Hostility? Shit, Shark, you regularly call for the execution of 10's of millions of your fellow citizens and seemingly can't wait for Civil War so you can murder to your hearts content.

Figures that you tough guys can't take the most minuscule ribbing.

To get back on topic, Jeremy Crawford is a credit stealing bastard.

Quote from: M2A0 on August 12, 2024, 12:43:31 PMSo to sum up, you would be wrong. At best he was co-lead designer in 2014. Anyone who was involved with the creation of 5E, knows that Mearls did the heavy lifting and was the main designer.

My PHB says Crawford as lead designer for the PHB. Post a picture of yours if you want to prove me wrong.

I have no motives to defend Crawford or WotC, nor do I sympathize with them.

I never said he wasn't listed as one of the two lead designers in 2014. This entire thread is about Mike Mearls being regulated to alphabetical listing in the 2024 PHB, and not being noted as a lead designer of the 2014 PHB.

Since reading comprehension seems to not be a strong suit for you. Let me repeat; Mike Mearls got top billing in non-alphabetical order as the lead designer of all printings of 2014 PHB pre and post contributors purge. He has now been regulated away from even being noted as a lead designer of the 2014 PHB.

What do you want pictures of? Both 2014 credit pages are easily available to view online, there are only a little over 3k 3024 PHBs in the wild currently, so you'd need to do some serious privateering to find a digital copy of the credits page.

Nope, it seems you guys don't know how to react when someone you hate, dislikes the same thing you do.

If it was a regular poster being outraged about Crawford stealing credit from Mearls this thread would be twice as long and you for sure would have got a good two minutes hate out of it.

I'm going to take pity on you since it looks like you are sophomoric.

Jeremy Crawford and Mike Mearls fucking each other over onboard the sinking ship that is Hasbro/WotC/DnD5E is like a live-action version of Poison'd. It is a disaster epic in its scope to the hobby and thus difficult to turn away from, but it is also just tawdry as your example shows. It does not rise to the level of stolen valor, especially to veterans.

"Meh."

Just like you'll only ask a few questions before you put anyone left of the Heritage Foundation up against the wall?

Shark, you don't get to call for civil war and mass killing and also get to be treated like a normal, reasonable person.

If only there were royalties involved. I bet Crawford did it just to spite Mearls.

Quote from: M2A0 on August 12, 2024, 12:45:55 PMAll I know is that the side who swift boated John Kerry for killing a VC soldier with a BA-40 have no concept of honor, and can always be counted on to take the most heinous position on just about anything.
You shouldn't use the term stolen valor if you don't know what it means. You shouldn't complain about swift boating while repeating the already repudiated nonsense about the couch. You shouldn't bring up politics in a thread that has nothing to do with politics.

Greetings!

Absolutely right, Ruprecht!

My friend, I fear you might have to explain stolen valor to the newbie. My wrecked by bad feet military service wasn't that long - I got an ELS.

Also, I can imagine you chewing crayons, smoking a cigar, and drinking at the same time while mumbling about these people. ;)

Nope, I'm good....

Stolen Valor Act of 2013 - Amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service to subject to a fine, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both an individual who, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds himself or herself out to be a recipient of:

a Congressional Medal of Honor,
a distinguished-service cross,
a Navy cross,
an Air Force cross,
a silver star,
a Purple Heart,
a Combat Infantryman's Badge,
a Combat Action Badge,
a Combat Medical Badge,
a Combat Action Ribbon,
a Combat Action Medal, or
any replacement or duplicate medal for such medal as authorized by law.

Since Command Sgt. Major Walz is being accused of stolen valor by Cpl Hamel, and it not in regards to any of the above awards or badges, you all just must be butt hurt about my post title making your fee fees hurt.

I'm a veteran, I know what real stolen valor means. I don't believe anything you chuckle fucks say on this subject. I've seen how you've treated veterans like Dukakis, Kerry, Cleveland, and McCain. Real patriots respect their fellow  vets. Real patriots don't call for civil war and the balkanization of the continent. Real patriots don't swift boat.

OK, you can cut and paste from Wikipedia, go you.

However the language that you are using sounds like another poster named Monero who got beaten up soundly in another section of the forum. Do you really want to keep up with this "real patriots" substitution for the No True Scotsman Fallacy?
