Re: What Do Dip Players Do in Real Life?
I am not a techno-programmer-geek at all. However, I am a game-geek, a history-geek, and a library-geek. I am happily (and humbly) married to the greatest woman in the world… since 1982. Two grown offspring that make me proud, and two grandchildren that make me giddy. Over the years, I have worn many income-producing hats. Oddest jobs: cricket official before I’d ever played a game of cricket; telephone salesman for a product that I hated; chief chemist for an electro-plating company; and a matchmaker. Presently, I am a preacher, a teacher, a ghost-writer, and a ‘carer’ for my 5 acres of Kansas soil.

Matchmaker as in an agent of Eros or as in a friend of pyromaniacs everywhere?

Re: What Do Dip Players Do in Real Life?
Oh man. Now that's a game I love to watch the going ons and read about, but never actually play. Far too intimidating.
Though the BoB/Goon days are my favorite stories ^.^
Though I tend to be looking at these events more of a historical event vs as a player, so I've always been a BoB fan ^.^
Though I swear the goonswarm never seem to die

27. Factory worker at a plastic extrusion company. I still run lines when needed, but mostly supervise and help newer guys now. Outside of dip, I like drinking in dive bars and moshing at local metal shows. My wife thinks I'll grow up some day.

High school government and economics teacher. So I guess this basically is part of my job description
Re: What Do Dip Players Do in Real Life?
Most of my career was spent doing software engineering and later tech management of Internet companies. Now I've joined a small consulting firm helping other companies on product and tech issues.
I live in Southern California, and probably will through when my kids become adults, but I think I'll probably live elsewhere after that. I'm also an amateur magician, working mostly with cards and some smaller stage stuff. That's how I got so good at making my supply centers disappear.

I was going to say "I write code from my mom's basement" to be funny...
But that of course would be a lie. I am old enough now that I own my basement.

Building energy efficiency engineer. But really a business owner who has a stable of engineers in the company. I am writing a book. I love history. And I cut and split fallen trees into firewood. Lots of it.
Re: What Do Dip Players Do in Real Life?
I started out as an aerospace engineer, turned to Quality Food Assurance for Pillsbury. I now own a small bakery in a resort community to be near my grandchildren.
So, I decided to buy my retirement house first.

Get arrested whilst engaging in Political Activism outside new Chinese Consulate in Joslin Adelaide on Tuesday in support of Myanmar Democracy Activists, Tibetan Freedom Activists, Uyghur Human Rights Activists and Australian Democracy. It's always good to send the Cannon Fodder like Daffy Old MM over the top in the first wave out of the trenches to storm the Imperialist Warmonger Dictatorship's totalitarian regime
