Quote from: SettembriniYou can tell who is only here for promotion.
By the stench.
And the Avatars.

You're fun-nee. How is it in Setlandonia? Still busy digging trenches, throwing up revetments, forming the forlorn hope?

A shame these don't come any bigger :rolleyes:

You think I should register at the Forge or Storygames then?

I wouldn't even have heard of the majority of 'Forge' games but for the bleating on here. You guys do a fantastic job of advertising for them though.

EDIT: What made me don the 'uniform'? That bile and wank-filled thread on Go Play.

Well, if you show up someplace to fight an ideological battle, don't try to pretend you aren't part of it. Why else are you here? Did you show up to discuss the nuances of the bell-curve?

You're more at war than we'll ever be.

What, because I would like to see somewhere where people who have a love of games in common, if nothing else, spend less time bitching about other places?

Yes, I suppose that does make me an idealist.

First post was about Men Against Fire as it happens.

But you're part of the bitching. You're obviously heavily invested in it. You're doing it now. saying you are an idealist is either delusional or simply a lie.

You could set an example and stop bitching about th people here, goplayer.

What part of bitching ABOUT OTHER PLACES don't you understand?

I enjoy reading a lot of the threads here and spend most of my rpg forum time here. If I feel the urge I'll post, but many people have far better ideas and suggestions that I just enjoy reading. Of late this place is turning into the place where if you don't post what certain people deem appropriate topics your thread will be crapped and your style of play insulted. I couldn't give a shit what games other people enjoy.

Pundit's right to celebrate an anniversary, there are many good posters here. Unfortunately there's a lot of time spent harping on about the past.

You are coming here and bitching about this place. What´s up with that?

Abyssal Maw · September 03, 2007, 03:19:41 PM

We don't want any part of the Go-Play WAR!!!!

(hah!)

Because I'd rather see a wider variety of posters discussing an equally varied sort of topics rather than mods thread-crapping and personal attacks when you don't go with the perceived opinion? If I didn't give a shit then I'd have sacked this place off and gone back to rpg.net exclusively. Which I'd rather not have to do.

Settembrini · September 03, 2007, 03:24:19 PM

So you come here and want to change this place.
Shouldn´t you just go, and play?

Stop talking, go, play!

Was that a genuine laugh there Maw? My own feelings about Go Play aren't the same as many others, but I've already posted about them in the appropriate thread. I'd rather remember that at the end of the day we all play games for fun rather than notion of 'gamer culture' but it would appear you have to be at either end of the spectrum on the issue.
