Title: RPG in Real Life
Post by: Corsair on August 29, 2005, 12:04:17 pm: http://www.bbspot.com/News/2003/09/rpg_life.html

If I'm posting this, does it mean that I'm losing experience points because I'm sitting at my desk and not out talking to girls?

Post by: EtherShock on August 29, 2005, 12:41:47 pm: I think this is one of those unique solutions. In fact, it might only work for him. The article presents it as a joke however, and I find that to be highly unprofessional. Then again, this doesn't look like a very professional site, so I shouldn't be surprised.

'Politics; Senate Reaches Compromise on Gay Flag Burning Ban Amendment'

Post by: TopAce on August 30, 2005, 05:15:01 am: I have a better approach to social life: I shave not only once in two weeks. It can only be good if you do not look like a Wookie.

As for the article: I also think this must be a joke, a very creative one, to say the least. But I wouldn't recommend this approach to anyone. You might look insane if somebody discovers what you are up to.

And you can speak to any girl as much as you can, if she has a boyfriend, you have no chance.

Post by: IPAndrews on August 30, 2005, 05:22:11 am: Unless her boyfriend looks like a wookie. I can see how your theory works TopAce.
Title: RPG in Real Life
Post by: TopAce on August 30, 2005, 05:24:25 am: But if they have already developed a relationship, the girl will not abandon him just because she has met a more awesome boy (who she hardly knows.)

Looking like a Wookie and being as strong as a Wookie are too different things.

Post by: TrashMan on August 30, 2005, 03:50:31 pm: "I've been dealing with Microsoft for some time," Lucifer said. "I've been at this evil thing for millions of years, and wanted a way out. I considered an IPO, but then Steve-O and Billy came along and told me about their 'Evil Everywhere' plan. I just couldn't refuse."

Evil was founded by Satan close to the beginning of time. It has been growing steadily ever since, although most of the growth has accelerated in the past five years with the development of the Internet. Satan plans to retire to a small island in the Bahamas and write a column for the local newspaper.

:LOL:

[color=66ff00]Actually if the police had a sense of humour over here I'd chuck a copy of Final Fantasy at the copshop.

I can just see the headlines now...
