Quote from: Sigmund;361506You really are a miserable prick. Not just a miserable prick, a miserable prick who either can't read or is too stupid to read before flying off at the typing fingers about shit that exists only in your undeservedly self-righteous head. Plus, you don't even posses the ability to make your irrelevant regurgitations entertaining.

As we can see, making fun of people's contributions is not the way to a happy group or happy players. People can have wildly disproportionate responses to the word "silly" when they feel vulnerable.

Yes. Your point? Where do you imagine I made fun of anyone's contributions? Where, in this thread, have I used the word "silly"? On top of that, how much of a hypocrite do you have to be to then turn right around and do exactly what you are inaccurately singling me out for doing? You come across as a troll at the best of times, but here you're being a real cock, so fuck off.

Quote from: Sigmund;361660Your point?

"I'm just...amused by the folks who snicker at Champion of Honor and then produce ridiculous contributions themselves. That's the trouble with pointing and laughing at someone else's ideas - you'd better be damn sure you can do better."

Do you have a point other than behaving like a flaming asshole that relates to anything I actually said, or are you replying to some sort of conversation that exists only in your imagination? I ask because I'm still failing to see why you are addressing me with this shit. I challenge you to point out where I made fun of, or "snickered at" anyone's contributions. Oh yeah, you can't, yet you are also incapable of admitting that you fucked up, so you fall back on repeating yourself and posting shit that makes no sense most likely hoping that we'll all get bored and move on so you can pretend you didn't let your buffalo mouth (so to speak) overload your hummingbird ass. I would advise putting some actual thought into what you are typing, maybe even rereading it before clicking the submit button.

Quote from: two_fishes;361444I don't know the players in question, obviously, and maybe he really was a twink douchebag, I don't know. I'm willing to take your word for it. But with the games and people I've been playing with the past few years, this would be an awesome player motivation. We would want it to be player knowledge so that we could all set up our characters to play off it in fun and dramatic ways. It could be fuel for amazing games. The players who insisted on immediately turning around and killing the treacherous character would be the ones shitting on everyone's fun.

No offense, but didn't we all determine a few months ago that you were what Pundit would consider a "Swine", just here to convert people over to the cult of story games and The Ron Edwards Way Of Gaming?

No "we" didn't. But if you want to call him Swine, go ahead.

:rolleyes: and people tell me there are no free-roaming pundit flunkies left on this site. wasn't that the same thread where pundit's delusional paranoia flared up and he banned me for being a sock puppet? do you always believe everything you're told?

I believe that was the thread, yes. He banned you, huh?  

Like I said, no offense intended in my offensive comments. So you're not actually here just to push the story games POV?

You know what's scary is how often I find myself in agreement with Pundit on various topics here.  I don't want to look too much deeper into it though...
(*scary places*)

I don't care one little bit whether or not I actually convince anyone. I participate in thread as much to whittle out precisely what my own thoughts are as to understand what anybody else really thinks. I just enjoy discussion. That's it.

Well, personally, I agree with him on many things. Not all the time, but often.
The Pundit's a good guy when out of his intratubes persona.

Quote from: Sigmund;361720Do you have a point other than behaving like a flaming asshole that relates to anything I actually said, or are you replying to some sort of conversation that exists only in your imagination?

Yeah. I've said it twice. If you still don't get it, I can't help you.

So, when someone agrees with the Pundit, that makes them a flunky.  when someone agrees with Edwards and shills his crap ideology on a totally different board, it's just an intellectual exercise?

Just want to see if I'm reading the exact hypocrisy right.  I like to be specific.

The pipe shop in the mall.

Oh you with your ideology this and your hypocrisy that. It's all so serious for you, isn't it? It's kind of cute, in a way, like watching a little dog bark. You have strong opinions about whether or not Han Solo shot first, don't you? It's a real important issue for you, isn't it? Tell me, this world you live in, where everything is an important ideological battle, and a little bit of playful hyperbole can't stand without being "called out", is it any fun? Because it seems to me like a lot of work.
