Relatives in the Playground

[PaladinFreak]

I think the title is pretty self explanatory. If you have relatives in the playground, post here and tell us. I don't care if you tell us who they are or not.

I have a Sister in the Playground, but not telling who. You're welcome to guess if you want.

[SMEE]

I have a brother in the Playground. :smallsmile:
Many people shall have a clue on who he is. :smallsmile:

[Zeb The Troll]

I have a relative here. :smallcool:

[Morty]

I've a Brother in The Playground.:smallwink:

[PaladinFreak]

I'll give you a couple of hints. My sister is a Forum Friendly, and posts way more than I do.

[Bookman]

Cassie? HMmmmmm I know yoou're not Ego's brother.......

Also I don't have anyone related to me.....and I think it's for the best cause otherwise it'd be too weird for my tastes

[Castaras]

Nah...my brother lurks and signed up in January 07 I think...maybe Feb...

As I'm sure many of you know, my mum, dad and brother are here. Some of you know who they are, some don't.

Some may even have guessed. :smalltongue:

[LCR]

Probably two big pies and a muffin.

[Castaras]

Probably two big pies and a muffin.

:smallbiggrin:

That made my day.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

My little sister lurks now and then and reads OotS almost as zealously as I do. But I'll be damned if I knew her screen name.:smallredface:

[Logic]

I have a brother in the playground, and at one point we had animated avatars depicting ourselves eradicating the other.

[Zeb The Troll]

I have a brother in the playground, and at one point we had animated avatars depicting ourselves eradicating the other.Doesn't your brother's avatar still do that?

Jewish Joke, right?

[Logic]

Doesn't your brother's avatar still do that?

Jewish Joke, right?

I though he had changed his avatar. But perhaps I am wrong.

[EmeraldRose]

I have a Husband in the Playground :smallbiggrin:

As well as two brothers in the playground, though they don't post very much...

[Dragonrider]

I have a little brother. A MOST obnoxious little brother. :smallannoyed:

[Dallas-Dakota]

I have a brother in the playground who reads OOTS, but no forum account....so no names shall be given..........

[Penguinsushi]

I have no close relatives (that I know of) on the boards - though I do have quite a few real-life friends here that are nearly family...

~PS

[ufo]

I'm so paranoid I sometimes suspect some of the people here being people I know's alter-egos.

[Azrael]

I'm so paranoid I sometimes suspect some of the people here being people I know's alter-egos.

You're not paranoid, you're just correct.


:smallamused:

[Shadow]

One of my best friends is hiding in te Playground somewhere, but he doesn't hang out in the forums that I do.
Those are a little too time consuming for his tastes....
And mine, now that I think about it....

[ufo]

You're not paranoid, you're just correct.


:smallamused:

If your location wasn't Boston, I would be very confused now.

Don't play games with me, fool! I tire of your mind games! Time for KNIFE FIGHT!

[Castaras]

If your location wasn't Boston, I would be very confused now.

Don't play games with me, fool! I tire of your mind games! Time for KNIFE FIGHT!

Unless he just put that location to fool you...:smallamused: :smallwink:

[ufo]

Unless he just put that location to fool you...:smallamused: :smallwink:

This is a conspiracy, isn't it? You guys planned this, right? So... confused.. cannot think clearly.

Must jump

See ya'll in hell!

[MrEdwardNigma]

No relatives in the playground I have... Wait, that was a bit Yoda'esk, wasn't it?
Anyways, I've only got a real life pal in the playground, but he only hangs in SMBG.

[Eldpollard]

I have no relatives or real life friends who frequent the forums. Some of my friends do read oots though.

[Jewish_Joke]

Yep, Logic and I are brothers, and most people around here are well aware of our eternal enmity.

We are constantly at war with each other, and I have on more than one occasion asked Alarra for permission to flame my brother. It never works, so we are forced to fight via extravagant avatars depicting each other's demise.

[Eldritch Knight]

Let's see.

We have me, the intelligent and cunning type with an overdeveloped sense of paranoia.

