I wholeheartedly disagree that either Trump or a snake oil salesman can be classified as charismatic. Convincing, persuasive, encouraging to idiots, all those seem accurate but charisma implies positive characteristics and they don't have any.
It's meaningless semantics in the end but either way I will never use that word to describe Trump.
Sadly, this is not how charisma works.
I agree it SHOULD be a positive trait aimed towards those it impacts... but Charisma does not translate to imparting positive aspects to those it's impacting.
It's functionally coercion through charm.
Charisma =/= good... unfortunately.
That being said, I don't understand how the Orange diaper stain is considered charismatic. Boggles the mind.
It never occurred to me until just now that it's unusual for the Grim Reaper to be depicted without legs like that. This looks like an EverQuest spectre.
Man, you got me thinking about trying Project Quarm again. I've only ever played a tiny bit on private servers, but it seemed fun, and I want to give it a better shot.
I played Project 1999 for a while, but much as I loved the game back in the day, I don't have the time to deal with such a group-heavy game any more. I see Project Quarm stops with Planes of Power. I quit the game (the first time) after Legacy of Ykesha, so that era's pretty close to what I remember the game being like in the old days. Did you ever play EQ Live in its heyday?
Nah, the only legit EQ I ever played was a bit of 2 when that was still relatively new, and it seemed interesting, but my friends ended up pulling me in a different direction.
Yeah, WoW after the first couple expansions helped me realize that some of the difficulties and obstacles in MMOs are important because that's what pushes you into the social side of things, and if you're not interacting with the social side, you're just playing a really grindy RPG.
Maybe we really should be saying "Thank you"
It turns out having the charisma of gonorrhea, is not great for politics
It works for Trump
Trump has a ton of charisma unfortunately.
He's just charismatic in the same way a snake oil salesman is.

He dumb, they dumb. He knows the language.
well, I think the world underestimated how stupid so many people in the USA got
Not fair, he's a Nurgle cultist
When's Trump's door?
Sadly, I think trimp is immune. Like he is the queen xeno and jd is the chest burster.
Time to pull out the power loader then.
Trump, or rather American conservatives are the source, and they have a high tolerance.
I wonder if he asked Orban If he even said thank you.
Not surprised the current pope rejected his invitation.

Props to you for playing even a little bit of the OG, then! It's horribly dated today, but being forced to group to survive made lifelong memories.

There should be a davenport door.
