    Seriously, did you see the crowd at the 40K event. all the friends of the final 5 players all were 22 year old computer geeks and i mean freaking Geeeeks. the players did not look to nerdy but man the crowd was rough.

    how we going to attract any new players to the game with that showing.

    (that being said i am an internet nerd obv)

    What exactly qualifies someone as a "geek" or "nerd"?

    I mean, I may very well qualify as a "nerd" myself, and I'm not ashamed of it by any means, I'm just always curious what someone means when they make an ignorant sounding post such as this one.

    And by ignorant, I'm referring partially to categorizing someone's social status based on how they laugh, which has nothing to do with it.

    Do you know what it is like to have enough money to not worry about your appearance and still hit dimes whenever you want in Vegas? NO?

    They do.
