I confess that I look forward to opening The RPoL Chamber of Lost Souls when it's red. Alas, it's almost always Double Trouble. I'm guilty because the moderators shouldn't have to deal with such stuff.

Chamber of Lost Souls is the best game on RPOL. :3

I confess..Not only reading the Chamber of Lost Souls..

But coming into the Community Chat to find this thread open, to read everyone else's confessions.

Oh (divine power of your choosing) yes!  When I see that forum light up, I am on it!  Part of me wants to make sure it's not one of my players, but the biggest part just wants to see the train wreck!

Oh you evil people.  I actually REMOVED that forum-zone for these exact reasons.  I was always WAY too eager to read them =).  Now, I feel the urge again.. dang..

In reply to Evil Empryss (msg # 4):

And when it is one of my fellow gamers or a player. Oh boy. I must be bound for Gamer Hell.

In reply to GamerHandle (msg # 5):

GMs are supposed to read that forum. It's the only way you'll know if one of your players gets banned.

I enjoy having justification for my blood sport.

I love it too. Every time it turns red I secretly hope it's 'Sticking Pennies in the Power Sockets.'

Other guilty pleasures:
-80's and 90's mainstream rap (you down with OPP?)
-MLP marathons
-Stuffing myself with Pillsbury Pizza Pockets until I can't move

I actually found the gm to a game I joined in there.  It definitely explained why they weren't posting

There being the chamber of lost souls

I thought I was the only one. I also do that with crab sushi.

Additionally, being a horrible global citizen.

In reply to Wyrm (msg # 10):

I know that feel, bro. For me it's unagi rolls. I can eat those things until I burst. When the local all you-can-eat Dim Sum place sees me coming it's like a crowd scene from Godzilla.

Yeah you know me!

Even worse than pigging out on sushi, I must confess, is pigging out on cheap, gas station sushi. It's just so tasty! There's a place nearby and they get the shipment in around 3am. So when I can't sleep or I'm coming off an odd shift, I'll head there for cheap sushi and hot chocolate. Sooooo good!

Next Confession: At restaurants, I'll order a salad and two desserts.

My guilty (and strange) cravings are for Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough, raw. I just can't help myself sometimes, I buy a roll of it and eat it out of the can. (Then I pay for it cause of the bloating over the next couple of days, but sometimes it is So worth it).

Imagining my characters in TV shows/Movies/Comics with a huge fan following that makes gifs and tribute art/videos.

Also, Kyary Pamyu-Pamyu.  Because Ponponpon is fruiting catchy and I don't care what anyone says. XP

Sapporo....

O ye gods, so many carbs.... so many tasty, tasty, alcoholic carbs....

Have your tried doing Half hot chocolate and half french vanilla? I got addicted to it.

French Vanilla...what? Like a creamer or something? I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

In reply to Eggy (msg # 17):

Sorry, french vanilla coffee. Racetrac had these coffee dispensers that also had the hot chocolate dispensers. Half of one, half of the other, absolutely tasty. And super sweet.

Thanks, but no. Coffee's gross.

That's my next confession. I think coffee is gross.

Go to the coffee area, fill the bottom of the cup with whole milk from the dispenser (or vanilla creamer, if they have it; or amarretto, or any other flavored creamer they have that strikes your fancy, but enough to put about a 1/4" of creamer on the bottom of the cup), then add the hot coco.  The milk/creamer will make the water-based coco creamier.  My local gas station even has caramel and dark chocolate syrups (the thick kind like you put on ice cream, not the see-thru syrups you usually flavor coffee with), and I add both to mine when I'm feeling truly decadent.  Oh, and whipped cream and coco powder on top.  Mmmmmmmm......

Creamer? Eww!

Not the powder stuff... actual dairy-based cream.  You can use flavored or not.  It's like making hot coco with actual milk.  Unless you're lactose intolerant, I highly recommend you try it.  Your coco will be sooooo much smoother.

No, not lactose intolerant. I just don't like hot coco with milk. I have a list of dislikes a yard long. At least.

mm have done that with my coffee from time to time (well not the whipped cream, I have one of those reusable coffee club cubs and the whipped cream does not go well with the lid.)

I work in retail and I love making angry customers even angrier. If a customer comes in with a good attitude, I will do EVERYTHING I can to make sure they leave happy. However, once they catch an attitude, it's "Bye, Felicia!" I won't do squat for a customer with an attitude. I don't care when you bought it, or why it got broke. If you give me lip, I'm going to start quoting policy until you get pissed off enough to where you wanna speak to a manager, and then I'm going to call the manager I know is going to back me up so you DARN well don't get what you want.

So yeah, that's my not-so-guilty pleasure. lol

In reply to Eggy (msg # 19):

I'm with you Eggy, coffee is gross.  But a hint of coffee in the hot chocolate should enhance the flavor of the chocolate.  And it does, but I hate coffee so much, I can taste even the hint, and that hint is enough to ruin it for me.

As for my guilty pleasure, a triple chocolate shake from Dairy Queen.  Has to be made with their chocolate ice cream and 9 squirts of that chocolate syrup they use.

In reply to PsychoJester (msg # 25):

Oh I know people like you. You alienate customers and drive them to never come back to your store. This has long range consequences - Karma is a 'female dog with bad attitude' and has a special place for people like you. Mostly in giving you such grief back when your having such a bad day as those unfortunate customers you have dealt with.

