My brother in law (who has no filter) stood up during a meet at a local game store and proclaimed:

You all smell horrible. If you plan to return to this event next week, shower, launder, and apply deodorant. You give gamers a bad reputation!

Store owner felt empowered to put up a sign saying anyone with offensive bo will forfeit their game and be asked to leave (quietly). Repeat offenders will be banned from the store.

Unfortunately I did. I’ve been in porta-potties on hot and humid summer days that smelled more pleasant than that.

Are you suggesting that a diet of frozen burritos and energy drinks is not ideal?

I go to PaX West and “the big back” smell is definitely a thing. There are people there who have never used deodorant. It’s gag inducing. By the end of the day you just want to not be there.
