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.

Thank you for confirming that you are, in fact, a failure as a human being.

Hm, ironic, you're the one who is throwing out accusations here. I think a lot of this stuff is self-projection, maybe you should talk to someone.

Quote from: Rincewind1;652415There are just situations in an RPG that a ruleset will have trouble emulating on the fly, as per the most famous "kicking sand in the eye during fight".
Torg. Trick. It's a skill.

Just because one side is acting like a two year old having a sugar rush tantrum doesn't mean the other side isn't, too.

Ok, please point out to me where I have accused anybody of being a misanthropist or what in my posts, in your opinion, makes me a cowardly, dysfunctional person? I'll try not to act like a two year old in the future but I have to understand where you are getting this impression from first.

You disagreed with them. And that's their typical response.

It's really not that you shatter our worldview. It's just that you are being an obnoxious cunt.

Thank you dr Westeros, Internet MD.

:rolleyes:

Read under whose quote it is, please. And I really already said on the subject here to you what I wanted, and it's obvious we will not agree, so why bother.

Why bother? So you can drop your passive-agressive attitude? Is that asking too much.

Oh no worries, I'm full on aggressive. But your experience - and I also game with random people - about importance of rules, is completely different than mine. So I have no interest in a conversation, because I am not going to move, and neither are you.

PS. Pretending to be a victim and calling out for stopping being so aggressive is passive - aggressive behaviour, Doc.

Nice try, but I'm not the one claiming that people are so abjectly dysfunctional that they can't play a game together unless they're already good friends.

Have it your way. I guess when you don't understand the difference between retaliation and aggression life can be very confusing.
