I love RPG's, I RP all the time. I am intresetd in D&D. I play MMORPG's. Im pretty good woth computers & technolagy. I am short & fat but bif boned. I listebn to POP, soem rock, soem claiscal rarely & KH/FF soundtracks all the time.
Would I be considerd a nerd or geek? Please telll me.
PS: Sorry if this is spam. I tried to find the best fourm for this.
Why do you find it necessary to ask such a question?
Do you get paid to do all that stuff? If so, then you're a nerd.
Otherwise, you're a geek.
Thanx. I was wondering.
But wait, arent all peopel who play RPG's considerd geeks or nerds? Beacuse whenever I talk about RPg's lotsa peopel call me a geek or nerd.
Go outside.
People who play RPGs are considered people who play RPGs. Let people call you what they want. Who cares either way? It's just a label; it doesn't change who you are.
Its too hot to go outside. I have a low resistance to heat but a high restance to cold.
Oh, I forgot, I do work out. But Im still fat (not too lonh though before its all gone).
Hey, that woudl eb woerd, a built guy playng RPG's & D&D, wierd.
No, not really. A lot of guys here are fairly... fit, or however you want to put it. When I played D&D my DM was a martial artist and pretty dang built.
You must live in a strange alternate reality. Around here it's pretty normal to play video games and not restricted to fat people or any such thing.
LOL I live in the same realaty. I just always thoguh that peoep, who play RPG's are fat or super skinny geeks.
I dotn realy care what other people think of me as, I just wanted to know. Just a thoguht that came up.
Let me guess, because of Lindy?
~Keep it gooey~
Aren't geeks the one that do funny stuff and make people laugh, and every so often wear hilarious pants?
You are whatever you are but the moment your goals do not match what you are doing (I want to be rich so I'm going to play warcraft all day), then you're just a dork.
We're all geeks here.
If you have to ask, you'll probably never know.
Yes, you are
I've been playing RPG's since I was 9, I also have been in gymnastics since I was 4, which thus leaded me into trying out for cheerleading.
Hope that kills your idea of "Only nerds who are fat or ridiculously skinny play RPGs" stereotype.
Watch out cuz someone on this board hates fat people with a passion and wants them to die.Quote:

Do whatever you want, screw people and their stupid idealogy on how you should be to society. Its dumb, it shows no potency, and people like celebrities promote this for their own personal gain. Think of yourself before anyone elseQuote:

If you are a geek, then be a geek. But if you are a geek trying to be a player...something's incongruent. The congruency is what is most important -- for example a basketball player is not going to care that he's not 300 lbs and ripped; that sort of value system doesn't apply to his value system. Likewise if you are a geek you aren't supposed to care about things that don't related to being a geek...whatever it is.
I'm still not quite sure what a geek is.
PG, don't be fat. It is true because I believe it's true. If you believe it's not true, it isn't true. The majority believes it is true, which is reflected in social structure and all that crap, but that doesn't mean people who refuse to buy into it are dopes or anything.
Geeks by definition are tech-savy individuals; such as clout, Endless, Samuraid, and Dr Unne. The rest of us are nerds, or nerds aspiring to be geeks. Geek is an honorable title. Nerd is just a sad, sad little man.
You are a sad, sad little man
I'm sure it is the other way around, nerds are the smart ones who don't get any, and geeks are the ones just not getting any.
I was going to show you some good pictures I got off google after searching for both breeds, but all I got was porn.
I was only joshin' around. :mad2:Quote:

You posted this in general chat, meaning that you're looking for only one answer.
Wrong, you cant speak for everyone.Quote:

i'm good at school but no one would dare casll me a nerd/geek in my area some reason they fear i'll knock them out i think
idiots i wouldn't try it
don't let names bother your life just get on with it
Blue_Mage, I think you can be whatever you want to be. Nerd and geek are just labels, and labels suck since they stereotype people. I don't like being called either, but that's probably because the definition where I live means people who have no lives or friends, who are completely anti-social and it's practically impossible to get any contact to them, and who spend all their days studying and nights programming and h4x0ring. There's some additional definitions for them, like they go into the shower once in a month if even that, they download animal pr0n off their Unix/Linux systems and they look really pimpled and ugly. In addition, those labeled as a nerd or a geek get frowned upon by some people.
the clever, witty, typical Denmark response: do you bite the heads off chickens? if so, you are. otherwise, good for you.
the cynical response: who really cares? what does it matter? >:O
the serious response: yes, probably. you're posting on an internet message board. you're asking if you are and giving a lot of affirmative evidence. and you're worrying about it. ^_^
i was once called a geek my response was 'so? you're ugly and dumb!'
*geekish laughter*
geek is just a term for a clever person
hmm...
*jesse1, after a long day of playing nothing but rpgs goes outside to help mom carry in the groceries*
*hissssss* i'm meeeelting i'm meeeelting....the sun...it's so bright *hissss*
if you do that too then yes you are a geek/nerd
My dad has me on strict regiment of Military bar press and curl. Six sets each, six reps a pop. 60lbs. I cheat sometimes, so I'm a bit of a weakling.Quote:

If I'm at the drive thru I'll tell the lady at McDonalds, "I want a Burger plzkthnx!" If she responds in a negative tone I say, "You FAIL! Smurf off BAI!!" WHY?! Cause I like to!
When I'm going down the road and there's a gansta' pumpin his fat jams in his tight ride and I'm listening to Utada or BoA or some anime title them opening or some Final Fantasy song I turn it up and I sing LOUDLY in really bad Japanase because I like to!
Dude. You are who YOU are regardless of labels or titles so the only thing necessary is to be what makes youself happy. At the end of the day lying with your thoughts it's only you and yourself.