We have Xylric, my intellectually inferior twin brother with delusions of grandeur.

We have Korith. A Megalomanical Mastermind type, who is quite effective at inducing my mind to explode, and the reintegrate just so that it can implode.

Fortunatly, I only have the two brothers here.. .Makes me glad we don't have any little sisters.... We'd be screwed.

[averagejoe]

I'm so paranoid I sometimes suspect some of the people here being people I know's alter-egos.

I'm so paranoid that I sometimes suspect some of the people here being my own alter-egos. :smalleek:

[Dragonrider]

Hee hee....

It just occurred to me that I also have a cousin who's a forum lurker. Plus another brother, another cousin, and an uncle who read OOTS, and who could sign up at any time.

Lord save me!

I told my brother (the one who does definitely have an account) last night that he was NOT allowed to mention me in connection with him. I'd rather keep it simple. :smallbiggrin:

[Rama_Lei]

I have an identical twin who says the exact same things and thinks the same things as well. And we both use this account. And you'll never if I (or we) are lying....

[Icewalker]

My brother reads OOTS, but isn't on the forums.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

If your location wasn't Boston, I would be very confused now.

Don't play games with me, fool! I tire of your mind games! Time for KNIFE FIGHT!

I get the reference. YOU WIN!:smallbiggrin:

[Midnight Son]

I have a cousin who recently started lurking and I have turned several relatives on to the comic, but I don't think they've even glanced at the forums.

[Lord Magtok]

I have a sneaking suspicion one of the AMENites is someone I know in RL, who's waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves and make me feel like a fool for not suspecting them.

[Vespe Ratavo]

I have a sneaking suspicion one of the AMENites is someone I know in RL, who's waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves and make me feel like a fool for not suspecting them.

Magtok...
I AM YOUR FATHER.

[EmeraldRose]

Magtok...
I AM YOUR FATHER.

*giggles*

Someone was gonna make that joke sooner or later...:smallamused:

[SDF]

But the line is, "No, I am your father." Everyone always gets that wrong. I very much doubt my little brother comes here, but if he did... man that would be weird.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Feh. No one cares about the "No" part.

[Mr_Saturn]

Apparently SDF does, haha.

And im single in the playground. =o

:smallwink:

[Lykan]

No family in the playground.

I hope it stays that way. :smalltongue:

[Vespe Ratavo]

Apparently SDF does, haha.

And im single in the playground. =o

:smallwink:

Well Mr_Saturn, after all you've done for me, I suppose the least I could do is set you up with-

Oh wait a minute, you mean no family in the Playground, right?

Silly me.

[Ego Slayer]

I have a Brother in the Playground, but he lurks a lot, and I'm not telling you who he his.:smalltongue:

[Skippy]

Well, I actually got to know the Playground because of my brother, but I guess he's not here... Or he is only lurking, so perhaps I'll never know if I've got a Brother in the Playground or not...

[Dragonrider]

Yeah, my little brother was the one who got me onto it as well. And it's probably a good thing he's around here because it reminds me to watch what I say. :smallwink:
Little brother as big brother.....
Now he's always complaining that I'm "hooked". He's probably right. He hangs out in the comics section anyway so we don't bump into each other too much.
I've forbidden him from revealing our relationship. it would just get annoying, this is my place to ESCAPE from him! :smallwink:
Aaa, we get along well. Usually.

[Zeb The Troll]

My gamer spawn started reading OotS at the same time I did, but didn't register for the forums until just recently as a result of me talking about the SMBG. She alluded to our relationship in her post on the New Members thread, but the thread rolled over to a new page before any regular members came by to notice what she'd put.

[B-Man]

I think that my step-father-to-be is a member of the forums. I just don't know who he is.

[Mr_Saturn]

Well Mr_Saturn, after all you've done for me, I suppose the least I could do is set you up with-

--With yourself? Ahh, so you've been asking me to draw you all those avatars just to get close to me?

