I don't: drink, smoke, screw, have fun in any way, shape or form, listen to Radiohead, care about their ****ing car-related conversations, get out enough.

I do: drop quotes from literature, poems and obscure songs into conversation at every opportunity, and then when one or two people realise I have done so, I smirk, and carry on talking so as to make it seem like nothing extraordinary; laugh at jokes that nobody else finds amusing; laugh at them when they don't get it; get 200+ scores on "Cascade" on a regular basis, then pass it off modestly, use a 2d black and white line drawn androgenous character in a muumuu as a mouthpiece for any meaningless buzzwords and pseudo-political/philosophical bullcrap that enters my head; rule.

No no, only at alliances, not the game itself. Lemmy got me into it and it's very fun. It's a free online browser based game with almost 5000 players. It's space based like BNT, but much better. There's far more options and variety.

Important links:
Main page
Forum
Help Files
Maddox' Site

I recommend reading the help files first as they help explain the basics of the game. Madox's site contains very useful information like the stations list and ship calculator.

Edit: the info on TDZK's chat server is on the first Help Files page and you can stop by #cgn (see CGN for connection details) where you can find Lemmy and myself. Either place will have people to answer questions.

According to myself: Nothing, I wish everyone was like me! I watch football! I listen to chart music! I even read heat magazine (celebrity gossip rag for 20-something girls)!

According to everyone else: Obfuscationist tastes, ideologies and ideals, overuse of grandiloquent language, a tendency to overanalyse everything, arrogance, haughtiness and a cruel leaning towards making gross simplifications just to score points in discussions.

Excuse me while I

I have known a place full of people wearing Ralph Lauren and the like (I knew it for most of my life actually). The most shallow and snobbish place I've ever seen. Ralph Lauren is a symbol of shallowness and snobbishness in my book, I hardly imagine a leftist wearing this uniform of evil.

Hey, maybe where you live only society's crap wears it. I just like their polos. They are sober, without any annoying tags or similar things, and they fit perfectly. Nowadays I just hate wearing a regular t-shirt now unless it's under a shirt or something else. On top of that, they look nice!


My daddy is pretty rich yeah, but we're not snobs (I for one, am absolutely not snobbish)

Also, don't discriminate people wearing different clothes!! I too loathe some sorts of clothing, such as baggy pants etc cos ya just look gay in it, instead of looking cool. But still clothes don't influence your political preference. Not in my case anyway as I'm far from being an old grumpy conservative jerk that wants to ban violent computer games but at the same time advocates free use of rifles, shotguns and other army weaponry at home! (the hypocricy!)

Hmmm... I'm not that elitist. I wear jeans and t-shirt most of the time... eat fast food (and love it )... am fairly slobbish at times.

Sometimes though I do speak of higher end stuff... like political philosophy, which is probably seen as elitist, at least in the US.

To look elitist, I play Elite 3 and am looking forward to Elite 4. Best action games ever.

Anyone who thinks my behaviour elitist apart from that has never met me.

I come across as a bombastic bs'er in my posts but that's just an escape from reality for me.

Well, I like coffee, beer, I love fast foods and sodas (Popeyes!), small little neighborhood places.

But:

Never drink mass market American beer, like French cheeses, won;t listen to country, square dance, and I won;t do much that is considered hip and stylish.

I also like complicated arguments.

but i don;t have to try to look like an elitist..I am one, and proud of it!
