SSgt Baloo Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Re: How to make the Loner feel not so Lonely? SSgt Baloo: Thanks for the compliment (sorry if it seemed like I was fishing for one, after re-reading my lines of self-deprecation, I guess it could seem like it. I wasn't really looking for one, it's sadly just how I write...) I guess I might find someone who could put up with me someday, but I'm not really searching. I figure that I'll have to put my life together before I think of adding anyone else to the mix. But since I just found a bunch of friends (who'll listen to my nonsense), it'll be good enough. First of all, you weren't fishing. I'm old enough to know the difference between self-deprecation and things that might look like it. I just thought it needed saying. Even average-looking people are attractive, especially once you mature to the point that your hormones aren't jerking you around. Give yourself some credit. You come across like a good, decent person. What's not to like?* *Not a pick-up-line. I'm pretty sure I'm "Old People" by your standards.

Vondy Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Re: How to make the Loner feel not so Lonely? Sort of a weird question, but when do threads stop? My loner problem is kind of done for a bit, and I've noticed that it's been mostly my insane J-girl craziness lately. I like this thread, but I don't want it to get locked if we go off topic or something? -SC Threads drift like continents on the Hero Boards. They stop when people grow tired on them. Or we all die of topic shift induced whiplash. A great many threads end on a totally different topic than they started on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Re: How to make the Loner feel not so Lonely? Sorry to be so evasive, it's not like I'm trying to tease anyone, it's just that I'm sort of worried about the whole safety issue (I know you all are nice, but you never know who may come across these replies... Maybe I'm just over-worrying again...) Don't worry about it. I'm just teasing. You'll find that I'm like that. I'm one of the (vanishingly few) not-nice guys here. I have absolutely no need to know, and you shouldn't tell me. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop guessing, though. ...you sure it's not Fin Fang Foom?

Lucius Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Re: How to make the Loner feel not so Lonely? Well, I didn't want to make it a big mystery or anything. My name is Japanese (I'm Japanese, there's a lot of Japanese in NY, so I guess that's not giving away anything big). But there's probably not that many girl Japanese Champions GM's out there...

This one is my first real internet social activity, and I have been having a good time Don't worry, we'll probably scare you off eventually. Just keep in mind that RPG geeks are a bit weird even by the standards of the internet (or in real life - I often wonder what non-gamers who inadvertantly listen to our gaming group's discussions about our campaign at lunch are thinking).

Matchmaker' date=' matchmaker, find me a match[/i'] - Detect Soulmate, Sense, Range, Telescopic "Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, Find me a find, catch me a catch." Alas, you have to define it before you can detect it. Before such a power would work in a game, someone has to answer the question: What's a "soulmate?"

Lucius Alexander The palindromedary thinks SimComm needs to define "soul" if player characters are buying and selling them. Much like a "Soul" or "Spirit" or other abstract idea it would vary from campaign to campaign/game to game. Still a legitimate build as long as you and your GM aggree on the definition.
