Quote from: James McMurrayDo you honestly think the majority of the RPG community agrees with Pundit? LOL!

I don't know. With his essential points I think it is possible, and at least not a fore gone conclusion either way.

please ignore

Isn´t it interesting, how Pundit´s accomplishments and messages get more reasonable and liked when he is on vacation?:eek:

Even Levi saw the "Swine" these days...

Yeah, the less you hear of him the more he makes sense. Maybe if he's gone long enough for us to forget everything he's ever said we'll lift his memory on high and liken him to a God.


Nah.

Quote from: Geek MessiahI wish that instead of ranting like a loon RpgPundit would give us a clear outline of what he thinks is wrong with Nobilis.   If he did that one simple thing I think people would take him more seriously.

That would be nice. But there are always his comments in various old threads over at RPGnet, though, a number of which I still happen to have subscribed.

The first 10 pages didn't have any posts by a user named RPGPundit. Can you be a bit more specific?

He wouldn't happen to have been known as Nisarg over there, would he? The first post in the thread says "play Amber instead." The next one is "I hate posts like that, but I'm better than that, so my rule doesn't apply to me." The next post by the person uses the words effette, foppish, and twee.

I smell Pundit, but my nose is broken from too many years as a smoker.

Yes.

Well, there is a WAR and Levi just quit as a mod...post traumatic shock, maybe?

Yup, that's the bunny. He even registered later (as seen here), which makes it easier to filter out assorted impersonators.

QuoteRebecca,

Thank you for posting. I don't think there has to be a conflict between the games. I certainly don't think that people who are playing Nobilis should be playing Amber instead.

Since you agree that your game shouldn't diminish Mr.Wujcik's game (which is certainly brilliant), I hope you agree that the new edition of Amber should be released as Amber, not as "nobilis 2.0".

I hope you understand that while I do not personally care for your game at all, my comments that your game is a "flavour of the month" only refers to the fact that at the moment your game is very "hot" (good for you!), but that part of that success is because of hype and its relative newness compared to Amber (and, granted, excellent production values on your book; while i didn't like the game itself I have to admit it was one of the most physically beautiful rpg books I've ever seen). Also, that in relative terms to Amber we won't know if Nobilis is really a "success" until Nobilis has been around for another 10 years or so.

Nisarg

See... It's stuff like this portion of the exchange between the Pundit and Borgstrom that have me scratching my head.  

Attacking Noblis, I don't have a problem with. Attacking the Borg herself?

I see, in Grimgent's link, a perfectly rational, even polite conversation between too people that see much in common, but one of them has produced something that the other doesn't like.  

To go from that to 'Moron' and worse just strikes me a baffling.  Both of them like Amber they just disagree on wether or not Noblis is an improvement on it. Hell, the Borg even put forth that her concern in the debate was only that Noblis had put food on her plate.

So, again, I submit that the Pundit far overshot his mark with his frothing rage and hit the wrong target. It might be a bit much to expect him to apologize, but he should back down a bit and let this debate finally die down. And next time he decides to take potshots at Borgstrom style Swine, he can either aim better, or hit hard with actual evidence to support the personal nature of his attacks (as he has done in the past with... Baugh. Maybe it's 'game designers whose name begins with 'B' that get his goat...)

I thought I already posted something like this to the thread...

Wow. So Pundit is so repetitive and predictable that I managed to spot him instantly in a large group of posters? From a post over two years old. Wow. Just... wow.

Maybe he asked Rebecca out at some point and she shot him down?

I had too, but without the quote, which to my mind is damning.  I could almost understand if he was calling a comparative stranger a moron, a faceless entity, yet he's had a conversation of sorts with the woman, even a polite and reasonable one at that...

While they are still strangers, she isn't exactly faceless... which makes the personal nature of his attacks rather... :confused:

I didn't need a reference to Borgstrom. Just his wailing about Amber being better than the effette and twee Nobilis did it for me. It took exactly one post. I wonder if he'll see the funny in that.

Nah, he'll think it means he's "famous."
