Asperger's Test.

Dude, you should try boning her one night instead. Trust me, it'll feel muuuuuuuuuuch better.

It's tabletop, you wouldn't understand

Though I am perturbed how a female managed to get away with playing in games workshop without causing panic or most of the young males to run out screaming out of the shop.

Or the fact you managed to stay in the longer than 20 seconds without fainting from the smell of prevalent bo

That doesn't occur in this country till may to june (a seasonal affliction), I'd recommend some hollandaise or just melted butter during this period.

It's a long running story in our local GW.

She would pop in to get some minis and the manager would go up to her and say "Oh, has he sent out the little lady with a list of things to get ?".

She ripped his head off and spat it out in front of the whole store.

Now when she goes in, the male staff make a polite nod in her direction and go and hide.

We did old style W40K and Warhammer Battle for many years. Halo's still got her Elven 25K point army somewhere in the flat.

The New 40K is a blast however.

It's streamlined where it needs to be, fast and furious where it needs to be, and with the addition of mission objectives and other goodness, is much fun to play Norrahe.

Once we get the house sorted out (moving from a 1 bed to a 4 bed) , you're most welcome to come and play with us.

For the Emperor !

ps..what Army did you play ?

I play Space Wolves, and Halo has an Eldar Fetish going on, as usual. RPG is the same...

This thread reminds me of when Mark Haddon's book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time became a best-seller back around 2004.

For those who don't know the book, it's a murder mystery (the victim is the neighbour's dog) and the narrator is a 15-year-old boy with severe Asperger's Syndrome: he has almost no understanding of what other people are thinking or feeling, yet knows that they are thinking and feeling things that he cannot understand, although that knowledge can only help him to formulate logical deductions that might lead him to some purely intellectual understanding of their thoughts and feelings; empathy is beyond him, even though he understands that others need to at least imagine that he can empathise with them, although they know he can't.

Every nerdish male I know who had a girlfriend or wife that read the book was exhorted to read it themselves and, having done so, was then asked "Do you think that maybe you..."

Never in the field of human relationships have so many had to explain that having a tendency to closely analyse matters and apply the techniques of logic thereto does not imply that one is autistic

The book is truly excellent, and I recommend it to all. If nothing else, reading it will give you a much better idea of whether or not you have Asperger's Syndrome than that test will. If you empathise with the narrator then, by definition, you don't, for if you did you would be unable to empathise even with somebody who thought in the same manner as you

However my score was 18 - FWIW

Meanwhile,,back at Waterloo, its 12:45
The old guard are marching up the road from La Belle alliance and will attack La Haye Sainte when the mud clears. In the meantime the French gun line pounds the dutch on the ridge and I corps hide in the folds of the ground , waiting for the signal to attack. Fourth division of I corp are strung out around Papelotte on the right, resisting an Allied surge. British hussars launch a speculative charge and get hung up on an embankment where they get shot at by French skirmishers.
On the left, the French attack on Hougoumont goes well but the rest of II corps stall, as twelve dutch battalions from Hal approach the frenchie rear.

12 for me. Where's AtW? Bet he scored off the chart?

Last museum was Games Workshop HQ in Nottingham where I played Space Marines and walloped Halo's Eldar Army, including
rolling 3 wounds and taking out her eldar guardians, and sending her Farseer in to a rout. She rolled a 6 and regained morale, and then turned to face 3 terminators storming down on her, storm bolters blazing on full auto. A sweeeeeeeet moment !

I was a manager for Games Workshop, many, many years ago before I went to University. Then I GREW UP BGG YOU ******* CHILD!!!

OMG, my ex-wife bought that book for me to read! Surely a lawyer can't have been thinking a developer nerdish....

Anyway I can't be a very good developer because I only scored 15, although I found that my score improved if I lined all the answers up, the best scores being a repeated diagonal stripe, althought that one depended on the initial offset....
