But yeah there's no point in avoiding staff members. If any person believes that they have higher authority or importance over someone simply because they are a staff member on a Pokémon forum, there is something distinctly wrong with their brain. PC staff are just people with regular jobs and lives who escape boredom by attempting to enjoy a forum and improve other people's enjoyment on it also.

I saw a letter on the website for the Church of Satan written by one of their higher priests, explaining that "if you're joining the church to become a priest, you're a ****ing *******".
What he means is that if you're concerned about the elevation for its own sake you ought not be joining to begin with... which struck a nerve in me then. I really like the idea behind the Church of Satan.

As far as #thepokecommunity goes, I'm active on another network for ROM hacking and have SystemNet logged in because lurking in #bulbagarden is a lot of fun, and with that I might as well idle in #tpc. I like PC, after all. :P

Twiggy, enjoy South Korea! I'm sure it'll be a lot more fun for you than it was for my mother in '99...



Okay, apparently I only half-skimmed this thread or something. I want to talk a bit more.

I've seen Geoff, and as tall as he is he's not something to be scared of. And if you know him you'd know he's not really that type to be afraid of at all either way. :b

As I've spent more and more time on the internet I've noticed a lot of people have a really bizarre automatic respect for authority, and given the culture in some places I've lived it may not just be limited to online means. Basic personal respect is something you give to everyone until they relinquish it with poor behaviour - anything more than that is earned and giving more respect to some than others for arbitrary reasons is setting the whole system you're part of up to fail. Then you get dickheads in charge who have their heads up their asses, and regular members who would do their job better than them but didn't play along, and... it's not pretty. I remember exactly that in my Army Junior ROTC regiment, and it was just awful. Everyone worth anything left the program by junior year and with that you're left to select leaders from a pool of a bunch of power players who do ROTC for pretty rank and ribbons and shoulder cords and other menial crap that wasn't what ROTC was made for.

You must be pretty tall then. :P

I remember he has a few inches on me and I'm 6' even... pictures don't lend him to be scary though, you're right about that.

Her December 21st, 2014 12:51 PM

Whoa, that's pretty cool. I've always been a little jelly of those taller than me, but then again I can be really intimidating so maybe it's for the best I'm not taller lol

Fun-sized!


I actually don't know how tall I am right now... probably around 1.86m? Maybe? (6.1ft)

Her December 21st, 2014 1:39 PM

i don't recall a time where i wasn't the tallest out of my year or friend group or w/e
and once i hit 13 i was taller than most adults lmao.....

£ December 21st, 2014 1:48 PM

I'm perfectly fine with being 9 inches further away from hitting my head on all kinds of things than you, Aphrodite. :)

The door frames in my house are like 6'5-6'6 so I can't imagine it'd be enjoyable to have to duck a little each time I go into a different room; not to mention going down the stairs in my house where the ceiling is low enough for even me to catch my head on a bad day!

Poki December 21st, 2014 2:17 PM

Dammit, you giants. I'm only 5'1"/154cm.

Poki December 21st, 2014 2:33 PM

Too late, chico.

I'm so bad at maths I can't even recall my own height... but I know that I'm a short person that's for sure.

Oryx December 21st, 2014 2:48 PM

I'm kinda tall-ish I guess, 5'8", but it doesn't bother me.

maccrash December 21st, 2014 3:15 PM

I'm eternally doomed to being in the 5'7-5'8 range. I've occupied this space for the past two years. I don't HATE it.

I'd want to be like that. I do like being short sometimes, but in some situations it would be easier to be taller.

Sir Codin December 21st, 2014 4:19 PM

My height is 6'3".

My weight is...too heavy and not getting thin fast enough.

TRIFORCE89 December 21st, 2014 5:30 PM

I am 5'10". Growing up, I was taller that others. Now, as an adult, I'm not. And two jobs now where there are some co-workers that tower over me :(

Alexander Nicholi December 21st, 2014 6:02 PM

I like being 6', but being just over 6' would be perfect for me. 6'1" to 6'3" would be great.

CarefulWetPaint December 21st, 2014 6:37 PM

You guys are huge! Im only like 6'1'' or something like that.

Judge Mandolore Shepard December 21st, 2014 7:27 PM

I admit that I hate being short. I am only 5 foot 4 inches in height. There are times I wish I was taller.

Who knows, you might get taller soon, Judge. And speaking of tall, I, being about 188 cm (approximately), sometimes have to avoid some big ceilings (in case of one of them in parking area) to avoid getting hurt. Being tall is hard sometimes, but I don't mind.

Alexander Nicholi December 21st, 2014 7:58 PM

It seems the boys here prefer being tall while the girls prefer being short. Thankfully a good number of people are happy with their height... :P


Also, I'm apparently having to put far more amperage into my earbuds than usual to get them to sound normal... maybe they're degrading. I think it's time to get a new pair.

Rainflower December 21st, 2014 9:56 PM

Seriously you guys are so tall. While me, an average Asian girl only stands at 154 cm (about 5 foot) at the age of 20. Kids below my age are 160-170ish nowadays, gosh.

Morkula December 21st, 2014 10:10 PM

I'm 6'3" and the first thing both PC members I've met (Mr Cat Dog and Mac/Cordelia) said to me upon meeting me was "Holy crap you're tall."

There was a guy in one of my classes in college that was a full head taller than me though. I'd run into him around campus sometimes and I'd have to look up to see his face. It was kind of freaky.

Also, Geoff's here, rawr scary etc.

Emboar December 21st, 2014 10:26 PM

I'm 5'10" and I'm only 13. I'm afraid that someday I will accidentally bang my head on a door frame that's a little too short.
