Poll: If you met an Escapist member in real life...

[cardinalwiggles]

i wouldn't talk unless they talked to me because im shy

 

[Blow_Pop]

-snip-

but i meant female......*sigh* How about Jewel Staite

This summer...Michael Moore is...
APRIL MARIE!

no no no NO! you just aren't getting it! i said jewel staite damn it! hahahaah

only if you have a death threat on him. i'm NOT fat and ugly damn you!

 

[Adragon45]

i'd just try to start a conversation

 

[Radeonx]

I'd laugh maniacally and then walk away.

 

[SimuLord]

Depends on the person. If I met someone awesome like NewClassic or RAKTheUndead or one of the gold-name staffers, that'd be one thing, but if I met someone like MaxTheReaper, I'd run away before his toxic melancholy could rub off on me.

 

[SimicShy]

What I say to most people I don't know, basically nothing

 

[MiserableOldGit]

Its a bit like when you meet some bloke you work with in a bar - I wouldnt have a problem talking to them, but I suspect the conversation would be punctuated with awkward silences and a general desire to get the fuck away as quickly as is politely possible.

 

[Fightgarr]

It I recognized the name I'd probably talk awkwardly to them for a little while. If it was someone who I actually talk to/with from here who I recognize... i.e. most people on my friends list and a few others I'd love to go for a drink (drink ranging anywhere from tea to beer).

 

[Roamin11]

I would say howdy give em a tour of my beutiful city (yes even if they lived here) and if they were close to being of age buy em a beer and shoot the shit.... Except Max from alot of his posts he would slit my throat just a soon as he laid eyes on me

 

[Tartarga]

i guess i would try to talk seriously with the person but that wont be easy considering how antisocial i am

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

There is a very wide range of possible responses, anything from "Greet joyfully!" to "Beat to death with a shoe."

Don't hit me too hard!

 

[Nexus424]

Yup it all depends. But I do like to stick with that idea that I have most likely walked past one without knowing. Living near DC and always being in that area I am sure to have passed one by. But how can you tell "one who has escaped" vs on the that hasn't (Ha ha see what I did there). But if I did it would just be some form of

Hi!
Hello!
Witty banter
Differed interests
(Insert common video game challenge here)

 

[Mr Claw Hammer]

Well I'm not very well known here so they wouldn't know who I am.

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

Don't hit me too hard!

Not too hard, and of course I will give you enough time between blows to say, "Thank you ma'am, may I have another."

 

[A random person]

Probably say hi. I'd especially like to meet Max, NeutralDrow, TheTygerfire, or sky14kemea. On the other hand, though, some of the guys here (for some reason a lot of them have Vault-tec mascot avatars) are trollish, so it really depends.

Edit: My individual reactions would be:
Max-Say hi with a gun to protect myself. If he doesn't kill me, we'd talk and I'd enjoy his wittiness.

NeutralDrow-Probably bond over our mutual liking of anime and play Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night while MST3King them.

TheTygerfire-Probably just have random talking, and if by luck some gay-bashing fundies come by (extra points if they're Westboro, even more if it's Fred Phelps) we'd mess around with them.

sky14kemea-Bask in her seemingly limitless optimism and enjoy her brighter view of things.
