No, since one is already trouble enough.

Leakware ?
Bloodware ?

Or is that Nervewear ?

I'd say that depends on your position.

Or hers ....

yeah, yeah... troubleware, shareware, leakware...
Does any of you naughty boys even have a girlfriend?

I mean, a real one, not some input switch box?

What about vapourware?

Oh wait, I don't think anybody would like that...

Yes,of course we have. That's why we know that we're getting close to the truth here...

But if you want to apply for the position yourself, we might be willing to reconsiderate...

Send applications with an extensive CV and at least one nude shot to each of the participants here, and you might be allowed to join the party...:devil:

Don't ever make fun of my dear ELSIE ! (The "Electric Lust Switch Interface Entertainment"- System)
She's one of the finest memories from my adolescence. :speech:
Some days I really miss her.
But the electric bill went throuth the roof.( And so did she, after that 380V incident, back in '88.

)
Ah...the (g)olden days of experimenting....

Actually no - not at the moment, where I've been blessed with good luck :laugh:

Don't get too close to that piece of cheese, you can spring the trap.

Sounds tempting but I don't usually rob the cradle.

Well, it might have been accidentally, but it's a long time since someone mentioned "robbing the cradle" and me in one sentence.

Even my daughters, (who usually adore me) think I'm an old fart by now..

So...THANKS...I guess...

No. Didn't you say, "we" and "to each of the participants here"? You might be still eligible

but the others are clearly not. Kipi and Des prefer to play with plastic toy soldiers and Xandax is preoccupied with SQL and can't be bothered with RL.

The magic of SYM. The talk has deviated from hardcore gaming to old farts. Typical

Yes, have been dating couple of months by now...

Plastic toy soldiers? If you mean our "war thread", that has long time ago forgotten thing... (at least for me)

Everybody needs real life... it's mostly just too difficult to include to everything else, so why bother?

On topic.

I think we should add more criteria.

The First Amendment (shall henceforth be known as Kipi Amendment):

When buying a new computer, you are able to persuade the salesperson to include a floppy drive, DOS and WIN 95, even if the store stopped carrying these items 10 years ago.

The Second Amendment:

You opt to solo the party-based games.

The Third Amendment:

Before starting a game, you spend a week carefully crafting/planning your char. Then you post the build in the forum so the rest of the nerds can give their opinion.

Is there any other way to start out RPGs??

Agreed lol. Tho im more to the extensive planning part and not so much the publicizing part.

Which is one of the reasons I hate it when the manual doesn't describe in enough details what each stat/class/feat/ability does. It's so annoying when you make something that sounds cool (because you don't get the crunchy numbers) and after half a game your hero isn't half as effective as his companions.
