[QUOTE="hellbender, post: 949280, member: 795"] I am still on Wayside's side. The more I read of this thread, the more the side of people looking for gamer mates becomes clear to me. Earlier in the night I ran into one of the players that was edged out of my group. It is not the fact that he is a sloppy nerd, it is the pseudo-intellectual banter that slays me. I have players that are cool, maybe not brilliant, but not fronting, either. And this guy thinks he is so damned cool, yet he is a major geek. And he places extremely high expectations (arguably not to be found anywhere nearby) on women. One could safely argue so high as to keep himself single, and maybe that makes him feel better about himself in the end. And these things didn't edge him out (well, the slob attitude was a contributing factor), but the fact that he isn't even a good player, and he's a crappy DM. But he hangs out at the FLGS and makes the rest of us look like winners. Now, I am NOT suggesting anyone here is this far off; as abrasive as I am, I want to think most of you are normal. And I don't feel I am a superior being, but I am well educated and well traveled, and the 'kewl' crowd is as impressive as tainted cheese. Wayside, if you ever, by curse or bad directions end up in my neck of the woods, you are always welcome to a game. Just don't bring cheap beer. hellbender [/QUOTE]
