You! (A picture/Media thread) Thread 30: Roman Numerals? What Roman Numerals?

Not sure if this is "people in Scotland can't park", or "rich people in Scotland park like asshats". >.>

Considering two of the pictures were taken in Sheffield, which is decidedly NOT in Scotland, it's just a few examples of people parking like asshats.

[noparlpf]

Well, that's what I meant to say, but was feeling a bit generous towards the rest of the world.

However, I do have proof of the statement that people can't park:

Local supermarket in Largs, Scotland:


McDonald's parking in Sheffield on a Saturday morning:


Saturday night at a hotel in Sheffield the same day as the above picture (note that he's blocking two disabled parking spaces):


PS. The owner of the Porsche actually saw me taking the picture, and stood by, letting me do it after I complimented him on having a 'really nice car'.
And he was very much NOT disabled.

I don't think that's a "can't park" so much as a "my car is too expensive to leave out in public without worrying it'll get broken, so I'll just be a huge ass and take up two spaces so there's extra space instead of going for practicality".
Anyway, let me find that picture...
...or several. I only saw one in person.

I feel bad for this guy, he didn't deserve this:

Ignoring the added logo, this was probably deliberate--he's blocking multiple other spots. (Happened to my mother last week; a truck parked across an entire row of parking spots and trapped her in.)

I'm quite happy with them! The Wayfinder Experience produces not just the greatest community of people and adventures I've ever had, but also the best photos.

A lady who lives far too far away from me for my liking. Which is to say, about 2500 miles. She isn't on the forums, which is simultaneously unfortunate, but she also doesn't need the extra distraction, incredibly busy as both of us keep ourselves with creative projects and academic work!

I've heard of Wayfinder, where is it?

And, it's been a few posts since anyone put up a picture so here's a few of the Ogunquit/Wells Maine area:

Diving in the jetty for fishing tackle (the shirtless one next to me is also a forum member but I can't remember his username)
Curled up in towels to hide from the cold rain. Believe it or not there are actually three or four people in this picture.

When I drove my brother to his camp it was somewhere in the middle of NY, sort of near Kingston I think.

Looks nice. It's so bloody hot here, and humid, I'm practically swimming anyway. But not in a nice way.

Wups. :b

My brother is in Wayfinder. Is there more than one Wayfinder thing? We're in NY.

I've heard of Wayfinder, where is it?

Just the one! It's an organization that runs camps/other events, it is live action roleplay, but tends to be much more improv theater and character, rather than more heavily systematized like others. Also, one-off original stories and setups submitted and picked from a whole range of games, rather than one ongoing or generic setup. (Those first two photos were from Apocalypse camp this summer, which was a trilogy of games, the first a summit meeting about coming doom, the second a small group of survivors in a bunker, the third rebuilding 200 years later.)

It's all in upstate New York. A range of overnight summer camps run at the Ashokan Field Campus (campers ages 12-20, roughly), and summer day camps at a couple of other places for 8-12 year old kids mostly. There is also capture the flag with swords going on in a few places I think, and one-day events that are run every couple of months.

The whole thing is amazing beyond what I can describe, and I like to think of myself as a very eloquent person, so that's saying something. Best place I've ever been. Most of my good photos are from there, and usually are in crazy costuming, so I don't have a lot of reasonable photos of me!

A couple years back, myself as Sinbad, who was basically just Arabian High Fantasy Captain Jack Harkness. It was GREAT.

Who's your brother? If it was an overnight you were taking him to, then I've almost definitely met him.

You're great.

Why thank you! I do my best.

Ashokan, that's the one. Yeah, my brother's been to several.
My brother's name:

He's Zach P-K. Heavy for his size, sideburns because he doesn't shave, dark hair.
(Looks like that name abbreviation doesn't yield any identifying information on Google's first page or so, so I'm okay.)

I used to be part of a boffing club at my old school. We didn't LARP, but we played things like capture the flag with weapons, among others. (I've won a few times minus a leg; very few things have made me more proud than outrunning everyone else with me on just the one leg.)

[Icewalker]

Oh man, really? Hell yeah I know him, your brother is awesome. That's super fantastic. I love the internet.

No contest.

Kneenibble suffering an erudite heart attack in 3... 2...

Sinbad still ranks among favorite characters I've played, which is picked out of a fairly long list at this point. Over the course of game, I flirted (or more) with something like five women, a man, and a djinn. It was great.

That's a pretty colour.

My first instinct was 'Ooh, is there a playgrounder with a cat themed name?'
But I don't know how far I'd have to go to find a pic of warkitty to swap out and say 'fixed that for you'.
