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.

If This Doesn't Offend You, Someone Will Try Again

Quote from: SeanchaiIt's not the thread or the site, but maturity level of the people posting pictures.

Let's be honest, repeatedly posting pictures of cats because you think the subject or arguments presented in the thread isn't remotely a mature response. It is, in fact, assinine and childish.

But at least you're honest. We now know this is the level of contribution we can expect from you in the future.

You never fail to amuse, although it's getting predictable. Please try to step it up a bit in the future. :D

Quote from: James J SkachI'm more and more convinced that it's not that people all play the same way, it's that everyone assumes everyone else is playing they way they play - or prefers to.

That could be.

But if that were the case, there'd somehow have to be a disconnect between what people believe and what's objectively real.

Quote from: SpikeThe other James pokes fun at my Housecat rant, but seriously: If I want to play at that level I'll find a game about being a mouse, not a game where supposedly I can be a credible threat to a dragon.  

Maybe BESM?

Your posts in this thread are proof of that.

Quote from: James McMurrayYou never fail to amuse...

I wish I could say you were amusing. You're not.

Something else you're not: irritated. If I let some dude on the Internet saying something bad about me get under my skin, I'd be in trouble. Sure, I was bewildered when you posted the first picture - although I obviously didn't agree with your position, you seemed reasonable - but since then, my responses aren't emotional, they're calculating...

I refuse to accept any argument from you that doesn't involve kitties.

Permit me to raise the level of discourse.

Heroism is no more than a chapter in a tale of submission.
"There is a general risk that those who flock together, on the Internet or elsewhere, will end up both confident and wrong [..]. They may even think of their fellow citizens as opponents or adversaries in some kind of 'war'." - Cass R. Sunstein
The internet recognizes only five forms of self-expression: bragging, talking shit, ass kissing, bullshitting, and moaning about how pathetic you are. Combine one with your favorite hobby and get out there!

Oh, I'm sorry. You seem to think I care about how you feel. I'm just here making myself laugh. I'm plenty amusing when viewed from this chair. :D

Now then, enough of the "look how great I am" crap, and back to the delusional rants.

Quote from: J ArcaneSo, now that this site has officially jumped over the shark and dove straight down into image macro hell, where's everyone going to post to now?

Show me on the doll where keetoom pictures with captions touched you...

Since I only get the little red X instead of all of the pictures, I have to guess what they are.  

I think the thread is thusly more fun for me...

Quote from: SpikeLet it go, man. I don't want to talk about wether or not playstyles exist.  I want to talk about the fact that a grown man in good health, regardless of his life expirences to that point should, or should not, be able to kill a wild animal that weighs some 75 lbs ,if it's well fed, by himself.

Not a 900 lb bear, though the evidence is in that YES it is POSSIBLE (not, by any means likely however) to do so.

The other James pokes fun at my Housecat rant, but seriously: If I want to play at that level I'll find a game about being a mouse, not a game where supposedly I can be a credible threat to a dragon.

Yeah, I think you missed the point on that point in two respects.

1-The particulars of the situations (somehow, it seems to have turned into a gladiatorial fight between a buttkicking version of you and a 75 pound wolf)

2-The fact you wouldn't have to play such a person. It's just a power scale. It's not just for heroes. It's for everybody. You decide how heroic a starting character should be. But you have room for weaker characters.
