Alright folks! That's it, it's time that we finally strike back!

At least in our own imaginations. ;-P

What say you?

You know *everyone* is gonna want to roll high Int. :P

[shirenomad]

Except for those playing the User class. They'll put all their points into Ego.

[ladynisa.livejournal.com]

Or Charisma, except they have a -5 for being a user.

You're going to have to go a lot lower by the time you get to senior management..

[canray.livejournal.com]

Seeing as Int and Wis are two of the most important stats for Techies, ya, not surprised.

[ebtb.livejournal.com]

I wanna lvl up my "Courtesy Laugh" skill...

"You find yourself in the server room. You see a grue."

[shirenomad]

Only if the power in the server room is out, in which case a grue is the least of your worries.

[xforge.livejournal.com]

Guffaw!! Yah, if the server room is DARK, I'm pretty much HOPING to get eaten by the grue.

I can work on the following:
Classes:
Phone Monkey
Tier 3

Monsters:
.. whatever ISP-type ones I come up with. :D

[gilmoure.livejournal.com]

I want to be a User with extra points in Will Not Read Directions. Will also take some points in Does Not Listen to Tech.

/GURPS: Tech Support

"I wanna cast Magic Missile! ... I'm attacking the darknessstupidity!"

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine. You attack the stupidity.

[snarl817.livejournal.com]

I keep doing damage, but it just won't die!

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

It falls on your head and kills you.

[japester.livejournal.com]

Stupidity is not a Gazebo ...

[canray.livejournal.com]

Do not mock the nobel Gazebo!

One of my characters had a Cape made from the pelt of a Gazebo. He got much respect!

[japester.livejournal.com]

ooooooooh
bad time to be drinking coffee.
C|N>k
damn you and your great sense of humour!
::shakes fist::

[brothersterno.livejournal.com]

As if I want to think about doing tech support in my free time.

[skylion.livejournal.com]

Magical object: The Amulet of Technican Proximity. Leave it near some equipment and it's just as if the tech were standing right there, so nothing ever breaks.

[kestrelct.livejournal.com]

We had one of those at my last job, it was one of those plastic wands with water and glitter inside. We called it the Magic Wand.

[the-s-guy.livejournal.com]

Ours was going to have a glittery star on it, a whippy aerial at the top and some Cat5 at the bottom. We were going to call it the Wide Area Network Detector.

[wherdafux-d-cat.livejournal.com]

I want a +10 LART of Smiting. (Not to be confused with a LART of Wisdom -- the latter enhances (albeit briefly) the luser's smarts, the former is just damned fun to swing at deserving heads.)

[siliconshaman.livejournal.com]

I want the +10 Key of Smiting [see icon].

[swwinchester.livejournal.com]

I think this is going to be summed up by a very, very old paraphrase.

"Do you want to play a game?"
"Let's Play Tech Support RPG!"
"The only way to win ... is not to play."

[kerberos.livejournal.com]

The only winning move is not to play.

Kerberos hits you with +4 obscure quote reference.

[wherdafux-d-cat.livejournal.com]

It's not that old. :-þ

Re: Harrumph

[canray.livejournal.com]

No, the sad part is, it is that old now. :-(

Re: Harrumph

[wherdafux-d-cat.livejournal.com]

Hush, you, or I'll beat you with my walker.

[the-s-guy.livejournal.com]

How. About. A. Nice. Game. Of. Chess?

[shirenomad]

No, let's play Global Thermonuclear War.

Target the source of this support call first.

[attackgypsy.livejournal.com]

I wanna play a Call Center director that knows nothing about tech, and yet will monitor your calls and score you on your customer service. And mark you down for not saying the User's name enough times.
