This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

 ;D

For someone with no sense of humor, I think it's funny how you try to blame me for being insensitive about things I had absolutely no knowledge of. Your overreaction was amusingly absurd.

I guess cosplayers have no sense of humor.  Learn something new every day

But I DO have a sense of humor - it just doesn't match yours. I love the comedy of Monty Python and Eddie Izzard, and also Tig Notaro.

Also, its Captain Khar'Ton of the House Koltar - last rank I was promoted to when I was active in that Klingon group years ago.

Nah, I know a few cosplayers who are a riot to be around. Is Koltar even a cosplayer, or is the profile pic just some rando of the internet? I dunno!

The thing is, all of this could have been avoided if he just answered the fukken question instead of virtue signalling about how seriously he takes his gaming.

Except the Biggus Dickus skit apparently.  ::)

He is dressed like a klingon so, I would say he is.

That's "Cosplay" by definition.

No, it isn't we never called it 'cosplay' - it was the early 1990s and no one was using that obnoxious term.

 By-the-way your post has nothing to do with the opening question of this thread - names for an NPC scientist. A Human NPC (Not a Klingon)

Mocking my name or picture is not the question or conversation.

What name did you use for the NPC, Captain Koltar? Just tell us the name and all this can be over. You can go back home to your family. Watch the sunset on Qo'noS. You want to do that, right? C'mon... just tell us the name of the NPC?

Oxford Dictionary:

cos·play
noun
the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game.

Unless  you know more than the oxford dictionary people,

By-the-way your post has nothing to do with the opening question of this thread - names for an NPC scientist. A Human NPC (Not a Klingon)

Well, my initial post did but its true, it derailed a bit after that.

You are cosplaying. Your profile picture is you in a cosplay. There is no shame in that. I don't have any stake in this weird argument but I find your pedantry to be a bit strange.

It is, but you have to pronounce it in the blended language of the 22nd-century Castilian-Oaxacan colony from which it came, i.e. "dee-doh-YEESH".