It usually pays to be nice to people even if they are pissy, if you can get them to feel better about the situation instead of worse then the world is a small bit better place. Better Karma to.

 I enjoy watching the movie 'Bio-Dome' over and over again.

Confession: Looking for a flag button for Post #27.

voodoozombie: When I was about 12, I wanted to marry Paulie Shore.

Fill cup with milk. Heat. Add sugar to taste. Add instant coffee (choose your variety) to taste. Put money saved from Starbucks etc. in jar.

$2.50 * 5 * 50 = $625

Of course, if you make friends or contacts at ....

LOL Yeah, paint ME as the bad guy. Granted, I admit I could have a more positive attitude with everyone. By that same token, so could everyone. After nearly 20 years in some form of retail, I am fed up with the people that come in and act like we're trash because of where we work. I am human. I pay bills and worry just as much as anyone where my next meal is coming from. So ya know what? Some times I am tired of being the better man. That's why me giving problem customers the same attitude the show me is a guilty pleasure, not a normal habit.

I don't think despising coffee is much of a guilty pleasure or confession.  I've never liked it...and working the morning shift at a truck stop for a few years kind of built in a psychological aversion to the smell of it (because each customer that came to the counter with their morning cup meant it was that much sooner I had to go refresh the coffee-maker...usually when I had a line of eight or nine people waiting at the register...)

But, I will admit to half-and-halfing coffee with hot chocolate for a show I was in.  I tried just drinking the coffee for one rehearsal...by the time we were done that night, I thought I was going to be sick.  I'd have just done the cocoa, but they needed to have someone top off my 'coffee' cup in the scene.  So, the cup started half full of cocoa, and then she topped it off.  And that was actually pretty good.

I don't know that I really have a whole lot in the way of pleasures that I'm guilty about, though...most stuff I like, I'm pretty open about.

I dunno about these guilty pleasures. If you're willing to share it with a whole group of people, some of whom, if not most, you barely know, do you really feel that guilty about them?

I have a few guilty pleasures, and they vary from telling absolutely no-one about them; to a rare few.

In my case it's more like strange pleasures over guilty ones - I don't feel guilt about any pleasures I can get any more, the number seems to shrink from year to year as it is.

As a GM I find it amusing and entertaining to see games that I've put forth an RTJ, and denied, to falter and whither away as my post count soars past those games.

Yes I know it can happen to may game at any time...

In reply to OceanLake (msg # 1):

I often find myself looking over the Chamber of Lost Souls, especially the Pennies in the Power Points section, rereading it again and again. I swear, I almost get nostalgic when I see certain names, like when you think back on the vacation where absolutely everything went sideways, and remember how much you hated it at the time, but what a ride it was.

My biggest guilty pleasure is drama shows, specifically those shows like Gossip Girl something about watching over priveleged kids wine about their romantic woes makes me very happy.

One of my guiltiest pleasures, and there are so many, is listening to a kids radio station on my radio, and singing along to Disney and Muppet tunes.

I like to employ the Scotty Principle.

"When can I expect that needed part of the project?"

"Well, it's a bit tough, but I think a good aim would be seven days."

"... Can we try to make it 5 days?"

"I don't know, I'll do my best ... *suppresses evil laugh*"

Keeping soundboards on my phone, setting my phone's volume to REALLY REALLY REALLY low - and attaching the settings to a timer.  Then, playing them in weird parts of wherever I am at the most disturbing of opportunities.  Like right in the middle of someone telling a deja vu story or similar =)

Dear Kouk,

Remember to look harried.

Sincerely,

The Free Advisor

My reality shows - not behaving badly ones like Survivor, but Amazing Race (see the world and some of its strangest customs), So You Think You Can Dance (shirtless guys, but wish we still had the Canadian one), The Voice, Dancing with Stars (aka mostly who are these people?? but with interesting dances and lots of fringe, and yay for more shirtless guys!), and the especially guilty ones, America's Got Talent (many of them do, but I fast forward past the guy who can bring things up in a different order than he swallowed them), and American Idol (let's see how much we can make a variety of singers sound alike).

OK, I guess I should kill you all now that you know my darkest secrets.  ;-)

I confess that I love online gaming because I hate going to other gamers' houses.

Putting in NPCs and trying to make the players believe they are PCs, with spelling and grammar errors, uniquely styled writing very different from my own, etc.

In reply to Heath (msg # 44):

Thats, really awesome actually.

Rogue like games are my big vice.... and chips lol.

After players guess or start to believe that a PC is really an NPC, going out and getting a player to actually play the NPC and thereby turn the NPC into a PC...which really throws the other players for a loop...and then turning it back into an NPC if the player leaves or wants a new character.

(And so the cycle continues.  I had one NPC/PC played by four different players, plus being NPC between players.)

In reply to Heath (msg # 44):

I have done this one once, the players from that game never did figure out it was an NPC.

Land of the Lost tv series.

Ah, yes, the Sleestaks.

My guilty pleasure is American Mystery novels. I especially like to read Lee Child and Michael Connely.

Watching and rewatching the new Starcraft 2 trailer.

M:tA ....  I enjoy abusing the fruit out of some entropy, and or combining spheres.  Not very many people know how to combine spheres properly or just how far you can go with that.
