Hai gaiz, can I join too? trips over my own feet
Yes, you can join the “posters whose names start with V” clique.
Dangerosa, you are one of the people I “recognize” here. FWIW.
susan, I also suspected that I could disappear for months and no one would notice. Then I did, and I was right. So, I will keep an eye out for you if you do the same for me 
I forgot to mention that I might be part of a clique that I didn’t realize… the cRaZIeS!!1@! Of course, even though I know there are other members, it sometimes feels like I’m the only one who attends meetings.
Hello?
I keep meaning to contact the procrastinators clique but I always seem to put it off…
I’m going to from the dyslexic group.
I’ve been a bit surprised that many of my posts haven’t drawn any comments. There have been good responses to the few threads I’ve initiated, but I think many folks don’t read the whole thread, but rather just jump on. I haven’t been provacative, but I figured some of my comments would get a response or two. I guess this takes time.
I think it has more to do with what you first described. People often respond to a post without reading the rest of the thread. It happens often. I think it happened in this thread.
I have a question for you. Can you tell us about your User name?
I am a Tolkien fan and every time I see you post, I think of a certain Brown Wizard first.
Fix that dammit.
Also, don’t listen to my advice, it leads to suspensions.
Just link your threads. I’ll post to them, and even go to your cousins birthday party. I’m a clown!
Deal.
Um. I don’t know how else to say this, so I’ll just say it. The MMPers don’t know the backstory on everyone or even the identities of all those who post there!
I guess we fake really well. It doesn’t matter if you know the backstory. We talk about minutae–a LOT. We also talk about hugely distressing or joyful news, but really all we do is talk. Think of it as the buzz that goes around before the English teacher starts class–that’s all it is. Really.
Anyone is welcome. (and yes, we WILL talk about you if you leave. Just kidding!)
I think of the MMP as the hospitality suite of the convention - the place everyone hangs out in between lectures and workshops, where food and drink are available to them that wants
Yeah, an assclown! Oh snap! runs away giggling
Haven’t been in any games recently, though. I’m more an exiled King.
Except the English teacher joins in. 
Stupid 99ers. I didn’t want to join your crappy club for jerks, anyway.
Guess who’s sore, 'cause they ain’t allowed in the treehouse?
Although I have no concrete evidence of this, there have been a couple of pile-ons in the Pit that I felt seemed to have been coordinated (at least loosely) beforehand. Other than that, I’m not aware of any clique. If they exist and I knew what it took to be accepted other than my own customary behavior and interests, I probably wouldn’t want to bother.
I see our previous “correction” failed to eliminate your “loose lips” behavior. The next “correction” will have to be somewhat more effective.
Sure you wouldn’t settle for 1 out of 2?
Heck, I’ve been posting in the MMP for at least three years and I still get lost with LiLi’s husbands… And in case anybody hadn’t noticed, the running joke about “mumpers” being “The Cool Kids” is totally tongue-in-cheek. If “cool” means “exclusive”, we’re hotter’n the insides of a steamboat at full throttle.
I’ll sit with anyone who practices good personal hygiene and doesn’t want to get in my pants. If they want to get in my pants and are nice about it, I won’t be sitting!
I don’t care anyway; we’re going to build our own treehouse, and it will be even nicer than yours. 
<sarcastic snide tone> Wellllll… I wouldn’t KNOW about the HOSPITALITY SUITE because I don’t get to go to WORKSHOPS AND MINGLE WITH THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE. <sarcastic snide tone>
Rigs–watching the coats in the bar in perpetuity.