[faerwain]

I have a wife in the playground, but I'm not allowed to reveal it's Ms_......

[Mr_Saturn]

Ms_Elaneous!!111!11eleven!!11!

:smalleek: *gasp*

[Vespe Ratavo]

--With yourself? Ahh, so you've been asking me to draw you all those avatars just to get close to me?

Nope. Sorry to disappoint you Mr_Saturn. You're still really awesome though. :smallbiggrin:

[Logic]

I have a Brother in the Playground, but he lurks a lot, and I'm not telling you who he his.:smalltongue:

I know who he is. No, I won't give up your secret.

[Mr_Saturn]

Reveal, reveal, reveal the secret identity of ego's brother!

@ Vespe: If its not you, then who? :smalleek:

[The Vorpal Tribble]

I have an identical twin who says the exact same things and thinks the same things as well. And we both use this account. And you'll never if I (or we) are lying....
Crud, I was gonna do just that but you beat me to it...

[Penguinsushi]

I have an identical twin who says the exact same things and thinks the same things as well. And we both use this account. And you'll never if I (or we) are lying....

Crud, I was gonna do just that but you beat me to it...

Dissociative Identities don't count guys...

:smallwink:

~PS

[Ego Slayer]

I know who he is. No, I won't give up your secret.
Yeah, a bunch of people do.
I've decided I'm not going to give out info of that sort anymore.:smalltongue:

[Midnight Son]

Had to be done (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0s5Kn9QXtU)

[Skippy]

That was really, really funny. It made me draw the family tree...

[PaladinFreak]

I introduced all of my siblings to OotS, but only my sister is on the forums. I also introduced my cousin, and she lurks. My uncle has been reading OotS for I don't know how long.

I have a something of a gamer family.:smallcool:

[Mr_Saturn]

MY older brother reads OotS, but he and my other brothers aren't forum-nerds. Although maybe my oldest brother...but he goes on the anime/otaku forums i guess.

But we all are gamers.

[Syka]

I used to have a Boyfriend in the Playground, but if he is on here anymore than I have yet to run in to him. I know my sister reads OotS, but I don't think she's a forumite.

Probably for the best that I don't really know anyone from real life here. ;)

Cheers,
Syka

[Glaivemaster]

My Older brother said that he might join sometime, since he's heard good things about the forums. I'll have no idea when he does though, and I don't think he's on here yet

[Missing Shoe]

I know a handful of people who read OOTS but only one of them has a forum account, and I have no idea what his name is.

I find it better that way. I spend enough time with them as it is. The forum is a good chance to hear some others peoples views.

...And it would just be creepy having your parents in the playground.

[Vespe Ratavo]

@ Vespe: If its not you, then who? :smalleek:

It's probably better if you don't know. :smallwink:

Anyway, I don't have any family in the Playground, and I probably never will (none of my family is a gamer by any stretch of the imagination) but one of my friends is here, under the name Tostada. But, he hardly ever posts, or even lurks. World of Warcraft, you know.

[phantomhermit]

I have no close relatives (that I know of) on the boards - though I do have quite a few real-life friends here that are nearly family...

~PS

i am with penguinsushi on that one.

[Dunadan]

I have a cousin who recently started lurking and I have turned several relatives on to the comic, but I don't think they've even glanced at the forums.

Two cousins, actually.

[Midnight Son]

Two cousins, actually.Hello Cuz. Now to figure out which cuz is which. Of course, I still don't know the other's user name yet.

I bet I could guess the first letter of your name correctly, though.:smallcool:

[Dunadan]

Hello Cuz. Now to figure out which cuz is which. Of course, I still don't know the other's user name yet.

I bet I could guess the first letter of your name correctly, though.:smallcool:

Yeah, those odds are *slightly* in your favor. Let's see: are my initials DR, or are they DR?

[EmeraldRose]

OOO! I want to guess!! Are they DR?? :smallbiggrin:

[Midnight Son]

Yeah, those odds are *slightly* in your favor. Let's see: are my initials DR, or are they DR?I believe you'd be DR major. Still don't know DR minor's user name, though. Tell him to start posting.

