD scripting language. Also, QBASIC, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Should you be an Admin? No. The forums might fall into horrible neglect, or follow the usual forum growth curve (up up up, down down down). But on the other hand, enough people are being drawn into DROD and not escaping, so I don't think that this would happen to the DROD forum anyway.
What type(s) of the Eight Intelligences are you strongest at? (Linguistic, Spatial, Logical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist, Musical, Kinestethic) Intelligence? Hey, that's a very creative question. I usually don't think about intelligence while playing DROD. I took this one (non-internet) test that said that I was Musical and Intrapersonal. My worst intellegence type was Interpersonal, but that figures anyway.
If you were on an island, and it suddenly flipped over to be a bowl of pasta, what type would it be? Well, it depends whether it's an island or a desert island. I would be macaroni for a desert island. (NOTE: Sorry, it's an inside joke.)
If you were to be put on a desert island with one person, who would you choose? Answer: Stop there, Mr. Questionaire. Would I be fated to be on this island for the rest of my life? If I could escape, someone nice with a satellite phone would be prefered. If I would be stuck on the island for the rest of life, you should ask the question, "Who would be your ideal spouse?"
Who would be your ideal spouse? Don't ask.

(insert a Horizontal Rule here.)

Well, hopefully you know a little more about me. I agree with Alneyan that there are too many users, but I'm just adding to the problem. Hopefully people will forgive me.

EDIT: This was edited about two months after the initial posting.

I have an awful sense of humour.

I haven't done one, so here goes.

Real Name: Michael
Gender: Male
Home: UK. London.
Age: 21
Hair: Black
Eyes: Dark brown
Height: 5'7" ish
Religion: I love the world, hate evil, type. A novice bhuddist probably.
Job/Grade/College: Bum/Student
Favorite blah blah: Furby?
Favorite Quote: Between two:

"There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way." - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
Do you hate naming favorites? There is no favourite. I love all things that are nice.
How long have you been playing DROD for? 6-8 years? I think? Played the demo, rested, thought I'd check into it again, found out it was free and updated.
Ever beaten DROD? Yes, KDD. I don't have JtRH yet...
What level are you on? All of them?
Favorite level? KKD - 8,22,23.
Cat or Dog person? Dogs, because they don't forget you after 3 weeks.
Origin of Username? Screen name for rpgs generally. I have a habit of either having a name beginning with "Y" or having a name which is exotic or unpronouncible. I'm usually a mage of some sort.
What instrument do you play? Piano (vaguely), laptop, mouth.
Favorite Game: Other than DROD; Street Fighter 2: Turbo, Baldur's Gate 2, Little Big Adventure 1+2.
Hobbies: Doing art, music, gaming, pool, martial arts.
If you could describe your personality with one word, what would it be? Split or (chaotically) Eccentric.
What three things don't I know about you?
I probably know highest number of rude anecdotes than anyone else on this forum.
I like challenging people on the net who live near me to play me at fighting games. It's probably an ice breaker, but I'm competitive with fighting games and some other stuff like dancing.
I have a higher natural resistance to poison due to my +2 to consitution.
Proudest moments: I'm a surprisingly modest guy. So living with no enemies is something that I'm probably proud of, or generally being a nice guy.
Why do you like the DROD forum? Because of the people. If this was a real social lounge, there will be all these people chilling back on brown leather recliners, sipping tea or exotic cocktails discussing issues in the most tolerable manner. You could have any drink you want, so if you want real English ale, you could have it. And the drinks are free, so everybody is happy. And people think outside the box here. Also there is the love of DROD factor...
Do you program? Gah! I used to do Java and I'll never go back, so I can't join your gang...
Should you be an Admin? I don't think I'm around often enough to be one... and I'm ocassionally random.
What type(s) of the Eight Intelligences are you strongest at? (Linguistic, Spatial, Logical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist, Musical, Kinestethic) Intelligence? Spatial, Kinestethic, Naturalist, Musical, Intrapersonal, Logical, and something else the last time I checked the dictionary. My maths has gotten worse since I don't rely on it as much as I used to, so Logical might be stricken of the list. I love art and music, I can (apparently said) dance, kick ass, love sitting in a field and meditating, and I used to like Maths when I was doing lots of it. I was crap at it, but ny like of it made me good at it, eventually.
If you were to be put on a desert island with one person, who would you choose? Bathroom with toilets, with a guy in there spraying you with perfume. Or my friend Mina.

Well, I first registered at this forum before this thread was even created, but never got around to replying to it. So, I guess its never too late..

Real Name: Stephen
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
Age: 20
Hair: Black. I think. Actually, I think it may be dark brown. Wow, I don't even know my own hair colour. This questionnaire is useful after all.
Eyes: Bluey Hazely Greeny something. Yes, I do actually know what I look like, whatever you are currently thinking.
Height: About 5 foot 11.
Job/Grade/College: Can graduate with a BSc this year [in mathematics]. Not sure if I'm continuing at uni or not yet. I have to decide really really soon. And I have absolutely no clue what I want to do.
Favorite Band:
Favorite Type of Music:
--I'm not really a fan of any particular music, though I don't mind listening to anything not too loud.
Favorite Movie: The Matrix.
Favorite Book: My six favourite books are the 6 Harry Potter books, probably in reverse order or so.
Favorite Author: Well, it would be unusual for my favourite author not to write my favourite book. But hey, its true. Agatha Christie. Read nearly every single one.
Hobbies: Maths (yes, thats a hobby, and yes, I write an s at the end of the word). And programming, especially games. Oh, and I play chess, and played piano for a long long time.
Origin of username: One of my friends thought this up, actually. The three Ms stand for, respectively, maths (theres that s again!), master, and my last name. I just go by TripleM now.
How long have you been playing DROD for? Man, it must have been a long time ago. If I joined the forum in early 2003, had been registered to the yahoo groups, and beaten webfoot drod before that.. well, thats several years now.
Ever beat DROD? Yep, webfoot, AE, KDD2, and JtRH. Then again, since its impossible to 'beat' DROD, I could answer no.
Favourite hold(s):An unpublished hold called Ricky's dungeon, by Bibelot, along with all of Jacob's awesome Grinfidel series.
Should Erik or Clayton make you an Admin? Clayton? Heh, I remember him. Oh. Amazingly, this forum seems to be one that doesn't really need admins, eh?
Are there more questions you should be answering but can't think of? Yes.

Favourite hold(s): MetDROiD Prime. The original was awesome, and this .

Ouch. Poor Clayton. Clayton was the original webmaster of this DROD fan site, but he couldn't keep up with it. He's the guy that does the DROD pumpkin every year and other cool stuff...screen name of ClaytonW. His hold Claythro Tower is one of the best ones out there. And he has some great rooms coming up in TCB.

Game on,
