Say something random about the above poster

[Vinca]

Am I being a dick somehow?
Sorry, I get overconfident and pompous then under confident and paranoid.

I’m confused

Is this a post that is in keeping with the game that is being played in this thread e.g. you are saying something random about the above poster?

or

is it a response to my previous post (post no.98)?

or

something else?

It was a genuine question, i often don't realise when i am being patronizing, condescending or something like that. I have uber low self esteem so am prone to over compensate and rub people up the wrong way. I just wanted you to know that i was sorry if I came across that way and to ask for some genuine feedback as It is something I am trying to overcome.

Q suspects something is a little off when his scheming darling tries to smother him with a mound of marshmallow marionettes. Munching through the marshmallow morass provides mastication munificent for his mandibles.
Nevertheless, he lives a moderately normal life among other humans, relatively speaking.

By and by, he bumps into the devilishly wide-eyed, wide-hipped siren, Alienne , and his life finally begins to make sense.

However, Alienne proves to be less than grateful . She has an unhealthy obsession with sign language. Her horrible fixation on gesture based communication is an unpleasantly unnecessary obsession.

Q soon learns that Alienne has taken an oath never to tickle a human being. The vow is egregious. Q's egret suffers pangs of regret, unable to offer solace in the form of plumes. The egret's name, his monicker, is Plutarch. His mate is Monica. Q gathers the feathers in a sort of defiant, though deferential, nod to normality.

Despite Alienne's sharp fangs, ragged greasy fur, and liquid fabric softener, Q finds himself falling for the siren. Only fate will decide whether she kills or protects him, executes or ensures him. Destiny will decide.
When Q's sole sweetheart is injured in a pointillist accident. Q realizes so much is at risk.

The paint remover reveals... Who? Alienne. The sweetheart. Can it be? His long lost cousin?
Alieene's bared arm bears the same birthmark that Q has hidden since a bairn. And she has started spelling her first name differently, now that it is plain that Alieene/Alienne/the sweetheart and Q share the same surname....Uiop.

Destiny will decide their fate.

Watch out for eating popcorn on edge of seat.
Who knows who was sitting there last, doing who knows what.

Maybe get yourself your own trough of corn...

Hmmm...is this a real post for the game?
Or a game about what's real?
I get self conscious sometimes about the number of times I see myself as last
poster in the Games section.

OK...The way I will decide, for myself, whether a post is IRL in this thread is:
If the post refers to self/uses the pronoun 'I'.
The Say Something Random About the Above Poster Thread
is...the place where people say random stuff about other people.

I have uber low self esteem so am prone to over compensate and rub people up the wrong way. I just wanted you to know that i was sorry if I came across that way and to ask for some genuine feedback as It is something I am trying to overcome.

I hadn't in any way thought that you were being a d***, and i didn't feel rubbed up the wrong way or that you were being patronizing, condescending or anything like that. I am sorry if I said anything that gave the impression that I thought that.

I've tried to break down my thinking process in order to explain what I was thinking.

Sometimes I instantly understand the humour being used in humorous posts and other times I find it difficult to judge the tone of a post and have to try and figure it out.

ha, I had to look that up.
very clever lol

With this post, I wasn't sure if you had literally had to look it up, or if the expression 'I had to look that up' was being used in a humorous way.

When I read 'very clever' I thought you must be being humorous as I didn't think that my post was at all clever compared with many of the other posts in this thread. (I am not very confident in my ability to express myself through words, I frequently have to look up spellings and the meanings of words that I use as I am not entirely sure of their precise meaning.)

I thought I would continue the humour with my next post by saying that it had taken all of my brain power to come up with that, playing on the contrast between the simple nature of my original post and vast amount of power for thinking that a brain has.

It took all me brain power to come up with that (sarcasm). lol

I wasn’t quite sure how to convey the humour so thought that by adding sarcasm in brackets it would let readers know that I was making a joke. I’m not entirely sure if sarcasm is the correct term to describe the type of humour I was using as I have difficulty learning the precise meaning of terms and often only have a ‘feel’ for what a term such as sarcasm means. I looked up the definition of sarcasm, but didn't really understand it. Then I stuck an 'lol' on the end to try and show I was being light hearted and jokey.

His Surname is 'uiop'.

I love this remark.
It is factual and concise.
I think the spare/modest statement is classically humorous.

Coincidence: Last night I was thinking that I had not heard anyone say
'qwertyuiop' in a long time. I was glad to see it done.

I agree


Qwerty is building 'humour bombs' which when dropped from his laughter powered planes, will induce fits of laughter for a 4mile radius.

You are fine. In this thread, I think almost anything is OK.
I still have no idea what the significance of 'uoip' is.
Edit: got it!

I'm not sure sarcasm is the right word as I think it is generally saying the obvious opposite of what you mean to imply the other party is being a dork. But in this case its aimed at yourself, and you're not being a dork.
As much as people hate it, another way might have been to negate it at the end. ie:
It took all my brain power – NOT!
