Please translate to plain english, because I do not understand this cryptical message. Also I pereceive serious inability or unwillingness for any factual answer, which is pretty disturbing, but not unexpected.

It´s blatantly obvious he is only here for the war. Or better: for his terrorism.

He never comes for something else.
Which I could live with.

Heck I could live with all forgers and their games.

If they would be upfront and honest about it. But this  pathetic weaseling is disgusting. Weaseling, whining that´s their methods.

And rightfully aggression and contempt is the reaction.

Not all of us are comfortable wearing white suede shirts in public.

If you're referring to the shirt in the avatar pic - I believe its cotton or mostly cotton. All natural fibers and such.

Sett,
No, no. I'm aggressive and full of contempt, too. Don't you notice how mad you get when I call you names, you two-faced hypocrite? You can sling shit, but you certainly can't take it in return. Anyone who fights back is labeled a coward, a weasel, a terrorist or swine. I revel in your naked hypocrisy.

Al,
I was saying that you're being paranoid and unreasonable. What facts would like? I've got plenty of facts. I like facts.

I totally agree with this. Sett, you're out of control.

I see. Well, these are serious conlusions, but you know, I can live with that. Maybe I am paranoid. That does not mean, that what I said is not true.

Nevertheless for the matter of facts. I would like to hear some facts about you, your motivations, your methods, reactions to your methods and your opinion on "dark side" of the forge/indie movement and such things. We can open new topic for that, because this one is seriously derailed. You can of course request something similar from me, if you wish...

Alnag,
I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Link me to a new thread.

So, Luke... Why don't you talk games over here, then? Hmmm?

It's not like there's no common ground between e.g. you and Settembrini. You're both god-damned number crunchin' subsystems-till-you-drop gamist muhfuhs, after all.

So well... new thread is here. I hope, I have placed it correctly. I will post my first questions soon. See you there.

I chime in where I can. If you look at my posting record across all the forums, I don't start too many threads. Most of the time, I'm too busy with BW to get into in-depth discussions about anything at all.

But I confess that I gravitate to forums where myself and my friends are not called names.

I posted here because I recognized Mark and wanted to help him perhaps find a warmer reception. I baited Sett because it's too easy and fun not to.

VBWyrde, my advice to you would be to go and post on some threads (or make some new threads) on the main Roleplaying board, or the Amber board if you like Amber, or the Pundit's board, or even here.  Try a few other conversations.

Quote from: VBWyrdeI'm still trying to get a grasp of exactly what the Indie-Hate is about really.  My impression is, based on the tidbits I'm gleaning, that it has something to do with:

1) a percieved cultishness/snobbery on the part of Indie Designers?
2) a philosophic difference of opinion on the Player Empowerment issue?

Am I gonig in the right direction with this assessment?  

Yes, those are two of the big issues.  Small Press games and publishers like Clash's, on the other hand, do not claim that you are smarter or more elite for playing them, or that other games are inferior, "incoherent", or cause brain damage, and they follow the regular RPG model of Player-GM relations.

You won't.  I recommend leaving now.  I got dogpiled like this by these sorry assholes.  I kept on for several days trying to reason and figure it out, but it just kept getting more and more abusive, more and more crazy.  After a while, you just feel like shit about yourself.

I come back from time to time because there are a few kernels of hope, but those appear less and less often and this kind of bullshit more and more. They never let up.  It's obvious that this is their lives and they will always win these battles.  What cracks me up is their great pleasure in pointing out how socially unattractive and loser-like the people in your pictures are.  But somehow seeing the amount of time and effor they spend attacking all comers, I just don't imagine social winners on the other side of those avatars.  More like the guy from the South Park Warcraft episode.

I recommend you leave now and find somewhere where people want to talk about gaming in a constructive way.

Wel, I was wondering what the fuck HinterWelt was talking about with this thread, and now seeing this one, I know!

RPGPundit, Settembrini, Abyssal Maw - you guys are going troppo, seriously. Calm the fuck down. The guy just wanted to show us pics of his con.

Unfortunately, I can't see those pics because my computer runs on rubber bands and coal. But still, mate - sorry for these cocksmocks. Just tell 'em to fuck off.

If you get your pics up on a normal webpage where everyone can see them, let us know, yeah? This place, just think of it as like a busy train stopped and people are getting on and off. There's going to be a bit or argey-bargey, and the occasional bloke who needs an elbow in his slack belly to make him get out of the way. There's also the guy who leers at the women embarassingly and makes loud comments about their appearance. We call him "RPGPundit." Pay him no mind, he's just single and lonely. We're sending him to deportment school, he graduates in 2020.

Oh for pity's sake Walkerp!!

 I was badmouthed by 3 people on here before I even registered for the site.
Get over it - its not that big a deal.

 To the OP : Hey it looks like you had fun at the con. Stay and post if you wanna stay. Post on some stuff here and there.
 Tho the pics do still make me feel better about my looks.
