Pensive and Media Kid are both Mike Church, a recent Carleton grad and current Wisconsin grad student who started posting on the law board after the college board got tired of him.
He recently had a huge-ass mental breakdown after an all-night posting spree making fun of Joe from Caltech, the preferred target for his jealousy. You may know pensive as the guy who views human relationships as equations, believes that if a girl doesn't like him she's "unprestigious" (the corollary to this, of course, is that "nearly all women are unprestigious"!) and apparently has something called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He believes his invention of the game called "Ambition" to be a significant achievement--on par with founding a successful business--and expends a lot of energy trolling for it on the internet, trying to plant references to it in Wikipedia, etc., without too much luck. (Refusing to believe that the game is without merit, he attributes this to un-named forces out there in cyberspace conspiring against him, making repeated reference to a bunch of people he pissed off at Carleton whom he believes are behind this.)
He promised to leave and seek mental help after his all-night ragefest (which he professed not to remember at all the next day), and he actually did briefly stop posting--as pensive, at least. Remarkably, the posting rate for "Media Kid" skyrocketed right about this time, with MK's number one topic being, of course, how misunderstood and maligned "pensive" really is.
After a few days of being subjected to this, a fed-up Carleton alum on the board who knew Mike in person from school started posting excerpts from Mike's online "User File," a Carleton web board where he often argued with people at his school, the main topics being things like his card game, why he can't get a date, and how most women are stupid compared to him. Anyway, he did this in the form of a very funny Onion column by "taking questions" and then answering them with excerpts from Mike's writing.
A few days ago Mike abandoned all pretense and started making the occasional post as pensive again. That's more or less where we stand now.
I hope I've been able to bring you up to date!

Thank you. I honestly do consider it a public service.
(And also, as with the above poster, recommend those links--the first one, for example, is when he was first outted by a College Board poster named Surely Funke--used to be "use a toothbrush"--who went to Carleton and recognized his posting style immediately. Later pwnage, as in Renada Deshada's work on Media Kid = pensive, is also entertaining.)
Google is amazing.

i'd still say he's a decent guy who is put to having to justify himself to such an unrelenting extent that it would alter anyone for the worse. when he's just allowed to participate normally among eveyone else -- and when he doesn't attempt to separate himself - he's quite funny and perceptive. something like inventing a card game is a relatively interesting pasttime. but here it's only portrayed as either idiotic (by everyone but him) or heroic.
he's constantly observing things, and does have a unique, intelligent take. for a math person, he's got an exceptional literary sensibility. it would clearly be better to have his better self around than to drive him away.
still, OTJ has done a remarkable job memorializing this moment in board history.

I don't think he's ever really admitted that he's bad at anything, or that any significant "flaw" in his profile is actually 100% his fault. There's an excuse for everything--like the way he insists that he would've gotten into any undergrad school in the country (despite the fact that he only applied to Harvard and about 3 other not-too-competitive places, and was rejected at Harvard), or the fact that he goes to the #13 math school (claims that people from LACs can't get any higher than that), etc.
The multiple monikers are just another example of that. His very first post on the board was under another moniker "secret21" and he denied that even after it because abundantly obvious that it was the same as pensive, who was the same as Mike Church of Carleton, etc.

It's pretty much a wrap that I could have gotten into Harvard undergrad if I hadn't semi-intentionally blown the interview by admitting I didn't want to go. In any case, it doesn't matter because I was a lock on a more prestigious undergrad, Princeton, if I wanted to go. (At the time I didn't.) This was on account of knowing a top professor there who would have green-lighted me.
Students from LACs can get in higher than #13. In fact, I got into Michigan (#8) and, in a very close decision, chose Wisconsin. My reasons for this were complex and it truly was a 51/49, last-minute decision.
It is somewhat harder to get into the top 5-10 math or science departments from an LAC, but it can be done; I wasn't a strong enough applicant to do so, but I know people who would be. Anyone who wants my thoughts or advice on the matter should contact me in private and we'll chat about it.

Just shut up. You've been discredited. "Pretty much a wrap"--completely laughable.
The above post pretty much lays you bare to the world, with all the cites right there for everyone to see, from the first lie (called "secret21") to the last (called "Media Kid").

