Why, Mistwell, why? WHY??

Quote from: Pelorus;343536I joined a group of 3 hardcore BRP fans. They had tables for their tables. And loved the whole "cool, we're beta testing some new BRP rules" vibe.

And now...

There's me ("But it's all about the STORY") and another bloke who teaches non-conflict and creativity in a touchy-feely way ...and I think we're winning..

Good for you.  You weaseled your way into a group that was enjoying itself and instead of simply playing along like a normal person, you manipulated the situation for your own selfish ends because you just can't stand the notion of someone playing somehow other than you do.

You post shit like this as if it's something to be proud of, and yet you fucksticks wonder why you get the reaction you do online.

Why constantly talk like anyone these people talk to are complete and utter fucking morons who will do whatever they're told? If they don't like the style, they would most likely tell these two to shove off; if they do like the style, then there is no harm being done.

Do you get pissed off when someone introduces you to a new kind of food, too?

No, but I would get pissed if I started a club for chili enthusiasts, and then some new jackass shows up and starts trying to get everyone to turn it into a curry club instead.

It's fucking rude, and obnoxious.  If you don't like the way the group plays, find another fucking group.  What the hell right do you have to insist on it being something other than what it was?  What the hell makes your fun more important than everyone else's at the table?  Especially when they're all enjoying it just fine?

From the sounds of it, this asshole has already driven players out of the group.  Isn't that the sort of behavior we should be discouraging if we want the hobby to be a welcoming place for new gamers?  Or at least ensure that the one we have now doesn't implode from useless infighting and selfish politics?

Wow. You're a dick!

No-one has left the game. The story-gamers give and take some banter about what they like. The guys abusing the 'box tick for experience' rule continue to do so. The Story gamers provide entertaining narrative on their blogs of the games and- truth be told - we take the best notes.

But, man, such hostility -  I reckon there's something you should examine in there. You know- with some touchy feely conflict resolution shit.

Makes me think you really WISH you were a story gamer...

No, rude and obnoxious is just you.

Do you honestly run groups for non-forgers only? Your way is the only way? That's exactly what you're describing and accusing me of doing. The group is BETTER because it has a mix. But go on, vomit some more...

I recommend saving the amateur psychoanalysis for your storygame circle jerks.

You're not really any good at it.  

If you can't see what's rude about imposing your tastes an an otherwise functioning group, then you've got far too many personal problems to be judging anyone else on that front.

LOL. This is your attitude to anyone having the wrong kind of fun?

I call Godwin.

Quote from: Pelorus;343555LOL. This is your attitude to anyone having the wrong kind of fun?

You illiterate Aspy twat.  This has nothing to do with the "wrong kind of fun", it has to do with imposing one's personal idea of fun on others uninvited.

I'd be just as crass to march into a game of My Life with Master and start demanding the players cater to my desire for a mindless D&D dungeon crawl.

QuoteI call Godwin.

WTF does this even have to do with anything?

You realize someone actually has to use the comparison before you can call Godwin, right?

Or are your basic lingual skills so utter atrophied that in all this time you've failed to pick up this obvious nuance?

Because he's a dick.

This is a fuck-up of a thread from start to finish.

There is some good discussion in here, mixed with some swill.  Like many threads on this forum.

Commie.

Conflicts are best resolved by intimidation and violence. I didn't play D&D for all those years without learning something!

Fuckin' commie.

IME good mix when it comes to Forgey/Non-Forgey normally means the group is willingly to play a variety of games. I don't really see how you can incorporate elements of forge and trad play in a same campaign with everyone being on the same page. And I say this as someone who enjoys Forge games. Thespy type play is of course different from Forge play.

The cognitive dissonance is thick enough to cut with a knife.  Do you grasp the difference between "I run games for a group of like-minded gamers" and "HEY I FOUND A GROUP THAT DOESN'T GAME THE WAY I LIKE SO I'LL JUST GO IN AND FUCK THAT SHIT UP".

You're siding with griefers, and it's making you look like a cunt.

Definitely. Thesp involves profound themes. Forgers are all about a depressing worldview and being super-shock-edgy-cool. Forgers are the emo teenagers of the rpg world.
