What have you learned today? P3

[Grenartia]

We should do Pong next.

Lords of the Pong.

Or maybe Snake.

Never Snake Never.

BTW, I have a friend who told me that they made a movie based off of Clue.

[Buffett and Colbert]

That my mom is a little funky about my sexuality. Or maybe I'm being paranoid. But apparently a conversation I had with someone else got around to her and we had the first little chat about it in months... Awkward.

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

<___< I learned that the top two results for "active duty" are gay porn sites...
(I was looking to clarify the definition for a F&NI thread...)

[The Murtunian Tribes]

You're all wrong. MISSILE COMMAND. That way we can capitalize on the popularity of 2012ish apocalyptic generes. The marketing practically writes itself.

[Oterro]

iTune's fade in thing with songs can be hilariously inappropriate.

[Zeth Rekia]

That Porn is much more effective when viewed in a public school.

[Veceria]

Oh Zeno, sometimes I just love you.

I learned that the few free days I'll have soon are already filled with things I have to do for school.

[Fartsniffage]

I learned that putting an offer in for a house is very scary. The amounts of money and timescales for repayment are fucking terrifying.

[Tropical Isles]

that I can't take criticism real well.

[Flameswroth]

Today I learned that NSG dwellers seem to have, on the whole, an overwhelming desire to jump in and inform those posting mistakenly in-character that this is an out of character forum.

Seriously, it's like someone tosses chum in the water with sharks. Why do we even care if the odd person has a single sentence outlining their region's position? It's not like it'll turn into an avalanche of in-character posters if you just let them find out through observation that it's OOC...

[Fartsniffage]

Errors pointed out.

[The Truth and Light]

That my mom is a little funky about my sexuality. Or maybe I'm being paranoid. But apparently a conversation I had with someone else got around to her and we had the first little chat about it in months... Awkward.

My mom made the funniest face when I told her that Justin Bieber was hot.

Ah I remember that feeling. It'll never leave you. Repayments always lurking over your shoulder waiting for you to slip up and ruin you.

[Dumb Ideologies]

I learned that I hate people but also hate being lonely. Work that one out.

Perhaps if you move a group of people of a certain size slowly away from me there's some optimum point where it all balances out.

Sorry, but I'm with your mom on this one.

But these things are never a subject of conversation in this house, adding to the awkwardness...

It's annoying and really egotistic. That's why.

It really doesn't take much time to check the discussion to see whether it's IC or OOC. Getting it wrong suggests exceptional stupidity and lack of attention to detail, faults highly worthy of mockery.

Or just someone new out of the IC forums, who wished to contribute to a topic, before being shot down by pretentious NSG members who feel its their duty to police such things, thus turning them off to the idea of ever posting again.

It's not pretentious to point out that someone is being a dumbass. If they can't take being told they're a dumbass when they're being a dumbass, NSG probably isn't the place for them.

No, but it is pretentious to automatically assume anyone new to the forum, from a forum where IC is the standard, is a dumbass that doesn't belong.

In either case, most people are not obtusely rude about informing the person it's OOC, so I don't think they share that sentiment. It's just interesting that they jump on it, as if it's some kind of treat to be able to say it to someone.

It isn't pretentious. It's mocking someone for making a lazy mistake that was easily avoidable if paying any attention whatsoever. Standard practice.

[Trollgaard]

I learned that at the end of the Bronze Age many major cities throughout the Mediterranean were burned and destroyed. One theory is that they were destroyed by the "Sea Peoples". I learned that I'm going to read up on the Bronze Age more than I was planning on!

[Coffee Cakes]

That it's official... the NHL is going back to Winnipeg... Atlanta's moving.
Gosh I hope they're called the Jets... Jets and Whalers were my 2 teams... then... they both moved... so I ended up with Phoenix out west... and 4 eastern conference teams... but, I root wicked hard for all my teams.

Angry rebellion from the redundant bronze craftsmen.

OH IS BRONZE TOO GOOD FOR YOU NOW?
