i support this.
BTW, just because im not a historian/ww2 guru and didnt know what the meteor was, does that make me stupid fugi?
...well if the shoe fits

Maybe it was just a poor choice of words. How about instead of "stupid" we call them "un-informed"
I have played this game for 7 years, off and on. Granted, i started out in 8 player, and when that got deleted i could only play offline until late 08.
You shouldnt judge the whole community by the rambling on 200. Just like you shouldn't judge the whole community simply by those on the BBS. It's still a very flawed observation.
So your telling me that if you go to a party of 40-50 people, after an hour or so of walking around and listening to conversations you still haven't a clue as to which people you should avoid, which might be interesting, which may have things in common with you?
The BBS and the arenas are pretty much the same. I have met 20+ people from the game, and while what they looked like in some case really surprised me the type of person/personality didn't not. Sure there are some who claim to have "personas", but I think you would be surprised, as they might that in most cases what you see is what you get.
Human nature is what it is, it doesn't change very much.
