In a recent blog post on the McCain website, Obama supporters are referred to as the “Dungeons and Dragons Crowd”, and it is implied that they are not mighty enough to fight for their country, and that they live in their mom’s basements.
While I suspect he is referring to Redditors, (myself included), I think that statement is misguided. Dungeons and Dragons folk are crafty, many of us are also really nerdy martial artists (I practice Kendo and Kenjitsu), and I don’t live in my mother’s basement. I surpasses the average Dungeons and Dragons player in nerdinedss, as my friends and I were dissatisfied with the DND combat and magic system, we switched to a more loose system (GURPS, by Steve Jackson Games), and created our own combat and magic system.
The guy that spearheaded that very very nerdy movement, my friend Stuart, is now a staff sergeant in the US Army, Served in Iraq and other secret locations, and has a security clearance higher than the President. So, in a word, suck it, McCain. Suck it dry. (That’s several words, I am aware. You suck it too.)
I attack the DARKNESS!
