I not only played locally in a DC suburb in Virginia, but I went to a couple of gaming conventions as well.
GEEKS!
Not that I am above geekiness. Hell, I’m definitely still a geek! But every involvement I had with role playing games, the demographic was 92% male and 100% geek.
what an interesting concept…geeks and role play!
and somehow you all also spell out the wrong words for what role play is. for the ones who have played the game, they know what it is, but do not nessicerally know how to explain it. tell me one thing, are actors considered geeks? no? why? are sport joks (however its spelled ;)) considered stupid?
yes? why? the same goes for blondes, jewes, americans, and bloody well the moon too! in this world we have alot of things considered common amongst all people who have that thing in common…
now may i enlighten you a bit about “role playing”, its true that some people call it “roll playing”, but that is when all the players do is throw dices…its not the art of the role. what it really is is acting, its a stage set in your mind where you have to exercise your imagination in the same way as writers and actors do every day. some are better at it than others…of course, who ever said all men were equal?? i just say that person was dead wrong…(dont misunderstand what im saying here).
now the geek question…what do you consider a geek??..ah…the hell with it, im going to make a thread about it…see you there
English to German to English to Italian to English:
No, seriously, what the hell did you just say??
“somehow you all also spell out the wrong words for what role play is.”?? You should talk.
Next time, try using correct (1) spelling (2) grammar (3) punctuation and (4) capitalization and perhaps you will create a post that has actual meaning, instead of a bunch of gobbeldygook.
Oh, be nice to him, Kat. He’s FOREIGN. As he insists on reminding us.

That doesn’t keep your posts from SUCKING ROOT, BjOrnie.
And BTW, why oh why do we keep bringing this fucking post back to the top? Brithael lives!!

ohh…capitalization there…just because you have a malfunctioned brain ill explain it to you in a simple language:
einfaldlega sagt, þú ert þokkalegur fáviti ef þú ert að halda því fram að allir eigi að tala fullkomna ensku bara svo að þú getir skilið hvað allir aðrir eru að segja. það er alger óþarfi að heimta það að heimska gangi fyrir því ef svo væri hefði heimurinn aldrei fundið ameríku.
þetta er í mínum huga einfalt tungumál…þó að það sé í raun flóknara en enska, málfræðilega séð það er…þá skil ég nú af hverju enska hefur verið einfölduð.
if you dont understand this, then its because you have a different simple language!
well now…doing my best or not has got nothing to do with your intelligence…you can do that all by yourself…im proud of you being so independent and fluent in more forms of expression than empathy. dont tell me you still dont get it?
BFD. I know plenty of people on the Internet for whom English is a second language who don’t come off as blithering idiots. If they wish to participate in a forum that is conducted in English, they need to make the effort to post in comprehensible English, just as if I chose to participate in a forum conducted in French, Spanish, Russian, German, etc., etc., I would have to make an effort to make comprehensible posts in that language.
first of all, you are wrong about one thing…im not foreign…you are!
if you cant understand what im saying, even if it is written in a language somewhat similar to english, it isnt my problem, and it certainly shouldnt be your problem either…if you cant bloody well understand what im saying anyway…so why dont you bugger off and conduct your doofusing activities where people care!
Can someone please translate this for me? I think there might be a flame in it somewhere. But I can’t parse it well enough to be sure.
BjOrnie, keep 'em coming. I need comic relief like your posts. My co-workers make far too much sense; I really appreciate your incomprehensible blather.
And, while we’re still in the Pit, FOAD.
xxoo,

Well, similar to English in that you use English words. However, English tends to use those words to create sentences and paragraphs with some sort of meaning, rather than just sticking a bunch of random words together, with occasional ellipses, to create something that looks like a three-year-old might end up with after playing with a magnetic poetry set.
Yes, it is your problem, because you are wasting your time posting messages that are totally incomprehensible, so what is the point of even posting them? Why are you even here if you have no interest in contributing?
And you are absolutely right that it is not my problem, which is why I don’t choose to waste my time trying to make sense out of your gibberish. I do, however, reserve the right to mock your incomprehensible posts as I see fit. You don’t like it? Stop posting the gibberish.
Let’s cut through all this crap and get back to the subject at hand-Dungeons and Dragons.
This is how we play here-AD&D Players Handbook, 2nd Edition(NO PSIONICS!), AD&D Dungeon Keepers Guide, The Original Monster Manual. No Monty Hauls. No player-as-gods. No arguing with the Dungeon Master. Absolutely NO bringing in outside books, charts, manuals, or other distracting crap. The game is gonna last until that scenario is done, so bring lots of high-fat munchies and plenty of caffiene. Anybody here up for a game? :-).
