<danly> 'cause you know, behind every nympho-elf there's a 40 year old man living in his parent's basement just hoping you’ll make a pass at him so he can initiate cybersex.
<Xore> many 40 year old men are better at cybersex as nympho-elves than most nympho-elves
<danly> That's strangely insightful and revolting at the same time

Na it came to me when somebody said...you have so many good ideas, but why don't you do something with them. Which makes me think about the whiners and carebears in MMOs, who have good ideas and no equipment.
It also works with people who take "normal jobs" being grinders, or lesser members in guilds/orders/clans/corps, whereas those who seek new paths, or start their guild/clan and run it well, do very very well in MMOs.
Works on several other levels as well, which is obvious, since MMOs are models of human society. Of course it isn't a perfect fit, models never are, plus there are twists and turns to make it more interesting then real life, at least until you try living life like you play an MMO
