I don't like mulled wine either- in fact, the other half was about to buy some today, I & said "bleurgh." It was palatable, once, after open air ice skating whilst mooching at the stalls & soaking up the atmosphere in a little alpine town after dark on xmas eve- but even then, it only scraped "palatable."

I would challenge ANYONE who makes fun of role-playing and talks about the players being sad, boring, friendless, geeks and such like.
My son is a regular role player (less so now as he and his mates are at different unis) and I would sit in the lounge while they got down to work in the dining room. Prior to the session one of them (the nominated story master) would write a scenario of where they were, when (many were historically based), who was involved, secondary characters, what had led up to the events being played, and prepared a swathe of events and threats that would face the charcters during the session.
On arrival the players had prepared their characters - creating not only strengths and weaknesses but developing a back-story that would influence the way the characters would respond to the (as yet) unknown events as they unfolded.
The event begins and the leader sets the characters off on their journey. He describes events in vivid detail, adding in enough atmosphere to make Tolkien jealous. He also describes what terrors and threats face the characters and, using rolls of variously numbered dice, the players describe in great detail how the characters experience these events. With dialogue, sound effects and such like.
There are cries of victory, shouts, laughter, groans of pain and frustration a fair bit of swearing. Pronouncements of doom by the DM, pronouncements like "You cannot cage Nature" (whereupon I called out "No, but you can mow it!"). And at the end they emerge exhausted, happy and excitedly discussing the next session. One scenario carried on for months in real time, with the characters learning any number of new skills, dealing with injuries and some were killed - to the sadness of the creator.
Now, compare that with the 'preffered' way of spending a wet afternoon - which for most people I hear from, is for teenagers to sit alone in their bedroom reading a book.
Role-playing is not a sad, pathetic way for social outcasts to create a false sense of community (ok it CAN be but so can being in ANY club or group). It is far more of an intellectual and social occasion than most people give it credit for. And it's HARD to do it well.

That's what scares me- the in-depthness of it. My other other half "overwinters" with the type of thing you've just described- one look at how indepth it is sends me reaching for the panic pills.
He's been a LARP'er for years, and my bessie mate dabbles too. I would love to give it a go, but fear my imagination/brain cell would desert me when I least expected it. Yeah, I can do the dressing up, and am pretty quick witted- but quick witted whilst remembering reams of rules? And reams of realms too? :scared:
Spending time with newly-arrived-home- child number 1...collecting child number 2 and boyfriend...waiting for the call from child number 3 which inevitably says that her lift has fallen through...oh, and taking child number 4 xmas shopping.
Then making decorations with the foliage I foraged yesterday, cooking dinner, delivering child number 1 to the pub...
and debating letting said "child"- with whom I had an amazingly frank discussion about Polyamory last night- in on our "little secret."

some people just don't have a life?
Namely? Those putting some effort into the thread? Or those who get together & play games with friends?
If that's directed at me in any way, you are a million miles wide of the mark Witchy and if it isn't then I apologise for reading into it what isn't there.

You're least that far off the mark Max
And I have no clue why you'd have thought so! Quote by foxylady2209
There is a socio-mathematical expression for this.
The liklihood of a thread ending in a dummy-spitting, teddy chucking episode is the percieved intelligence of the poster minus the actual intelligence of the poster multiplied by the distance from the political centre of the poster.
For the mathematical among us: DummySpit=(PI-AI)x|dPC|
The lines around the dPC expression (distance from Political Centre) indicate the direction is irrelevent (Lefties or Righties).
If more than one poster in a thread scores high in the DummySpit scale, the time to actual Dummy Spit is halved for each such poster.
Foxy, I don't doubt your maths, but you've failed to take into account the psychology. This is all from a very masculine, chest beating, alpha male perspective. You need to look into the Flounceological viewpoint (similar to phenomenological, but with a flick of the hair). Dummy spit to the power of Flounce- which is the more powerful to begin with?
It's all so confusing.
El Dorado,
I am afraid that your plan is flawed. As an experiment, I just attempted to comply with one of your demands. However, I can confirm that size 34 E breasts do not fit through the slot of "Steves" inbox.
Had you been supervising the site some time ago, you would have already met with my breasts in frequent forum posts, nipple flaunting avatars, and even the occasional cam appearance. If you were as omnipresent as the other guy, you'd have no need to kidnap & terrorise in order to slake your lust.
I have had word from on high, instructing me not to give in to your tactics.
The Gospel according to Adam Ant clearly states:
"The Devil took your forumites, and your picture collection"
"Prince Of Darkness, Prince of Darkness, Resonance is nothing to be scared of"
The sacrifice of a few forumites is nothing in the face of the greater good. Ravage them all you will. May your pubis crawl with the lice of a thousand camels.
I am unswerving. Bake them in a pie and call it Hector. Had you chosen to kidnap forumites who owed me a drink, it may have been a different matter. Do your worst, one day, you'll be joined by Anthea Turner...retribution enough.

Have you seen this man?
Description: (when extinguished)
Caucasian Male. Around 5'9"- unless being used as a serving tray.
Short brown hair. Piercing blue/grey eyes. Slim build.
Last seen wearing rubber chaps and cowboy boots lubricated with vaseline.
For those of you who are new to the forum, Random Orbit, AKA Random Firestarter, London Traything, Rolp, Rollmop, and twat, is looked after in here by the regulars. All the time he's posting, we know where he is and that his "ways" are under control. His odd ramblings have made him something of a forum mascot. Especially since MarkZ developed rabies.
However, there have been worrying signs over the last 24 hours. Signs that Rolp's account has been hacked by a sentient human being. Well written, sensible, thought provoking posts have been appearing, forum wide, from his keyboard.
I fear for his safety. He could be lying, as I type, wrapped in rubber, bound and gagged in a dark, dank cellar surviving only on rat blood drunk through a straw in his gimp mask. On the other hand, something bad may have happened to him.
Please, I implore you, help me find him. Examine your coffee table for any unusual features such as testicles. He is a master of disguise. If he remains at large for any length of time a new Great Fire of London is inevitable.
Whether he has strayed, or he has been kidnapped by the triple breasted hen of KFC, he needs to be found. If you see him, or indeed have any idea who has hacked his account- it is your civic duty to report your suspicions and sightings.
Yours, concerned of the planet Earth.

I used to have an OCD problem. The number four was my sticking point. It's enough to drive you even madder.
Johnny- you can beat it, I did. And four is far more important than five :giggle:
*will not edit post four times*
yeah, I used to be worse - hording stuff - but had a course of CBT.
Its more of a pain in the ass these days, things like checking stuff, or not being able to take the first item on a supermarket shelf (have to grab one from the back lol) and other crap like that LOL
I did CBT too- but all it taught me was the basics of riding a motorbike
I dealt with the OCD alone- whilst keeping it a secret. No one, not even hubby knew I had a problem. If you've got help- it should be even more do-able. Good luck to you. :thumbup:

Grammar Nazi!
Anyway, find him a new username so we all still know who he is and therefore make him wanting to change his username null and void, mostly. Apart from the not being Swedish thing.
I'm not quite understanding why and where the Swedish bit came from really. Love of Ikea? Meatballs? Vanilla Sauce? Ulkrika-kah-kah-kah ?! Oh.... has anyone had Swedish vanilla sauce? It's like home made custard (fresh not out of the powdery tub stuff) but it's thicker, creamier, buttery and packed full of vanillary goodness. :lickface: Nyom nyom nyom.
I am not your grammar!
And as for the custard...ewww
