Rapper TI

[edit]

My name is Michael A. Flake I am a Vocational Rehab Specialist here at the Charlie Norwood VA Med Center here in Augusta GA. I read in artical that TI was interested in helping homeless Veterans, that is what I try daily to do. I do not know how to get a message to him if you can help I would apreciate it so we can help some homeless Veterans my e-mail address is [hidden]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.130.7.129 (talk) 18:22, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael. I've hidden your email address for your safety, which is pretty standard fare here. This page purports to be TI's agency and has information on booking him for events. I'm not sure how successful you'll be, but as a VA worker, perhaps you'll get somewhere. Good luck. --BDD (talk) 19:04, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown boardgame

[edit]

Looking for the name of a boardgame. It had the usual spiral track leading towards the centre (first to the centre, obviously). It came with a marker pen and one had to write the names of persons all the players knew on the board. This is where my memory gets a bit blurry, but, there were a great deal of "question cards" and the players had to guess that person's preference or answer to the questions on the cards. As far as I can recall the board was mostly purple? Sorry I can't be any more specific than that. Would greatly appreciate any assistance or help with this. Thank you! 86.11.247.18 (talk) 20:11, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like Imaginiff. An example question would be "If [name] was an animal, what would they be?" with a short list of alternatives and players vote on an option based on the person's personality etc. Those who choose the most popular answer advance to the centre. It often results in wild exclamations along the lines of "As if So-and-so would be a cat?! She is clearly a dog!". My childhood (Australian) version was in a dark blue box and the spiral on board was a pinky-purple. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.20.115 (talk) 06:48, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! Yes! That's the game. Thank you SO much. I truly appreciate your help, friend. I'm so happy now. Thank you! 86.11.247.18 (talk) 18:40, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
