In that other thread, someone compared me to Doiminus Nox and that new guy Jackalope.
Thing is, when I post on here some parts of personality might get exaggerated - but most times I've also had a long day at work and I'm venting or relaxing a little while I web-surf.
Nox is/was(?) the type of guy that annoys other gamers in real life if he talks about anything other than gaming.
He is the type of guy that regulars at the store tend to whisper :
"Oh gawd , not him again."
Jackalope - based on the text record of his threats and a friendly meetup being cancelled is the kind of person that gets banned from a mall like the one I work at. If we saw him walking in the mall's corridor - one of my regular browsers/customers would have to say : "Ed, better call Mall Security . I just saw ______(Jackalope) walking near here in the hall."
Me?
I could probably get along with most of you guys at a game table just fine.
Yesterday was a fucked up day at work - we had computer problem with our tech at work. Good side is that my coworker that sometimes has tewnsion with me ? - She and I got along just fine and worked together just great.
If you're wondering the tensions between her and I have nothing to do with gender - its because our personalities are too similar. We're both used to and prefer to be the ham actor or GM-type in a lot situations. However, she's a good person with the same dometimes lack of sleep and frustrations as the rest of us.
Thing is...she and I are both fairly stable and can hold down a job. (Two in her case)
I'm not so sure the Jackalope person can hold down a regular job.

(For the record - My hate of the store's computer has now subsided. I was still tempted to throw it across the room. There was enough discipline and self control in me NOT to.)
I don't think anyone here thinks you're Nox creepy....but it's all the talk about women, Ed. It's kind of .....

And the hugs...
I always got the sense you (Ed) have pictures of unicorns in your bedrooom...velvet ones...with pixies...nude pixies...
Which is all well and good if you're into that kind of thing. :D
Quote from: David RI don't think anyone here thinks you're Nox creepy....but it's all the talk about women, Ed. It's kind of .....
Yeah. I don't know about the sex lives, relationships, etc. of my best guy friends. I'm okay not hearing about it the intimate details of the lives of folks on the Internet.
Outside that, you're an okay dude.
Seanchai
In the main you seem like an honest and decent bloke with great enthusiasm for the hobby.
However, like others have said, it's the inescapable gravitational pull that women exert on your thinking that makes people wary. I don't for one minute think it's a full-blown obsession, but sometimes it definitely reads like that.
You know its funny how people always point to "job" as being a factor of being stable. As if that's the only deciding factor.
I held down jobs for many years (leaving of my own accord for better wages though in a few cases.)
My inability to currently work is do to illness--factors partially beyond my control. No, I'm probably not stable enough to hold a job--yet. That doesn't mean I'm likely to freak out and behave like a complete idiot over a web forum.
Might be something to examine when you start pointing out the limitations of others is realizing that there are more factors in play than employment, as a measure of some persons ill considered, and inappropriate behavior.
There are others: general emotional (and physical) maturity, socialization, possible mental or cognition issues, and others factors.
One of the most unstable people I ever knew was a doctor--who'd worked for years, because of his previous track record few challenged his current state, until he nearly killed someone by prescribing contra-beneficial medications.
Ed's okay in my book.
Quote from: KoltarIn that other thread, someone compared me to Doiminus Nox and that new guy Jackalope.
They were unfair. I wouldn't put you into the creepy or obnoxious categories. I too struggle slightly with all the posts about backrubs and girls and stuff, but generally you're a good poster IMO.
That said, this isn't Tangency, I do think we should all try to avoid self-affirmation threads. This is not an emotionally safe environment. Keep your upper lip stiff and grow a pair is my general advice to anyone who posts here, if some guy compares you to Dominus, ask yourself, what would Jim-Bob do? Then call the guy a cocksmock.
Quote from: BalbinusKeep your upper lip stiff and grow a pair is my general advice to anyone who posts here...
A pair of lips?

