Are You?

There are twinks... and then there are TWINKS. IMHO, people who MU* only to tinysex fall into the latter category. We¹ve all seen them. The characters with triple bra sizes who wear micromini latex in the dead of winter. The PCs who¹s idea of a conversation consists of "Hello. Want to go back to my place?" So if you have nightmares about becoming one of those one handed typists, here¹s a list of warning signs (with big thanks to the players of Dark Gift for both suggestions and inspiration) and a bit of advice... get an IC life :P You Might Be A TS TWINK If....

10. If you argue with approval staff that YOUR thief/hooker/anthropologist pc should have an app 4, charisma 4, seduction 4 despite the fact you are ICly 14 years old...

9. If you have 4 or more different versions of a "Nude" desc which vary according fourto the levels of *cough* arousal you achieve...

8.. If you have coded up specific emits appropriate to different genders and species...

7. If you wear the micromini and bursting bosom desc in the middle of IC winter...

6. The 'm' in 'TmS' confuses you. Hint: It doesn't mean that you're doing it solo.

5. If you have a nude desc(s) set before you finish chargen you might be a TSer.

4. The guys at Best Buy refer to you as 'that crazy kid that always seems to need a new keyboard.'

5. When "I'll show you mine if you show me yours," doesn't refer to stats.

4. You wonder why "Perpetual Rugburn <3pt>" is not a recognized flaw.

3. Even NPC bartenders ask you to "close your legs."

2. Masturbation has become such an art form for your character, you +vote yourself for the incredible, yet private, roleplay.

And the #1 Sign :

1. Carpal Tunnel has killed your sex life.
