The quotable LPTJ

[theartlessmonster]

looking-like-a-douche roll.

not any kind of roll to make a sandwich with by the way. eeww!

[Good Intentions]

Seriously, though, since when is it not OK to make fun of LARPers?  Did science find a LARPing gene that I didn't hear about?  Do they have no choice but to wear dyed-green sheets as capes and swing PVC pipes at eachother in state parks?

It's terribly petty to do this at the drop of a hat. Infantile clicques.

It's also funny how people on both sides of the geekness divide talk about the otherside in exactly the same self-glorifying way. Real hilarious.

[Good Intentions]

although being as that's wikipedia, they try to make it all neutral, but let me tell you: the folks who do this and little else with their lives are not people you would like to know.

This is being a douche.

[SPACERACE]

what the hell is in your vagina?

[silentsigh89]

the fact that I have read this exact discussion on this board more than once amuses me to no end. I remember Reese taking a firmly anti LARP position last time as well, but I'm not sure if GI took it upon himself to defend them last time or if it was someone else.

either way- I have my doubts about how much any of them would care about the opinions of LPTJers, just as LPTJers would probably not really give much weight to the insults of a LARPing community.

[Good Intentions]

what the hell is in your vagina?

I'm not impressed by your cuntery - I find it unacceptable. And retarded.

[SPACERACE]

i just don't see how i'm supposed to have a positive view of the people who do this religiously when i haven't met one that i'd want to meet again.

and if you're just doing this for the sake of it, i'll have you know i need to go to bed, like i did a half hour ago, just wink and nod. i'll say sorry, you'll say something 'clever', and we'll be good.

There are geeky people on the OTHER SIDE of this great geek divide? no way! i say we just go over there kill them all. that's it I'm crossing the geek chasm.  anyone coming with me?

kill the larps! kill them all! RAWRRR!

[Good Intentions]

I'm not asking you to like them. I'm asking you not to be so aggressive about throwing your dislike all over the place.

You used your freedom to post to say how unacceptable you find LARPers. I used my freedom to say how unacceptable I find your tirade. I'm talking about something much more immidiate than a fringe greek group with zero representation here. Your tirade is terrible for a variety of reasons: its infantile, its unwelcoming, its an ad hominem attack, a misrepresentation, etc.

[YojimboMonkey]

I'd think someone who is into LARPing would have some idea how ludicrous what they do might seem to someone else and have developed a sense of humor about it.  

Anyway, I don't see a point in continuing this; I think it started out as a light-hearted jab but apparently got under someone's skin.  Sorry if you don't like people making fun of LARPers GI.

[dumbfish]

and i don't like 311, sublime or jam bands, so i don't see what you've got on me.

Kettle, you are black.


Everyone worth knowing is a dork about something.

well, alright. i'm going to use my freedom to go to bed.

i should never have posted that shit about devil sticking.

It wasn't a light-hearted jab, not on reese's part at least. And I'm the one who's supposed to make the insincere apologies if we're going to be playing to role.

It drives me up the walls how a core of people go around proclaiming how wonderful and openminded this messageboard-over-the-rainbow is, then run around acting like the bullies they were never strong enough to become.

[SPACERACE]

i'm pretty sure you're the only one offended.

i was fucking around. i do not believe we have any real larp fanatics around here, and if we did i probably wouldn't be so vocal. this is really the first time anyone, even including times when i've been amongst people who have larped, when anyone has been offended by me making fun of larping.

[Good Intentions]

We'll ask the kids driven off the board.

[leslie]

Yo yo yo, please call the hounds back into the yard, I asked, I had never heard of Larpers until today and so theyanswered me and gave me context for the place the question got answered, and then it took off from there. I think it is a little funy therre's a formal name from what I used to call this as a child "pretending" but you know, if it makes these people happy, god bless.

[SPACERACE]

if you're talking about lou, he can go fuck himself, he was talking about things that, in my eyes, are a bit more serious than silly getups and hitting others with foam.

you need to understand, larping is not a major issue for me. i don't lose sleep over it. (hah! haha!) i think it's a strange hobby, and those that devote themselves to the practice whom i have met have scared me off of it, and then i am not alone in my experience. if i have truly done the world a disservice, i sincerly apologise, but i can't bring myself to feel all too bad right now.

now i am so done.

[MurkPlectrum]

Jesus Christ, nobody who dresses like a wizard & waves wands around at other fuckin wizards or chimps is gonna be the least bit surprised when reese comes along pokin his stick in Milly's kid's juice box & lickin them off it like anyone sensible. Make fun of the ants, the chimp, the fuckin wizards, the philosophes, Johnny Mercer, & the goddamn Tokyo Stock Exchange. We're all heart on a human sail along the landlockatee shoals of yore, man, fuck it, I made a happy plate.

[SPACERACE]

never say that again.

[Good Intentions]

I'm talking about Mike M, and the Chimneys, and Murk (who has made a comeback) and the legion of people who find the clicques too intimidating or insulting to post.

And no, reese, you made a deep personal attack against these people (who you don't know!) without exception because of some idiots you met. It's not only insulting to my sense of rethoric (particular towards general and all that) but to my sense of community. And now you are trying to say that it's all gentle ribbing? Bullshit. Take you innocent face somewhere else.

But I'll be more than happy if you keep to your intention of not acting like this anymore.

[MurkPlectrum]

I'm talking about Mike M, and the Chimneys, and Murk (who has made a comeback)

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK.

[theartlessmonster]

Mike M and the Chimneys

whoa, that's a great name for a band!

and Murk your COMEBACK is quite comical, thanks for COMING BACK.

It's MurkPlectrum everybody, lets have a round applause for "the COME BACK poster of the year" woohoo!  *Clapping**Clapping*

Murk? would you like to say a few words to the viewers who have voted you into this glorious title?

[MurkPlectrum]

I've been here for years.

[theartlessmonster]

oh murk! no no no, you are so bad at this role playing, you are supposed to hug and thank endless lists of people. sheez!

next time i'm just going to script the lines for you to say and you'll say them how i direct you to.

but start out with something like "I'd like to thank Mary because well you know she's so sweet and wonderful I could never have succeeded with out her, I owe my posting career to her mostly well no entirely really, yes entirely"

actually you can just go ahead and cut and paste that and I'll pretend I didn't know you were going to say it and I act all surprised and teary-eyed, it will be fun. trust me.

[RoyBiggins]

While Mike M and the Chimneys is not a bad name, I have been saying for a while now (in secret, of course) that Murk and the Chimneys would be my band name for a while.  Except, it's less funny now that Murk is out of the Wyoming Gulag, and is the official comeback poster of the year.
