Text; another poll

[alsohawkeye]

Hey everyone.

I'm sure some sort of demographics survey has been done in the past but I haven't seen one since I've been here and I'm curious. I've tried to keep it pretty basic. I know people are touchy about their privacy, and I know some aren't cool with being asked about special abilities/skills/powers/whatever, so obviously skip questions if you want to, no hard feelings. I'd rather just get name/age/planet than nothing at all, you know? Not like I'm going to hunt you down and force you to fill it out. But if you're willing to be more complete that'd be awesome and if there's something you think is important that I didn't include a field for, let me know.

Maybe there's a pattern here somewhere, maybe there's not, but at the very least it might be interesting or provide some useful data for department recruitment or something. Maybe you'll find some friends, whatever.

Thanks!

[postscriptum]

ish, huh? yeah

replicating others abilities though? really? how's that one work?

[askedtobe]

Give or take five years.

Have to touch someone else and then I can do whatever they can.

[postscriptum]

what kind of ship is that?

[postscriptum]

Really? does that go just for special abilities or can you knit perfectly if you touch a pro knitter?

[askedtobe]

As much as it'd be interesting to try out pro-knitting, it only works for special abilities.

[jurisimpudent]

Best of luck. It is my hope that your reputation will carry you further in this than mine did me.

[starbuckslord]

Just your average starship.

[ Of course, he's being modest for once in his life. ]

Probably better tech than this clunker, but it's smaller. Meant just for my team, really.

[alsohawkeye]

That was my question, too. Here's another: do they keep their ability while you have it, or is it a zero sum game?

[alsohawkeye]

So which is worse, here or Iraq?

[alsohawkeye]

thanks! what's a TARDIS?

[alsohawkeye]

It never actually occurred to me until right now that Stiles might not really be your name.

[de_void]

who names their kid stiles stilinski

[askedtobe]

They still keep their ability, nothing happens to them at all. I just replicate it for awhile until I touch someone else who can... do something different.

[alsohawkeye]

1. I didn't know that was your last name, either. 2. I don't know your life, maybe your parents were assholes. Really intensely Polish assholes.

[de_void]

the really intensely polish part is right i guess. at least on my mom's side.

my real name is basically unpronounceable
