For the record, I love palladium.

Quote from: jeff37923;391269Aleister Crowley types that I've met tend to be divorced from reality in minor to major degrees. They believe that they can conjure demons and perform black magic, kinda like the antithesis of a fluffy-bunny wiccan. You've probably met one if you have ever had to deal with someone who thinks that the Necronomican is real and not the product of H.P. Lovecraft's horror fiction.

Heh.  Many years ago I've met one person who thought the Necromonicon was real.  They were playing in a crappy heavy metal band at the time, which did all that cliched "satanic" stuff (ie. upside down crosses, pentagrams, cheesy evil sounding lyrics and song titles, etc ...).

More recently I ran into this person by chance at a nearby mall, and had a short chat.  I came to the realization this person was still into all that cheesy satanic stuff, despite looking more "respectable" these days (ie. no heavy metal t-shirts, no ripped up jeans, normal clothes, etc ...).  Though at the same time, I noticed this person's pupils were dilated and track marks on their arms.

Quote from: Saphim;391262Seriously, please knock off the creepy gamer on the internet routine.

What routine?

Don't you prefer to game with people that you find interesting or attractive in some way?  Situation is helped because she is also single at that time and we had fun talking.

Also I can't be a "creepy Gamer", because the young woman went out with me a couple of times. (Longer story about mismatched work schedules  - but thats not relevent to the thread)

I was presenting the idea that I might be the extreme opposite of "Deadulus" (that was the guy with extreme bias against Palladium players - right?) Instead of instant dislike of Palladium players, I am inclined to give them a chance or even be biased towards liking them.

Sadly for Koltar, it's not an act.  If I had a daughter I sure as hell wouldn't let her be around him.

Oh has she now? Well then all is good because no woman ever went out a couple of times with a creepy dude by mistake and then came up with some excuse for not going out with him anymore.

And for the record, no, I don't care whether the people I game with are attractive or not, showered and enthusiastic is all I really need.

Some women also have real self esteem issues that make them go out with undesirable men.

Wait a minute.

It's alright for Daedalus to lump all Palladium gamers as CatPissMen, and arbitrarily decide not to play with any of them, but unredeemable that Koltar likes to game with attractive women?!?

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with some of you*?

(*even gay men like gaming with attractive women, as it tends to attract yummy-looking men to the table for them to gawk at.)

YEAH!!

 What he said!!

Now that I think about it - even tho I'm a straight guy I'd game at a table with a good-looking guy if for no other reason he'd be easy on the eyes  AND possibly attract women to game at the table.

 Why can't it go both ways damnit??

Actually, I think the large majority of us don't give a damn about who either game with...

First, I didn't call you CatPissMen, I didnt say Palladium players smell like piss and behave badly, I said Palladium players have a style of play that I do not think is good and I don't want to play with them.

I have said it before and I will say it again, they are more then welcome to game, they are just not welcome to game with me.

With the gamer pool of our hobby shrinking, you don't want to make gamers play with people who they wont have fun with.   That's a sure fire way to send people running from the hobby, something the hobby doesn't need.

I dont want to game with gamers who can't hang with me.   This hobby is about having fun.  Bad gaming is not fun

Quote from: Captain Rufus;391260So the wide variety and styles of play of D&Ders are valid, but every Palladium gamer all plays the same way?

From the games I have been in with Palladium players, yes they do.   And it's a playstyle that isnt fun for me and this hobby is supposed to be about fun.  So why let gamers with a playstyle that was fine when I was starting out but isnt anymore play in my group and ruin my fun?

So no more chances, they are banned.

Me neither.  I'd rather get back to KS getting sued into oblivion.

Fun fact.  There's a video on YouTube from a Palladium Open House where KS shows off his entire bookcase full of burned music CDs.  I wonder if all those are legitimate copies?

I saw the video.  I would laugh if Trion's lawyers asked "Uh, did you pay for all those cds that you have burned?"

If he didnt, I would love to see how he talks his way out of that one

I guarantee you could find yourself in a group of people - all of whom have played Palladium-whatever and without you asking (or them lying to you), you'd never know the damn difference.

One thing is that fatbeard boy is always dropping these hints about what a laides man he is and what a big badass he is. He's always talking about girlfriends and how he tells people he doesn't approve of to "just walk away" form his games and how he was picked as a bodyguard form some un named trek celebrity to keep the "fhanboys" away.

I mean, PUH LEEZE! His bullshit just gets on people's nerves with him always claiming to have girlfriends and to be a badass. Christ, I know at least one person who'd dearly love to give him a chance to prove what a badass he is in person.

Also, he once had an avatar of him standing next to some woman in costume, and she looked like she was about to gag.

So that's a big part of why some people hate him, he's just so stunningly full of shit it annoys some people.
