Guilty or Not Guilty II

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. 

TNP follows Major League Baseball.

[Top Cat]

Not guilty. I don't follow any sportsball. I hear Curling is good this time of year, though.

TNP prefers to binge-watch entire seasons of shows, rather than watch one episode a week.

[LostInTheMist]

Guilty, though not to such an extent that I WON'T watch shows a week at a time. I'd rather binge them, but if that's not an option, and I really want to see the show, I will watch it a week at a time.

TNP has not yet gone over entirely to streaming services, and still has cable tv of some sort.

[Samael]

Not guilty.
I cut the cable over a decade ago, and just went straight online with everything.

The next person has written nihilistic poetry

[Top Cat]

Not guilty. (Nihilistic poetry practically has to be free verse, doesn't it? )

Housekeeper for a month in a house with 20 cats, or 20 dogs?

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. Never been a house keeper.

TNP owns at least two pets.

[Random]

Guilty. I have two indoor cats, and two outdoor cats.

TNP has part of a song stuck in their head, and they can't for the life of them remember what the song is called.

[RainyHigh]

Not guilty, I know the name of the song.

The next poster has rolled some dice in the past week.

[Random]

Guilty, in the virtual sense. Started a new D&D campaign over the weekend!

TNP collects something obscure.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I collect shot glasses. Even though I no longer drink.

TNP has done illegal (at the time they did them) drugs.

[Katy von Tease]

Not guilty. It's just not my type of jam.

TNP never considers their unread-book-pile before buying another one; 'cause they'll definitely read this one!

[Lirliel]

Guilty as *charged*

TNP uses their imagination to craft a story for themselves before they go to bed.

[LostInTheMist]

Somewhat guilty. Mostly what I do before I fall asleep is think about the games where I owe replies, if any, and craft replies in my head. By thinking of them last thing before I fall asleep, I often have a post ready when I wake up, which is often further refined while I'm in the shower. If I don't owe any replies, THEN I might dream up new scenarios, worlds, or stories for the future.

TNP has recently (say, in the last six months) played in/run an RP that went in a completely unexpected direction, but one that you enjoyed nonetheless.

[Lirliel]

Guilty, I started her as being a bit of a sexy bard, but she ended up joining the harpers, becoming an investigator into a Pirate gang and brought said pirate gang down. Without ever having to use her fanny to get what she wanted, just flirting.

TNP has gone full on stereotype at least once during an RP.

[LostInTheMist]

Guilty. Who hasn't? A throwaway NPC doesn't necessarily need a lot of personality, if you even bother with a name. Stereotypes are a little bit on the lazy side, sure, but put a bunch of people you don't know together, and at least initially they read like stereotypes even IRL.

TNP believes that, when it comes to writing, "rules are meant to be broken."

[Lirliel]

Hmm.. not guilty. Rules, in writing, at least, for me mean consent. If you mean writing together, like we do on E.

TNP has at least once in their life experienced a moment that this quote would cover;

 "A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection."

[LostInTheMist]

Ah, no, what I meant by "rules in writing" are rules like, "no sentence fragments; avoid run-on sentences' always capitalize the word 'I'; don't begin sentinces with prepositions; use a new paragraph every time a new person speaks; always show, never tell," etc. What makes writing fun for me is being able to break those rules for dramatic effect. Consent is a rule of interaction, rather than writing, and one that should never be broken.

Anyway, in response to your prompt, I think guilty. Waking up early in the morning on a scouting trip to Yellowstone, while we were in Idaho ahead a full-day bus trip. The sun was just coming up, and there were wisps of fog drifting across a completely still pond, in perfect silence.

TNP enjoys backpacking. (In the, taking a backpack into the wilderness, and hiking every day to a new campsite sense.)

[Top Cat]

Not guilty. I have some low-end stamina - that is, I can keep walking even when I'm exhausted, even when other people want to give up - but I'm not really fit enough for hiking. I once did a hike in Yosemite with my wife and cousin, and my cousin ended up moving ahead and getting down the mountain in ~6 hours. My wife and I ended up reaching the bottom of the hike at ~11 PM, more than 11 hours after we started, because my wife kept needing to stop to rest. I supported her and practically carried her for the last half-mile. I'd do it again, but I wouldn't relish it or look forward to it with anticipation at all.

TNP has replaced both keyboard and mouse within the last year.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I don't use a mouse on my laptop, and the optical scan ones on my desktop computers are (for the moment) working just fine as well. Keyboards too are largely functional.

TNP has had to use Terminal on a Mac, or DOS on a Windows computer to fix a computer problem in the past year.

[imalux]

Guilty! I'm (somewhat) tech savvy and help people with their remote desktops and server hosting on occasion, so that requires CMD access  and my main writing computer is a Mac whereas my gaming-rig is Windows so I get the best of both worlds or something.

TNP desperately needs to wash their car. 

[Lirliel]

It's supposed to be rain, so that will certainly wash the car? So semi-guilty

TNP has shoplifted.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. Even as a "rebellious teen" I was very law-abiding.

Passing it on.

[CyrodilicBrandy]

guilty - a few times as an actual kid and then quite a bit when i got older.  there's a whole story to it but the short of it is that i was basically coerced into doing it :'c 

passing it on. 

[Katy von Tease]

Guilty. Billion dollar megacorps can suck it. Never from small family owned places though.

I don't feel like breaking the chain, and I wanna know who the other klepto's are, so passing it on too. :)

[Samael]

Not guilty.
Never been a thing I saw myself doing.

The next person can sing an obscure song by memory
