I can probably guess the response to these kind of posts from me now....
But it's only a couple of weeks till Christmas so tis the time for games, and I promise this one is very friendly and low commitment! No dressing up or food products required.
While half of you go look for the 'Mute' function let me explain the game to the rest of you.
This one is called 'Lie to me'.
I basically tell you three facts about me. Two are true, one is a lie. First person to spot the lie then gives 2 truths and 1 lie about themselves and the rest of us to have a go at spotting the lie again and we just keep going until we get bored or decide we know more about eachother than we are comfortable with. Can be watch related or not.
EDIT: Actually, instead of the first person to get it right being the next to go I think whoever set the three facts gets to choose the next to go out of all those who gave correct answers. E.g. I get to choose who goes next from those who spot my lie.ย
Me first:
1) I decided to take up scuba diving in order to justify buying dive watches.
2) ย I once tried to capture a squirrel as part of a university scavanager hunt.
3) I used to fly birds of prey.
I'll let a few people guess (presuming more than one person wants to play ๐) and then say which was right and who got it first.
EDIT: My lie has already been guessed! Scroll down to see who's turn we are on now.
As of my last check the current player is @Edge168n and his three 'facts' are:
1. I was a top twenty ranking StarCraft player in North America, high enough ranked that I seriously considered deferring university to go try my luck playing the game professionally in South Korea. ย I only stopped when I realized that my fast twitch reflexes were going at the age of 18. ย They called me Ace of Blades.
2. During the financial crisis, I left my first job out of college in Boston (management consultant) to raise and deploy a distressed debt fund specifically focused on bailing out small to mid sized manufacturing companies who ran into working capital problems after GE Capital failed. ย They called me the Copley Reaper.
3. When I was twenty, I ended up talking my way to a vodka tasting in a steak aging room in New York City with someone that I eventually learned was the most well connected mafioso in St. Petersburg. ย He called me "moy kitayskiy drug" which I ย believe translates to "My Chinese Friend."
I will try to keep this up-to-date but I do need to eat, sleep, work etc ๐

I mean, Iโm going to go with 1) as the lie, because Iโve seen Kes, and the fact that you tried to catch a squirrel is true, you can try but you will never succeed. Even disabled squirrels can tear your finger off.

Maybe you are right ๐
I'll go with 3. Statistically I think the first two are more likely to be true, and that's all the reasoning I've got. ๐

We have.... quarries... which fill with water sometimes ๐
If youโre going in a quarry, youโd be after a 24 hour/day-night complication!
Lady doth protestest too muchโฆ.
I say 1... but then I feel you would have used the term Falconry if you were. so 3 is my answer Liar liar pants on fire!
I'm going to go with 2 being the falsehood.

Using stats to win. You're my kind of geek โค๏ธ
1 is the lie
Scuba?
You should have made this a poll ๐
Can't we just play Spin the Bottle??
3 for sure. 2 is definitely the sort of thing you do in uni after a night out walking back to dorms.ย
And if you grew up enough to go from 2 to 3โฆ then my respect to you.ย
It's 2. We all know we couldn't care about diving in a dive watch. Some of us will wear a 100atm watch just to wash the car. Not saying I would but probably would.๐

If all else fails... Lump the whole world together and use probability to the nest of your ability ๐คฃ
I am going to bed now, so I will leave you in @Edge168ns capable hands.ย
Have fun and don't get the thread band! Or if you have to get it band do it in a blaze of glory!
I was just about to post....do I actually want to win this?
Okay, three lovely little stories about myself.

Which is true? ย ๐๐๐๐
Game going sideways with randomness - but I'm staying on track!
I vote for #2 , since it made me start falling asleep trying to read it. ย Boring is likely true, but I can't bring myself to vote for the interesting stories. ๐

hahaha, it does sound like me, doesn't it? ย Or maybe it's too obvious! ย At least you know one of those loopy stories is true!

Oh dear lord let them all be true!
I'm going to say number 1 is the lie, because I think you would have definitely followed your dream regardless and gone to SK.ย
Whichever of these turns out to be true, the " They called me..." Will now be your new name here.

First and third are absolutely realistic and second is just unbelievable. Not falling for this.ย

It's fun being an agent of chaos. ย I should do this more often!
I would totally change my name, except it breaks all the links!

I mean I do run a hedge fund today so it wouldn't be entirely out of character for me. ย maybe I got started early ๐
Also, how's my Russian?