[Dunadan]

OOO! I want to guess!! Are they DR?? :smallbiggrin:

I'm sorry, but you guessed wrong. They're DR. :smallwink:

[EmeraldRose]

*hangs head in shame and kicks dust*

:smallbiggrin:

[Skippy]

For a second I thought my brother had entered the forums, and then the thought ran away, since there was no response...

[stryker]

I have a cousin who recently started lurking and I have turned several relatives on to the comic, but I don't think they've even glanced at the forums.

It's not lurking, it's called espionage

[Midnight Son]

It's not lurking, it's called espionageI see. And to who are you going to sell all this useful information you're gleaning here?

[stryker]

I see. And to who are you going to sell all this useful information you're gleaning here?

I was thinking the Mafia, they always pay me well

[Midnight Son]

I was thinking the Mafia, they always pay me wellSee, the thing about espionage is that, as soon as your target realizes they've got a spy in their midst, they start a misinformation campaign. Then you give your contacts bad info and they fit you with a pair of cement shoes.

Though, personally, I always thought that lacked imagination. High altitude weather balloons are where it's at.

[stryker]

I already have enough information to make a small fortune, and also it's more fun to put them in a barrel and send 'em over a waterfall

[Midnight Son]

But there's always a chance of survival with that method. I did like Robert Jordan's method as well. Immobilize them. Then get a funnel and a lot of rum.

[BanjoTheClown]

I Have a Twin Brother but im pretty sure hes not in the Playground.

[Belethorien]

I have a relative in the Playground! He's a grandpa too! :smalltongue: Any guesses?

[Logic]

I have a relative in the Playground! He's a grandpa too! :smalltongue: Any guesses?

Well, the only person to admit to being a grandpa in the playground is Zeb.

But I am sure plenty don't want to fess up about it, so there could be plenty.

[Zeb The Troll]

Indeed, it's me. I honestly don't think there are that many that are in a position to be grandparents. I'm on the upper end of the age scale of regular posters and I started really young. (I'm 35, she's 18. We both have August AFONALs*.)

*Annual Flaunting Of Numbers And Lewts for those not up on the new lingo sponsored in the birthdays thread.

[darkblade]

I have a sister in the playground and some people in the Town boards know who she is.

[PirateMonk]

I have a relative in the playground. Hardly ever posts. Not saying who or how (s)he's related to me, though. Actually, Magtok might be able to figure out who, depending on several factors.

Had to be done (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0s5Kn9QXtU)

...You know, Zeus's method is SO much less complicated...

[Aramil Liadon]

None, I hope. That would just be creepy. Or something. Because... it would.

[J_Muller]

I know who Darkblade's sister is, but then again it's not exactly a secret.

As for me, I have a younger brother who comes on occaisonally.

[Insert Name Here]

Hmm... Most of the people I know closely read oots (except mom, who keeps fairly updated through me). However, none of them are in the playground. Although, say, if my godfather (I'm pretty sure he's the avatar of, if not simply, sarcasm itself.) were to point out he was on the forums (he'd know who I was if he read this, I think), I'd have to go to the mods to request this account for termination :smalleek:.

[Em Blackleaf]

My little sister lurks now and then and reads OotS almost as zealously as I do. But I'll be damned if I knew her screen name.:smallredface:

How dare you curse!

Krimm is my Brother, who introduced me to GitP.

:smallbiggrin:

[Bardic Bunny]

I have no close relatives (that I know of) on the boards - though I do have quite a few real-life friends here that are nearly family...

~PS

He does now!-- I have been formerly known as "Mrs. Sushi." Together we've been called "The Bunguin." Odd, but true!

[Zeb The Troll]

He does now!-- I have been formerly known as "Mrs. Sushi." Together we've been called "The Bunguin." Odd, but true!Mrs. Sushi! So glad you decided to see you here. Maybe see you in Hippie's Camp?

