A very cool moment from Today...

Post by The Ergg »

Many of you know that in RL I am an English teacher. Those of you that didn't know, rest assured, it's true.

At the beginning of each new class (we just changed semesters) I give my students the opportunity to ask me personal questions about me. This tends to build trust, and get the bs of "discovering it" out of the way.

Today I was asked my hobbies. I play video games, read, and watch movies. Sometimes all at once.

When asked what games I play I told only that it was an on-line rpg.

After class one of the new people to my class came up to me and said that I should check out this really cool world on Neverwinter Nights.

It's called Dasaria. It's very cool, Mr. C.

Folks, know this. People know us here. we are respected for being part of a very good system.

Thanks to you all, GMs and players alike!

We rock!

That's cool, Ergg.

I spent a couple of years as an assistant band director a few years back, and I used to play online with a couple of my students on Diablo II (that was before NWN, so please, go easy on me... I haven't touched that game since NWN and Dasaria came into my life). That was kinda funny. I used to tell them to stop playing and get to bed, or remind them that they should have been practicing their respective instruments instead of playing a stupid game :lol: . Just thought I'd share the related experience. I don't teach at school anymore, and I don't think any of my private lesson students are playing on Dasaria.

That rocks... If I'd get to know that one of my teachers played the same game as I, I'd make sure that I'd get them into PvP, make sure that I'd win and loot the corpse as trade for an A+ :twisted:

I honestly don't want to know who it is.

1. As Ergg is a bit less than pristine it'd be awkward.

2. If the character is someone I don't really appreciate (or have pissed off...) I don't want to be subconsciously (sp?!?) affected.

Whomever you are, tell me AFTER you graduate in June!

You know, knowingly having an English teacher on Dasaria would be pretty damn cool.

Imagine, a perfect excuse to write your Plot Essay on "Varanites in Dasaria : A Tragedy of Epic Proportions" or "The Fall of Brenna Kellin : Example of Tragedy in Literature"

Like, c'mon! So many possibities.

Damn Ergg, move to my side of the world!

Okay, Ergg is no longer allowed to read this post because the rest of us want to know:

Who has my baby brother as a teacher?

Post your name here and we will conspire to make his life a living hell!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