You're not the same as Nox, but the female fixation does have a creepy vibe to it.
Quote from: Drewthe inescapable gravitational pull that women exert on your thinking
I suffer from this. Don't most men?
But it's like breathing. There's not a whole lot of reason to talk about it most of the time.
Quote from: walkerpI suffer from this. Don't most men?
In this case it's the difference between the pull of the earth and a supermassive black hole. Which is ok in and of itself. Some people are very highly sexed, others are enormously frustrated by the sheer lack of it in their lives. No problem there.
QuoteBut it's like breathing. There's not a whole lot of reason to talk about it most of the time.
Exactly. This is where Koltar's creepy reputation originates. It's a shame really, because I think he's one of the more decent and honourable people who hang around here. I suppose we all have our quirks.
I don't come around often, but Koltar seems to be a FAR pace off from Nox (who I remember) and Jackalope (who I wish I could forget).
Just got home from work.
(Long frakking day)
Wasn't meant as an affirmation thread...but hey, whatever works.
Just felt that I was much, much more closer to normal guy than the other two individuals that were mentioned.
For that matter , I may have accidentally exaggerated a facet of my personality over the past 8 months or so.
But thats cool.

I say you're a decent sort; always thought so. The Condoleeza Rice fixation is a bit... well, whatever floats your boat.
Besides, we know your name, where you work, what you look like, and the Convention types you hang out with - if you got too out of hand, we could send JimBob after you. :D
Quote from: WerekoalaBesides, we know your name, where you work, what you look like, and the Convention types you hang out with - if you got too out of hand, we could send JimBob after you. :D
Yeah , about that . I decided a couple of years ago in another gamer forum that I might as well show my face and not hide behind a symbolic or borrowed pic avatar . To me, thats just being honest. Besides I've been a pretty public "Face" for over 10 years at various conventions. Someonme with more than half a brain would figure out who I was anyway - so I might as well be honest and up front and show ny face. (
Even when the pic is me in my Klingon gear - its still two-thirds my face)As for the rest ?
I love you tooo - and I'd just tell JimBob : "Aw, Shut up, sit down at the table, roll some dice and try to have fun." But I'd say that with a smile on my face.
- Ed C.
I've never found ya creepy Ed.
Jackalope is the kind to make me glad I own a handgun (even if it's not in my house... and lacks ammo... but still!) and I missed the Nox bit.
Totally off topic - Ad on the radio telling people to watch out for pedestrians. Kid voice saying that her mom got naied by an impatient driver. Tag line - think of the impact you'll make. Now that's messed up.

All we have to go on is how you have presented yourself thus far on the internet.
And you have made NUMEROUS threats against people who have crossed you, and in the last thread shown an ability to fly off the handle and beat the shit out of people for no good reason.
I'm not scared of you, cause I know its all a big blustering show, and you wouldn't have the balls to spit at a mouse in real life, so you get your jollies by acting tough and macho on the intarwebz. But, again, all we have to go on...
I can't blame her. She does have a big macho hubby though, so that helps for something, right shewolf?
Though I imagine you could take this pipsqueak down with no muss yourself - you being a tough country girl...

Holy Crap.
Given those two choices - think I prefer the cooked meal for a group of gamers (INcluding Kyle Aaron - why not? He knows his way around a game table)
If you're going to punch me in the face - at least either let me take off my glasses first or pay for a new pair.
Oh and Kyle/JimBob is one of the many on here I'm pretty sure I could game with. Arguments and political debates away from the game are just that - stuff/shit away from the game that ain't that important at times.

But people like Jackie here are bad for getting dri\unk and doing stupid shit. And you can't reason with a drunk. Fastest to shoot 'em and cry when the cops come. I got kids to worry about, after all. And Mother Warner passed on her acting skills to me. :hehe:

Actually, most Canadians I know of recognize Newfoundland as having the most beautiful women in Canada. Some guys I went to school with who were CFAs (Come From Aways) always goggled downtown at how gorgeous the girls were, and they had lived all over Canada.
I find Atlantic Canadian girls are, per capita, more pretty than most of the rest of Canada. We breeds em right some good down 'ere.

I've been at the same place 18 years and it might as well be a burger joint for the amount of skill actually involved or the amount of control I have over my work day. And I'm bug fuck nuts and socially irredeemable and you all know it.

