Quote from: KoltarSett -

 Are you a Drama Queen or what?

My memory is pretty good (better than some maybe)


What the FuQ are you going on about?


- Ed C.

C'mon, Ed, you've started plenty of drama threads on your own...this isn't school, you don't have to throw in to look cool....

Quote from: Kyle AaronOr where he'd like to see the site going would be good, too.

At the moment he's reminding me of this guy we get at our Geektogethers.
"This pub is terrible. Can't we go somewhere else next time?"
"Sure. Where would you like to go?"
"Not here."
"Yes, we've established that you don't like this place. Which place do you like?"
"Not here."
"Well, when you think of another place -"
"I don't want to come here!"
"We have to have the Geektogethers somewhere. You can always just not come... but I'd rather you told us where you do like."
"Not here. This place stinks!"
"..."

HA! Kyle for the win!

Quote from: SettembriniThis site has lost ALL it´s memory.

This is true. But then, all this club needs is a strong door, as we used to say in the 80s.

Ahh, the 80s, alas alas.

Quote from: SettembriniAgain, for the sure-to-come-mockers: I cared about the site and helped build it in a certain way. I have no problems with expressing emotional attachment and disillusionment when such a fine venue goes to hell. THose who mock are the real probelamtic guys. because they hang out in the OT, and have made this a hang out place. It used to be a discussion room. If you have time reading this and mocking this, and see this as your entertainment, then you have already lost. You are hanging out, instead of being valueable to the hobby.

Who's not mocking this?  I mean, seriously - when Koltar or Grubman or Pundit or anyone else throws a drama queen fit, everyone mocks them.  So why would you be immune?

The line between "discussion room" and "hang out place" is and will always be extremely thin (if not nonexistant).  WTF does "being valueable to the hobby" mean, anyways?  This isn't an international RPG think-tank.  We're not here to solve the world RPG crisis or invent a revolutionary RPG or whatever.  Pretty much 99.9% of anything discussed on these boards or any other site is the same old crap somebody else said somewhere else already anyways.  What else were you expecting?  :confused:

You're missing the subtext.

He's admitting defeat.

His own little pet bullshit theory fell on deaf ears, and his dreams of becoming the next Ron Edwards fell apart in a shower of incoherent broken English.

In true wannabe messiah fashion he has to blame his failure to round up his own flock of sheep on anyone but his own idiocy, anything to avoid letting down his own pathetically sensitive ego.

He's already stormed off in a huff once, and now he's returned to find his little ploy failed to garner any further sympathy towards his already battered persona.

Next comes the part where he declares he's leaving forever, then he wanders off to whatever sites he's not banned from yet and bitches about how awful we are, only to return like clockwork every few months on the dot.

I'm sorely tempted to snark, but honestly, disillisionment is a bitch.

Frankly, I've tried to discuss rpgs here from time to time, and never have had any luck. Maybe it's because I play WoD and want to talk about those games sometimes. Maybe it's something else. I just decided to only post when I had something specific to say about games people follow here. That's why I'm so quiet now.

Wish I could offer better advice. Maybe this place will be more inviting when you come back. Could be you just need a break.

Maybe it's because you've not tried very hard - recently, at least. Looking at your last 50 posts... seems like you get pulled in by the bullshit threads, "unicef, child porn and anime", "a damning rebuke of anti-immersionists", and all that. You don't seem to make much effort otherwise.

Focus, Grasshopper, focus! :cool:

Nah, you're right. I haven't tried very hard lately. It's probably because I'm going through a tough time right now, and even though I broadcast it in my blog and, very occasionally, Tangency, I don't really feel like getting angst all over therpgsite. I try to post in-character with wherever I read.

Lately, most of my role-playing thought has been both WoD-based and regarding larps, both of which catch a lot of flack here. Since I don't have all that much to contribute right now, I mostly just read the RPG threads and occasionally post off-topic. Hopefully, I'll have better things to say soon.

Yep, I hope so, too. Any discussion site does best when lots of people try to lead discussions into areas which interest them. Discussion sites don't work so well when just a few people lead and everyone else follows.

Nor do they work if people just bitch and moan and run off in a hissy fit

Quote from: SettembriniAnd, who fought the pretentious idiots destroying our hobby by making it into a self-validation exercise and a lifestyle unto itself.

There is no one out to destroy our hobby.  It's all in your mind

Quote from: SettembriniFighting on would make me look like a moron and troll, as I would need to fight 15 of the most active posters. So it´s better that I go.

No, fighting an invisiable war that isn't happening makes you look like a moron and a troll.

Quote from: SettembriniI can´t tell everyone of you how wrong, mislead and generally uninformed or tasteless you are in RPGs, In my opinion.

Fixed your typo.  Your are not stating face, you are stating opinion

Quote from: SettembriniSo assume I think very lowly of you.

Oh wow, some internet nobody thinks low of me.    Settembrini, you are a nobody.  Get over yourself

Quote from: Kyle AaronNor do they work if people just bitch and moan and run off in a hissy fit

Kyle,

I am glad you survived Settembrini's scathing attack.  I am sure you  had a little cry, but I am glad to see you bounced bad.  

Quote from: Mike S.No, fighting an invisiable war that isn't happening makes you look like a moron and a troll.

Not at all. Don Quixote got a book written about him.

True, but I think Don Quixote has more crediability then Sett.  But that's just my opinion.

Well, it did hurt a little bit, to be honest.

He essentially said everything I'd ever posted was worthless. And truth be told, there are some posts I put some effort into. I think we have a fun hobby, and I try to post things to make it more fun, ideas and techniques and questions and so on.

If you make an effort with something, and then someone tells you that's worthless, you get a little deflated.

But then I thought, "Well, some people like what I post. And anyway, he's German, so there you go."

I still don't know what "kitchen sink psychology" is. Perhaps it's a translation of one of those crazy thousand-letter German compound words.

I'm guessing kitchen sink psychology would be the sort of thing you'd get from your mother - as that's where moms belong traditionally - the kitchen.

That's all off the top of my head and the first thing I thought.... I could be wrong though

The husband thinks it refers to everything but the kitchen sink psychology.
