Never have. Never will.

Are you honestly saying you have no idea why any one of the various people are saying you are in the wrong? Really?


As far as never have goes, your own words damn you. You went out of your way to bully a new player who did nothing wrong, other than not grasping the whole concept in 5 minutes, which is apparently what you require.  Your whole spiel on the CoM is a thinly veiled tale of your passive-aggressive manner.

So once again, stop being a fucking douchebag, getting your kick by abusing females.

What??


You didn't know that we were supposedly the Hive of Scum and Villany of the RPG world??
(Or was that Vum and Skillany? - I get so spoonerized at times)

No, but you are the first person to use the word "douchebaggery" on me.

BTW, I'm stealing it.

Quote from: whiteyfats;269202So once again, stop being a fucking douchebag, getting your kick by abusing females.

Oh now I am abusing females!?!? *LOL*

Oh this is too much! I wonder what other horrible evil being I will be made into if I stick around long enough.

Quote from: DGG;269190Right. 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.

No but veterans should have thicker skin to withstand the nerdrage that often permeates our hobby.  A majority of us are shoot first, ask questions later.  Somebody should develope gamer shoes that are made to fit on the foot and in the mouth.  *joking*

Quote from: DGG;269190Right 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.

Humor shouldn't need disclaimers.  Your chronicles are more of a rant, and rants by their very nature are always going to be torn apart on the internet.

Just for your information, OWoD Vampire was the only game I read, ran, or even cared about for about 4-5 years and while I wouldn't call myself a Mascarade scholar, I know well enough about the game in all editions save for the newest one.

However, like I said before, many elements of roleplaying are universal and it doesn't matter which game you're playing, or which edition you're using.  The notion that Vampire STs deserve special sanction because "their game" is different is rediculous.

Many elements are universal but each rloleplaying game is unique. Each game caters to specific player tastes and interests. It is to those specific players and Storytellers (specifically V:tM) that I wrote the Chronicles for; at first because I wanted to get some things of my chest and later, because people wanted to hear more because they found my experiences hilarious.

I have no control of the CoM now. It has been on the net for over ten years and has probably circled the globe ten times over. It will probably still be around long after you and I are gone. To see my writing misquoted and taken completely out of context like this is totally hilarious.

And I ask again...What is "nerdrage" and "geek rage"? Maybe if I understood the psychosis I would understand the abusive nature of these posts (not yours. You have been very civil)

C'mon, this thread was dead until you decided to play Herbert West. You have said your peace. Move on and contribute to other discussions on this board.

I'm not sure how they're using it, but it doesn't seem to be either of these definitions. I suspect it may be more general media rage, where someone or something is demonised in the name of news and gossip (which are essentially the same thing with different distribution), and then when the person shows up and presents their side, you experience cognitive dissonance as you're used to experiencing them through the lens of someone  else's interpretation, rather than a human being in their own right, with a life and thoughts of their own and multiple sides to their personality.

And where would the fun in that be?

This thread is sadder than a sodomized clown.

When I use the term "geek rage" it's meant that I'm getting worked up over something only a geek would get worked up over, effectively nothing.

Geek Rage.  It happens on RPG message boards.

^^This.

When I say sodomized clown. I mean a clown that has been sexually assaulted by a human cannonball, a lion, or, possibly, an elephant.
Clown Sodomy. It happens at the circus, and sometimes at birthday parties.

"I'ma make hate to you!"  -Vulgar

Such a fucked up movie.

I'd never heard of that movie until I read that post. I had to google it.  Now I'm going to go read Naked Lunch until I feel clean again.

I think your message more rightfully deserves it's own Motivational Poster graphic than mine does.

Once again, AOS delivers the funny.

Nice work.
