No.

Why don't you normals talk about that on MSN or something, you guys are used to that kind of stuff, right ?

Hmmmm, maybe. But I would probably die.

The old thread was nice but this is just a big no.

No.

Cool post Mokou.

>>6562953
you forgot your trip

>>6562929
Hmm, what do you mean?

Anyways, the email of the person who posted their email in the last thread didn't work for some reason.

If you attended a meetup, would you dress up just to feel less exposed?

>>6562958
Anytime

>>6562927
Now that I think about it, I would if it were physically possible. Stay classy, OP.

>>6562966
Nah. Fuck it.

>>6562966
>If you attended a meetup, would you dress up just to feel less exposed?
You mean like wear a coat?

>>6562973
Don't be mean to Moekou, asshole. He's been here for over 2 years, unlike you.

>>6562974
Well, things like cosplay, mask, ect, actually cover up your identity.

If you were to play games together, what would you play?

If you were to go places, where would you go?

>>6562978
Stop posting without your tripcode Mokou.

I like the idea of meeting with some people from /jp/, but actually doing it would probably be awful. I don't want to be murdered in my sleep a month later or something, so I'll say no.

Someone should go ahead and meetup with Mokou and break his fingers so he can't post for a while.

>>6562978
I'm not being mean. I just don't care what I look like.

>>6562988
At least you'd die peacefully.

>>6562982
Those are hard questions. I really wouldn't know.

>>6562982
>cover up your identity
Gay

It would be nice for everyone to play a game of Pretend

I'd go anywhere as long as it's not dark and humid.

>>6562993
Good point. You'll never see it coming

>>6562982
I'm pretty unnoticeable anyway, so no. Well, unless I'm in a group of 5 foot tall chinese people or something.

Living proof that /jp/ has gone to shit.

You're mean. If I ever wanted to get a trip, having anything stupid I say so easily retrievable from the archive would scare me.

The thread is bad though, you're right on that one.

>>6563012

I would. I mean, what the hell, I'd be a nice change of pace from being holed up in front of my PC 24/7. And I wouldn't be meeting with any normalfags anyway, I would be meeting people who have the same tastes and culture I have. We wouldn't be staring awkwardly at each other, but having fun somewhere.

I'd be fun. I don't see anything wrong with this. If you think you're too shy to do it, that's your problem. But when you think about it, the person on the other side of the web is just as shy as you.

So you should just get over your shyness and do stuff.

Oh yeah, people were posting their email addresses in the other thread! Anyone else like to communicate?

Anyways, let's all be friendly to one-another! We're all dedicated fans of niche things like Touhou and VN, after all! If you guys and gals ever did attend a meetup, would you all just have a massive group hug?

>>6563033
>would you all just have a massive group hug
No, just being near people makes me woozy.

>>6563033
I'm the >>6563025 poster.

Even though I love communicating with other /jp/ers, I don't think posting your e-mail on 4chan is a good idea, regardless of what board you're on.

It's nothing personal.

>>6563033
>massive group hug
Which hopefully ramps up to orgy quickly or I'll get too bored

>>6563033
Reposting mine before going to sleep, Bye Moekou!

delicious_fangs@hotmail.com

>>6563025
I'd probably be super nervous at first but it just takes a little to break my shell. I'm not against meeting someone from /jp/. Playing games with you guys has always been a blast.

>>6563038
Not that I care but what kind of reasoning is that? It's email not your phone number.

>>6563049
It's... I don't know actually. I never put much thought into it.

I like the people on here. But I'm a total n00b when it comes to otaku. Have only been posting on here for a few weeks so I'm still picking up on little bits and pieces and trying to dissect what the hell people are talking about. So I don't know what I'd talk about with anyone if there were to be some big meet up.

>>6563025
>>6563043

People like you are why I like this idea.

I guess I would go as long as it was close. Stop making me feel lonely before I go to sleep /jp/. I haven't had a friend to play games with in years.

>>6563051
This is why you create a fake spam email.

>>6563049
sharing personal contacts means breaking out of anonymity a bit and take up a fixed identity, as temporary as it may be.
I can see how someone, especially on /jp/, would have problems with that. It's the reason I keep deleting each and every personal page I ever made about various things.

>>6563036
Yeah, but everyone can feel awkward together!

I know many of you are incredibly shy and sensitive. I have never ever insulted anyone here for that very reason, because I know some of you take things very hard. Many are too shy to make direct communication even over the internet, and meeting people feels physically impossible. Hikkikomori isn't a joke. Many fear being thought to be abnormal, to be singled out, to be awkward and left out. Perhaps even posting as anonymous is difficult.

It's ok! Just do what you feel comfortable with and work your way up! Meeting or talking with fellow /jp/ers is very different than interacting with critical mainstream society. Try to relax and take it easy!

>>6563066
Taking a few shots of liquor will help too.

>>6563066
I mean it literally makes me woozy. Like I'll fall over if I'm around people too long.

If there was a meetup where I live, I'd probably go to the place and hang around a bit, to see if anyone else showed up. I wouldn't join up with the group straight away, I'd just observe for a minute or two.

>>6563066
What country do you live in?

feco-kun@hotmail.com

Posting a fake email in order to get some entertainment won't hurt.
I'd like to play chess against someone sometimes

Oh yeah! If you feel like blogging or telling about your experiences feel free to email me at moekou@gmail.com! Meanwhile people who don't like it don't need to insult you and tell you to not blog, get out, ect.

Win-win for everyone, and I'm super confidential so don't worry!

How many of you deep down would like to meet up but just think you can't due to embarrassment, shyness, ect?

