Re: Gamer euphemisms
That's a wonderfully vague warning. Is your real name similar? Do you play, or play with, impulsive characters?
The possibilities are endless.

My real name isn't a secret, I don't publish under a pseudonym or anything. I was also called "Pretty Boy" presumably for the reasons that seven foot men are called "Tiny". And certain clever colleagues of mine discovered that "Preeeetttteee Booooy JENK-ins" has the same cadence as Leeroy's infamous battlecry. Which, like Leeroy, I found it best to simply own. I too, at least, ain't chicken. Quote:

Re: Gamer euphemisms
I guess he posted while I was writing. So yeah, directed at you, Sir Pudding.
I'm horrible with names, so if someone doesn't use it as their tag, I will forget it.

Re: Gamer euphemisms
The "official" recording has Jenkins saying something more suggestive of race stereotyping, and doesn't seem to be very popular in my circles.

When asked to run boring errands, I often comment that "If I received 1 EXP for every time I've ran this errand, I'd be level 5".

"I'm admiring the wall." Said after failing a Spot check.
"Pointy end goes in enemy." The 'speech' given by the tactician for his mid-combat inspiration attempt.

Re: Gamer euphemisms
"Despite all your precautions..." Said by a GM when firmly forbidding the players to derail his plot.
"Honest Townsman": Thief. "Captain Oblivious": Any character (not just a superhero but that's where it started) who cannot make a Perception roll to save his life.

Re: Gamer euphemisms
"Sure, you think that:" my standard response to player questions about unconfirmed theories, such as "hey, we think that the Dean is a vampire?" It's not really an answer to the implied question.
