177 eh?

Based in IQ alone, and not taking social skills into account, I scored 153 at age 12.
High-IQ-Five!

I still have to take the Mensa test. Can't afford it. That would look damn good on a resume, though.


Same here, plus I don't even know whether there's a Mensa chapter where I live.

First of all, a disclaimer. Aside the fact that I'm a truly shitty photographer, a lot of the guys playing airsoft with us, are ex-military, public figures, security/police officers and would probably dislike being pictured. So I'm actually skipping lots of pics where these guys can be seen

Ok, while we wait for more pics, these are from another event, just the previous weekend.

The location:

The Story:

In a post-apocalyptic world a virus has killed most of the humans, and nature is reclaiming the Earth.
Two factions battle for the land. The former Military, the Raiders, and smack down in the middle, a bunch of civilians.
Electronic devices were deployed in the field, that could be found with real detectors.
Also, cash, ingots, intel.

Lots of role-play in this one.

This was meant to be as a special airsoft event, for hardened players only. Camping conditions were poor, the game was meant to go on despite whatever weather conditions. No whiners, no quitters.

What actually happened:
Rain. Rain. Rain.
Hailstone.
OMGWTF I've never seen rain like this!
Rain. Rain. Rain.

Tents got flooded. Every single item got soaking wet. I quote one of the players:
"At some point I had a river, steadily flowing under my combat vest, down my back, and through my ass-crack."
Yet we had no quitters.

I was part of the civilians, we were gathered at the run-down log cabin you saw in the pictures. It was raining through the ceilings everywhere, yet we really had it easy compared to the guys outside.

Crossing the camp, through the mud. My boots were more like clay statues so I just gave up on them.

Hanging things to dry, in one of the very brief times we got without actual rain

Fire, warmth, we can dry our boots, hell yeah!
I had to murder a huge tree to make that fire, but in the end, it was all worth it.

Checking the status of the... uhm... barbecue.
We had a chef perpetually BBQ-ing meat. There was a godly scent drifting through the whole forest, torturing the ones battling it out in the rain.

Our guys resting in the improvized dormitory

The rebels came to negotiate for some shelter, dry cigarettes and maybe some BBQ?

But they had to pay dearly for them. With push-ups in the rain and mud.

You got rain?
We got BBQ, aye?

This is how it feels to be wet

Romania. Interesting.

But that is some very, very, very fascinating stuff you guys were doing.

Near as I can tell, the test costs roughly $100, you set up an appointment with an approved shrink, and take the test with them. Once you're finished, the results get sent in, and if you're at 135 or above, you have the best retort to being called a smartass ever. "Smart? Pff. More like 'certified-genius-ass.'"

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

No idea what I am. I've honestly become dumbed down over the years. They tried to put me up 1-2 grades most of my life, until I got tired of being bullied and started slacking in junior high. After that, I half-assed everything and never gave much of a damn. I was in some stupid gifted-and-talented program in 6th grade, but I left that. Last time someone checked my IQ was in the 150s or 140s or something, hell if I know. My father was a card-carrying MENSA member, heh, one of the few things I know about him.

Is there a point to MENSA?

IQ circlejerk as far as I can tell. I did and passed the test as a kid but my parents deemed them too isolated and weird for me to actually join.

So I did drugs for a while and now I'm getting close to normal again :D

Many, many pictures

Wow, that looks like it must've been fun. What were the objectives there? Were you a neutral 3rd party in their conflict, or were you involved in the defending as well?

Ha ha! When I used to stay in my room, programming BASIC on the C64, my dad used to jokingly question why I wasn't out drinking and taking drugs like other kids.

I think he was joking anyway.

And anyway, don't be so bitter, Siquo! MENSA is a great way of figuring out how good you are at taking the sorts of tests MENSA make you take!

The woman who took the test tried to seduce me, she was 1.5 times the age of my mother, I was 13. Nothing happened, but it freaked my parents enough to not let me go back there :P

I wonder if she actually tried to seduce you or if your parents were just flipping out. I can't imagine an old woman 'seducing' a 13 year old. Not sure how that'd even work.

as he has shaved his moustache he is no longer deserving of the privileged position he enjoyed. his position is open for anyone who meets the pre-requisites: post a picture of yourself with a moustache and wearing a skirt or other form of non-pants. if multiple people apply to the position, the most awesome moustache shall be elected, awesomeness to be decided via suffrage.
