Can't the admins send out a patrol to look for him? The U-46 is happy to participate. We are currently hailing from the Mediterranean, but we can be in the Atlantic within a matter of days. |

The admins, always the admins. Why not take the lead yourself. Be a leader, not a sheep !  |

It is trully a feat to be admired .... Really something that normal people in their ignorance just wont understand... to have the intelligence or mental capacitiy -the imagination potential if you will- to consiously choose to inmerse yourself in a world of fantasy and make it as real as your own.
As Spock once said "the more complex the mind, the greater the necesity for the simplicity of play"... also reminds me of a video game console tv ad that I saw recently, where the guy has an "alter ego - personality" as a luchador-masked-pro wrestler, and says "Becuase one life is simply not enough for me"... but man, this guy is the real deal!!
It also reminds me of a group of online gamers that I read about in the book "Dungeons and Dreamers, the rise of computer game culture, from geek to chic" by Brad King and John Borland who took their gaming experience to a new level completely unexpected by the game developers when they chose to start their own play theater within the game world, using their online characters, and they succesfully managed to present "live" clasic plays of shakespeare and such. I don't want to highjack the thread so i won't go anymore into this.
Anyway... my salute to you... I think I'll make an effort to buy a really hot portable computer to try this myself sometime.
P.S.: By the way, if anyone out there thinks that doing something this hardcore is really silly, stupid or indicative of not having a life, let me say that I find more meaning and significance in what this man has done than the standard "going out to the same pub every weekend" drill that the plebes do for their whole lifes!!!
ROCK ON !!!! |
