 |  | Different Types of Explorers
< on 4/1/2009 1:04 AM >
|  | | | Stolen from an old friend I used to explore mines with. Again, I didn't write this, just cut and pasting with a little grammar correction. You may or may not agree with this guy. Just posting it for fun.
It turns out that there are all kinds of explorers out there. Most of them are pretty nice, but there are some types that, just like in the rest of life, are just bad apples. Here's a selection of a few I've run across:
The Eliteists These folks are the ones who will find a location and not share it unless one is part of their little clique. Like they can pass judgement on who can and cannot see a location. It's a free world!
The Mercs These folks will smile in your face and then suck as much info out of you as they can. They don't want to be your friend, they just want to get info from you. But they will sure play the game.
The Looters These guys will follow you into a location and then rape and pillage it. They don't care about history, etc. A lot of the time you'll see their stuff on E-Bay for sale.
The More Important Things To Do Guys Hook up with these fellows and they will leave you in the lurch. Maybe at the top of a mine shaft, maybe at the side of the road... you can never depend on them to show up or stay around.
The Trophy Hunters These guys want only to bag as many locations as they can. They go through a location at high speed, barely even seeing what's there. A lot of the time they will get others to do the scouting. They only want bragging rights. You can bet they have web sites with tons of pics. Just don't ask for directions.

Sorry Descending, I left out another type of explorer...
Dreadlock'd Pantera-Listening Hardass - Cool white guy with dreads and mascara who lives life on the edge. He's a real rebel and you can tell by the way he posts on the interwebz, he can really back his stuff up. Don't mess with him because he's HARDCORE. He is the most original guy on the internet and everyone wants to be like him.

| | | | Funny, I've met all those types before. That being said I'm guilty of once being "The More Important Things To Do Guy". Im my case I chose to snuggle up nice and warm in my bed and continue sleeping as waking up at 4am didn't seem to appealing at the time.

These guys, although rare, are funny as hell to explore with. Almost never owning their own car they hitch a ride with whoever is crazy enough to take them. Showing up usually in;
A.) A suspicious trench coat and nice running shoes or
B.) A windbreaker with tear-away pants...
As soon as you arrive at a location your cover is instantly blown as he/she sheds their socially acceptable skin (clothing) and runs off screaming and giggling things like; "Don't judge me!" or "TeeHee! Can't catch me!"

| | | | People think too hard about this stuff sometimes.
I guess I would say I am a trophy hunter but I do my research and know the history either before I go in or after I have been inside. I simply see only two separate types; verticals and drainers. Other than that classification is not necessary. BTW...I'm no drainer, not my thing.

That would be a kin to "The Merc".
