the correct term is geek, emerald
nerds are more like, lord of the rings fans. which... okay, i'm that too

as for the scripting it is a lot of if (condition X) then (do Y). you should be able to take existing scripts and meld them together at least so you can automate lots of things with one script, if you were to play this game that is

the work is one thing but they need to have documentation so i know what stuff is. i was just guessing. like "get" is a command to pick stuff up, which is fine, but it does not open objects to loot other objects inside them. i don't know what it is (although i don't think i tried "open"...)

Naw, its the other way around. Nerds are people with technical knowledge but no social skills, who might be into things like programming or star trek conventions. Geeks are people with no technical skills but also weak social skills, who might be into role playing in the park with plastic swords, or magic: the gathering.

At least that's my take on it.

Mark Zuckerberg is a nerd.

GRR Martin is a geek.

Lol I believe the term geek originated to describe a person with a wet brain who posed as a wild man biting the heads of small animals for pennies at the carnival.

I feel like geekdom is more of an entertainment fetish while nerdism is about single minded devotion to obscure mental disciplines.
