Title: Flash Mobs
Post by: Uximadesk on March 26, 2009, 07:10:27 PM
Has anyone been in one?

I once went to a pillow fight mob, it was loads of fun, but the funnest thing to do is to just scatter after it is over.

Then I was in a Ninja Mob, which is by far the best one I have participated in, we start to pretend fighting like ninjas until everyone is "dead", then we just go.

Does an SCA war count?

Those are fun.

Flash Mobs are large groups of people that organize themselves through every medium at hand (which can go from social sites, cell phone messages and oral transmision) to do some kind of public manifestation. Some are with a meaning and purpose in mind, but others are just to cause a massive WTF momment on those who happen to be there.

Where's "up here", just out of curiosity?  You aren't in VA, are you?

Yus.

VA BCH. And it is a pain to find the place where they meet.

Wow.  I throw out a few bits of D&D, and you assume you and I are alike in every way possible?

Fail.

I don't even know what the hell you're talking about.  Don't ask me about SCA.

But the two of you live in the same damn town, don't you?
Title: Re: Flash Mobs
Post by: Hi no Seijin on March 27, 2009, 05:04:28 PM
That doesn't mean I hang out with him.
Title: Re: Flash Mobs
Post by: darkphantomime on March 27, 2009, 05:11:08 PM
But it means you COULD hang out with him.

No need to be so antisocial.

Just drop it.

Calm down, please, HnS.  You're obviously stressed about this topic, why not take it to PM's?

It's a heck of a long drive, but come chill at Ponte Alto.  We're cool and stuff.

If You're there I bet you are cool.

I really wish I got to participate in bigger battles than just the smalltime things our group in GA did.

Sorry, but I hate it when people assume I know stuff I don't, and I hate it when JQ thinks he knows what is best for me.

I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with being a little social.

I know that I've suffered because I haven't been (able to be) social.

Post by: Hi no Seijin on March 29, 2009, 06:00:18 AM
Oh, yeah, I don't hang out with one person on the Internet who happens to live in the same city I do, so I must be antisocial.
Title: Re: Flash Mobs
Post by: darkphantomime on March 29, 2009, 07:31:39 AM
Well... You certainly do seem a little anti-social/angry this morning.
Title: Re: Flash Mobs
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on March 29, 2009, 09:07:56 AM
Lolz, I'm just laughing at this so hard.
Title: Re: Flash Mobs

I'm locking this topic until the two of you can get along.

Please do not unlock it.

Can we open this topic back up now?
