Who the fuck is Skinny Jack?

[ThomCat]

A lot of people clicked on a Paypal link today and saw that they were donating to [email protected]. Well, who the fuck is Skinny Jack? I thought this fundraiser thingy was for Thomcat?
:shrug:

Um, I'm a total gamer geek. Skinny Jack is a character of mine I created as an NPC. (Gamers know what an NPC is.) I used to co-run a HUGE vampire game with 40 players in it. Players needed to know how to reach me, so I created an e-mail account named after this character.



He's a Nosferatu who knows a bit of blood-magic.

[IndianaJones]

1. I'm thinking disguise isn't important for this dude. nt.

[ThomCat]

5. No, definitely not.

:P

If you saw him, you definitely knew who he was.

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Neeeeerrrrrddddd...

:P

The name actually sounds like it'd be a character on The Mighty Boosh, for some reason.

[ThomCat]

7. I had to go look up The Mighty Boosh.

I am do media deprived. :P

[ghostsofgiants]

11. It's not quite mainstream here in North America...

But it's such a funny show. There was an episode where Howard named a coconut Milky Joe, which is why I think Skinny Jack made me think of it.

[Richard Steele]

32. The Mighty Boosh! I love that show.

Brilliant through and through! :thumbsup:

[gizmonic]

3. Ah, Mystery Solved!

:)

I can't wait to see you with your new tricked-out scooter! :)

[ThomCat]

8. I can't wait either.

I feel like a kid two days before chrismas. :7

Okay, that analogy only works if you ignore the fact that I'm jewish. :P

[ZombieNixon]

4. What does that guy need with a scooter?

:P

[ThomCat]

9. He's just a middle er.. man.

It's still for me. :P

[DarkTirade]

6. I thought nosferatu were generally hairless?

[ThomCat]

10. I thought so too. But the artist disagreed.

:P

Who am I to disagree with an artist who could draw something like that for me. :shrug:

[DarkTirade]

12. I've never played...

but I think I'd have to either be a Toreador for my artsyness and prettyness, a Gangrel because I like to chase birds, or a Malkavian.

Because Malkavians are just so glinting purple shiny!

Fish.

[ThomCat]

23. My favorite used to be Ventrue or Malkavian

But now I've gravitated towards Nosferatu and Gangrel. :)

[DarkTirade]

26. Pfff... buncha Ventrue snobs...

At least the Toreadors have a reason to be snobby. :)

[SPKrazy]

13. I wondered that myself

but

now i know

thanks for explaining it.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

17. Hi SPK

No problem!

I imagine a bunch of us have funny names on our personal e-mail accounts. That might be a cool topic for a thread sometime. :)

[Callalily]

14. Whew!

Thanks for the explanation!

Yes - blood-magic = power! Good choice of a gamer name!

:hug:

[ThomCat]

19. It's cool that there are other gamers here.

:)

[BarenakedLady]

15. Thom!

You are a gamer geek? I knew I loved you for a reason.

:hug: :loveya:

I wondered who skinnyjack was too. :crazy:

[ThomCat]

20. I used to be a hard-core gamer geek!

I had one tabletop game that I ran continually for abut 5 years, and an online game that I ran continually for 10 years. The game with Skinny Jack ran for two and a half years.

I have only recently found some people to start gaming with again. Look out! The Geek is Back! :P

[zabet]

16. Why did you post a pic

of Rabrrrr?
I keed I keed

:P

[ThomCat]

21. Oooh! I see a smack-down coming for that one!

:P

:hi:

[zabet]

25. I will go hide now.

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[Inchworm]

18. I had the feeling

That was what the deal was.

You gamer geek!

:hug:

[ThomCat]

22. I doubt very many people will be surprised.

:P
I'm sure I have a neon "Gamer Geek" sign hanging over my head somewhere.

[DarkTirade]

27. Actually I hadn't guessed...

but it probably explains why I got along with you so well. :P

[supernova]

24. You're a quart low

your ribs are showing. :P

:D

[ThomCat]

28. I'll definitely work on that after the sun goes down.

:evilgrin:

[Zodiak]

29. Gamer geeks unite!

You guys don't think I got "Zodiak Ironfist" out of thin air, do you?



10th Level Fighter/11th Level Magic-User Drow Elf. FIRST ed. AD&D, of course.

[ThomCat]

33. If you weren't so busy playing with spiders

I'd have to ask you to join me in some online gaming. :P

:hi:

[Zodiak]

39. yeah, those spiders keep me hoppin'

But I still occasionally waste a day playing Guild Wars or a good relaxing game of Master of Orion.

[ThomCat]

41. I've been meaning to get the 2nd or 3rd edition of MoO.

I loved playing the original. :7

[DS1]

30. I'd obfuscate that email in the OP

because you're about to get spider-bombed and probably freep-bombed.

If it's too late to edit, I'd ask to the mods to blow it out.

[ThomCat]

34. I thought about that.

But anyone who clicked on the fundraising link would have access to it, even if they didn't donate, so it's pretty much public information.

It's a disposable address. If I have problems I'll just kill it and create a new one. :)

[Richard Steele]

31. Fat Jack started eating at Subway™? nm

[ThomCat]

35. Hey, any diet that works.

:P

[LeftyMom]

36. You're not answering the important question here...

How did a Nos get points in Thaumaturgy?

[ThomCat]

37. By spying on the Tremere, and maybe a bit of illicit

diablerie. :P

Shhh! That's his dark secret.

[LeftyMom]

38. I should have known.

Sneaky bastards. x(

[ThomCat]

40. That's one of the reasons they're so fun.

:7

I don't play combat well in any system, and the Nosferatu are a great clan to play if you've got a non-combat character.

[LeftyMom]

42. I usually play mages for the same reason

but it's hard to get anybody to let me, because they're just terrifically broken, especially in groups with other supernatural nasties.
