Congratulations! You just inherited 2 million dollars. However, it comes with rules. You must give away to needy individuals and/or charities a total of 1 million, leaving you with the other mil. What/who gets the donations, and what do you do with the other?

I'm not sure what I'd do with a million dollars, actually. Whatever portion I choose to keep will get me out of this damn state, and then be stowed away to accrue interest. The rest of the money will go to improve life in some troubled corner of the world, where I can be sure the money will actually get to who I want to donate it to.
What shall I say to thee, rakkoon, thou cruel,
Ingrateful, savage and inhuman creature,
That knewst the very bottom of my soul,
That almost mightst have coined me into gold
Wouldst thou have practiced on me for thy use?
Thank you Djinn in Tonic. Though you still haven't granted me any wishes.
Anyways, up next, we have a person known around the playground for his goodliness, an icon of alignment and the clerical class, Saint Nil!

Any question you would like to know the answer to. What traits do you look for in an ideal pet?
Intelligence is very important, but I also want an animal that loves me. What is the square root of Pi?

My ITP persona is who I wish I was in real life. Sadistic choice time! You must choose to save either the life of your most loved one or the lives of a large group of strangers. Which do you choose?
Curse your sudden but inevitable question!!!!! I hate to say this, but the right thing to do is save the larger group. Hopefully through my sacrifice they will be learn about the greater good in the world. It took me five minutes before I could answer this question. What is your favorite word?
What is your least favorite word?
A certain slur word that uses my God's name in vain. I despise that phrase. What makes you enthusiastic?
What disappoints you?
Evil, not reaching my own standards, and people around me not reaching certain standards. What sound do you love?
What sound do you hate?
Very loud noises. It can be the most beautiful sound on the planet, but after a certain volume it turns into agony. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Lots!! President, Supreme Court Justice, CEO, missionary, many career options to choose from. What profession would you not like to participate in?
Sanitation jobs. I don’t mind dirt, but some things I do not want to handle. I greatly respect the people who do this for the rest of us, but it is not a career I would like to pursue.

Blue Bunny Double Strawberry. Its simply divine. What is your theme song?

I want to say I’m Lawful Good, but I don’t believe I help others enough to actually claim good alignment by D&D standards. What is your Magic: The Gathering color?
White/Blue What is the meaning of life?
Forum rules prevent me from answering. What are your thoughts on:
Love?
First Corinthians 13.
Friendship?
Friends help you accomplish what you alone never could.
Freedom?
Without it, there is no joy. However, you don't know what it is until your experience it.
What is the color of your aura?
I'd love for it to be something along the line of Gold, but I can't see auras. What does your essence taste like?
Sweet tea probably. What’s your elemental affinity?
No, I often feel a strong pull to many different elements depending on the time. Who would you ask to the next Playground Prom, if we had one?
No idea. Are you part of any other online communities?
No. How often do you clean out your PM box?
After I hit 80%, I start deleting the unnecessary. What fictional character do you most identify with?
Socks: Yes or no?
In Summer, defiantly no. Any other time is okay. Would you rather date Sabine or Miko?
Miko and I would have vastly different religious beliefs we could never compromise on, so Sabine. She would find me pretty boring compared to her tastes, so I doubt we’d last. What do you think of me?
You’re an awesome force for good and every day you make the world a better place just by being you. Do you have IM or any other way for me to contact you off the Playground?
No.

1. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? If so, who?
Yes, too many to name. 2. What is one thing about yourself you're the most proud of?
3. Roses or orchids?
Orchids, less cliché and more pun potential. 4. What sustains you, keeps you going every day?
My loving deity. 5. How did you get to be so awesome?
See above answer. 6. Where were you ten years ago, and what do you know now that you wish you knew back then?
I was in elementary school, and I would tell myself to ignore what the others said. Nothing they say can bring you down. 7. If the human race vanished tomorrow, leaving only you and one other person to keep you company, who would you want that person to be?
8. Who is one person who died before you were born that you'd most like to speak with?
Moses, George Washington, Eisenhower, and my Great Grandfather. 9. When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be remembered/what do you want to be remembered for?
I want to be remembered as one who always did the right thing and helped others to do the same. I’d also like to be remembered as the world’s greatest leader, but that’s another goal.
10. Ga! These questions have taken a turn for the depressing! Quick, what is your favorite lolcat!? (Bonus cookies for posting a pic.) 11. What super-power would you want to use to stop Godzilla if he was attacking where you live?
Mind control him(her?) into working with me rather than being a tool of random desctruction.
12. Beards or babies?
Beard, because I can’t ever seem to grow one. 13. Have you ever made up a word? If so, what is that word and what is its definition?
As a child I would, but nothing I remember. 14. Define the following word: whiloplenulent?
Someone excessively cheerful and happy. 15. What's an old-fashioned song or short schmaltzy bit of poetry that's stuck in your head?
”Come on Eileen,
I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything…” 16. Favorite mythological monster?
Dragons, griffins, simurghs, too many to choose. 17. Enough of this! I am your arch-nemesis! Where will we fight our final, climactic battle?
In an ancient temple holding a weapon of infinite power in the middle of a star in another dimension. 18. In #17, above, did you defeat me? If so, how?
As you were about to strike me down in a final blow, I called Ghost Busters used my ultimate techinique only I can use because of my special bloodline blocked and fought until your arrogance and lust for power caused you to be destroyed when you attempted to use a forbidden technique. 19. Do you prefer the silly questions or the serious ones?
I like them both. 20. Why did you decide to submit yourself to these torturous, probing questions?
I keep to myself and don’t offer information most of the time and this is a trait I’m working to overcome. I need to be more silly/friendly.
If I haven’t answered a question, it means I’m coming back to it.

