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.

We're the idiots, and yet none of us have to quote the same quote twice to try to get a point across.
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.

Quote from: RPGPundit;630786The tragedy is that you don't even understand how that makes you broken, and isn't something for you to be proud about.

I don't drink, don't smoke, never took illegal drugs, never was arrested, and an whole bunch of other stuff that's common for people these day. All by choice.

I'm good with it. You on the other hand seem to have major issues with it. So much so that you are effectively breaking your own board's rule by following a poster around from thread to thread and harassing him. Interesting that.

Poor little cartoon. Can't even be consistent.

Quote from: gleichman;630780It's actually during travel time between the sectors of the MMO I'm playing. Browsing the web in general kills that deadspace.

And laughing at you of course, always a pickme up.

Quote from: gleichman;630787I just don't take gaming seriously. It kills time on the side.

Congrats.  This night isn't a total loss thanks you to just admitting that you're here only for site disruption with no real desire to have an actual conversation.

You can't have a conversation while waiting for other things? Or state serious opinions while doing so?

You're very limited.

You just said you come here when you're on down time just to laugh at Pundit.

I come here when I have to have the rare conversation when thing's aren't derailed by him and people like you. And to keep track of the general state of the hobby hoping to see some change. That's a foolish hope, but what the heck.

But when Pundit is involve in my threads (and he nearly always butts in at some point to insult me), it's to laugh at Pundit.

Less than a 7th of yours, and done over the same length of time. Plus do some data mining, you'll find that they're in bursts (as they match up with a less rushed real-life schedule).

Who has a fixation on the subject and who visits when he has nothing better to do again?

Yes, those bursts are from the times you've declared you were Leaving and Never Coming Back to this Horrible Place.

Everyone that's not a cartoon character gets burned out on the stupidity here now and there. One takes a break and hope for a change in population. Sadly, you tend to drive away the goods ones and replace them with clones of yourself (like say Benoist).

In fact, I'd almost say (but don't really see the point) that Benoist is your sock puppet with you again breaking your own rules like you are now by harassing me from thread to thread. He gave that up, and look here- you've picked it up.

However, again if you data mined rather than knee-jerked you'd find that my breaks are more often unannounced than otherwise.

Quote from: gleichman;630787I don't envy anyone in the hobby, or really anyone in any field. Respect, yes. Envy no. Compared to someone like Audie Murphy for example- you just don't rate.

Bold part is by me.

This is pure comedy gold!  Shine on you crazy diamond. :D

RPGPundit

How funny. He can't tell human beings apart. Why am I not surprised?

And you can try to cover up your humiliation however you like, gleichman, but you kept saying you were gone forever, and then kept coming back. Because you have nothing and no one else.

You're not a human, by your own words you're a made up characture of online personna. A lie, nothing more.

The only insight into the real person behind the keyboard is that they are small and petty enough to acutally do such a thing.


Quote from: RPGPundit;630928Because you have nothing and no one else.

You have no idea, and really you couldn't now could you?

Bored now, you may have the last word in this thread little cartoon- and let's see if you keep following me around whining elsewhere. It's almost entertaining that you attach such importance to something I consider so insignificant.

Yet another successful thread derail by gleichman. I thought this was about voting XP for roleplaying? There were some interesting points made earlier too.
"These children are playing with dark and dangerous powers!"
"What else are you meant to do with dark and dangerous powers?"

Quote from: that muppet vince baker on RPGsIf you care about character arcs or any, any, any lit 101 stuff, I\'d choose a different game.

Erstwhile

So, um...yeah.

I generally give the same XP to everyone in games like D&D.

In games where I do give "group XP with the occasional individual award", I don't put it to a vote.  And the individual awards tend to be for things that are important in-character rather than for role-playing, if you see what I mean.  Whether it's role-played in first person with funny voices, or just narrated in a monotone, I don't much care so long as it's interesting to the game and significant for the character.  

Of course there are other awards available too - in L5R I might give a bump to Honour instead of an extra XP, for instance.
