What do I do.

[William]

Another get to know eachother topic. What do you all do for a living.

I will tell you what I do to I am just waiting to hear Demonsharks guess as to what I do ;-)

[rollie]

i think i know,what you do!!

[William]

Ok. Your welcome to guess.
Everyone is welcome to guess.

[DemonShark]

you are a diving guide?

or your a huge fianically business man of oil prices which lets you have vacation all over the wolrd while we pay for your gas lol

[William]

Wrong and wrong. I do not come from money.

I am interested to know Rollies theory to;-)

[rollie]

not ready to say yet. but there only the few things it could be.

[William]

Ok. whenever you a ready to take a guess. I am really impressed if you figured it out.

[NorthernBoy]

You are either a International Man of Mystery or a Traveling Male Gigalo. Is your real name William or Duece?

[William]

Who says I cant be both ;-)

I think I will rename this topic to "what do I do" and start a new one to find out what you do.

[rollie]

I not saying what i think you do yet. let look at your life so far, name william berg, age 26?, born 1980?. from sweden, but was you born there? 1 year of africa & latin. 6 years of law studies at university, couple of years business administration, study russian in moscow for a year, was still in russia as of dec. 13 04, at some point after that , STARTED TRAVELLIN WITH HIS WORK, while you were in russia, that was to do with the forigh deparetment_they paid fir it? been to at least 9 or 10 country so far. you should be albe to tell, i got to much time on my hand. as i said i never wade my guess yet. the above is what you had told us all readly.

[William]

Well most of that is right. Some minor errors. It should be said equivalent to 6 years law studies. Also I wasn’t in Moscow in December I left Moscow during the summer 2005.

And to give you some extra info I can confirm that I am born in Sweden with Swedish heritage but not as but not as William Berg.

I be happy to answer question to until you feel you can make a guess.

[William]

I can also add that I stay longer in each country than I would need to.

[rollie]

you seen to of said ,that william berg, is not your real name, is this right? one question do you eat meat. you said somthing in one of your post that make me think you might not eat meat, do you eat meat?

[rollie]

also the name berg. what country does it come from,is it a jewish name, my brain tell me it is, but is it. once l get all this infor, then i will say what i think. i know i going to be wrong, but we will see.

[William]

Wiliam Berg is my real name, the name that appears on my passport today. It's just not the name I was given at birth.

William Berg is a swedish name and have no jewish conections.Allthough you could tracer the origin of my heritage and my name Berg to Germany if you move back far enough which likely is why you feel its a jewish name as a number of german jews carried it aswell allthough the name is German rather than Jewish.The name Berg means mountain.

[rollie]

last night i went into sweden birth records, and i found that you were never born. now i know why. you changed your name, which i know!!.my answer is going to be a bit vague. i belive that you do one of four things. No. 1 is: work for the goverment of some country, in one way or another, whick inculde sweden, un, or one or more other country, but are connect in some way to the goverment. No. 2 you are connect to one of these groups, that is trying to save the world, ie_ greenpeace, save the whales, save the kids or one of them kinds or types.No. 3 could be a reporter. No. 4 connect to the amry. well that what i thing. now do not fall over,and hurt yourself, from laughing to hard.

[Full3R]

i think he's a clone of some sort of alien from hawaii

[William]

You went in to the Swedish birth records. You do have too much time on your hands;-)

Don’t worry, I’m not laughing, I never expected you to figure it out as there aren’t to many clues in my past to help you. Put I can se why you came to these conclusions.

1. I do not work for any government. I think I am best seen as self employed.
2. I am not nor have I ever been connected to any of those groups or their likes.
3. Your best guess as I have worked as this in the past and do still write from time to time on a freelance basis. This is however only a minor source of income.
4. I am not nor have I ever been a part of the army.

Should we continue the game?
In that case, any new questions?

[William]

i think he's a clone of some sort of alien from hawaii

Your right but don't tell anyone.

[Full3R]

are you an alien clone from hawaii

[William]

Of course I am ;-)
but what do I do?

[rollie]

by changing your name, that mean there a paper trail, just got to find it, i know who could find it but he away on a trip. oh well i guess we will never know or will we.

[William]

Sure you will. It has never been a secret I just wanted to se if you would be able to guess it as you said you thought you knew.

Sure there is a paper trail but I doubt it would tell you much. It doesn't say what I have been doing since I left sweden. Well maybe if you got a hold of my bank record ;-)

[William]

That’s not true. The paper trail would tell you a number of easily dismissed erroneous facts.

[Full3R]

maybe previousley u owned an aquarium shop, got some money, wen on the trip u are currently on and u are travelling for now and when u get to the end of your trip u will get another job

[William]

Could have been true but no. I work at the moment and have never owned a pet store.