Would you rather learn to fly a helicopter or an airplane?
Airplanes are cool, but helicopters have more maneuverability and less restrictions. Give us a rundown of your favorite/ideal meal.
Prime rib with a side of mashed potatoes and baked apples, all served with a Coke. For dessert a fresh peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. What do you get when you cross a duck, monkey, horsefly, and a yeti?
An average Gamma World character.
Post restriction

The meaning has changed over time. Originally when I was first introduced to D&D, I thought the mystic theurge class was awesome and wanted my name to reflect that. I chose the word saint to relfect divine casting and Nil for arcane magic (Nil was the name I gave my blackmage in FFI).
Now however, it represents that how bymyself I am inginificant (Nil) but through the grace of Him I can strive towards being a saint. What's your ITP persona's backstory?
I don't quite understand the question. Do you mean my NEXUS character background or my persona's personality's background? What's your own backstory?
A secret.
How much good do you think it's possible to achieve on the Internet?
Plenty, charitable donation websites do an excellent job of organizing relief and earning money for the less fortunate while the internet also allows people to organize themselves to make a real change where they live (Egypt, and I'll say nothing more to avoid politics)
Then there is always the power to talk to strangers half-way across the world
and convince them how great being good is. How much do you think you have achieved?
Nowhere near enough.
What's your fondest memory in the Playground?
Hmm, while the ITP competition was fun and all the friends I've made here are amzing moments, helping to found GLoG is one of my fondest.

How about both?
NEXUS character's background sort-of shifts around. It was less a character and more just a way to hang out at GLoG. Which fits Nil's personality that looking back doesn't help, you must look to the future.
As for my persona's personality, its an idealized version of what I try to live up to in real life.
Also, how did you come to the Playground?
My brother introduced me to OOTS, and then one day at school I tried to get on and was blocked. The reason? GiTP has forums on it.One lucky day the site was no longer blocked and just to find out why forums were such a big deal, I got on teh forums. The rest is history.

If others enjoy it, great for them. Not my thing. Good Sir, are you aware that you are currently glowing?
....huh? *looks at hand* OHMYGOSH WHAT ON EARTH
*catches breath*
Of course I know, I'm casting a spell.*takes hand to a doctor* Will you Buy my book?
What is your book? Do you know any vulnerable publisher's son's and/or daughter's I can kidnap and hold at ransom for actual book-publishing rights?
Umm, nope. *hides list* What about ones I can flirt with until they give in to my charms?
Thats every publisher.

What... is your quest?
To be the very best, like no one ever was! What... is your favorite color?
Gold.
Have you heard of Ted Dekker?
Until this moment, no. Have you read any of his books?
Again, no. If so, which is your favorite?
If not, go look him up on your local library's website.
Already did when I didn't recognize the name. Looks pretty cool, I'll check some of his stuff out.

Thought you'd be interested. I already got Blue Ghost reading his books.
Oh, do I need to post a question? Uh... oh!
Nah. What is your favorite number?
I like lots of numbers. 9, 11, 89, it depends on the context.

I noticed your avatar has a staff on its back. Does it ever get used?
I once gave it to Happyturtle in the first few GLoG threads. What does it do?
Powers of healing and an aura of calm. Before it represented a symbol of arcane power, while my holy symbol represented divine power.

What was the last book of fiction you read?
Fever Dream by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston.
How was the forum different when you joined?
More of the "Old-timers" were active. Besides that, nothing really.
