Secret Identity. It's a game where someone choses a theme and all the CBers pick a name that has to go with that theme and then everybody guesses who everyone else is. I think there's a flower SI going on it Pudding's Place

Posted a comment? (Well, you just did.)

Clearly, yes! :) 

Posted a thread?

Yeah! 

Posted a thread in 'This month'?

Yup! I made something congratulating people who'd been published once. 

Posted something in every single 'place to chat?'

No, I have never posted a thread to the Inkwell. 

Named your captcha?

Yeah, her name's Eevee. 

Gotten a captcha that was an actual word?

A couple times. 

Had an AE (or do currently)?

His name's Counter, and he isn't very active or well known. 

(ahem)"Killed off" an AE?

Nope! 

Replaced an AE that you (ahem) got rid of? 

Again, nope! 

Participated in an RP?

Several! One that actually finished! 

Participated in a ski lodge?

Sort of, but none of them really took off. 

Participated in a pie war?

I don't think I have. 

Hosted an RP? (I think 'hosted' is a good term)

No. 

Hosted a ski lodge?

No. 

Hosted a pie war?

No. 

Commented on a thread that was more than three months old?

Hmm... do you mean one that hadn't been posted on in three months, or one that was still active after three months? I've never posted on a dead thread, to my memory. 

Commented on a thread that was more than three years old?

Again, do you mean one that is dead or alive? The Art Thread is more than three years old, I think, and I have posted to that. 

Wrote a short story?

A few times. 

Posted a picture or photo?

Yeah! 

Truly understood what a captchAE is?

In theory. I've always thought of a CAPTCHA as a sort of pet, so I think it's a bit odd to have one as an AE. I'm sure some people like it, though! 

Typed AE like Æ? (In case you're curious, hold down 'alt' and type '0198' on your keyboard. Tada!)

Ooh, thanks for showing me how to do that! But isn't it supposed to just be AE? It stands for Alter Ego, not an ashe or whatever that thing's called. 

Witnessed an impersonator in action?

Unfortunately, yes. 

Witnessed one of the "wars"?

A couple. I've never been too involved. 

Known a CBer in real life?

Almost! I was so close to meeting one, but then the scedule didn't work out and we couldn't meet up. 

Been featured in the magazine?

I think two or three times? 

Been an administrator?!

Nah. You have to be an adult.