Well, now, see that seems much more a sign of instability than anything I've ever done. Of course, I've only been attacked by one player in my life, and he was later hospitalized as a schizophrenic.
And I've never taken a swing at someone over a
game.
I'm pretty sure I'd arrest each and every single one of you, if you showed up on my door step. Of course Michigan is changing it's CCW laws, and I no longer have to retreat....considers long and hard...fuck the paper work!:D
On a serious note I have yet to see anyone post anything online that's even made me flinch. Some of you may be almost as goofy as I am, but I don't see any of you as being much more than a bit eccentric by societies standards.
I live for the day when I as a GM can say I've been punched for something I did to a PC in a game.
Wouldn't that depend on who's doing the punching? I mean getting clocked by Vin Diesel or Mike Tyson is a lot worse than say the Pundit or Jong. (Not that I am singling anyone out.)
Quote from: David JohansenI live for the day when I as a GM can say I've been punched for something I did to a PC in a game.
Closest I came was having a player hurl a unopened can of coke at my head from only a few feet away. It missed me by about a quarter of an inch, and slammed into a china cabinet behind me. Would have hurt like hell if it had connected.
The reason? We were playing
Werewolf: The Apocalypse, and his character got thrown off a roof while in wolf form, and I ruled that he could not grab the edge of the building as he sailed past it (no fingers!), and automatically fell. Because this was W:TA and he was only four stories up, the damage was negligible and nothing he couldn't easily soak. Everyone else at the table agreed with my reasoning. He would not let it go, would not drop it. It started becoming really disruptive, and another player suggested that I use my GM authority to assert that a rare Silver Ghost (with it's solid silver grille) was driving down the street. I told the player to drop it or I would invoke the Silver Ghost and he'd take some real damage he couldn't soak, and he flung the pop can at me then stormed out of the house, never to return.

No need to - those 3 or 4 new posters (plus Hackmastergnrl) are making themselves look pretty ridiculous on their own.
Also in polls in the past 10 to 15 years - more than 50% of America's population say they are fans of STAR TREK. So, basically what was at one time a cliche "geek/nerd" thing now isn't as much so anymore.
These TREK fans and folks are getting married, having kids and pretty normal lives for the past 20 to 30 years.

Ok, Chi? You haven't said a single relevant fucking thing since you joined, and you've descended now into open disruption of this forum.
Consider this a warning. Stop the nonsense idiotic posts that just take up bandwith, stop with the threadcrapping, and start posting something useful (or go the fuck away). If you continue to be disruptive to this forum, measures will be taken.

Trekkies never get laid?
Heh heh. When I was 14-16 I was a member of Imperial Starbase Seattle, a Star Trek LARP group based on the "Mirror Mirror" episode. The women in that group, and there were plenty of women, were of...um..."easy virtue." I was a little too young to take advantage of it (the average age of the group was about 23), but I know that there was a hell of a lot of hooking up going on.
And the cons. Dear god, Trekkies put Romans to shame. Orgies, drunken debauchery, polyamory, everything goes on at those things.

My thoughts as well. Some of the new people, all new members within less than 24 hours of one another, were almost diametrically
too sensible and polite, in a couple of cases dedicating their first few posts to engaging Jackalope reasonably.
My other theory is that many/most of the newbies are all pals, all logging on to play along with one another.

Personally, I think Chango Chi is still with us. I think he created a whole bunch o' sockpuppets, then used one as a draw, creating a diversion to draw suspicion away from the other new accounts. "Oh, no, I'm not a Jackalope sockpuppet - I'm a real person who just got mixed up in the Chango Chi fiasco."
Personally, I'll be suspicious of the March 2008 folks for some time to come...

I am not a sockpuppet! I am a free man!

Quote from: SeanchaiI can't speak for Cessna, but we'd invited him to join our group a number of times. If he wasn't a complete tease in that regard, he'd still be welcome to apply.
Now, in Cessna's defense, he did try to tough it out for a few days. He took a pretty solid -- if not unexpected -- beat-down at the hands of more than a few people here who'd been waiting for an unmoderated chance to give him a piece of thier minds. I think it's understandable that he decided to bail against the prevailing tide.
!i!
In a bizzare fucked up way, I should thank Chango Chi for continuing to porn spam RPGnet with badly photoshopped pics of a gay Pundit fucking another guy, because now I have a link to the RPGsite that bypasses the content filters at work and can post here at night again.

WTF!!!!! I get wrapped up in work for a little while and when I check back here all of a sudden people are comparing Koltar to Nox, gay jokes are flying, and Pundit is nuking trolls from orbit!!!!
I've really got to spend less time working or I'll never get caught up.

You gotta keep an eye on work. It'll sneak up on you like that. Don't forget the internet is flying by at 200 miles per hours and you sure don't want to miss a second of the awesomeness!
