Well, at least we're not succumbing to any stereotypes about wargamers being creepy and ill suited to contact with women... eh 'milord'...

Welcome to dakka, op, good luck in your project. Can I ask what made you choose this site to locate a shy individual? Do you and the production team hold a certain (likely reinforced by the above post) view of wargamers?

I understand that this post may come across as stereotyping but I can assure you I'm not! I have tried for weeks on sites such as star now and can't find people interesting enough for my documentary, they are mainly people who want to be actors and actresses on that site and that isn't the angle we are going for, my boyfriend is a wargamer but I'm not allowed to use him for this project, he suggested this site to me

I'd love to be of assistance to you milady *kisses hand and bows in the manner of a lord of the northern watch whilst narrowing eyes furtively and offering his wickedest crooked smile*, alas, I am bound by wicked majyks to remain in the far off lands of Umerica, across the Hatlantic Ocean. Tis well you mentioned 'boyfriend' in your response, it may render you a ward vs creepy nerd responses, be assured to elaborate and expound upon this with tales of his rugby playing and former incarcerations at her majesty's pleasure for actes most violente.

Good hunting for that shye nerd for your scheme and should you ever find yourself adrift in the hellish realms of Umerica, over the seas, you have but to call me, I will hear you and attend upon you at once!!

*spins on his heel and vanishes again into the mysts to the tune of Hawk the Slayer*

Dear meangreenstompa, it is a shame that you can't help a lady at her time of need, if I ever do fall upon the hellish realms of umetica I will be happy for you to attend upon me, keeping in mind I have a crazy ex army rugby player boyfriend!
Thank you for responding

Do you have all the Comedy material written down? I'm quite curious as to how this would work, it does sound like a pretty interesting idea though.

Can't we just nominate people for this?

I would suggest purple but he's such a massive drunk that being shy never comes up.

If you would like to nominate realistic candidates then go ahead!

MGS, you've been warned before for posting pictures of yourself on the site.

I hope you're successful!

If only I lived in London...

And was older...

And generally funny...

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka

Medium of death: there's no written material it's a comedy course you will attend and write your own stuff!

Hello and welcome to Dakka Dakka!

Hi welcome to Dakka

Too bad I'm roughly 10,000 miles away lol... I know some great candidates...

Welcome. Hopefully your boyfriend's wish comes true and we convince you to stay long enough to become addicted....

Welcome to Dakka, Emma.

This does sound like an interesting little idea, I must admit, and it's something I'd be interested in helping with but sadly I don't fit the profile (I live in Birmingham and I'm about as far from shy as Tom Cruise is from sanity).

I'm intrigued as to what you aim acheive through such a venture? Are you looking to produce a fly-on-the-wall type of chrysalis to butterfly, feel good documentary of some sort? A kind of shy guy's journey to becoming an outgoing and confident individual over the duration of the course? Or is it more of a 'let's see if we can make a guy off the street become funny' type of deal?

Haha that's a shame!
Yeah we really want the audience to fall in love with the person and will for them to succeed! Fly on the wall in a sense =]

You need only point me towards yonder fly which doth offend thee, milady! I will hasten to smite the foul brigand in your honor! Avaunt, foul denizen of the skies! No longer shalt thou darken this fair maidens presence!

I'm Chef Goldblum and I approve this message!

So, if you ever wondered why female wargamers are few and far between, simply read the above posts! lol.

Good luck finding a suitable candidate, Emma. You'll have to let us know if/when you find them and how where/when we'll be able to catch it.

I'm available over skype for a nominal fee. My comedic "ouvre" generally focuses on victim blaming and deadpan insults.

EDIT: Milady.

Welcome.
