  1. Unless you intend on doing so on a photo platform, as the body breaks above certain altitudes.
  2. Points a laser pen at the floor and traces it across the room.
  3. True, that bit wasn't the most sound form of argumentation, but then this isn't an electoral debate, it's someone on the Internet being annoying - and, to be fair, talking absolute nonsense which makes them appear stupid and entitled.
  4. Tea! Never. WHAT?! ... I'm innocent. No - a kilt.
  5. Oh, she's a musician? I .. Didn't know that. I'm guessing she doesn't doesn't do much metal.
  6. I have thought about making a guide about it somewhere, but since my photo guide here on the forums fell off the first page I thought it might not be the best place to post it. I'd might be up for doing something in-world instead, buuut probably not at Oxbridge on account of the whole 'being banned due to paranoia and slander' thing.
  7. Absolutely nothing, just as you basing your thesis of hurtful humour on what your dad.
  8. Well, I think that both that question and the prior discussion appears a bit black and white. Griefers whose only goal is to tick people off and waste their time, who do nothing constructive whatsoever, I generally don't treat very nicely (although to be honest, I barely see any). But things like nudging someone off the road when you drive by, or nudging someone off a ledge when they serve it up for you, can be amusing and doesn't necessarily have to be mean spirited - whereas using a gun to shoot particles or prims at people at such an extreme rate that their viewers crash, is just destructive. Way back when, there was a game that I used to play wherein you could do various console commands to change your character's skin or colours, and most prominently, the colour of your lightsaber (t'was a Star Wars game), and a very common thing people did to crash servers was to make a macro to rapidly change colours (of course it was crude, and half of the time they crashed themselves before the server went down). That would be destructive griefing, in my book. In the same game, a common thing to do with people who weren't as hi with console commands as you, was to tell them to write /disco in the console to do a cool dance (in fact the console auto-completed it to disconnect you from the server) or /qui gon jin to get a cool character skin (which auto-completed to quit the game) - and because everyone could see what you said to them on the server, and saw a message when people disconnected, everyone would see when you successfully tricked someone - that I'd consider more along the lines of harmless fun. You'd be frustrated for a minute, but when you got back to the server everyone would be in a cheery mood because of what they'd just seen.
  9. It's a little bit too affectionate for my taste. But it does sound tasty. Perhaps if you'll let me have a nibble on occasion?
  10. Unfortunately, no. Perhaps once I've claimed power, although I'm thinking Vlad III's method might be quicker, and there'll be a whole lot of people on the chopping block ... Yes, you utter bagel. No, that's why I like you.
  11. Yes, of course my point being that a whole lot of people are absolute failures in the eyes of civilized society and should be marooned on some barren corner of the world to fend for themselves as nature intended.
  12. Ponders whether to do an @Scylla Rhiadra-esque treatment, if he can find one of Seicher's shots.
  13. I never mentioned 'mutually enjoyable', but anyone can learn to behave and show some etiquette. And that's why it works so well - if they get upset and storm off, I don't have to tell them to get lost, do I?
  14. Whether they're worth my time, obviously. If a person's instinctive reaction to inappropriate behavior is outrage or 'being offended', chances are we're not going to get along very well. If you want a superficial and pretentious politeness rather than someone you can be yourself around, you go ahead and enjoy that.
