Psycho Shroomerites

Ever meet someone 'in real life' who turned out to be a complete nutjob? Who turned out to be someone completely different then they portrayed online? Who totally freaked you out with thier psychotic behavior? I've come accross a few.
A met this one guy who loved E. He just sat in the corner for the duration of a 3 day gathering and ate pills. It was absolutly disgusting. It was like the part of him that made him a human being ceased to exist. His eyes were like giant glass marbles and his skin has this weird irridescence to it. He was like an alien robot in his own little world. It was estimated that he ate about 20+ pills over the course of the weekend and it just really freaked a lot of people out. The people that he came to the gathering with left him there because they didn't know how to deal with him.
Senate/Tenzor. Pure psycho, attention seeking, criminal behavior.
TripMeister... do I really need to elaborate? I've never met him, but wow. Just wow.
SilverSoul...what the deal with this guy? Most of the time he seems like a really thoughful, well thought out, intelligent kind of guy, but when I met him in real life he was really strange and awkward. But not just kind of strange and awkward... like, possibly brain damaged in serious need of psycological assessment. Like he shouldn't be travelling to gatherings independently...he should have been under the care of responsible adults. I don't know if it was due to irreponsible drug use, or what his deal was. I actually thought at the time that there was some kind of mental disturbance. (?)
What are some of your psycho shroomerite stories?

Never met any of these people in the real life. Who is tripmeister? What is that guy like?
I don't doubt some of these people are socially awkward, I don't think that makes them freaks of nature though.

It's kinda hard to judge people's character when they're on drugs, except for the fact that they can't handle themselves on drugs.
I haven't really been disappointed by any Shroomerites I've met. There have been a couple that I thought I would have a problem with that turned out to be great.

The Shroomerites I've met have been pretty cool. Mind you, I've only met a few in RL. No doubt there's going to be a few psychos on this forum.

He's actually really quiet and introverted. He doesn't say any of the crazy shit you see on here, mainly because he doesn't talk much at all.

Shroomism is actually a super chill guy. He's really quiet and doesn't really say too much, but he's a lot of fun to have around.

I used to say that "i'v never met a shroomerite who i didn't like" Like everybody who i chilled with at gatherings was great. Now i got close to some of these people, and a lot of them i didn't get to spend a lot of time with, and later learned to dislike through the boards.
I think i might have rubbed some people the wrong way irl, just from being incredibly nervous.
SS7 gets a bad rap. He was a really nice guy, boistrous and outgoing. Some described this as trying to hard. At the gathering a LOT of people were pissed at him. I think he was fighting some social anxiety issues as well, except he was also ingesting huge quantities of psychadelics, and exctasy. I don't remember him having to be baby sat exactly, but he was making a lot of people uncomfortable by being too fucked up. Anyway, i liked the guy, and enjoyed spending time with him. but that was just at the one gathering. I'v heard stories about him at other gatherings needing to be babysat, taking a shit 4 feet from the main fire circle in plain view of everyone.

I'd say most of use are the introverted, quiet type. You know, the type that you are...that quiet guy (and in few cases, girl) that hangs out with that friend who knows other people and who doesn't say much when everybody else is around.

I am a long-standing shroomerite who has been to about 5 gatherings or so. I did meet some shroomerites who slightly rubbed me the wrong way but 99% were totally cool and I could chill with them at any time. No bullshit.

This is Silversoul. I normally don't respond to flaming, but this post came across to me as honest constructive criticism, so I figured I'd address it. I'm well aware of my eccentricities. I'm a major lightweight when it comes to drugs, and I have a rather severe case of ADHD. On top of that, I tend to get lost in my head a lot, and not really know how to relate to others. At the last AZ Gathering, I was in a really weird place mentally(I'm guessing the OP of this thread is Slothie). I've been working a lot on self-improvement lately, and feel like I've gotten out of that head space.
Also, I'd clear up something about me supposedly taking a shit 4 feet from the campfire. It was much further than that, and I went behind a tree where I thought I was safe. I didn't count on 40oz walking by from the other direction. If I had had time to think about it, I would've looked for a more remote, secure location, but hey, I had to go. There a bunch of things wrong with that last gathering, and I regret going to it.
Anyway, I don't blame you for being creeped out by me. I creep myself out sometimes.

Hey Silver, this is MOTH. I'm tripping on acid right now and just ruminating over all the wonderfully, crazy people on the Shroomery. Just so you know, I enjoy you and have often thought of the occasion we had at NE 05 to hang out and talk, at the hotel room and later at the campsite. That was years ago, and I'm sure we've both much changed, but weird is okay by me.
I admire watching you "grow" and shift and change over the years via the web. It seems like you are interested in self-improvment and that's awesome. I fucking love it. I hear stories of "taking shit by campfire while tripping balls," and I think: "so what???" I wasn't there but shit happens and I don't think that's a big deal.
The only Shroomerite I've had issues with on an emotional and spiritual level is the one that I saw kill himself. I frown on doing that at gatherings. Taking a shit too close to the campfire just pales in comparison. Like I said: big fucking deal. It's almost laughable to me. Shit happens! If everyone makes it out alive, then it's a good gathering, rumors about "OOOooo...someone went potty a bit too close to the campfire while tripping on lots of drugs and made people feel weird," just seem stupid and petty.
Get over it people! Obviously I was not present at that event but it seems like it was a good time.
Anyway, this could become a ramble, but yeah, overall I've always enjoyed being around Shroomerites, the crazier the better.

