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.

Quote from: Levi Kornelsen;415082Now, someone who, while he doesn't like me, has been square with me for years, and has no horse in the race, tells me that, no, the regulars are right, it really does look like I was trying to get him to come here?

...Bah.

Oh, I didn't say that.

I just say you claimed you'd enjoy it if he did. Different thing completely.


Edit: I actually don't know if you wanted him to or not, it can be read either way and depends more on the target than what you wrote. I can see a certain type of person taking it as a interesting test of both their debate skills and nature. People do enjoy fighting monsters you know.

Okay, so someone gets what I was trying for.  Good enough for me.

EDIT: Hunh.  Or...  sort of.  That's even weirder.

Quote from: gleichman;415077By defending theRPGsite- you're defending Pundit and his actions by extension.
Not only the Pundit, but all of my friends here, and myself. All the users who are here day after day and enjoy this place, exchange ideas, review stuff, play some games, and go on arguing about whatever gaming subjects we can think of, even when we get mad at each other, call each others "cunts" and what not.

This place is not only about the RPG Pundit. It's about all these people too. It's about us.

Well put. This place would not be what it is if it was all about me.

Nicely said.

But completely wrong I'm afraid. What would you think of a family the maintained the home and safety for the actions of a mass murderer because they liked having a roof over their heads.

RPGPundit is the face of theRPGPundit- you're (all of you) are background noise and enablers.

The whole point of an analogy is to make something often confused crystal clear. That requires taking things to something of an extreme at times.

Comparing us to people harbouring a mass murderer!

I understand the concept of an analogy but that's out of order even for in here.

Long time ago for the most part. There were some cool posters back then who are gone now (note- there are still some cool posters here now).

I decided it wasn't worth it in the end however, and it won't be worth it until Pundit is gone (and maybe not even then, his free speech stance is the one positive aspect of his ownership of this site and few people could keep such a policy in place).

No mate. You are the ones who enable the bullshit to go on and on by just going on here every six months to bitch at the Pundit and lump us all together at the same occasion, then leave, and keep on bitching about a place you actually don't visit anymore, and don't know anymore, to then bitch some more, only to show up one day to take a huge dump on the site and tell me that I'm an enabler.

So, no. Hell no.

Jesus Christ, man. What the fuck did the Pundit do to you that is still stinging to this day?

Then change it to harbouring someone who kicks little old ladies crossing the street or strangling kittens if you like.

The concept still holds. Pundit is highly disgusting and is just about as bad as it can get online short of the likes of skinheads- and you're keeping a roof over his head in exchange for having one over yours.

Don't be upset when outsiders note that it reflects badly upon you. Because it does.

Well, it seems today that he called me pathetic. So if you're upset with me being here- take it to Pundit. Online that sort of thing tends to draw a response now and then. Nature of the medium.

Gleichman- There is a difference between hyperbole and analogy. Analogies are best used to describe something outside of the audience's normal experience; things like economical principles, cosmological concepts, what-have-you. Comparing someone who types things you don't like about rpgs to a serial killer or kitten-choker is...a bit hyperbolic.

The Mosaic Oracle is on sale now. It\'s a raw, open-sourced game design Toolk/Kit based on Lurianic Kabbalah and Lambda Calculus that uses English key words to build statements. If you can tell stories, you can make it work. It fits on one page. Wait for future games if you want something basic; an implementation called Wonders and Worldlings is coming soon.