I don't want to meet with any of you people! you are all psychos.. I'd have to throw rocks at you all.

>>6563083

Byakuren said that to me once... so I threw one at her...

Every time you bump a shitty thread you make Yayoi cry. Stop making Yayoi cry.

Thanks.

I don't need a tripcode. Everyone knows me by my rocks!


By the way has Byakuren had any attention yet today?

I live in Norway so it looks like I'll pass on this meetup...

Not like I'd want to walk outside now though, god damn coldest weather in 288 years, but it's a nice opportunity to hikkikomori it up.

>>6563112
Why is she a raichu?

>>6563116
What's the weather like in Norway?
Have you lions?

>This thread

>>6563125
It's around -30 in my area now, the worst part is that it'll only get colder from here. Last winter we actually had -50, I can't even believe that the postmen were still working under those conditions, total badasses.

Actually we DO have lions! Or had, this is our fabulous coat of arms, from eons ago when lions lived in Norway. I think Eric Bloodaxe finally made them extinct (at least that's what the Kings' Saga says), he couldn't kill off the polar bears though. Yesterday, those fuckers stole the onaholes I've been keeping in the snow outside my house. God damn it, I hate polar bears.

>>6563126

What's your political system like?

By the way, if a meetup was arranged at, say, an anime convention, how long would you hold it? Would you go places as a group? What about people who try to show up to the meetup but arrive late?

>>6563116
Where in Norway?

>>6563080
I took up chess about a year ago. I have been playing ever since. yep just me and god ol chessmaster

>>6563182
Unlike USA and the UK, we have a shitload of political parties, it's really fun. Actually you only need a certain amount of signatures to create one, this comedian once created this party called "the Norwegian party" and then he showed up at debates and trolled everyone. But anyway, to get the majority of the votes the parties make alliances and stuff, very exciting. We have a relatively low amount of corruption, it's pretty microscopic when compared to bigger countries, also amazing healthcare and lots of oil monies. Lately our very right-wing has been getting a lot of votes though, I'm concerned. Loli is also legal here by the way, unlike our neighbours (in Sweden it's illegal, probably getting illegal in Denmark soon). So yeah Norway is pretty god damn sweet, it's pretty easy to become a NEET here as well, I'm not into stuff like that though.
We have king as well, but Norway is a constitutional monarchy, so he has no power. He's pretty good at sailing though, our former king was even better, he won the Olympics once, total badass.

>>6563176
Take it easy man. We actually have polar bears though, but not on the mainland. It's an island called Svalbard, it's very cold and it we sent our prisoners there to mine coal before. Not much there nowadays though. Norway also has penguins actually! Because around 1/5 of Antarctica is Norwegian. Queen Maud Land, so good. The Troll research station is located there, also the SANAE research station.

Blame immigration.

Any ausbros?

If /jp/ was a bunch of shy, awkward, stuttering tsunderes, then maybe.

But since they're all like this pic, no.

>>6563262
>>6563250
Wait, so you start in native lingo then switch to english. Why?
Is English the more dominant language?

>>6563270
The immigrants are taking all the low-level jobs. If they suddenly disappeared, Norway would collapse.

I'm grateful.

What the fuck is happening here? Take this shit to /r9k/ retards.

We have the same problem in America with Mormons.

>>6563278
Norwegian language history time? Okay.

Way before, during the Viking Age, Norse was spoken in Norway. The Norse of that time was very similar to Icelandic today. We had runes as well, but then Olav the Holy formally introduced Christianity after he won the Battle of Stiklestad (1030). A side-effect of that was the Bible, and with it, the Latin alphabet. Spoken language was pretty much unchanged, but Latin letters slowly took the place of the runes.
The Black Plague pretty much changed every European country forever, Norway was no exception. When that accursed ship entered Bergen in 1349, the disease aboard eventually killed roughly 50% of the Norwegian population. Almost every person who could write died since they were usually appointed to take care of the sick. The Norse written language died out around this point. Because of the Plague people were isolated and the language evolved quickly into the many characteristic dialects that Norway has today.
As weak as she was at the time, Norway decided it was better to enter the Kalmar Union (Union between Norway, Sweden and Denmark) in 1388. It had no immediate effect on the language until the start of the sixteenth century, when the union broke up. Norway still was under Denmark though, and Danish became the official written language. This of course had pretty massive effects and it's the reason why Norwegian can be seen on some sort of hybrid between Danish and Swedish.

Cont'd.

>>6563377

In 1814 Norway finally decided to break out! An awesome constitution was even made! But then we came under Swedish rule, orz. The Norwegian spirit would not be quelled. At around the same time two persons separately decided to create a new written language. Ivar Aasen travelled across Norway to create New Norwegian out of the multitude of dialects while Knut Knutsen decided to Norwegianize the Danish written language and made Book Language.
Of course nobody could decide which one to use, and therefore we quite pointlessly have two different written languages in Norway.
Nothing especially more noteworthy happened to the language since then. We drove out the Swedes in 1905, got occupied by Nazis in WW2 and drove those out too. Post-war Norwegian was influenced a bit by English, but no biggie. Today the most major thing happening is that the characteristic "kj"-sound might disappear from Norwegian. This is quite worthy of concern.

But yeah, I guess the answer to your question is that we're at an English imageboard, so let's use English so everybody can understand. The "native lingo" is only Prefecture names, don't worry.

>>6563305

the irony of my life is that the hobbies that I'm into are filled with people I would probably despise.
so I would rather eat rhinoceros shit then attend a meetup of any kind.

I already meet a /jp/er every day at work and he's more than enough for me.

Well, I doubt anyone will bother or see this, but I guess I'll throw down too.
