Quote from: Mistwell;333145So, now that your concern is addressed, it's time for you to eat a shutthefuckup sandwich.  Or at least take this shit to another thread, because it has fuckall to do with this topic.

It amuses me to watch you get your asshole all a-pucker when called out on your hypocritical bullshit.

Dance, monkey! Dance!

Quote from: Mistwell;333141There was nothing asinine about it.  Any more than we here have multiple threads about EnWorld for example.

Having multiple threads about ENWorld here is asinine as well.

Quote from: Halfjack;333143Counter-examples:
Government by one man (dictatorship) vs government by the people (democracy).

I don't accept that group authorship is de facto a bad idea and don't see a reason to believe it from a single exemplar argument based on your own tastes. If you have an argument that has sentences, I'm all ears.

I don't even necessarily disagree with you -- I just want to hear the logic behind your statements so I can decide if I agree with THAT.

You want logic from Ed? Good luck with that.

And Ed, any chance you could answer my question? Do you ever raise your issues with 4E with the group or DM you're currently playing with or do you just bitch on here for (hilarious) effect?

Given the lack of support in this one, your increasingly shrill responses, your shifting of responses as I completely destroy your last position, it's pretty obviously you who has been the dancer in this one.  Or at least, we are both dancing, and I am leading you around as my bitch.

By the way, I am still waiting for an explanation for how this is hypocritical.  I wonder maybe if that word means something different from what you think it means? How is my disagreeing with Koltar's opinion in this thread hypocritical with my reposting GameDaddy's post to CircvsMaxmivs? Or is "hypocritical" in your mind a catch-all phrase for "stuff I don't like"?

Come on, dance this way...I know you can!

Quote from: The Shaman;333150Having multiple threads about ENWorld here is asinine as well.

Indeed.  But to be fair, those threads seem to have died down here.

Quote from: Koltar;333134Four or Five of you are mkissing the point. (The 4 or 5 calling me buffoon most likely)

This is incorrect a Buffoon is,
a person who amuses others by tricks, jokes, odd gestures and postures, etc. Or a person given to coarse or undignified joking.
You are an Idiot,
an utterly foolish or senseless person.

Quote from: Koltar;333134What WotC sent out was half baked crap.

Perhaps, but maybe it was taking a stab at trying something new. Perhaps trying to "Broaden their Horizons". (Boy that quote never gets old does it?

Quote from: Koltar;333134YES, I want more DMs and groups playing RPGS, but what they sent out does not really help that goal.

Really because this was an attempt at exposing new players to the "world" so to speak of building/running a game. It may not be particularly successful at that, but its at least taking a stab at it. Can you name another game putting out something in this vein to encourage people to try DM/GMing?

Quote from: Koltar;333134Its a nice shill package for Jones cola with D&D labels, and there is a very nice map and several dozen pre-painted miniatures - but there is no effort at putting something in there that rates a "Game Day".

What the fuck does this have to do with anything. Quit trying to dodge the topics at hand. Whats a matter running out of even the normal semi-substantial drivel you tend to tout?

Quote from: Koltar;333134You've all heard that line practice makes perfect?
 Thats never reeally been totally true. Good or perfect practice makes perfect.
This weird group exercise of making an adventure is bad practice.

This is the stupidist thing I have heard in a while. So if you not good at something give it up because you never will be? So the first game you ever ran was as good as a game you would run today? You havent gotten any better over the years? Are you trying to say your a fucking special little snowflake that was the king of DM's out of the box?

Quote from: Koltar;333140Simple example....

 TV show written by committee/team :
ST: DEEP SPACE NINE

TV show written 85-90% by one guy:
BABYLON 5

 BABYLON 5 was a better show and made more sense.

Thats just opinion. You cannot say one is better than the other. This is more of your commissar ideology. You like B5, I like DS9, my father would tell us that we're both wrong and to turn that shit off, and put on the golf match. It means nothing.

I notice how you didn't bother to link to the correct thread on Circvs Maxmivs.

Nice dodge, that one.

Hey, Koltar has chicks in his group. That's how good he is.

No, they're women you jealous snot.

That must make me a fucking stud then. Well except I dont brag about it. Because its not special. Their just players having fun in the game.

Besides if you held up a mop, a glazed doughnut, and a vagina do you think he could really tell me which is which?

This might be the thread that Jeff and Mistwell keep referring to:

It appears to be a thread that started off by talking crap about Zachary the First, then it morphed into talking about the RpgSite forums.

Babylon 5 is like the anti-example, when it was written by Committee (Series 1 and 2) it was at its best, when JMS got so powerful he became the sole guiding voice is when you got episodes revolving around songs he wrote while he had the flu. Honestly, JMS like many people, works best when he has other people keeping them in check.

C'mon Ed, answer the question. Do you sit there, silently stewing throughout your 4E game sessions, just waiting to come on here and vent, or do you actually say something to the group, or, I don't know, leave?

Excuse me? I linked to the only thread I thought you were talking about.  I cannot read your mind.  If you want to post a different link, then fucking do it (but better to do it in the other thread).
