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.

Quote from: Lord Mistborn;578463You have a lot of cred with me from the Declan incident please let's not be like this. I want there to be at least one mod on this site that moderates.

Shrug.

This thread is rather provoking, i admit, so i'll give some leeway, but you 4 (yes, all 4 of you!) might want to try integrating with the board rather than just kicking the hornet's nest.

Just a suggestion. I'm sure it'll be ignored.

We're arguing yes, but in good faith.

This place has clearly been a bubble for far to long if the response to alternate points of view is namecalling and accusations of mental sickness (even from one of the mods).
Quote from: Me;576460As much as this debacle of a thread has been an embarrassment for me personally (and it has ^_^\' ). I salute you mister unintelligible troll guy. You ran as far to the extreme as possible on the anti-3e thing and Benoist still defended you against my criticism. Good job.

D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

At least I am. No promises about sempai.

Don't play the victim card, mate. We both know this is a two-way street.

If the different point of view is presented as an alternative, rather than a better point of view, i'm guessing much of the butt-hurt on both sides disappears.

Then again, someone is wrong on the internet, right?

beejazz

Quote from: deadDMwalking;578450So you're saying he's being a dumb ass on purpose?  Almost like he's arguing in bad faith or being disingenuous?

If he knows the fallacy it would more likely be an attempt at humor.

and that, my friends, is the money quote.

Just put the fuckers on ignore is my advice.

You do realize that was a joke right. I was directly quoting XKCD there

ORLY?  This is you arguing in good faith?

Quote from: Lord MistbornIf you wonder why I so rarely respond to your posts. It's because I find it hard to understand you through all the cocks you're sucking. Try actually contributing to threads and not sucking Benoist's cock.

Otherwise 0/10 would not be trolled again.

See you in the fall semester.

:nono:

Look dude.  You and MGuy came here and proceeded to do nothing but engage in strawmen and red herrings left and right.  You do not get to suddenly say, "We're doing everything legit, it's these other guys who keep arguing bad faith and call us names." without looking like a hypocritical  douchebag.

Sorry, that's the way it is.  You made your bed and established yourselves with your posting style.  You're going to have to live with it.

To be fair all the post I was responding to was namecalling devoid of argument so their was nothing for me to refute.

Quote from: Kaelik;578446If you really believe that, then you are an idiot. He thinks demand lowers price, which means he never got to senior year of high school, much less ever learned logic.
"If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to lower equilibrium price and lower quantity."

Nothing to refute?  Your statement was in response to me pointing out your hypocrisy by accusing Stormy of using a strawmen when you were doing the exact same thing.  I even had the quotes in question that clearly illustrated you doing it.

Saying "nothing to refute" only means you were caught being a douche, and rather than admit to it, resorted to a personal attack because you couldn't refute it.

You really are something special, you know that?

and I think I walked back and apologized on that one (I had you confused with Marleycat) but now I'm thinking that apology was unwarranted.

This is what you consider an apology?

Quote from: Lord MistbornI get you confused with Marleycat sometimes. You have the same way of posting nothing of substance veiled in trolling.

Wow.  Keep digging.  I expect you to try to position yourself as the victim in a minute, and to ignore all of these examples of you doing behavior that you have said you don't do.
