That was so bad.
Thanks.
He’s talking about a gamer. Soap would be a more effective deterrent.
I thought this was a thread about Jon Gruden’s decision to bury Chris Simms at the bottom of the depth chart.
And that’s fine. And guess what? I don’t give a shit about your comments here, which are both ignorant and useless.
So says a supposedly grown man throwing hissy-fits about video games on the internet. And scared of the other nerd to boot.
Pathetic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Grow-up and grow a pair. Seems too late for either though.
[Steve Irwin on South Park may he rest in peace™]oh by cricky we got ourselves a fiesty nerd today so lets stick our thumb right up his bum and get em good an angry![/stospmhrip™]
roll to block!
As for the thread:

Now as for the op. I think some people are being a little hard on him.
Dude make your plan and kick some ass! I mean suppose the worst happens. He kicks your ass. So? That’s part of life. Just be sure to do enough damage back that it worth it for him to try again.
*that it won’t be worth for him to try again.
BUT NERDS CAN MURDER!! COLUMBINE!!
And am I missing something? smiling bandit, you and your friends are over 18, right? So if he beats you up for not being a total dishrag, he’d be arrested for assault, right? It’s not like he’ll demand, and you’ll be school ground honour bound to accept, meeting him at recess behind the gym, right?
Seriously, the next time he acts like a dick just pipe the fuck up and say “I think we’ve all about had enough of the idiocy”. Check out your equally wimpy friends at this point. If they are nodding solemnly, let him have a little lecture on how to play the game. If they are all looking at their shoes then say “and if I’m alone I’m certainly sick of everyone’s confrontation-phobic attitudes.*” and walk the fuck out. I’m not saying quit forever but at least demonstrate that you do have a limit. They (and you) must see that Geek social fallacy #1 has costs.
*that’s just an outline. Feel free to make it snappier and relevant to your group.
This guy is a not a nerd. He’s a geek. He’s also a former tank gun loader, stands about 8 inches taller than me, and I’m rpobably spotting him 40 pounds. Yes, I have martial arts training, but he’ll toss me around like a ragdoll unless I can knee him in the groin. And if he grabs something heavy enough, I may not make it to the emergency room. Yes, he’d arrested for assault. I’m not sure that’s worth it.
Did I mention he’s prone to vivid displays of irrational anger? I honestly don’t know why everyone’s tolerating his shit.
Here is a brief list of everything we’ve gone over with him:
Act Like a Sane Person
Don’t Yell in the Library
Don’t Kill Party Members Because They Stop You From Mass Slaughter
Don’t Kill Part Members Because They Tease You
Don’t Repeat The Same Stupid Plan That Just Got You Killed
Don’t Use Weaponry That Backfires Damage Onto The Party
When You Ask For A Weapon, And They Give It To You, Yes, They Gave You What You Asked For, Not What You Wanted
Don’t Get Pissed Because You Killed Yourself
If You Can’t Actually Tell Us What You Want, Go Find Out
It’s a Game With Magic. You Saw That In The Description. Don’t Complain ABout It Now.
Yes, Other People Get To Play As Well
Why Did You Run Off By Yourself To the Other Side Of The Planet?
You See Those Numbers? Please Add Them And Stop Bitching
Learn The Goddam Rules
So he’s bigger than you. He’s one person. How many other people do you play with?
Are you telling me that a group of scrawny nerds can’t tackle one massive geek?
Grow a pair and stop making excuses on why you are such a pussy.
So you’ve got an honest to god, ex-military, prone-to-anger lunatic showing up to play D&D with you every week? Everyone is just going along and still showing up?
You are all seriously fucked up.
[Nerd]Well, he’s a medium creature, so 1d2+Str. Or (Str)S. Or (Str) # of boxes.[/Nerd]
You need to work on that reading comprehension before you toss out advice, Red.
Seriously. He’s a table top RPGer. That’s worse than a video game nerd.
Someday I’d love to come to your game session and show you how it’s done. Maybe when I win the lottery and have time and money on my hands…
Being a stranger and not expecting to return, I assure you that I can make it quite entertaining. I’d have Chuckie pissing himself in rage, fear and humiliation, all at the same time.
Who wants to take bets that Chucky is on some other message board absolutely fuming with rage that this guy at his game night keeps getting mad at the way he roleplays?
He’ll probably also say something like “None of the other guys have said anything and the GM is my good friend.”
And if he’s flying off the handle about it (and posting in such detailed, painful minutae as smiling_bandit), I’ll bet they’re giving him shit too.
CarnalK has it right. Tabletop RPGers make us run-of-the-mill video game nerds look almost cool.
Seriously. So you’re not only not having fun, but you’re physically intimidated by this loser? Leave. Let your GM and other non-insane players know why, and that you’ll play in a game without him.
If that doesn’t pan out, well, at least you aren’t as annoyed and afraid. Go play World or Warcraft or something until you can find a better a group.
No gaming is better than bad gaming.
I realize you just want this off your chest, but as this is not a journal, the entire rest of the message board is always invited to come and comment.
So I say, sack the fuck up, dude. You’re obviously very angry. You say you’re getting angrier and angrier. Do you see this ever changing if you sit back and take it and then complain later where nobody else in your group can hear? Do you think Sociopath Who Scares You will wake up one morning, realize what a tool he’s been, and come to the next session with a carefully crafted character that he’ll play to a T while being polite to the other players?
He will not change. It seems the GM is unlikely to change. All that’s changing is you, getting more and more pissed off. That’s not a game, it’s a goddamn frycook job with a regular customer who’s an asshole and a manager who lets him be an asshole.
If nobody in the group will back your ass up against this guy, then leave it. The situation will not improve if you just sit there like a dead gelatinous cube. Plus, if you leave, you don’t have to worry about him kicking your ass.
Naw, what I ‘need’ to be is at least thirty years younger and into gaming. Else how the hell am I going to “comprehend” this claptrap?
:rolleyes:
I mean, for craps sake, alls I know about video games (not a clue what a ‘table rpg’ is) is that they put a hole in my wallet as I think my son’s had just about every console ever made since he was born 17 years ago. Oh! And we beat or finished (forget which) Zelda on one of the first Nintendos made! Yeah. Only game I ever played, thus I’m freaking undefeated
But I also know my son’s always had a limited amount of playing time on those things, plays all sorts of sports, is a disc-jock for some bucks during the school year for both for the dough and babes (too many already) and wouldn’t mind giving or getting a black eye to/from a geek/nerd/jock or any other a-hole that came barging-in his way. As opposed to whining on a BB that is.
So methinks I capice quite well – if not the nerd/geek lingo.
Besides, alls I’m saying is what CarnalK said without his hiptude.
