| I think this is by far the craziest forum I've ever been to
What do you guys think? It's the craziest and b!itchingest forum I've ever seen. Not even curling or table tennis forums get THIS cool.

| As far as forums go yeah this is pretty crazy, but it's nothing compared to those forums about D&D games - every second member has around 20,000 posts and always argues about nerd jargon. It's scary.

| Nerd - A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
I love culture and languages and I'm completely anti-social. (and I keep a dictionary with me at all times, I read it when I'm almost bored...)
Geek - Generally, a person who enjoys cerebral activities (such as wordplay, computer programming, and use of the Internet) more than the mainstream population does. Geeks in this sense increasingly claim the word with pride, but it may give offense when used by others, suggesting inadequacy in normal social relationships.
Most nerds also apply to being a geek... I know that I do.  hehehe... *blushes*

A vorpal sword might be able to auto-kill but ever since I took up fencing I inrease my defense and parry skills to the max. Well I don't play D&D nowadays but I used to. I NEVER WENT ON THE FORUMS THOUGH!

Read the Jabberwocky, posted in the favorite poetry thread (or look it up on the web) to know what it is you are getting...

| There is nothing wrong with roleplaying... DnD does not make anyone a homocidal cultist. Their own inability to control themselves does. DnD does not in anyway encourage anti-social behavior and in fact the game is meant to be a social experience more than anything else anyway.

Actually, Dungeons and Dragons helps the anti-social to be social. And no one said that it encouraged it. The only thing that is being said here that could (emphisize could) be taken as a bad thing is being called nerds, but even people who don't play are called nerds... I for one have never considered it a bad thing (DnD) but I've just never felt the need to play it.
Sabreur... It's not going into the hands of someone inexperienced *snicker* seriously, what would I do with it? I'm going to give it away to one of my friends who plays Dungeons and Dragons (I think that they'd like a sword, would they not?), but a bet is a bet, and DFP owes me a vorpal sword as I've named a nerd who doesn't play.
