    Do all of these posts have to be transcribed on a new toilet roll for each reply between the esteemed doctor and that shane person?

    Now now, be nice. I respond to drivel as well as intelligent questions. I only have one rule, which can be found in the OP, as you know.

    Of course, I reserve the right to stop answering questions if people are being idiots, but that's my decision.

    Dear Doctor, Could you instigate a maximum of 5 questions per post rule so I dont wear out scroll wheels on my mice every week trying to read this thread.

    ...

    Still, I think it would be (probably) good for your health, doctor, imposing some sort of limit to... well, not wear you out.

    Spoiler warning:
    Or you can simply take (a lot) more time answering...

    I wouldn't mind a limit, Kouen's number seems reasonable.
    1). Do you think it's creepy how much robots look like humans now? I think it's sooo creepy..
    2). Do you think machines/robots will revolt against us someday?
    3). What do you think about a Japanese guy marrying a video game character? Yes, it's a legal marriage!

    This kind of green was the green I was talking about.
    The browns remind me of trees.

    (2) Would you make a list of all your favourite video games when you got the chance and have nothing else to do (other than thinking of ways to capture Sonic)?

    Yeah, exactly 312 fears. Including a fear of milk. Which makes me wonder if detective Adrian Monk has hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

    Yes, I did. However, I could do it without even breaching the dimensions. There's a Shane "Bane" Neumann in that dimension too. That's how.

    I know you didn't tell me to give up. To stop trying is, for me, similar to "give up."

    Yeah, it's almost worse than falling off a ladder, landing on my neck (on a bed), falling off that onto the floor on my neck, hitting my head against a steel chair, and getting scratched by three cats 300 times in total.

    (3) What is your full name? Or is "Ivo" your full name?
    (4) What do you think would happen if Sonic decided to help you for an unknown reason?
    (5) Has anyone who isn't one of Sonic's friends ever annoyed you a lot?

    Also, if I have been idiotic, I apologize.

    - Several involving the Chaos Emeralds, but they go beyond 'tricks'. Trust me on this one.
    - Okay okay, I get the hint, I'll look into limiting the number of questions.
    - I don't have one. I might create one at some point, but don't hold your breath.

    1 - Because despite your ideals being diametrically opposed to mine, you're an immensely capable fighter and willing to stand up for your beliefs. I can respect that.
    2 - Well, since I'm a living, breathing organism, I'm inclined to say 'yes'.
    3 - Not at this time. Perhaps later I'll feel the urge to settle down.
    4 - 'all the time' is stretching it a little, don't you think? It was only the one time, really.
    5 - Because their last two console outings weren't exactly raving successes. The Saturn bombed, and the Dreamcast didn't do too much better. So they cut out of the console market, and now work together with their former competitor. It worked out for them.
    6 - I'd measure it, but I'd need serious digging equipment.
    7 - The only one I knew, a little, was my grandfather, Professor Gerald. He... well, let's just say his genius ran up against GUN. Who killed him.

    1 - To an extent. I've built an infiltrator series once, made to look like duplicates of key figures, but I decided to can the concept in the end. I'm trying to stop underhand corrupt methods, not cause them. Plus, they did get a little unnerving.
    2 - A few already did, but I don't expect large-scale revolutions. I tend to do well by my machines, and they do well by me. Including the ones that have advanced free will AI.
    3 - Some people disturb me...

    EDIT IN RESPONSE TO KOUEN'S POST:

    I did not post that. I don't even know what the Lord of the Rings are.
    1 - Because even if Sonic fell for it, Tails would not.
    2 - I doubt I'll ever have that little to do. Really.
    3 - Ivo is my full name. It's also a stealthy pun on 'Eggman', as 'ovi' is latin for egg. My parents appear to have had some foresight. That or it's just a silly coincidence.
    4 - I'd try to make it a known reason as soon as possible. I've had dubious help often enough to be a little mistrustful, especially if it comes from a lifelong foe.
    5 - Well, Shadow isn't necessarily one of Sonic's friends. He's one of those 'I'm a loner, and so very emo' types. So Shadow remains the answer.

    About the other points:
    - You didn't breach dimensions then, and you didn't do sod-all then. Dimensional counterparts are not you. They're the 'you' from another dimension. They are their own separate beings.
    - You haven't been idiotic (with the exception of the 'why are you called Eggman' question, I must admit), just a little too verbose. Lengthy quotes followed by a large number of questions do lead to fairly long posts, after all.

    All right all right, going by popular demand, I'm instating a new rule for the thread.

    Questions are limited to 10 questions per post. If you intend to add random remarks, the limit is reduced to 5 questions per post.

    That's my offer, ladies and gentlemen. Take it or... well, you don't have a choice.

    This spoiler contains somewhat random remarks. It probably works better that way to shorten the length of posts before the spoiler is opened.

    Now, only two questions.
    (1) If you could learn two languages that you don't know, what would it be?
    (2) What do you think of schools punishing entire classes for something that one or five students did?

    A masterful description, and quite amusing as well. I've taken the liberty of using it on the original post of this thread (credit given, of course).

    That's a workable solution.

    1 - Japanese, mostly out of curiosity. And secondly... hrm, I'm not sure. Perhaps Chinese, for the same reason.
    2 - Idiocy. Nothing quite as silly in my view as pre-emptive punishment.

    On your other remarks:
    - This method of post formatting works, so no worries.

    I don't have 1,000,000 questions.
    Just one.
    How is this thread doing in your opinion?
