Hah, oh hell, I just don't see myself doing that, Gatekeeper.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Everybody in the contest should have seen the look on the girls face that I was with the night of the 4th when I told her the morning of the fifth "sorry (insert name), I had a hellava time last night carousing and letting you thank me for being a veteran, but I can't hook up this morning because Im in a non sex contest with users on a forum based on an OCD level series of books about a fantasy land, and DarkWatch will put me on the bad list." There was a long long pause, as she stared blankly at me, while I wondered what Briar King and others demons of the forums would say. I paid for her cab, and as she left she informed me that "you don't need to put so much effort into blowing me off" . Good 4th of July.
If it was at your place (tsk, always play away games with random sport sex), then you should have logged on and shown her.
You would not have seen her for dust, but at least she would have believed you. Same net effect, slightly nicer self-esteem for both parties. Unless she has friends you want to bang and not have them find out (beforehand) that you are a geek.

Thats actually good advice. But clearly I wasnt taking the whole situation with the seriousness that others were. And, thats the point.

I dunno, turning down freely-offered sex does seem like you're taking this competition pretty damn seriously...

If I was offered sex I would lose this competition so fast it'd break the soundbarrier!

TheChive is a picture site I believe, and I also believe it has a hawt girls section, which is clearly where Gothos was spending his time.

Is it just me or does The Chive sound like some horrible venereal disease?

Actually, it is.
The cure involves a forceps, a white hot needle, the freshly drained blood of three kittens, and a small piece of wood shaped like an elephant......
err, I mean, no, it's just you, you filthy pervert!

Over the weekend I saw some chump literally try that line. I was on the sidewalk downtown waiting for the light to change with two good looking girls next to me. This asshole in his little sports car drove up and asked if either wanted to have sex that night. I instantly had a great opportunity to make fun of him but it wasn't until the next block down that I finally worded it right. "Hey, that's a good one. Is that the line that got your mother knocked up?"
I need a George Costanza moment to set that up again.
