Hey, my WoW toons aren't chicks either.

Ross is not roleplaying, he really is gay.

I'd make a comment about how Caoh's fantasies shouldn't really enter into this conversation, but his mad post-editing skillz will just attempt to make me look like a rabid polesmoker.  I give up.  :P

Picking Up Crazy Chicks: 58%

That is true. But I must say I've shown considerable restraint in picking up crazy chicks in-game lately.

It doesn't take much to make you look like that Ross.

All I can come up with is "takes one to know one", I must be tired today.

I'm very disapointed in you Ross.   I expect something better tomorrow.

I'm very disappointed in some of your competition scores. I thought this was a hardcore PvP guild?

I think part of it comes from the phrasing of the questions.  I mean, I don't have to necessarily come out on the winning end of a fight to enjoy the experience, but if the question says "WTFPWNing someone is the ultimate measuring stick by which you judge your online experience" then I probably won't rank it really high.  That's just me though.  

Tydd:  "It doesn't take much to make you look like that Ross."  

You're right.  Just your copy of Photoshop that you keep right near your bottle of D00d L00b so you can, uh, toast your own artistic accomplishments.  I'm not sure I want to know how long it takes you to edit me into a vid-cap from "Where the Girls Aren't", but if that's what floats your boat, then by all means, edit away!

it was a joke ross

You do have a point about the test being flawed though. The questions are too transparent and it's really easy to manipulate the results into whatever you want them to be.

Much better Ross.   Please do not let this happen again.

Some of the questions don't accurately measure the metric though. Like Ross says there were a few in there about griefing -- something like "I enjoy ruining someone else's game experience" -- that have nothing to do with competitiveness, but probably factor into that measurement.

It's just entertainment, like statistics on CNN. However, I will require teamwork scores be in the 75% range by Q2 or  I'm cancelling the company picnic this summer.

Ross will bring the Sausage to the picnic.  He likes Sausage.

Damn, I've got some work to do then:
