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.

[Rant] More RPG.net frustrations

Quote from: RPGPunditwait.. i'm sorry.. are you suggesting that the Quantity of posts on Tangency do not equate to Quality?? I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!!

Heh.  Thats a fucking AWESOME cartoon.  I'm going to use it on the next guy who complains on Tangency that Bush is a fucking moron.  :D

Quote from: King of Old SchoolWhen the sheer volume of inane posts and threads in The Pundit's Own Forum causes him to cripple the search functionality for the entire site, and institute idiotic forum-wide mod rules, then The Pundit's Own Forum will have become Tangency. Until then... not so much.

Exactly.  Tangency is directly responsible for some of the more idiotic forum rules.  And it is indirectly responsible for for the lack of decent search capability and some of the recent database crashes.  
 
It might be possible to ignore Tangency, but it's not possible to ignore the effect it has on the site as a whole.

Quote from: HackmastergeneralCan't even recall it.  If you have a link, I'd sure like to see it.  Cause I have never, to my mind, dogpiled anyone.  I've gotten into some heated arguements, and sometimes the person on the other side gets creamed cause they were acting like an ass, posting stupid shit, and gets righteously reamed for it, but I have never particpated in the special breed of "zebra-hyena" shit that pops up on tangency, to my mind.

Now, as someone on the recieving end, you obviously feel like you WERE.  Again, if theres a link, I'd love to see it.  Mostly to satisfy my opinion.  I can remember most of the really big arguements, but I can't for the life of me recall this one.

Go find it on Tangency yourself. I'm not sticking my dick into that fanblade.

I don't know why people get so bent out of shape on the net. Half the problems on any forum stem from people's apparent need to moderate things as if the lack of moderation means that everyone will morph into screaming child molesting nazi racists.

Riiiiight.

You know what?  Fuck that, and fuck you.  I'm not wasting my time trying to figure out if I hurt your fucking feelings.  If I dogpiled you, you fucking deserved it, and it was like, the only one I have any knowledge of, and only because you brought it up.  In my 4-5 years on that boards, I can honestly say I have contributed WAY more positive than negative.  You can't.  

I am not concerned about your hurt feelings over the one dogpiling I may have contributed to on that board, and if I did contribute to it, it was only tangentally.

You want to accuse me of something, but can't be arsed to provide the proof to back it up?  Fuck you.  You don't want to "stick your dick in that fanblade"?  Stick your dick in your mouth and shut the fuck up.  What comes out your dick is about what comes out your mouth on most occasions, and they are worth about the same.

Sure I can. I ran over a dozen well-regarded PbPs, I contributed extensively to RPG Open and was a well-respected member in the philosophy subforum. I even wrote a few reviews of new products. You, on the other hand, mostly hung around in Tangency and played the part of a self-righteous nationalist unless something drastic has changed.

In short, you're a liar. Perhaps not intentionally, but you're lying right now to make yourself feel better. It's obvious, and it's pathetic.

You're descending into gibberish.

It's not that I "can't be arsed" to "provide the proof". It's that I said back at the start of this conversation that I had logged out of RPG.net on principle and had no intention of going back. Asking me to go back to its very nadir - and to go back to a forum that you need to log in to see - was a dumb thing to ask. I suspect you did it because you are a careless reader and thinker.

Not saying I like either one of you two.

 But to be fair to Pseudophedrine - rpg.net is NOT that easy to search as compared to other vbulletin formatr style  forums.

 On HERE and on the  SJG forums I can usually find an old thread or topic if I pick the right word or word combination - Big Purple? Not so much ...if ever.

Pseudoephedrine

It's not merely that it's difficult. It's that I have a pretty openly-stated principled objection to logging into RPG.net, which is required to view Tang. I also dislike going back to RPG.net in general (since I don't want to support Skotos' ad revenues). I've said this many times. It's not a secret. I even said it in this discussion.

Ha.  We can swing dicks all day over who did what.  You were involved in and started more arguements than I care to remember.  Mostly because you had strongly held views you didn't back down from - which is a fuck of a lot better than, say, just coming into threads and swinging your dick around.  That part was played by others.  

I don't have to lie to make myself feel better.  I never felt bad about myself in the first place.  I feel I have contributed to many positive things at RPG.net -
posts to the index, participating in a few PbP (I don't like PbP, so I never got around to running).  Your view of my participation is dim, at best.  But thats fine - you never let facts get in the way of any arguements before.


Quote"I'm didn't do it, and anyhow, you deserved it!"

I don't remember it - so I can't say if I did or not.  But if I DID, I have no qualms about thinking you were acting like an ass.

QuoteYou're descending into gibberish.

I spent 15-20 minutes this morning combing through Tangency, cause I was genuinely interested in trying to find it.  Then I realized - this isn't my ball.  I didn't say anything, and its not worth my time trying to prove Pseudo's shit.

I really don't care what he thinks of me - in the words of Moe, in regards to Pseudo "I'm a well-wisher - in that I don't wish you any SPECIFIC harm."  If he feels bad enough to have a grudge against me, thats his thing - I don't need to prove or disprove his shit.

If I HAD done it, and if it was nasty enough for him to remember, I would feel sorry about it if it were undeserved.  I've always felt that the only people I ever get really pissy at are the ones acting like idiots, and that I comport myself ratehr well in most circumstances - i mean, we all have buttons, and sometimes someone pushes em and we get defensive.  God knows, Pseudo's buttons were pushed more than a few times.  

But I don't really care enough to go scratching for it if its not that important to him either.  

So, what the fuck.  Nothing he says is going to make me feel bad, or whatever.  

And as for Tangency - there was a period where it seemed every game I enjoyed was under attack in every thread about ti, so I got burned out on the RPGOpen flamers for a while and posted mostly on Tangency.  Sorry that offended you.  Don't know where the "nationalist" thing comes from, I mean I'm a proud Canadian, but I would hardly call myself a "nationalist".  I've been vocal in my disdain for those who think Canadian nationalism can be eloquently summed up in a fuckin beer commercial, or that it is being what the US isn't.  And vocal in my disdain for those who wish to attack America for what their idiot president is doing.
 


King of Old School

Point of fact: the search function on RPGnet doesn't work in Tangency (at least according to the FAQ) so it's somewhat unreasonable to expect Pseudoephedrine to go do a search for it... even if he were inclined to log onto RPGnet, which he isn't.

And I agree with Balbinus, this thread should be moved.
