I'll guess if I have to.

I liked Brassman's old guess of "Gishra's Work Shop" until they started all playing Oath. :p

I asked Endress at one of the Chicagos but I cant remember what he said.  I think somebody told me it was 'Gay, White and Single;, but I could be wrong.  One of them does carry around a wooden purse though. Hmmmm....

This was moved here by request of GWS since none of them are full users.  Not that they're going to tell anyone anyway... Very Happy

On King of the Hill...

Hank: I too suffer from a common disease. It's called GWS. Good Workers Syndrome.
Lady: You make me sick.

Thats my best guess. I'd have mad respect (not that I don't already) if it was the case, as King of the Hill is far and away my favorite TV show. <3 Con Jr.

I think I remember in the It's Raining Men article that Moxlotus has/had a girlfriend (who made cookies), so that's probably out.

In addition to those already mentioned these have been guesses:

Gays Wins Softly
Girls With Shlongs
Geeks With Style
Gay White Supremacist
God We're Shit
Go Whine, Shitter
Go...What?...SUBWAY!!!!!

A proper punishment has never been decided for anyone who reveals the true extended name of GWS.  I'd imagine it would involve flogging and force feeding of massive amounts of Hardees and cottage cheese.  To learn the forbidden secret, you must be a member of the team and top 8 at a major event like Waterbury, SCG, Worlds, Origins, or one of the bigger GenCon events like Prelims or $500.  As a result, there are 5 of us who know the true meaning that is "GWS"...besides our parents who thought we were retarded when we created the name 6 or so years ago.

@ Klep-wow.  That is a good one Smile

And Endress does carry around a man-purse.  Yes, he does look like a douche.  Yes, we give him hell for it every time we see him.  I encourage everybody to do the same.  Probably the reason so many of the guesses have "Gay" in them.

I thought people were assuming "gay" was correct because you guys love the cock.  Wink

The W in it probably stands for West, since they're from the midwest. And I'm not as funny as some other people, so I won't make up any retarded names for it.

I wasnt refering to Endress, but to the dude I played in round 3 of SCGP9 Chicago I who ended up T2'ing.  Fisher, maybe?  Endress totally doesnt look like a douche either.  I mean hes got those golden curls you just cant help but want to run your hands through, and those deep blue, nay, azure eyes you just get lost in while playing against him.  I mean, I'd hit it.

I have a hard time believing that a Vintage team name was concieved in 1999.  That was in the middle era of BD before there were any vintage teams.

Who is the founder of GWS and what is your roster and how do you recruit members?

My two guesses were that "W" stood for Workshop Or, since you guys are fond of mocking me (as Endress gencon report showed), that "S" stood for Smmenen or steve - perhaps mocking some comment I made one time.

So, you could have lots of teammates but only a few know what GWS means?  That's not fair.

We weren't a Vintage team in 99.  It was an Extended team Smile  Back when we played with the color "green."  What the hell were we thinking?

It was me, Endress, and Fisher.  When SCG announced the P9 series we asked what we thought were the best people from the Chicago area to join.  Still not sure how Jarvis got on the team though...probably because we needed a deal on foils or something.

I will break into your house while you aren't home and disguise myself as a chair. Then I will leave before you get home, but there will be a place at your table where I was a chair and you will wonder why there isn't a chair there. Then later I will leave the chair disguise on your doorstep and you will realize what has happened and you will be afraid all the time. Helter Skelter mother fuckers!
