I have always heard that our community has a lot of members that are of what I would call the intelligent geek factor. I was wondering if that was true so I came up with this poll. Select any of the choices that are true for you. I am not sure what overall score will dictate our geek factor yet. (yes I know these are somewhat stereotypes but I mean it as innocently as possible) Edited for my morning typing problems.

LadyRainfire -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 5:59:02 AM)
Ummmmm, what if I need to check more than one box? Like 4-5? (And it's not poetry, but I do write...) Signed, A self-acknowledged geek and bookworm! [8\|] ETA - Make that 6-7. I've been to a number of cons and cosplayed....

KCherry -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:00:18 AM)
Check as many as apply. I checked 8 of them. -.-;

parttimehotty -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:03:46 AM)
None of the above! What does that say about me??[sm=skiprope.gif]i'm not a geek!

KCherry -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:05:14 AM)
:) The smilie so made that message.

Real_Trouble -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:05:48 AM)
I am amazed there is nothing about math, physics, strategy games, video games, or computers on your list. I think you have missed a large segment of the geek community.

KCherry -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:07:40 AM)
This is true, I will have to rectify this grave injustice to the geek people!

KCherry -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:12:09 AM)
There problem solved. I came up with this poll at 2 am while I was trying to sleep last night but thinking of the forums so I guess I shouldve rethought it better this morning. :) Thanks for helping on that one.

GreedyTop -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:18:42 AM)
I only checked one...sigh

DesFIP -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:29:03 AM)
Why limit it to anime conventions. Some of us older types were going to Star Trek cons back in the 70's.

sirsholly -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:34:05 AM)
LARPed....sounds like something cured by Rolaids

willowspirit -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 6:36:51 AM)
Hey! Only poetry? Geesh, I KNOW I'm geekier than that ! Yep, I'd say I've seen a pretty large proportion of what I'd call "geeks" -- out of those into D/s or Master/slave relationships, or even the transcient role-playing of Tops and bottoms. As a "pleaser" personality, I HAD to be a good student in school! I HAD to avoid having teachers be upset with me. I craved their approval. Intellectual geekiness? Oh, yeah. I also now realize that developing a strong intellect helps insulate me from being so vulerable to all my powerful & scary feelings, trusting too deeply / too soon, and it helped/helps me hide how gullible I am from predators, --- I wish the tactic worked better there though.... I would have added other things to the survey, like reading the encyclopedia for fun, Sci-fi buffs, not fitting in with the cheerleader cliche', enjoying the thoughts of Stephen Hawking,... stuff like that.

sambamanslilgirl -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 7:18:36 AM)
only checked 4 - i do have 2 computers connected as a LAN, i write poetry (as well as manuscript almost ready for publication), i have an X-File comic or anything else with that show collection (including the limited edition Barbie dolls still in the box) and back in high school (many many moons ago), i took 4 AP classes during my senior year that i was allowed to graduate earlier than my class.

i don't know why i feel so old here all the time.

badprofessor -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 12:49:49 PM)
I checked two and debated on whether or not I should check the RPG. Technically, I have played one exactly once, but it wasn't sci-fi/fantasy based. I was an IRA terrorist on loan to the FLQ on a mission to assassinate the then Canadian Minister of the Interior, Mark McGuigan. The FLQ guy left me to be ripped to shreds by attack dogs. Okay. Yeah, I should have checked it.

servantheart -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 7:48:15 PM)
Only one for me. Not sure what to think [sm=dunno.gif]

lighthearted -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 8:13:15 PM)
only checked the last one. it's left me very [sm=runaway.gif]confused!

DesFIP -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 8:21:36 PM)
No A.P. classes but I was the first kid at my school to ever win a National Merit Scholarship. And I was vp of the Myopians, the library helpers club. Surely that counts for something?

KCherry -> RE: Geek Factor (4/18/2008 8:23:52 PM)