[EmeraldRose]

Well, I think my brothers are going to be posting again.

I also found out I have a niece who's been lurking, but doesn't have a login yet. (I'll have to work on her...:smallamused: )

[I'm da Rogue!]

I feel so lonely in the playground :smalleek:

Join with me, I am the only person I know in real life who peruses these forums.

[Skippy]

Me too, I tried introducing a few friends but none of them seemed to be convinced... And then I realized it was a bad idea if someone read some certain posts I've written here...

[Castaras]

All my RL friends at school see me browsing the forums when I'm "supposed" to be working.

"Yes miss, of course I'm working miss, that 'Giant in the Playground' thing in the start bar is part of the work, even though you told us to go on only one website..."

But anyway, I go on them alot, and the one person who's shown interest doesn't like computers. And everyone else just assumes its some weird, geeky thing that they won't be able to get, and would mean that their "coolness" rating would go down if they "lowered themselves" to go on.

...They don't know what they're missing. :smalltongue:

So I'm doomed to have only my family that I introduce to the forums. :smallsigh: :smallamused:

I'm the exact opposite. None of my family is on the forum, but I have one definite RL friend here. Hope she doesn't mind as she hasn't posted yet but, harlequin-vamp is my RL friend in the playground. I might have a few others as well. Including the one who introduced me in the first place.

[Hoggy]

I'ma all alone. No family, no friends. Apart from those I've made, I hope.

[Exachix]

Heh.

My freinds all think I'm weird.
and I'll be damned if my family gets on.

I did try to get one freind interested, but he said he'd get lost...

didn't stop me. =).

But I know lots of people IRL that are on this forum!..
...all the people that came to the meetup... does that count.

Wait... Alot of my freinds are on the forum... We're all freinds! Horray! =P.

[I'm da Rogue!]

So I see there are a lot of lonely ppl here. Let's make an "alone in the playground" team! We're so hopeless

[Sisqui]

I have a husband in the playground. But, alas, he is a lurker. I think he has something like 2 posts in the last year. But he reads the forums a lot.......

[Bardic Bunny]

Mrs. Sushi! So glad you decided to see you here. Maybe see you in Hippie's Camp?

Thank you Zeb, its good to 'see' you too. I figured that since I'd been to a GitP meet-up that it'd make more sense for me to actually be in the forum...so here I am!

See me in Hippie's camp?...wha? don't follow ya, sorry! :smallconfused:

[EmeraldRose]

I have a husband in the playground. But, alas, he is a lurker. I think he has something like 2 posts in the last year. But he reads the forums a lot.......

My husband-itp was a lurker, but I got him addicted to WW games in SMBGs, and now he's online all the time! :smallamused: :smallbiggrin:

You should try it! :smallwink:

[Sisqui]

My husband-itp was a lurker, but I got him addicted to WW games in SMBGs, and now he's online all the time! :smallamused: :smallbiggrin:

You should try it! :smallwink:

I try to get him in on some of the good debates we get going in here, but he says he has to listen to me say stuff like that in RL. Besides, according to him, I've already said what he'd say, so why should he bother? Oh, well.....

[KoDT69]

I don't have any relatives here. I tried to get my wife and stepson into it but neither one was really interested :smallconfused:

I do have a question though to all of you posting that are saying "I have a relative but I'm not telling who", what is the point in that? I thought the point of thi thread would be to share exactly that type of info.

*Waits anxiously for someone to quote the opening post where the OP says it don't matter if you tell...* :smallsigh:

[ForzaFiori]

i have a lurker sister itp. she registered but hasn't posted yet. though she reads oots.

[vanson2feet]

im the son of paladinfreak's dads best friend in highschool, there still best friends and im visiting them right now, they got me started on ots and the forums:smallsmile:

[Mr_Saturn]

Holy Cow Batman! Thread necromancy!

But it's more acceptable since you're so randomly related to paladinfreak. But still! :smalltongue:

[Darkcomet]

This thread makes me feel alone. ;(
