Getting to know the LPGS
Since none of my fraternal comrades in the LPGS bloc have taken the initiative to identify themselves or their compatriots, the task clearly falls to me. Why? Certainly not because I believe anyone outside the group will read this. Being that I am simply too niggardly to register a domain name to aleviate this problem (and yes, I am so confident that this blog will never be seen by more than three people, that I use the word "Niggardly" without hesitation)
the only reason I can come up with for doing so is that I have absolutely nothing better to do with myself at this time.
First, I feel I should identify the group as a whole. LPGS stands for "Lets Play Games Society"
the newest and possibly strangest Fraternal order\Secret Society\New Age Religion\Political Movement\Prey of Nerds to hit the United States underground. We stand at the vanguard of
humanities salvation, when we're not wasting time with silly games, giving ourselves cancer with cigarettes, and endearing ourselves to George Foreman with Lean Mean Burgers.
One out of every Two LPGS members self-identify as Communists, so perhaps we will find ourselves fortunate enough to be declared a subversive organization.
I, Groucho Marxist, do not feel I can fairly and objectivly give an accurate picture of the kind of person I am. There are, as I see it, three schools of thought within the group as to what role I play therin. The two extremes of these are that I don't think highly enough of myself, and conversely, that I am an overstuffed Pseudo-intellectual who needs to perform various indecent acts involving a birdcage, and the words HORSE SHIT. The third opinion seems to be that I am an off-the wall radical and militant who people are right to fear. I honestly don't know which of these I prefer.
Kit Foxboy, Eternal President and guiding light of the LPGS. Kit is among the few leaders in history who has been forced into the position by his own popularity, and whose authority is protected not by terror, but by the sheer incompetence of his potential usurpers. Kit tolerates almost all forms of dissent, protecting the individuals right to choose. In grattitude for this freedom, we serve him in various positions in the LPGS Buereacracy.
Commissar Crunch, Subcommandante of the LPGS. Comrade Crunch has certainly earned his title as head mediator and disciplinarian of our little club. Whenever tension rises to the surface, it is the commissar who straightens out the mess. Conducting himself in the manner of a true elder statesman, Commissar Crunch will not hesitate to act as the sword and shield of our great revolution, in order to protect the innocent, and strike down the wicked. When he hasn't allied himself with the below stated member into a dread cartel of fear and chaos
One Member, our morale officer, has neglected to provide or has been unable to accquire, a pseudonym. Formerly known as dirty skeptic (a fitting name if there ever was one), he has recently adopted the title of "Socially akward fat guy". In the interest of impartiality, I will alternate between Dirty Skeptic and the acronym SAFG until I am informed of or stumble across a replacement. Dirty Skeptic promotes morale within the group, but is just as capable of sowing discontent and chaos throughout a meeting. He lives to show people the folly of their ways.
For instance, if you adopt a political position, he will often adopt its opposite. The best example of this contrast is the short-lived Communist-Objectivist debates of late 2008. If you(not you personally) say that you abhor the use of racially insensitive words, SAFG will spout every such remark in the english language, and will end up holding the moral high ground, while you look like a Language fascist. And he can do this because A:He has the ability to identify himself as a member of one of the history's most downtrodden and persecuted minority groups and B:Because it can be incredibly hard not to laugh at something Dirty Skeptic says. Especially when its something he should have never even thought of .
The Chairman, whose title needs no further elaboration, serves the LPGS as a sort of Guru.
The voice of reason and levelheadedness, His Holiness carries himself with the modesty of Ghandi, the vision of Mao Tse-Tung and the wisdom of Charlie Chan. The Chairman long ago discovered the secret to happiness and inner peace. And even though he says its just tobacco, we all know the truth.
Where the Chairman is calm and collected, Shock Trooper, Bear-Slayer,Bear-Hunter,Bear-Master, Captain Alaska and whatever other nicknames he has accquired during his time here, is impulsive and hot-tempered. But as the Chairman himself might say, Opposing forces in nature create balance and harmony, man. Bear Trooper will not hesitate to assert himself, and to establish whatever it is that he wishes to do beyond a shadow of a doubt. Yin and Yang, Mao and Palin and Peking and Wisilla, The Balance of nature is restored and order reigns throughout the realm. When they aren't bickering. But only one side is bickering. So the only philosophical question here is really "What is the sound of one man bitching".
