Quote from: KrakaJak;268941Some questions for DGG:
Has Michelle ever read your chronicles??

Yes.

Quote from: KrakaJak;268941If you and your group did not enjoy playing with Michelle, why did you continue to do so?

Funny I get asked that a lot. Actually we did enjoy it to some degree. Plus we had many player roster changes over the years. Michelle was a constant. She only missed one or two games total. She loved the game. Michelle was an enigma I simply could not understand. If you like a game, would you learn the game's system? Read the books and such? Ask questions? Share ideas? If your answer is yes, then you are like me and most players I know. Michelle didn't bother to read, or learn the system. Heck, she couldn't even exercise proper bookeeping. I was hoping that one day she would come around but no, Michelle was perfectly content acting like a stereotypical cute blonde airhead walking into a hardware store. She didn't really care so much as to why she was there, so long as she was getting attention.

Quote from: KrakaJak;268941Is Michelle still hot?

Funny. I get asked that a lot too.

Quote from: Gabriel2;268918There's a saying, Worf and Klingons in general are the biggest pussies in the universe.  Why's that?  Because every time the authors need to show something is bad ass, they have them kick the Klingons around.  What really comes across is that the Klingons and Worf get their ass handed to them by every guest villain on Star Trek.  My player was feeling like Worf, only get got to lose his arm every time something showed up.  I promised to try to mend my ways and I try to stay attentive of such things now.

There's another saying:

"When geeks start referencing Star Trek to make their points, it's time to walk away from the debate".

I mean that in the most light-hearted way I can, because I can spend all day quoting Star Trek and other games I have played/GM'ed to make my point too. So in that vein, yes I will be happy to agree to disagree.

More ignoring and fewer responses will see to it...

You are correct, sir.

And his general douchiness continues...


No telling how  many new RPers are driven off by assclowns such as him.





Jackass.

*lol* You know for the amount of insults you guys are throwing at me for being so "mean and nasty" to a newbie RPer, some of you sure have no qualms about ripping into a new member to these forum boards.

Hypocritical much? Or are all new members to this site treated this way?

Only the douchebags.

Sadly, there have been all too many recently.

I have two more posts than you. You are called a douche because you exhibit douche-like behaviour. You bullyed a newbie RPer for no reason other than to fuck with her. At no point did you try to help or explain things, instead you attempted to ruin the game for her out of some passive-aggresive need to feel superior

I have been scanning a few threads lately.  Is there some concerted effort at 4chan to drive their undesirables over here?

Passive-aggressive means that I did not try to address the problems I was having with her directly. I don’t know where you got the notion that I didn’t try to guide her but I did. In fact we all did.

I don’t know where this bent up rage for me is coming from. Either it is something you (and others) have misread, not read at all,  or you all have decided to identify me as the icon of all the shitty GMs you have ever encountered. I’ve GMed hundreds of players for this gaming system with more waiting in the wings begging me to run or play in a game. Some of those people happen to be actual White-Wolf writers and dear friends of mine (one sends me candy every year).

You don’t like the CoM, that’s fine but the anger expressed here is grossly misplaced.

I feel no need to insult you but remember, we already know you are an experienced RPer and so they're not being "mean and nasty" to a newbie RPer.  It's not the same thing.

In all honesty, your "Chronicles" do not give any impression that you were anything but passive-aggressive.  All these people have to go on is the Chronicles and they don't paint a very flattering picture of your group at that time.

Right. So the message here then is to cuddle the newbie and give them warm fuzzy feelings all the time, even when they make no effort to listen to the GM, or read his guidelines and run rough shod all over your game but it is perfectly okay to yell, scream and insult the veteran RPer. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Right again. Unless, you all actually read it with the disclaimers I put in, have some experience storytelling the game in question and oh, what is the other thing?...oh yeah....HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR!....Yeah it is unlikely that anyone who reads it will find it funny. I should have known that ten years ago when I initially wrote it that there is a slight possibility that another audience will find it.

I'll make sure I do an extensive target audience analysis before writing on the net in the future.

Or just not be a giant douchebag, powertripping over a newb, then expressing faux confusion when I, and various others, have called you on your douchebaggery. Grow the fuck up and stop running off new RPers.

These "various others" you speak of are nothing but angry white-noise. My friends did warn me that this site has no shortage of it. I am beginning to see now that they weren't exaggerating. The signal-to-noise ratio is very low.

Quote from: whiteyfats;269195Grow the fuck up and stop running off new RPers.

Never have. Never will. I've been GM'ing and demo-ing games for newbies for years now. I even have an RP to run tonight. Scary huh?
