Got it. When I read "roots", I started brainstorming all kinds of things, none of which included expanding on the existing lore.

The meaning was so obvious, now that I look at it, that I'm a little embarrassed that I overcomplicated it.

Care to elaborate on what you mean by "roots"?

10. Cats or dogs? Puppies!

Why didn't I think of that!?

Grats!

[ QUOTE ]
Damn it, Badge!

[/ QUOTE ]

I was thinking the same thing!

1. What's your favorite color?
Black

2. What is your very favorite song of all time?
Exodus - Bob Marley and the Wailers

3. What is your very favorite movie of all time?
The Matrix... if you understood what I understand about the movie and what it represents, you'd know why

4. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what THREE things would you take with you?
Good question

5. If you could own any kind of car, what would it be?
Lamborghini Diablo

6. If you were in prison and were about to be executed, what would your final meal be?
Ox-tail with Rice and Peas

7. If you could have dinner with three people, living or dead, who would they be?
Bob Marley, Moses, Hitler

8. If you could do any profession, what would it be?
I'm a programmer... it's what I do and who I am

9. If you could change ONE thing about yourself, what would it be?
Good question

10. Cats or dogs?
Dogs

11. What is your favorite sport and why?
Basketball, because of the combination of teamwork, individual ability, artistry, and athleticsism

12. If you had your choice between staying home watching TV, going to the movies or going to a professional sporting event, which would you choose?
Going to a sporting event and sitting in a skybox... the best of both worlds

13. If you could be ANYBODY in the world, who would you be and why?
I'd have to be me, because no one can be me better than me

I'll stand by my original statement that "you should go" if you stand by your original statement that "you don't plan to change".

Adapt. Those that cannot adapt are doomed to damage their surroundings and inevitably to self destruction. It's true in nature. It's true in biology. It's true in politics. It's true in the game and on the forums.

As a highly intelligent individual, PK, you should already know that.

I could not care less about this whole silly thread, but I simply want to interject that people who cannot learn to get along with others tend to not go very far in life... It's a pretty important "life skill" to have.

Unfortunately for me, it's actually a "condition" that I have so needless to say, sometimes just asking outright is the best way to go.

I have a question for you, PK...

When were you diagnosed with Asperger's?

[ QUOTE ]
Personal attacks, even when invited, are still inappropriate (this is not addressed to anyone in specific). As is evading the language censor (this is pointed at certain people).

Also I fall into the deal with your current situation rather than leaving camp. Let me consult the I.B.D.A.D. however (Inexpensive binary decision assisting device, i.e. flipping a coin).

/em flip

/em looks

The IBDAD agrees with me. Looks like you stay.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with you that PK should stay and find a way to co-exist, but that was already suggested...

If your behavior is causing agitation from the very people you are attempting to interact with, and said behavior is not an act, but you just being you. Then either something is wrong with you, or you are wrong for them.

So, in conclusion, if you're irritating people, and you care about their opinions, then you do one of two things:
1. figure out what you're doing to irritate people and stop doing it
2. don't "hang out" with them

I recommend #1, because you should learn something useful about yourself in the process and hopefully improve yourself.

[/ QUOTE ]

But PKs response was...
[ QUOTE ]
Very logical, but #1 isn't going to happen. I know what's irritating people and it's my natural personality. That's not changing. I went through enough of that in my young life. I'm not changing for anyone anymore. Thus the poll. If people don't want me to play in their sandbox, I'll take my toys and go home.

[/ QUOTE ]

The only logical conclusion is for him to leave. Staying will only cause more negative attention (to put it mildly) directed his way and cause this cycle to continue. Maybe if he leaves he'll see the truth...

Then you already know what you should do. There is no need to ask the question.

Happy Birthday!

Let me expand on this a little bit.

Normally around 10 PM EST or so. Out of curiousity, how long does this TF normally take?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the average time for a Kidengineer led ITF is in the 30-40 minute range, depending on team composition.

Congratulations!

Woot!

Wow

Awwww

*wipes away a tear*

Lead a team? I'll see what I can do.

That qualifies as a valid test to me, Vega.

...that is why I don't have a facebook/myspace/livejournal - too many ways it can be used against you - for good (keeping in contact with friends/family) or ill (article).
