[Rant] More RPG.net frustrations

Quote from: Sacrificial LambDude, you're taking a cheap shot at Blue Devil for no reason. He's contributing to these forums. What's your problem?

'Cause a liar and a shill contributes sooo much to a place. :rolleyes:

I don't see a problem with him pimping his site. He has a link in his sig, as does Levi and a few other people to theirs. What's wrong with that? The more rpg sites we have, the better. After all, if this site went down, then we have other options to go to. At least, that's the way I see it.

And when did he lie? About what? Not that I want to stir shit up, but I really don't understand your attitude.

Quote from: beeberi think that was due to him living with a2k and voice of isaac at the time; something to do with sharing an IP address :confused:

why the fuck i remember that bit o' drama?! why couldn't boozing kill *that* brain cell? :keke:

That does not matter. They Banned a friend of mine, just because one of the other players in the group occasional would use his computer to post there under his own account. Both of them were banned. Then they called him a lier about it.

Quote from: HalfjackOne word: GURPS. The real RPG.net conspiracy is about GURPS.

Yeah. That and saying postive things about RIFTS or Palladium's system or games.

It's not supposed to matter, no. But both of those names were mods (IIRC) back in the day, and Curt's response to being banned for flaming was to sockpuppet back in - since they couldn't IP ban two staff or apparently ask them "Could you maybe keep your vituperative roommate from being a total shit?", they put the rules aside again and let him back on.

If you're enough of a loathsome human being, you get a pass.

Quote from: Ian AbsentiaDefine "fast". I recognise people here who were banned as much as 2.5 to 3 years ago. I had been chafing with various mods for the better part of a year before I began to bail on the place a year ago. Curt was a mod for how long before they finally ditched him? Say what you will about RPG.net, but it has a huge amount of momentum behind it at this point, and nothing is going to happen "fast". Well, unless there's significant financial sponsorship behind it, of course.

!i!

In my 3 or 4 years of lurkdom on RPGnet I have not seen you and the mods disagree really. I do not remember seeing any minor stuff either. Unless you just do not post a voice against them often. Then again, the dozen or so real life friends I have who post there tell me to NEVER Post in Tangacy or whatever it is called. I lurkered there once in awhile, and alot of what I see there would get reasonable people banned fast, except the Mods' friends of course. I stay in RPG Open and D20 forum for a reason.

Nothing. I am just on the outs with him and others because I am no longer a good little solider because I have my own site. Even when I agree with what he says he feels the need to attack me.

Not to mention it's hypocritical to say I am just pimping my site that I have in my signature file when he is doing the same thing for two sites.

He is being ignored by me. I had him on ignore before, removed him to give him a chance but his attacks for no reason leave me with little to no choice.

This ground has already been covered. Blue Devil has justified his/her self and we have moved on. At least the rest of us have. Blue Devil continues to participate as an active and contributing member of the forum.

. . . who lies about his own posts in the very thread he made them in.

Quote from: PseudoephedrineWerekoala is a 100% correct there. I pissed off Curt and left the site rather than get permabanned on some trumped-up bullshit.

Oh jesus christ - both you and Werekoala were shit disturbers of the highest order. Fucking sanctimonious bullshit. Werekoala way moreso than you, but Pseudo, you had some pretty hardcore passive-aggressive and deliberately obtuse asshattery going for quite some time. Werekoala was quite frankly an annoying pissant and the site is better for him having gone.

Werekoala · June 13, 2007, 05:33:45 PM

Love you too, sugarbear.

I was goaded into being any annoying pissant by having the misfortune to take the "wrong" side of any social issue. How DARE I have an opinion that runs contrary to the Herd over there. A herd that I will note you were a member of. As long as we're all in agreement, then everything's fine! Nice way to live. The dogpiles were not a product of me as a person, but of my opinions, and naturally when the Mods happen to agree with the dogpilers, your chances are pretty damn slim. THAT is why I ended up on the wrong end of the ban-hammer.

If I was so bad over there, why am I so not-bad over here? Because I'm not getting constantly slapped down by ... let's see... "annoying pissants" like Jakko, for example - someone who wished death on all my family and friends, and claimed I was an out and out racist (PA anyone?) because I dare to suggest we might want to enforce our laws equally... and he received nothing - nothing - as punishment, not even an admonishment. No double standard there!

You've surely noted the comment in the Off Topic forum about how most of the folks who are ending up over here seem to be of a more right-wing bent? There's a reason for that, chief. Suss on that one for a bit.

J Arcane · June 13, 2007, 05:37:45 PM

Oh he was fun. I had a fun argument with him once about how apparently, according to him, all shooter games are fundamentally racist. In which despite breaking half a dozen rules in the course of the thread, Cessna still refused to do anything about it.

That was fun.

Tell me about it. We don't tolerate that stuff at Animalball. At Animalball we offer all our products for free download and have even started a podcast to discuss issues just like this. Filthy spammers can go to hell-- we only allow people who contribute on Animalball without all the spamming. How dare you, Blue Devil.

Actually, he hasn't, and we haven't either.
