A question of etiquette.

What DOES matter is that I believe in another thread you mentioned you got laid that night?  In that case, I think you won the evening.  While some gorilla fucks were too busy focused on urinating, you were securing sex!  Not only is that more awesome just because, it's also a victory on the instinct level because, hey, hypothetically it would be your seed getting passed on.

Thread over.  EoC wins.

Wow I didn't realies there was this much strategy involved!

At this point after throwing down a Magic or Trap card in the defensive position, you are allowed to take 4 steps to the left and scream Peeing Contest.

Enki's suggestion of making it Erotic - I think that's a sure way to get bashed on the spot however

(note only read OP so far)

my response to that would be......

"THE FUCK! SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!!?"

then a lot of head shaking would occur as i walked out.

Something like this actually happened to me back in october. I was in a club with the girlfriend (I hate them but she loves to dance). In the bathroom some yob starts shouting at me "stay the fuck away from my drink", he'd put it on the sink counter rather then hold it while pissing I guess. I just gave him a smirk "what were you thinking" look and wait for him to break eye contact.

I'd never get in a fight because of some stupid comments like that but as others said, if he so much as touched me aggressively I take that as an attempt on my life and respond in kind. Go for the genitals first, then the eyes and so on.

EoC speaks wisdom. I tried to tell myself the same, and it's good to see it coming from someone else.

I would feel uncomfortable striking first. I was a strict pacifist for a long time, and even though I don't think that's a valid line of reasoning to apply to people anymore, Cramulus made a very good point. It was only a suggested threat of sterile fluid. No harm done.

What is it about dignity or saving face? Why is it so important? Why do we get so caught up in maintaining it?

Our societies ingrain in us social norms. A social norm is to save face, not cause confrontations.

They call it the Nafs

you think it's your pride, your money, your date, your bank account, your penis, your god,
something worth getting worked up over,


but it's not


it's your ego


and it tricks you into thinking its important so that you'll feed it power
