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.

Why do people try to convince others that games suck?

Quote from: SeanchaiNope. For example, I recently said they were dumb for missing the whole Kenzer Co thing with the Dragon compilation. I'm just don't blindly hate them like yourself.
Nope.  I recently gave them credit for the OGL.  Touché!  


Quote from: SeanchaiI'm not. Why are you so angry about it? Your posts are far more strident than mine. I'm just having fun at Lancer's expense.
Well I do have a clear agenda. I also just tend to be strident about stuff.  Genetic thing.  You do really go to quite an effort to have fun, I have to say.

Quote from: LancerWhy is Seanchai so angry and why does he insist on trying to tell me what I think?

You can think whatever you'd like. You can say whatever you'd like. In fact, given the entertainment value present when you do both, I highly encourage to publicly continue to do so...

Quote from: LancerIt's easy enough to do online behind your computer and doesn't cost a thing.

If you want continue this conversation face-to-face, I'm more than willing. Where are you located? I'm in Denver, Colorado. PM me and we'll set it up.
 
Quote from: LancerWe are taking a good look at who the real drama queen is.

Dude, when you say that wearing a pink prom dress, tiara, and long white gloves, it kind of has an ironic ring I don't think you intend for it to have.

Seriously, though, you know you posted aggressive anti-3e statements in what pretty much was a pro-3e thread. You puffed your chest out and basically said, "I have strong opinions and I'm the kind of guy who just says what he thinks." More than enough folks have had the same response to your statements that you have to know that there might be a disconnect between what you meant and what you said, yet you're not correcting yourself. So if we stop and ask ourselves why you're doing what you're doing, it's pretty clear that the drama created being a hater is filling some kind of psychological need for you.

Quote from: LancerSo by all means, flame away!

I'm not sure I can top your flaming responses thus far. The lisp when you say, "D&D players are ignorant of better game choices," is cute and all, but it's not really my style. I'd much rather fuck your mother.

Set what up?!  A furtid sexual encounter?  I can't even remember the context of my quote so I'm not sure if I'm up for that sort of thing.

Then please, oh genius for great justice, let us know what the fuck they are.
Quote from: wankerpAnd by agenda, I mean, generally, what are your gaming values that informs your position in this argument.  I've made mine abundantly clear.

Quote from: Pierce InverarityThis site is fraught with agendas, buster.

The texts, the subtexts, the pauses, the fonts, even the orthography... merely forgetting to type the bloody circonflex in "Harn" will get you marked for dogpiling by THE MEMBERS OF THE BLACK LODGE.
