User:Tangentman

tangentman has been with the Traitor Games since the beginning. Well known for playing strong female characters who won't take crap from anybody, he also will be the first to get on other players' cases if they try 'cheating' or 'godmoding'. He will also call players on it if they 'did not do the research' when it comes to the history or abilities of characters they're not playing (or, in some cases, characters they are playing). It's best not to get on tangentman's bad side, as certain players (including a certain fan of Deadpool) know all too well.

Intelligent, snarky, and insightful, tangentman is a valued contributor to the Traitor Games.

One might say tangentman works from a "Queer Feminist" perspective in his roleplaying choices. The women he plays are mostly strong, independent, intelligent, and powerful. Because the comic book industry is heavily dominated by straight men--as creators, fans, and subjects--tangentman thinks that one less hetero male in the cast brings some sort of balance to the games. His preferred source material includes classic DC & Marvel comics, cult films, Laurell K. Hamilton novels, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

tangentman has hosted Traitor Game IX: It's in the Cards and co-hosted Traitor Game XVI: Whom the Gods Would Destroy with Superheroic.

A certain player's view on tangentman
As a longtime TG player, he's got tenure. And with tenure comes R-E-S-P-E-C-T. tangentman has played in 18 of the 19 Traitor Games to date, and has equal tenure to Joe Acro. You're nothing to him. Barely a scuff on his stiletto heels as he drives them further into your back. You owe him money, big time. He's coming to collect it... in blood. Your blood. Tangentman adds: "Think 'Fassbinder meets Sordid Lives'."

Tangentman says: "I'm touched by your dedication, DP, but I'm NOT taking you to the Prom." The truth is...I think you kids get plenty of "Momma-ing" from Chris Lang & Schornforce. Despite the fact that I predominantly play women, I'M the player who brings the "Daddying" when the kids act up. ;)

He's good friends with Schornforce in real life.
