SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;500190He's probably over 20.

Typically when people put a number in their name like that, it's the year of birth.

I just assumed that he was engaging in the ancient Chinese art of Ly-Ying.

QuoteBorn in 1970. Earliest he could join the Marines, 1988. 23 years of scrambling eggs or driving generals around takes us to 2011. Recently retired, then. Perhaps with multiple instances of concussion from that odd pugil-stick thing Marines like to play around with, slight brain damage would explain the odd personality quirks ("It's raining, you say? Citation needed!"), lack of inquisitive intelligence ("what is google?") and poor reading comprehension.

As would, I suppose, a Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

QuoteGamers under 20 will talk about other gamers wearing black t-shirts and jeans and trenchcoats.

Ah yes, the 90s. Everybody wanted to be The Highlander.


 
QuoteWhereas if he were around 41 he'd encounter different types of gamers, it would explain his odd obsession with blokes turning fat and going bald, tends to happen to us around then. Projection is a powerful thing.

True that. As my grandfather used to say, it's those with the worst problems that spend the most time focusing on other people's problems.

Quote from: Benoist;500292unless he can smell through the internet, which is kind of an interesting super power to have

That's exactly the sort of super-power that could ruin free porn.  I'll pass.

You're not Hannibal Lecter.
Quote from: Black Vulmea;530561Y\'know, I\'ve learned something from this thread. Both B.T. and Koltar are idiots, but whereas B.T. possesses a malign intelligence, Koltar is just a drooling fuckwit.

So, that\'s something, I guess.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;499859Did they have any friends?
Of the three individuals in question, two of them were actually friends.  Though these two didn't appear to have many other friends, besides themselves and their other hardcore skeptic friends.

The third individual had a wife.  I don't know much about this person, beyond that.

I just ran into one of these individuals earlier today, by chance at a nearby grocery store.

This one particular individual was complaining about how he doesn't get invited anymore to social gatherings, and other people don't return his phone calls and emails anymore.  He was completely clueless as to why hardly anybody wants to be around him.

I didn't bother stating the obvious to him.

Just on "proof" and "evidence", one of my acquaintances is a kind of entrepreneur who flies around the world making business deals. Yes he does collect hard data to make decisions, but he also talks to taxi drivers, eavesdrops on conversations in cafes and generally talks to everyone and anyone to get a feel for the zeitgeist when considering, for example, a venture in a new country. And he often flies by the seat of his pants. If he had waited for peer-reviewed evidence that his efforts would make him rich, he'd still be waiting instead of smoking expensive cigars.
You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. But none of them move the clouds.
