Nerd(Eddie)

[Guest Ψιτιsτηε Βεsτ]

To day, ladies and gentleman, we determine the long argued, but always known, outcome of whether @Edema Rueis or is not a nerd. Those against the accusation of nerd, would you please identify yourselves. 
Those in support of the claim, please identify yourselves.

This is a court. Any Tom foolery will be dealt with through the United States legal system.please understand that if you have something to say, you must ask the judge permission to interrupt, or wait your turn.

I support the claim that Edema Rue is a nerd.

However, as her self-proclaimed therapist, I have discovered, and am afraid to say, that logical evidence seems to have no effect on her.

I propose we settle this legal case quickly to give her legal status as a nerd, and then move onto convincing her of that status once it has been assigned.

Also, why is this in the RP subforum?

Yes. This is your punishment for abandoning 'My Turn' when the plot was just getting good.

I would also like to testify that Eddie is, in fact, a nerd.

Evidence being our pfp's, and discussion over them this evening.

...But why?

The evidence is unignorable.

I mean, go look at the SUs where she and J. Magi are ranting about Arcane as we speak.

@J. Magi, back me up.

EDIT: She ninja'd me and backed me up before I asked.

As I think about, I meant to put this in the general fiscussion, not the role Play. Maybe it could be moved if it should be?

@The Bookwyrm how do you define a nerd?

Hm...it's impossible to define precisely. I'm not going to go to the general "google it" definition, as that will not serve our purposes here. Additionally, there are certain parties in the world that the status we are reffering to is not "nerd", it is "geek", but I feel as though in this specific setting the difference is arbitrary.

Essentially, for our purposes, a nerd is one who has a great interest and investment in a specific interest, such as a hobby or form of media, to the point that it becomes an aspect of their personality (not always in a bad way.) These interest are usually not exclusive, and in fact, many nerds grow to develop multiple areas of interest over their lives. It's what allows them to grow into such amazing people.

Eddie has proven that she has many interests that she holds great investment in, and they serve to define her character and help her grow. They help her form freindships and bond with those who share those interests, as so neatly evidenced by the Arcane discussion SUs.

With this evidence taken into account, the only conclusion is that she is indeed a nerd.

If more evidence is required, I'd be happy to organize a search through her content history to find more.

EDIT: [Also psst @Experience get over here as soon as you can]

Hmmm, a compelling argument? A reply from @Edema Rue?

We should make it a roleplay, otherwise I’ll just fade away and ignore your silly little “logic”

Eddie is a nerd!!!

If this is a roleplay, I don't know if I'll be able to be super active in it. But I fully support the cause.

I feel like if it's a roleplay it's all of us roleplaying an intervention with Eddie.

As per my stance on the "Eddie is a nerd" debate.

Deep down, I do think she is one.

However, she says she has reasons for claiming not to be one.

Until those reasons are revealed, I will not make a militant stance either way...

My moral code consists of making sure people know their most important identifiers.

Nerdism happens to be one of those.

Well, if we're actually going to RP-ify this...

Bookwyrm re-entered the room in an immaculate suit. 

"I have a question for the accused," he said, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Though I don't think the word 'accused' is appropriate in this case...it is stated that you have personal reasons for not self-identifying under the qualifier of 'nerd'. However, I have yet to hear those reasons stated, in all my time aware of this case. Can you please list those reasons?"
