Ask Doctor Robotnik!

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

have you or do you plan on stealing Christmas?
as a doctor are you capable of diagnosing mental health problems?
how do you feel about kids?
do you like turkey?
have you ever been involved in politics?(I feel like I asked that one before)

- Some of my counterparts have attempted that. I still haven't quite gotten over just how mindbogglingly stupid the very concept is. No, I have not and do not plan on doing this.
- I'm a genius doctor, not a medical doctor. Being a genius though, yes. Yes I can. I, for example, am completely sane.

COMPLETELY.
- Fine, as long as they stay away from me.
- I'm interested in earth as a whole, not just any country in it, really. (Yay for interstellar ambitions! Yes, so I changed my mind there. Consistency is the defense of a small mind.)
- Technically, I always have been, ever since I started trying to take over the world and oust all standing political systems and replace them. With ME.

What do you plan on getting each EP member for Christmas?
Do you in tend on lowering taxes when/if you get in power?
Whats your favorite movie?

- A new government!
- Plotting on taking all your money will take place after my inevitable conquest, but technically speaking you won't pay any taxes. Everything will be mine by rights anyway.
- I present you with a short film made by one of my... colleagues. While, regrettably, his ambitions clash rather violently with mine, they are also quite similar to mine.

I give you... DOCTOR STEEL.

Still, if I have to lose, losing out to him could be the best-case-worst-case-ever-scenario.

Hah, who'm I kidding? He's going DOWN!

whos the fairest of them all?

Apparently some princess bint who got banished from some castle somewhere.

Yes, I realise she's a fairytale bint. Do I LOOK like a mirror to you?

Can I get you an Xmas Gift

[Darklinky]

And Me?

if violence is never the answer whats the answer to the question "what is never the answer?"

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

My answer would be a pained silence at a silly seeming paradox.

Allow me to reciprocate though with my own question:

Was your question rethorical, or just silly?

[luffy4]

more or less asking the doctor to solve a paradox

[Grouch]

ah your answers gave me a good laugh.

do you like solving puzzles?
who do you predict will ask another question after me?
do you ever give your robots names and not just numbers?
day or night?
if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around does it make a sound?

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

Who are you talking to? I'm the doctor, I'd expect you to reference to me as "you" here. All the same, yes you asked me to solve a paradox. Given their unsoluble nature, I gave as close an approximation to an answer as would be coherently possible. A spirited attempt to catch me out, to be sure, but not today, sorry. Your line-puzzle was more successful.

ah your answers gave me a good laugh.

Always happy to oblige. Now, to your questions.

- Sometimes. It's a good way to keep the mind active. However, if I'm working on my next scheme, I'd rather be solving the puzzle of how to work out the power source for my latest creation than the puzzle posed by random people. No offense, of course, and I will still attempt to solve these puzzles. I'll just rush them, and possibly make mistakes.
- Given the people posting at the moment, it'd be either Jack Spicer, Kouen, or you again. Still, new or returning posters are always welcome. Spread the word!
- Yep. Metal Sonic is an example. So is 5A-55. It might've been his serial number to start with, but the name "Sass" was given to him, given that it fits, and works well with the little guy. Most of them will have numbers though. Individualising all my bots is nigh impossible.
- Huh?
- Naturally. You pose that the tree would fall in the forest, thus there will always be life-forms around able to perceive the sound in some way or another. If these lifeforms were also not around, the forest would not exist as it would not possibly be able to sustain itself, also making the existence of the falling tree an utter impossibility. Therefore, yes, a tree falling in the forest will always make a sound, because there will always be someone around to hear it.

Philosophy is nice and all, but silly questions are silly, whether philosophical or not. I figured that one out in minutes.

*OOC Note: I as Lasharus actually stole this explanation from a fantasy series I read quite some time ago. If you can name it, you may have a cookie*

You know the signs on restaurant doors? No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service? what if someone goes in with No Pants? Would the restaurant still have to serve them?

You know the signs on restaurant doors? No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service? what if someone goes in with No Pants? Would the restaurant still have to serve them?

This question is actually one of the reasons I want to take over the world. Stop rules-lawyering the world to death and bloody use common sense for once you bloody stupid sods that inhabit this bloody stupid PLANET!

And no, the restaurant would not have to serve them. Let us call it an implied dresscode. No shirt/shoes is something that can occur, but is a special rule that needs enforcing. No pants is something that SHOULD NOT occur, and as such doesn't need to be separately mentioned unless people decide to mindlessly screech "IT NOT IN RULES HUR DUR I R GENIUS!"

"Yes, that's nice. You're also not wearing any pants, now GET OUT OF MY RESTAURANT!"

How do you find the time for all your plans and still run this thread?

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

How do you find the time for all your plans and still run this thread?

Even a master scientist needs his breaks. My plots can be set in motion at any time when they're finished, and I'm currently between schemes. Given that, I take enough breaks to keep my mind in peak condition. Answering questions here as a result is a nice form of relaxation.

Would you have already taken over the world if Sonic was never created/born?

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

Would you have already taken over the world if Sonic was never created/born?

Well, yes. Sonic has been the primary thorn in my side for ages now. With that wretched ball of spines out of the way, the world would fall to me without trouble. All his other friends were nuisances, yes, but they can't take me down without Sonic!
