That's as far back as I've been told. But yes, I am a mutt.
But my grandpa calls me a Heinz 57.

[Note: This is actually a reply to the original post, which has *mysteriously* vanished. Tycho's not just being a freak.] I have no ethnicity because I'm an Archon. |

Hmm, there is probably more, but so far what my Grandpa has told me: English Dutch Hungarian Swedish (not 100% sure on this) German So, that's all I can remember, and that's all I've been told so far I think. If you find the American Revolution a bit interesting, my ancestors helped out in the Revolution. |

@Tycho: Dude, there's a wiki for Nethack? Ye gods, now I wanna go re-download it... @Topic: 100% Vietnamese (at least, as far back as my grandparents; I dunno about any of my family's older generations). -- Griffinhart |

"Mutt" is also appropriate. My friend (well, friends; they're twins) describes himself as a "Euro-mutt".-- Griffinhart |

I just discovered it, yes. It's fantastic. I've been playing in wizard mode, just to enjoy the various effects of my actions. I'll play a serious game through, later, after I get used to the various physics and rules.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to play the game without having to hit "Help" and finding out what it is I'm looking at. I'm sorry my mind isn't capable of memorizing all the ASCII symbols for everything! D': -- Griffinhart |

Well, it's not too hard. Capital 'D' is a dragon, lowercase 'd' is a form of dog, lowercase 'f' is a feline of some sort, etc.

I prefer Angband to NetHack myself. Probably just because I started off on it. Though I don't really play either any more. Ah well. On topic, on my dad's side I am almost completely Scottish (possibly Welsh as well since my last name is Welsh). On my mom's side, German and Cherokee are all we know about but there's probably some other stuff in there too. |

Getting back to the poll, I am 100% Indian (from India). My roots are deeply tied with India even though I'm a first generation American born in my family. (That means that that my whole family was born in India- and lived in India for some time- and then they immigrated to the USA, and I was born here in Michigan.) |
