    Slick paint with good lunar balance because you can seriously hone in your lunars and it'll feel more rewarding in the end!

    WYR Go to every event/jam except for MKO or Only go to MKO and miss all the other events?

    Everything besides MKO, because there is a LOT of other comps!!!

    WYR Be sponsored, but the only reason you play is because the company wants you too,
    OR
    Never become sponsored, but have a lot of fun playing dama.

    Damn...I would say have a lot of fun playing dama unsponsored because it really doesn't matter if you're sponsored or not as long as you enjoy playing the game!

    WYR Sesh ONE birch TK-16 of your choice for a year or Sesh ONE Ozora of your choice for a year?

    Ozora of my choice! I would choose to sesh that fresh Enjyu!

    Would you rather:
    -be able to yank on command, or
    -be able to juggle consistently?

    I would rather be able to juggle consistently. That is my overall weakness.

    Would you rather have only lunar kens or only sling kens?

    Lunars. I love to do a lot of combos that involve lunars, so I would want to have only lunar kens.

    WYR Play only Ken Co damas or Play only Tributes ?

    This is a hard one, but if ken co was still around, I would jam them. They were actually pretty good. The Zens were so nice

    Wyr.
    Become the most famous dama pro, and win kwc and mko, or be an Olympics Olympian.

    Dama pro that wins! If I was in the Olympics, the whole world would be looking at me, so that's way too much pressure for me!

    WYR: Be on time for all the GT drops and miss everything else or Be on time for all the REZ drops and miss everything else?

    Be on time for all the GT drops. I've wanted to cop a BH mod ever since the man himself (Ben Herald) let me try his mod at a KG Tuesdays jam. Also, don't have good tamas to match with a REZ.

    Would you rather:
    -Teach kendama to kids, or
    -Teach kendama to adults?

    Kids would be easier to work with because I feel like most adults would just walk away from me and call kendama dumb.

    WYR Have a ken that's heavier by 15g or Have a tama that's heavier by 15g? BTW, you can't change out either of the parts.

    Tama heavy. After checking a couple of my setups at the scale that KUSA had at their booth during the first day of MKO, seems like that's how a couple of my setups are weighted. IIRC some companies only guarantee them being within 10 grams of each other.
    WYR
    - Only play kendama, including dama-esque and dama related skill toys (pill, bilboquet, pendama, etc) just once a year (same day every year)
    - Play kendama but ONLY the Sweets Micro (or Mini, whichever one is the smallest) and the Ozora Taiyo Emperor

    That's dirty! I'll take the micro/emperor. I'd probably only jam the micro though because the emperor would destroy me.

    WYR live in the center of a kendama hotspot with lots of players, clubs, and events, but have no stores that sell ANY kendamas for MILES,
    OR
    Live in the center of a kendama store hotspot with tons of dama stores where you have just about every brand at your fingertips, but no players at all for MILES?

    Rather live where there's a lot of slayers. I order my Kens online anyway and players aren't around that much so I'd rather have a squad which always meets up to sesh than some shops

    Live in a kendama store hotspot. Buying kendamas from abroad is hard, and I have made long trips to kendama jams before so no biggie.

    Would you rather:
    -Sell a dama, or
    -Give a dama?

    Tough one for me, but I would go give a dama if I don't really need it but it's super honed! I want to spread the kendama love just one step at a time with no expense!

    WYR Listen to classical music while you sesh or Listen to OSTs from games while you sesh?

    Whats an OST?
    But, either way, classical music isn't that bad!

    WYR
    Never have any personal friends, only friends met through kendama
    or
    never have any friends met through kendama, only personal friends?
    (assuming that the personal friends never will play kendama, and the kendama friends you only see at kendama events, but no where else)

    Official/Original Sound Track. I would rather have only friends that are into kendama because that's really the only thing I do at school, so a few dama friends I can sesh with would be nice.

    WYR Turn your own kens for tamas from other companies or Turn your own tamas and custom-paint them for kens from other companies?

    I would definitely turn my own kens, and get them painted by masters liks sweets and sourmash. I feel liks I coukd be more creative with ken shapes than with tama designs. Next wyr is up for grabs cuz I dont have one on mind!

    WYR Be forced to give your dama away after playing it for only two months or Be forced to shred it to bits without regluing the base cup chips until the spike snaps off?
