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.

Define "basket weaver'?

Quote from: mcbobbo;591003Here's a contradiction that ought to be floating around in your own mind:

a) Basketweavers are bad players
b) You possess adequate eloquence and perseverance to argue this point across multiple Internet forums for dozens of hours, at least
c) Nobody seems convinced
d) You continue to try

Why?

Because part C is wrong. Basket Weavers are impervious to logic and reason of course. However not everyone is a Basket Weaver. Just almost everyone. If even one good player gets the message, it was all worth it.

And for everyone else... they are entertaining at least, so their complete lack of objective value isn't a total loss.

Quote from: Imperator;591004I'll tell you what is hilarious. You are.

It is hilarious to see a sad sack of shit crawl out of the woodwork to school us on how a good player plays when it is painfully obvious that you have no actual experience with anything paart 3.5. It is hilarious to see how you boast of being an Internet warrior when you are just a sad laughingstock everywhere. Everywhere. You have failed to persuade anybody, anywhere. You are a laughingstock here, you are a buffoon at the Den, and probably everyone laughs at you every time you show up at a messageboard boasting how no one gets to "your level."

And the most hilarious thing is how, in the process of trying to show how 3.5 is TEH BEST GAME EVAR you make it look like a pile of shit.The more you whine and complain about how it is rotten to the core, how core classes don't work, skills that don't work, spells and feats and... someone who reads oyur screeds can only ask himself, why bother?

You are the worst defender of D&D that ever wrote on a messageboard :D For fuck's sake, D&D was not my favourite fantasy RPG, and 3.x was my least favourite version of it, but you are making me more and more happy of not wasting my time with it EVER. :D

That is why you are hilarious. Probably you don't game as much as you pretend, and if you do, is probably an experience in misery for you and your fellow players.

And you think of yourself as someone who culls gimps :D How are you culling them, buffoon, making them laugh at you until they die?


Seriously, he should stop defending 3.5, because he's making every other game look well by comparison.

3.5 can't be defended with a straight face. It's all humor.

Can you identify a single convert on this site?

Because I do feel that parts were wrong, but I am not thinking 'c'.

Because Mr. GC is only here to troll, that is why.

Quote from: Mr. GC;590989I'm not sure what part of this is most hilarious - the part where a one post sock puppet makes accusations of sock puppetry and is immediately regarded as totally legit,

As was mentioned before by no less than 2 people, no one cares that the person only has 1 post or is a sockpuppet.  He didn't create a phantom site in his link and make up all of those other posts did he?

The fact is, is that even at TGD you are joke.  What was it they said?  The only non-spambot to be banned?  As much as I disagree with Frank on just about everything, it appears that he was 100% right on you.

So you are either 1 of 2 things:  a troll, or someone with legitimate serious mental issues.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

It's possible there are no salvagable players here, which puts this as a strictly entertainment value thing. Then again there is at least one person here capable of holding a discussion without going full retard so perhaps it is not completely hopeless.

In any case if there were a good player here, or more than one I would not identify them as that would only cause them to be harassed constantly by the basket weavers.

And suddenly the Den is a credible source just because it says something that you happen to agree with, that right?

I don't think it's a coincidence that the two biggest supporters of the "Mr. GC is actually a Misty sockpuppet." thing that happened when I first came here are suddenly in support of a different sock puppet with a different accusation of sock puppetry. Else why flip from such a zealous anti sock puppetry stance to rampantly supporting a very obvious one?

One of those S noobs went and made an alt just to troll. Much more believable, don't you think?

Banning someone here for what they said on another site would be a first I think, and probably not gonna happen (unless it was Stormfront or Nambla or something).

However, if you're not Roy, who got banned for spamming "Hi, welcome.", why did you do the exact same thing here?  Playing Roy for Halloween?

Quote from: Mr. GC;591018And suddenly the Den is a credible source just because it says something that you happen to agree with, that right?

No, the real reason they are credible is because in that thread that was linked, there were quotes from you admitting you were a sockpuppet. Can't get much more legit than that, can we?
QuoteI don't think it's a coincidence that the two biggest supporters of the "Mr. GC is actually a Misty sockpuppet."

Wrong yet again.  I said you were a sock of MGuy.  And funny enough, it just came out that one of the things you did to get banned there was spam "Welcome" over and over again to every response, is eerily similar to what MGuy did by spamming "translated" over and over again here.

I don't have any proof, but it doesn't matter.  What matters is that just like Frank said, every time you get called on your bullshit, you whip up this really weird storm of denial and try to change the topic to something unrelated, the whole time claiming victory.

Seriously.  Sit back and ask yourself, "Does anyone actually believe any of my bullshit?"  Because you'll find the answer is no, with maybe the exception of Lord Mistborn, who is just as retarded as you are.  The overwhelming majority of any site you've joined thinks you have mental issues.  That should be a sign that you need to reevaluate something.

I haven't spammed Hi Welcome here. I've used that phrase about... once. Misty, and possibly others used it more frequently.

Quote from: Mr. GC;590997I denied being a Denner. Which is true. What I actually said was that I post there but don't identify with them. Which is also true.
Yes, you did deny being a Denner, that is true.  Which means you were flat out lying.  When someone takes their car to the store to pick up groceries, but claims they don't 'identify' with the other people in their own cars, that doesn't mean the person can legitimately deny being a 'driver'.  Taking actions that place you with a certain cohort means that you really, really are a member of that group, no matter how sincere or vehement your protestations to the contrary.

QuoteYou're starting to see why now what with them entirely unable to handle basic in game scenarios.
It's absolutely not because you insist on wholly bizarre concepts such as  a 'shadow demon' and a 'Shadow Demon' are two completely and fundamentally different things because capital letters.  That can't be it.  It has to be everyone else's mendacity.

And if a person were named Person, you could not handle that person refers to the general sense and Person refers to the proper name of someone whose parents hated them. That right? I figured you'd be all in favor of sperglord pedantic bullshit.

Also, bad liar, stop lying.

Actually, you said it twice, but whatever.

So, for the record, you're claiming you are not this Roy character they're talking about?

What next, Fox News is a quality source of unbiased information?

Basket weavers don't suck at everything?

No sock puppet here. Just a casual gamer who started gaming again recently after being unable to for several years. I was looking for a decent board to participate in when I came across you.

And  you make a fascinating character study in attention whore-ism. Your multiple aliases across multiple boards. All with the same abhorrent and delusional mindset. From your vitriolic attitude, your smug sense of superiority, to your completely unwarranted ego and undeserved sense of accomplishment. I particularly love your motivation, to find the one asshole in the universe who you can inspire to be as great an asshole as you one say. Priceless.

I know attention whores. I employ a lot of them. Hell, in my business it's practically a requirement. The difference between them and you is they provide some value for it. Talent that people are willing to pay for when they exhibit theur "look at me!" behaviors.

As far as basket weavers go, you're just like them except on the opposite end of the spectrum. Selfish, playing only for themselves only you do it through ultra optimization in your own little homebrew world of selfish samples decrying how every other game is broken and ducky except for our one true perfect fantasy Portland

Yes, you've been entirely out of the gaming loop all this time and yet mysteriously know all of this stuff. Uh huh. So, Stormbringer or Sacrosanct?

I've actually neither confirmed nor denied it. Much more entertaining that way, as Mr. Alt accusing people of Alting is directly demonstrating.