I've met well over sixty people from the Shroomery and 95 percent have truly been cool to meet but there have certainly been a few assholes here and there. Not psychos, just people with chips on their shoulders and a sort of alpha-male mindset going on.

shroomerites that are completely psycho in a good way:
Moth- come on dude. You communicate with alien enteties in your head on a regular basis. Your my homegirl, but your crazier than a shithouse rat. In a good way. But you handle your craziness. Like you can be talking to your aliens, and eating 11 grams of mushrooms, and i don't ever have to worry about you wigging out.
Cervantes- I first met this guy he had this big theatric conversation with one of the park rangers, talking about growing up in New Jersey, or brooklyn or some shit where this other guy had grown up. When the guy leaves, he's like "that was bullshit, i totally just made all of that up on the spot"

I've meet two shroomerites.
One was sketchy as fuck, and possibly one of the most paranoid people i've ever met. He had an OTD meltdown,and probably has a puppet or two around.
The other was decently cool, we had a few things in common,but He ended up underage and acted every bit of it.
I'm sure I wigged them both out too, I was doing lots,and lots of psychedelics and well,any other drug I could find, for the past many months. I barely even knew who I was,let alone these two stangers.
I might do a big gathering one day, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. They seemed to have changed much over the years,for the worse.

I met shroomism 2nd time he got outta jail in florida, he was chill, we were all sitting around a campfire & somehow my sack & glass piece ended up with him, later that evening we were all around the camp fire again, i was like "hey man who was it that ended up with my sack & glass & lighter???" Shroomism pulled out my works & we all began to pass the glass again.

Motaman was a piece of work!
I really didn't know him here on the boards much but he caught some ride share post i had made somewhere about going to a fest. I told him ok, cool, time passed & about a month or so before the fest i started sending him pm's trying to make plans to pick him up, he would not get back to me. I finally told him that i was not planning on him rideing up with me, bla bla bla. He finally gets back to me & it turns out he was an hour & a half off my path to the fest, so he finally agrees to meet me at a truck stop along my way.
My boss at the time is a huge "Wide spread panic" fan, & on my way up i had to stop at a college & see a show with him, then 2 exits up i had to pick up motaman at the truck stop. So it was about 11:30 when i picked him up at the truck stop.
He was already drunk when i arrive at the truck stop, and he continued to drink more beers as we traveled. I still had another 200 miles to drive before we got to where we were going, i had driven 100 miles before i picked him up. he kept drinking & getting fucked up. I finally needed gas & stopped at an all night po-dunk gas station. Motaman goes inside & buys more beer as i pump gas. There was a scene of some locals who were there out front of the place, one was this older lady who was being friendly & saying hiya to everyone who pulled into the place, they all seemed to know her. Motaman gets into the suv & cracks open another beer, the older lady says hi to him, and he responds with " No, i don't need my dick sucked", i about died right there on the spot. I thought for sure that the rednecks & mexicans out front of this place were going to kill us.
At 3 am we arrive at the festival grounds, motaman is toast by this time. I arrive at the shroomery camping area, i am so tired that i just rollout my sleeping bag on the ground & pass out. Motaman, has no clue, he ends up in the vehicle, wondering where i have gone & keeps calling my cell phone which is in the vehicle, so it keeps lighting up & ringing in front of him, yet he keeps calling it. At 6 am, it is dawn, Motaman finally notices me sleeping next to the car, he begins to push me with his foot to wake me, i tell him, to back off & let me sleep, he keeps acting up & pushing me telling me to get up. ( i had just worked 4, 12 hour days in a row, got off work, drove to a panic show & then to the fest, crashed at 3 am & really needed to sleep some ), so i finally get up & i went off on his ass. Now he is all upset & thinks i won't drive him back after the fest. Bla Bla Bla.
He continued in this mode for another day, untill the others in the camp arrived. They gave him some catus goo, he ate it & puked & triped all night, the next morning, he was like normal & stayed that way.

Yawninganus here. Ha! I saw this thread and had to see if I was mentioned.
I have only been to like 4 gatherings. first one was in Virginia with shroomism and some other people that barely ever post on here anymore. shroomism was a decent guy, but the group really didnt mix well and it was just overall boring... not enough drugs is my guess.
the other ones have been Bonnaroo, where I met capitalistic nomad, gillette, johnnyonthespot, anewway2sayhooray, yoschie... and tons of other people that still post on here.
nobody was odd, except one guy that did two huge rails of K and fell over and busted his nose on some coolers... but that was more funny than creepy. I like to think that my online persona doesnt vary too far from my IRL persona. so yeah, i am an asshole IRl probably. the person who I was shitting on when they posted about their sister dying was Paw, and I was more making a point about the sole point of OTD, which is "you dont have the right to not be offended". sure, I wouldnt walk up to paw and say "i want to fuck your dead sister in the ear". not because Im a pussy, but because that would be a purely negative situation as opposed to an online community being challenged to say where they draw the line.
the only person that annoys me IRL from here really is Capitalistic Nomad/zippoz. I dont mind sayign that because I suspect it is mutual. nothing really transpired between us, but more of just an unspoken clash of personalities combined with gut reaction stereotypes...
