Quote from: KoltarBut seriously - do a search on the user name "Dominus Nox" and all will be revealed. Or just click on his name in an old thread or two.

 On other forums he goes by the handle of "Beatnik Gamer".

ORLY?

Does that mean he has actually written for CoC? Or is he just talking out his arse?

Quote from: SettembriniIsn´t this somehow like Coke talking about Pepsi, whereas us Pepsi-nistas only talk about Pepsi, and how Snapple is not even Soda?

When Coke talks about Pepsi, it's a win for Pepsi.

When Pepsi talks about Coke, it looks like it's trying too hard because it really wishes it were Coke.

It's the Big Brother/Little Brother syndrome - like when people from Milwaukee talk bad about people from Chicago. Ever want to get in a fight in Milwaukee? Tell them they are a suburb of Chicago.

I'd rather be Coke ignoring Pepsi.

And that's about as many bad mixed metaphors and similes as I can muster this early in the morning.

Quote from: Chango Chiwell what's the deal here, I found this site by accidentally finding a blog about RPGpundit, it made me lol, and seeing as I was rejected from RPG.net rather arbitrarily (don't listen to that lying douchecock crackwhoremaster faggot), I thought it would be interesting to find out what this place was about, but really, I don't care, RPG.net didn't really offer me anything anyways, and the forum is populated with so many massive faggots I would've left in another week anyways.

Stop whining about RPG.net, start talking about RPGs.

HG> You do periodically talk about games. Most of the new posters however, have done nothing but whine like little fucking kids about irrelevant bullshit. They need to know this is a site for discussing RPGs, not a site for whining about what happened to them on the rest of the internet.

Kyle used to run stats on how much people posted in the RPG-related sections of this website vs. how much they posted in the off-topic section. Some of these new guys are going to have to write fucking books just to balance out.

To me, RPG.Net is like France -- A very nice place that is somewhere far away, and I enjoy leaving it there.

Quote from: Ian AbsentiaYou don't think...no! Surely he wouldn't do that.

You're right, you're right. That would require forethought and plannning.

Aww... someone ratted out Beatnick gamer on tbP...  Nox was boing pretty good over there. Pretty funny IMO.

I don't think it was really a matter of 'ratting out'.

Although, FWIW, you already know that people from TBP cruise through here on a regular basis, and it's been mentioned repeatedly that Dominus Nox = beatnik gamer.

I go on both, but ratting someone out is pathetic.

It ain't like the old days, paisan. Omerta died the day gamers got their first taste of the OGL. That shit fucked 'our thing' up but good, no one could resist.

I'm with you Doc.

Quote from: SigmundI'm with you Doc.

I'm siding with Doc and Sigmund on this one.  I used to enjoy a good TBP or Forge rant as much as the next guy, but reading the personal messages that Jackalope sent in response to issues he was having with the TBP mods and assorted posters was somewhat sobering.  Here we have a guy who is a self-confessed criminal justice major talking about committing multiple crimes just because he is pissed off at the way he is treated on a RPG message board.  That is fucked up IMHO.  Nobody should take this shit that seriously when they are completely free to walk away from the computer at any time.

And people who compare Jackalope and Pundit are way off the mark IMO.

I'm not making accusations but I've heard on a documentary that many serial criminals major in some sort of law enforcement at some point.  They're either trying to figure themselves out or trying to learn techniques to become better criminals.

I once worked in a supermarket cash office with a girl who was a criminal justice major. She got the ax for altering customer checks* and stealing several hundred $ from the safe.

 *customer writes a check for 10 dollars, but leaves room on the amount line and in the box- a couple of well placed pen strokes and it's 110.00$. The checks are electronically coded before they ever leave the store, and the bank uses a machine to look at them- which reads the MICR code and hits the customer account for whatever is printed there. If the customer isn't wathcing their account, it can pass through without ever getting spotted.
FWIW I've worked for banks as a teller, an account investigator, and a fraud investigator and I am actually shocked that anyone ever gets their money where it's supposed to go ever.

I'm not going to stereotype but from personal experience in dealing with a large number of criminal justice majors (cops, probation officers, some prison guards) but I agree with you in that I've known a few who get into the profession for all the wrong reasons such as the ones you mentioned or even as a crutch for their egos in order to get respect and/or fear from the public (and yes, more than a few people go to law school for that reason too).  Fortunately the vast majority aren't like that though.
