This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Let's stay focused on the real issue here:  the possibility that Pundit is a double agent.  There, I've come right out and said what I was coyly hinting at before.  It's clear that not a post goes by where he doesn't mention the Forge or some element of their theories.  Yet with the other side of his mouth he is constantly denouncing these very tactics at one that keep the Forge and their theory in the discourse on the internet.  For a while, it was attributable to his "persona" and basic anger, but when you start trying to argue that the Forge has co-opted the Hackmaster fan base and poisoned future development of the game, that's when alarm bells should start going off, I'd say.

Quote from: walkerpEntertainment, information, revenge.  In no particular order of priority.  Getting the first two (for the most part, when threads I'm interested in don't get bogged down with irrelevant swine-speak like the one I open this help ticket about), still working on the third.

Don't ever change your sociopathic ways.

Riiiight...sure.

 If you believe that - then I'm sure everybody believes that I'm voting for Hilary Clinton next election.

Oh hey, Koltar, I'm glad you popped up. I thought you might find this interesting, if you haven't heard about it already:

walkerp, you're being a fuckstick again.

Which does not change the fact that RPGPundit is a Mirror Ron, a sort of Noam Chomsky to Ron Edwards' Rush Limbaugh.

But you're still being a fuckstick. Go post about rpgs, you silly sod.

This aint the forum for that crap, Walkie.

 You wanna chit-chat that fandom stuff - go in to other media or find me on the orange and fluffy forum.

Most of your posts in any topic seem aimed just to piss somebody off.

So Pundit might exaggerate his persaonality somewhat to make a point - so what . Who Cares.  Most of us figured that out before registering on here within the firsat few weeks of bgeing a forum member.

The War with Forge is his hot button topic  - what you are aaying about him and the "War"  is NOT a surprise or Big revelation.

Excellent work, Koltar!  You have passed the fealty test with flying colours, showing that you cannot be swayed from your steadfast acceptance of authority and slavish sycophancy by shiny baubles or false friends bearing gifts.  I apologize for the nature of the test, but we can't be too careful these days, when even Pundit's allegiance is in doubt.

:eek: :confused:  But aren't we supposed to be confronting the enemy directly, driving him from our lair with rocks and pitchforks?  Walking around it is as good as welcoming it into your home.  The next thing you know we'll have a sub-forum dedicated to cabin boy neck-raping one shots.  Not for me, friend.

Okay, having a look at his posting history, we see that
  • of his last 25 posts, only 1 was directly about rpgs ("random car chase events"; but some, as in the Mark Plemmons thread, are marginal)
  • in the 25 before that, 7 were directly about rpgs
  • in the 25 before that, 3 were
  • in the 25 before that, 4 were
And so on. Overall, he has only one post directly and obviously about rpgs for ever 6 or 7 not. And of those 6 or 7, about 3 are abusing RPGPundit or other posters. That's a rather poor signal to noise ratio. A check of my posts, by the way, gives us about a 50:50 ratio (I don't include rpg theory and dissing Forger games), which I'm embarassed by, I must improve that.

Anyway, three dissing people posts and three non-rpg talk posts for every one rpg post, not too awesome. In a game session of four hours that'd be only 35 minutes of gaming talk, only a bit better than Ryan Dancey's rpg sessions which he says are "twenty minutes of fun packed into four hours."

So basically walkerp's just here to be a fuckstick.

Rightyo, now that we've settled that question...

Those links don't work.

D'oh!  There's another one bringing my ratio down!

 What the FuQ are you on about ??

 On this forum I don't talk about the Klingon stuff much at all. I might joke about it because some people on here already knew about it from other forums.
 Its not "allegiance" to Pundit, its just that jhe's actually right about some stuff.

But your OP trying to skewer him just seems to ridiculous. You know he's the main administrator and what his biases are in general.

Besides somebody over on the Orange & Friendly had already scooped you on the bowling page link . It was old news.
