Ah meta characters, your mmorpg entity for the internet. If you do it properly, the data cloud meta itself. Rarely do I write in the person, but today I came to bury pinche tejano, and definitely not to praise his ass.
Pinche tejano was a character made up of mixture of bad ass cowboys of my youth and a blend of some other creole expats I knew in Mexico. He was an ass, and smart, which made him a smartass. He was perfect for the Double-Oughts, when anyone with a lick of intelligence was amazed by the overwhelming colourfast of stupidity happening all around us.
The next phase in America will not be stupid, but could be savvy in a most unwelcomed of ways. That requires a different meta character than a dick of a Texan, and it may require a differnt medium. Who the fuck really knows.
All I know is throwing cocktails around under you start fires of banality has proved fruitless. Entertaining, yes, but fruitless.
Pinche had a good career, he talked massive amounts of bullshit. There’s good nuggets here and there. He had a great time starting village fires in Narajastan. Which brings up an interesting metamoral question.
Am I banned from Daily Kos, or is Pinche Tejano?
It also calls into question the deviation curve of investment of the users in their mmorpg characters on the internet. What amount are writing completely in character to those who write under their own name based in real-life reality? What is the population density of each point of this spectrum?
I put pinche tejano at 90% in character, 10% me in reality. Does this mean 10% of me is banned from Daily Kos?
Another important question is the amount of investment a person feels versus the investment of another user in an interaction. So a heavy reality user is slighted by a heavy character user, is that slight applicable in real life?
Since the heavy character is not the real person’s true intent, but that of their mmorpg, should they be held socially accountable?
Before they combine tv and the web, we really need to get these contemporary moral problems sorted. Or we will just half-ass it as humanity is prone to do.
Yeah, we will definitely half-ass it.
And pinche won’t be there to help make that so.
Been seeing you, bet on it.
And this is not a GBCW, it is character reclass decision.

who are you this time?
…I’d miss you if you disappeared. But I’m not really one to talk, am I?
why anyone would play a character on the Internet. What was the point?
I’ve been me on the net since I joined it in 1992. Who else would I choose?
…and one for the road.
we will know it’s you when you reincarnate as someone else.
I guess its just a matter of how consciously we do so.
pinche tejano, and yet have found him on the back roads of the net, just where I first found him. The name may not be the same but the story is the same. One of his many faces, which always has his MO all over it.
Something will give you away some thing that holds all your writing together, so I won’t morn the demise of pinche. Hy favorite was the pinche I used to find in the middle of the night in a diner at dkos.
so adios amigo see you in your next carnation. Make it pink. I liked the dolphin story and the techie grid spacey ones so I’m sure I’ll thrill to your next. Don’t be gone too long as your a choice surprise amongst the stream that comes out of my screen. A good mixer is always needed.
