This is true. One of my close friends helps run the local-ish Ren Faire and wants me to work it next year, with the explicit benefit of basically getting laid constantly by every woman there. Evidently, I'm crazy-hot by Faire standards.

I'm going to drop character and be serious for a moment.

I did the ren faire thing for a summer. And in 2 months, I got laid 4 times by 2 different women. Now to a man as studly as you, that's probably not braggable at all. But to a hideous, malformed troll like me, that's an insane amount of strange.

The downside? Even by my lowered expectations, those women weren't all that. True, a suave, handsome, and wealthy man like you could get a huge quantity of sex, but I get the idea that you could do better quality-wise very easily.

As I have no doubt said before about ren faire ladies: The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

EDIT: Not to pass judgment at all, I'd still be doing the ren faire thing if I wasn't so goddamn broke all the time and had money to do anything at all. which at this point I doubt will ever happen, I think if I worked hard at something and actually got rewarded for it I'd probably have a heart attack and die.

You should never drop character; no one at the ren faire does.

While you have a point in general, I know some of the ladies in question who are actually very attractive. Also, I have essentially no standards at all.

My concern is I don't want to work 7 days a week for 3 months. Shortly after working 6-7 days a week for 3.5 months in my normal jobs.

Is Minmax domain down for everyone else?

There might be more attractive women out there, to be fair. I just don't even see attractive women anymore because they tend to not like me at all. The last girl I asked out that wasn't some variety of hamtroll told me yes, stood me up, rescheduled and stood me up three more times, after the third time I found out I was in deep shit at work because she had reported me to the boss for stalking her and told all my friends I was "creepy".

The time before that, after the third date she blew up my phone for about three hours with repeated text messages telling me that I wasn't good enough for her, and demanding to know what I was going to do to prove myself. My response of "First, I'm going to stop dating emasculating bitches" didn't go over well...

Fat ugly chicks might have their own unique problems, but despite their crowing that they're just as hot as anyone else, they tend to seem genuinely happy you're talking to them even when they're boasting that all the men want to get in their pants.

But yeah, I guess it's different when your choices are "Work 7 days a week and almost never get laid because you're a mutant" and "Work 7 days a week and get laid an awful lot because the women are just as fucked up in their own way and they barely notice your issues". Not working 7 days a week has never been an option for me. That's actually a dream of mine; to one day make enough money for food and rent with only 1 job.

Oh, and Frank, if I kill a Kirin, will every single Good-Aligned creature in the known universe hunt me down?

If so, I could use the XP.

According to this you would totally get you attacked by North Korea's super-sentai-awesome-supreme-commander. That would be his tenth title by the way.

It's down. It's likely due to the whole getting hacked and redirected to a porn site, thing. The hosts probably took exception. Meg and Josh have taken a very hands-off approach to the boards as a whole, so I don't know if they even know about this.

So why is it that the pop-culture examples of macho men are all douches. Chuck Norris, Teddy Roosevelt, and Vladimir Putin are three that come to mind.

Because a lot of macho qualities are not nice qualities?

For anyone who doesn't personally have mad crafting skills, I don't see the appeal in trolling RenFaires. I mean, if you want to get laid on the strength of your awareness of nerd subcultures and your counterculture cred, why not troll OKC from the comfort of your home? That's what it's there for.

Oklahoma city? OK cupid? orange killer Capsacins?

OK Cupid.

And how do I use my otherwise useless awareness of nerd stuff to get laid through OKC? I'm doing something wrong here, apparently. (Possibly by living in Sacramento...)

Ren Faire makes it much easier to get several at once.

I have nothing positive to say about OK Cupid. At all. YMMV, as standard. Bunch of snobby stuck-up runts with a c on that website from my perspective.

Count, so far as I've found, that's life.

Count Arioch the 28th · Fri Jan 04, 2013 10:59 pm

I don't know, women in real life seem to be more willing to drop their standards that on the internet. On the web, she can be the curvy sex goddess that men can't have. In real life, she is fat, lazy, and her crotch smells like mildew and she is damn lucky that a decent guy is even looking her way.

Call me a creep, but I spend my time where it is appreciated.

What's OK Cupid?

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Sat Jan 05, 2013 1:34 am

A dating website.

Count Arioch the 28th · Sat Jan 05, 2013 1:44 am

It is sketchier than Match.com, but less sketchy than craigslist. Then again, internet dating is for the birds and I do not recomend it.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Sat Jan 05, 2013 2:28 am

How is Ok Cupid sketchy? Prone to fake spam accounts, I'll grant you, but sketchy?

Whatever · Post by **Whatever** » Sat Jan 05, 2013 2:31 am

It's a free online dating site. You get what you pay for.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Sat Jan 05, 2013 2:35 am

Fair enough... They have a paid level, which seems to mostly just make it easier to find what you want (or find that what you want doesn't exist in your area).

Could degenerate matter like neutronium exist as a stable and workable solid in environments other than a neutron/pulsar/magnatar star?

This is actually a really good question. My guess is that once the electrons collapse into the protons forming neutrons, the neutrons will remain that way. The weak nuclear force will bind the proton and electron parts together and the strong nuclear force will bind the big glob of neutrons together.

Stable and workable? I have no idea. Neutronium will be hella-dense so manipulating it into a structure that humans could interact with would probably require an incredible amount of energy.

However I am not a physicist, nor do I play one of TV, so I'm curious how close my answer will be to reality.

EDIT: I suck at science