Use a toothbrush doesn't make posts repeatedly defending you and saying preposterous things that only you believe, all while writing in exactly the same style you do.
You really don't realize how obvious you are, do you? Back when it was "secret21," she picked you out of the crowd immediately. When you switched to "pensive," GTO and some others knew it had to be you, too. By the time you got to "Potential," "JohnTheJanitor," "Media Kid," and all of your myriad other recent monikers, essentially the entire board knew instantly that they all had to be you.

this probably isn't a great place to repeatedly claim to have effectively picked carleton college over harvard and princeton. but, whatever; i'd genuinely prefer to hear stuff about ambition or moe of the interestingly offbeat stories that turned up in the question&answer thread.
and credit is due for giving an entirely credible take on the choice of a grad school

I would still pick Carleton over Harvard.
Carleton is the top LAC in the Midwest; so if we classify schools according to model and location, it's the best in its class. Harvard loses to Princeton, Yale, and if you place MIT in the same "group", MIT too. Harvard, while hard to get into, is the mediocre college that rides on the coattails of a university that is actually great. Without Harvard University's graduate and research programs, HC wouldn't even be top 20 because its name would erode in status to that of a "merely good" New England college. So, with a choice between Harvard and Carleton, I'd pick Carleton and I'd advise anyone wanting to get a top-notch academic education to do the same.
The only thing Harvard has on Carleton is that it's somewhat harder to get into, and honestly I don't care about ~100 points in the average SAT scores (which is really the only significant difference). You can find great students at both.
Carleton vs. Princeton would be much more balanced, and a very difficult choice. At 17, I would've picked Carleton (obviously) but at 22, I honestly don't know. They're both great and intractibly different.

"Harvard College is actually quite mediocre."
virtually no one says that but you, especially with respect to carleton.
"Do some research, n00b."
the only people he'll find who will agree with you will be other bitter rejects.

Wrong. Everyone elite knows that, for getting an education, Princeton is the best of the Ivies. Yale is next. Moreover, MIT is better than Harvard. Harvard is a great university, but the College has shitty morale among its students, and is basically a four-year yacht party for rich people who don't want to have to work hard (with a few hard-working kids who utterly resent the general atmosphere). There's nothing wrong with that-- for some people it's quite a valuable experience-- but it's not ideal if you want a serious academic education. For that, you want one of the "academic five": Chicago, Princeton, Swarthmore, Carleton, and I forget what the other one is (one of the LACs).

He didn't get into any of the top math programs. Went to a softbatch LAC for undergrad, the number 13 (yawn) school for grad school, and brags incessantly about once getting honorable mention in a math contest based on work not aligning particularly well with what is considered "real" academic math.
You put it together.

Yup. He thinks people from LAC's are somehow blacklisted from those kinds of programs because LAC's don't have classes that go far enough, or something. (It's basically just an excuse.)
You're way the hell more prestigious than pensive, for sure. Didn't you build a goddamn laser?

I forgot about the laser thing.
That "not enough classes" thing is silly. Anyone looking at grad school from a LAC should be doing all independent study/research by senior year. If anything LAC kids have an advantage cause its easier to get a first authorship.

The card thing would be awesome if he didn't try to impress us with it, or constantly promote it, or constantly exaggerate its popularity and so on.
I don't know what you mean by literary sensibility, but his writing style sucks ass. I find it near impossible to suffer through his pomposity and extremely sterile way of wording things (don't call a woman outstanding and attractive...just say you wanted to bang her).
You keep saying he's great when he drops the self-promotion and such, but when the fuck does he do that? Even when he was claiming severe depression, he remarked about how prestigious mental illness is. That's absurd.

I only brought up Ambition during the Joe Caltech flamewar, though others bring it up (usually to ridicule it) on occasion.
If I find a woman outstanding and attractive, I'll describe her that way. I agree with your comment on my writing style to the extent that I seem to lack as much range as I wish I had. I have a tendency to insist on precision and correctness from myself such a degree that my writing style becomes somewhat fustian, pedantic if you will. My speech is slightly more colloquial, but really just as bad. I only feel comfortable in one style of diction, which some receive as elevated but most as arrogant.
I didn't have severe depression; I have mild anxiety and depression, and as for "prestigious", I was trying to tie these facts into the prestige schtick, but I don't think it worked. In fact, they're reasons why I need to end the prestige schtick some time soon.

"I only brought up Ambition during the Joe Caltech flamewar,"
And it made you look damn stupid to do so, too. In the "real world" (you know, the one we, not you, live in) inventing a lame-ass card game ain't no Rhodes Scholarship.

That's actually true. But not for the reasons Mike would think.
It could definitely at least become an internet cult favorite.

Those internal memos were a shoe-in for publication. If only Harvard and Princeton could see them now!
Also, "national contest anthology"?

i believe the original criteria excluded "Japanese online gaming magazines, high school anthologies, or student newspapers."
this leaves him with only... hmm... those memos. damn. i've written some memos in my day. even interns get to write memos!
