What's with the flamesuits? Isn't that cheating?

[foxgrrl]

This is the first that I have heard of it. Where is it exactly?

I *really* wish we could read the rules for DDI.

I don't really think that they were my best, I should have moved to a better position to photograph from, for one thing. (But there was a crowd I didn't want to fight my way through and stuff.) There's some technical flaws that I should have avoided too, etc. I think that I was in a hurry to get to somewhere else, but I wanted to get at least some photos of DDI while I still could. So I didn't spend alot of time on this.

You know that texxgadget was one of the brainiacs behind this crazy idea, right? It was actually scary to hear him talking about it, but now that I've seen the pics, I'm saying hell no to future invites to play this.

So, what is the idiot chaoswolf blathering about? I know of no idiot named "textgadget" involved with DDI. And I helped build the insanity! SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM!

So, chaoswolf, what has texxgadget been saying? Wanting to get more than he should get??? :)

Just ask me, I did help build the insanity!

oops,

And so is Rubin!

[chaoswolf]

To clarify, I am not an idiot. Texx is one.

He's been trying to claim credit for it. As usual.

[(Anonymous)]

Texx did in fact work on DDI. He lent a hand at our first fundraiser, and assisted with some stuff during the crazy 2005 pre-FAF build season fiasco. He was quite helpful, and I thought he was a nice guy.

My apologies for the, err, rash reaction of my associate. Steven joined the project more recently, so that explains why he hasn't met Texx.

About DDI's safety -- it's really quite safe. We try to maintain the appearance of it being dangerous because it's more fun that way, but we've taken a lot of precautions to make sure nobody gets hurt. We have a big PDF of our safety plan linked on the website if you want to see exactly how that works.

Awww! I ♥ the DDI kids! So much so that I'm currently in the process of moving in with two of them!
