Column: Player Vignette: Yogi
by Loli
Yogi has been around GNE since before I arrived at the beginning of November, 2002. From the very start, I thought “What a great guy,” and my opinion has yet to change. What follows are a few examples of how Yogi contributed to the community spirit of GNE.
Yogi showed concern for his fellow Stenciltonians:
Yogi: So…I’m starting to suspect Serenity is standing here all AFK like.
Yogi: And I’m srarting to wonder one one does with a pretty muched ‘passed out’ red head in front of one’s house.
Loli: Say she was a garden gnome?
Yogi: one one == what one.
Serenity: im not passed out
Yogi: Muched == …
Serenity: i was afk
Yogi: Damn. Apparently one should run like hell now.
Yogi was eager to befriend new players:
Yogi: Hey…Devi’s a goddess! I’m making her aquaintance…
Yogi: Goddess willing, of course!
devi: Goddess willing!
Yogi: Wheee!
Loli: Well, I know you’re gonna be occupied tonight…
devi: Goddess not that willing!
Yogi: Heheh
Yogi: That’s okay, I’m a one virtual girl kinda guy…
(Sorry about that one, Yoggers.)
And take them under his wing:
Desi: hey Yogi, can i be your apprentice again?
Desi: I have much to learn about running C
Yogi: But of course, Desi. You got potential, kiddo!
Yogi was ever ready with a compliment:
Yogi: Whoa. I dunno about sharing a hub with a guy that can use about 20 condoms in as many seconds…
Mira Arianrhod: *blinks*
Yogi: That’s impressive endurance, even with the hair trigger problem.
Yogi showed an interest in world events:
Yogi: Hey! So when are you USAians gunna finish of Iraw, already?
Yogi: Or even Iraw, if it suits you better.
inspöetica: you mean IRAQ?
Yogi: Damn. Where is that q key
Yogi: There it is! Ha!
As well as political interests in GNE:
fm2k: When the Big Game starts, there will be all kind of factions and philosphies represented
Yogi: Yeah, yo. I’l be representin’ da foos.
But best of all, Yogi was my very first friend in GNE. Smooches to the bear!
