Being the brand spanking newbie I am (2nd post) I'm out of the loop when it comes to this Victor Gaylis thing. Is it Non-SMAC vs. The Game or what? And WHY do forums think they are always better than the other? For instance, for any who have AOL and go to the War Room, they have an ongoing war with the Video Games Lounge. The Depressed room Regs hate the people in God is a myth. So why? Why are people so freakin' secular? Just an insignificant post on a sea of ongoing threads....

You're just a newbie dweeb. From now on only speak if a vet asks you to. Alright, punk?

I'll take that as a joke and not as a real statement

Consider yourself to be anything that you want. I think that was one of the points of the Forum Wars: The VG Incident. Some people took offense at his strident usage of the terms: "veteran" and "newbie". There were other things.

Saw that Aredhran
Kagera: You better hide from the "old and grumpy ones". They are fiercely intimidated by anyone with both brains and sense of humour... (They'll could become so disappointed they'll start taking down the Newbie Duck and Mickey Newbie posters they have nailed to their walls - I don't even know what that means though...)

kagera: just ignore Freddz, that is what the rest of us do. It works great, he just sits there and talks to nobody while the rest of us carryout real conversations.

Man, that hurt bad... Sh*t... The one with the knife and the sabre a while ago hurt pretty bad too...Of course, they say all irony has that nasty ring of truth in it... Then again... I have too just a few thoughts... I always have, you know, right or wrong... well, lets get on with it --
Do really call that **** you guys are saying real conversations? Sounds like apes finding a way to be express opinions, hoping they come out sensible; trying to forget their hairy arms, the silly subject they think important, their repressed inner life, their flat hairy faces and squared brains... trying to remember the last time they really had a life because of all their pain and denied hopes; shadow artists some would call some of you, not daring to release their protective shielding... Instead you're comparing d*cks in here really, but forgetting that we should wait for SMACX before we actually throw them out. YES, you believe it's important to be intellectual and mature, the survival instinct we were taught so hard still block you all from the real reason you are all gathered in here - your wish to be little fat fluffy kids again that could live that long lost childish curiosity out fully again. Your real chance to escape maturity without anyone in the real world spotting you, yet you fail in here anyhow and you have to tell yourself: "I'm sensible" "I'm right to be this way" "One can be real mature and still be crawling and hanging in this forum" "Repressed? I aaam nooot!" "Well, okay, but everyone is supposed to be that repressed" "That is what is normal" "We just do this because we are meant to survive, not to be creative" "What do you mean, left brain half?". And actually, those last thoughts never reach most, because they sound so darn silly and the shield has always long before gone up. "I don't think that way...I'm... bla bla bla" the song goes. And you will be the ones being f*cked up the rest of your life and never realizing it, well, some of you anyway...
Cool? I wish those n-n-needles I used when I wrote didn't hurt so...
What? I'm the one crazy?
I don't think so.

Freddz....um yes my face is hairy, I have had a beard for the last 25 years (have shaved it off once in that time and grew it back immediately...my kids didnt like it). It aint flat though and my brain aint square but as of this past monday night I dont have a life now. I am stuck in for a while. I left work monday night...went to hospital(I was sick with a head cold about 2 weeks ago and havent quite gotten over it)and I was diagnosed with what used to be referred to as "walking pneumonia". I will be out of work until at least next week wednesday, so until then all I have are the 500 forums I read on and the comp. games I have to play.So yes you are right...you are normal and I and probably many others are pathetic losers. Glad you could point that out to me so I could feel real good about myself...thanks man.

And besides ..I haven't had a cigarette since Monday night 7pm. I guess it is a good way to help me quit, but I am really losing my mind and not feeling sensible.
Freddz posted 06-17-99 04:02 AM ET
Man, I knew I was right!
Freddz posted 06-17-99 04:10 AM ET
Actually, Old, don't get me wrong, I went nuts after finding out I was like that in here too It was tough to accept for my peanut brain obviously... Heh...
OldWarrior_42 posted 06-17-99 05:49 AM ET
I dont take no offense Freddz....I enjoy reading your stuff now that I know how. Besides I am a loser with no life for awhile now anyway.And some people might argue that I was even before I got sick. But I say screw them the no life losers.