[rollie]

wonder what pass port records . might say. but i might not be able to get into them. plus others records to. i better stop before the police come looking for me.

[William]

Don’t worry. Stalking isn’t an international offence ;-)

Aren’t passport records individual for each country so that you would have to check the records for each country?

Also passport records don’t show travels within EU and a number of other European countries.

But you might not need the records, you can just ask me for the info you would like to get from them.

[William]

A clue is that some of you may have my job as a hobby. (not fish related)

[Full3R]

are you a pro skater

[DemonShark]

your a female? cause if you didnt change your first anme maybe your last? o are you the secret swedish hit and run squad? lol

[NorthernBoy]

Are you a Photographer? Maybe on contract assignment with numerous newspapers or periodicals. Russia for the Econimist covering the Ukrainian elections last year. Maybe in Mexico covering a story on the Mexican soccer team for the World Cup in Germany this year. We know you have a underwater camera,,,those can't be cheap.

[William]

A must say that I rather like this thread. Nice to hear you guesses;-)
Anyway the nswers to your questions above

I am not a pro skater

I am a male. And did change my first name. I ws born with my present last name. And lastly I am not part of a hti and run squad, what would one of those do anyway. Hit enemies of the state with cars?

I am not a Photographer? I only take pictures as a hobby. Allthough I do have a frined that did cover the Ukrainian elections last year.

[William]

Ok. I give you anothr clue. What I do might not be legal where you live.

[Full3R]

ADULT MOVIE STAR! or a smuggler

[William]

haha No
I said might be illegal where you live. Smuggling is illegal everywhere.

Also I said that some of you might have it as a hobby. Are you an amatuer adult movie star? Is that your secret hobby?

[Full3R]

*sniffles* yes sir, what does it got to do with

[William]

lol.

[SCOOTER]

You run a Casino.

[William]

Your closer than anyone else have been so far.

[rollie]

you are a professional gambler.

[DemonShark]

O i know !
You made a bet with the mafia and gambled but you lost and now thier after you because you owe them money and thats why you changed your name so your a gambler who is running away and is an aquarist sceintist person

[William]

Rollie is right. I play NH texas holdem poker for a living.

I guess you see now why I didn't think you would find any clues in my past, Rollie ;-)

[William]

Demonshark: I think you watch to many movies ;-)

[NorthernBoy]

I see you are also a writer. Ever published in Card Player. My favorite magazine!!!!

[William]

Not as far as I know. Think it is another William Berg but just to make sure, what was the article about.

I take it you play a lot to NorthernBoy if you read card player magazine.

[Full3R]

How much do you get on the avarage William?

[William]

Enough to live on it but no fantasy numbers ;-)

[rollie]

i know you was going to say somthing like that.

[William]

of course I was.
Besides it varies to much month to month to really say an avarage.

[Full3R]

i one $30 dollars playing poker at skool in the boys toilets once

[William]

Congrats ;-)
which type?

[Full3R]

not sure, you see, they just kinda tricked me into losing $10 first in then as i played i had to get the highest number ut not above 21 and i won an extra $30 plus my original $10

[SCOOTER]

Sounds like Blackjack to me.

[Full3R]

thats the one, you only get three cards to start of dont ya?

[SCOOTER]

One card down, followed by one up, then you can hit (receive additional cards) as long as you don't bust (go over 21).

[Full3R]

yep thats it

[William]

Jupp. thats blackjack which isn't rally a poker game. The bank always win in blackjack (unless you count cards) since they have a % advantage. How large depends on how many decks are used and how draws are handled.

[DemonShark]

o alright you got me movies and reading about advetour stuff does get to my mind......

[William]

So it should. The world is much more fun with a little imagination.

[DemonShark]

yes it is

[NorthernBoy]

I never play blackjack to win money! It is a negetive expectation game. The house a better chance of winning than you. Where as almost all forms of poker if you are knowlegable and skilled you will have a positive expectation of winning because most of the field(other players) have less skill or experience. Especially right now with the Texas Hold'em boom. Lots of bad players out there. Good Luck to you William and anyone else playing. Maybe we can meet for a little heads up sometime. With friend's I like to keep it low limit and carefree. William you should come up north for the Heartland Tour. Buy-in is not that high...I think like 200+20 and 500+50. Lotsa loose hicks up here.

[William]

NAh. You should come down for the winter turrneys in Aruba instead. Same kind of buyins but free hotell is included if you play ;-)
That would give me a reason to finally go there.

[NorthernBoy]

If you come here we can dive Lake Minnetonka=Big Muskies...Mississippi River=GIANT and I mean GIANT shovelnose and channel cats

[William]

Sounds nice!

We'll have to se. But I'll be sure to let you know if I am coming up that way.
