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.

Quote from: kythri;1076070Mistwell:  You got a good source for some black hoods?  They're all sold out in Portland.

I do! The Beauty House in Chicago! Apparently they have a whole bunch of them and their security guard says nobody has really bought them since the 70s so I guess they have a lot of extra stock!

Greetings!

Jussie Smolett has been arrested bythe Chicago Police. He is being charged with multiple felonies. He is a worthless fucking criminal. The police have investigated the case--Smolett lied, and made the whole story up, and the "attack" was entirely fake, and staged. Smolett is a lying, racist, SJW scumbag.

Just watched the press conference with the BLACK chief of police. Are the SJWs going to call him a white nationalist, too?

EDIT: This thread should probably be moved...it's really not about gaming so much anymore. Also if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/jg9vVMNi4N0

Quote from: deadDMwalking;1076071Saying someone 'has no life' hasn't been an effective insult since 9th grade.  I don't know what you would consider 'no life', but I don't mind sharing...
Any amount of time spend on an internet forum is wasted time. While here, you have "no life". The more passionate you are about something on a forum the less life one has.

I hope you are enjoying yourself because forums are only meant to waste time.

Well I see this thread has turned back into another shit show of unrelated to gaming idiocy. I wonder if it can be moved out of the RPG forum and over into Pundit's Forum?

Then we have a contradiction.  If talking on these forums is proof of 'no life', then having 'no life' cannot be used as a justification not to have a conversation.  If it could, no conversation would be happening because everybody here would not be worth talking to on account of having no life.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;1076073I'll take "Shit that didn't happen" for $500
I think it says a lot about you that you can't accept simple factual statements as possibly being true.  Being married, having a job that pays decently well, having kids - these are all just normal things that people my age with college degrees have typically been able to attain.  When I was 25 I was making $35k per year working managing the seafood department of a supermarket while my wife was getting her PHD earning $15k per year as a grad student.  It's not supposed to be a competition; like, I'm sure there are people on these boards who earn more than me.  If Mistwell is a lawyer, he's probably one of them.  According to Google, the median lawyer salary is $115k.  Ignoring inconvenient facts is easy; but choosing to ignore them without contrary evidence seems...strange.  It's not like I'm claiming to be a unicorn.


Quote from: Brad;1076074Seriously, what a fucking loser to post this nonsense. "My mom says I'm handsome."

She does.  I don't think it's important, and I'd expect your mother likes you, too.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she's the ONLY person who likes you.  

But again, not intended to be a competition.  You don't have to believe me.  Calling me a loser because I am doing okay financially isn't going to bother me.  Calling me a loser because I post on gaming forums (and have for a LONG, LONG, LONG time, always under the name deadDMwalking) isn't going to bother me; there are a lot of other people who do the same thing, many of whom I like very much.  Calling me a virgin isn't going to bother me; I have three kids.  Basically, I'm a well-adjusted, secure individual so personal attacks, while I'm happy to address, are not going to make me cry tears and run away.  I know not everyone is going to believe what I say, but pointing out that it is a personal attack (and groundless at that) is amusing to me.  It'd be like me saying 'my hair is brown' and everyone here disbelieving me - you know deadDMwalking and the kind of person he is!  Obviously his hair must be purple plaid!  

I play RPGs.  I spend a lot of my hobby time with RPGs.  I've been doing it since I was a kid.  Like lots of other gamers I also have my life together - that shouldn't be something that invites incredulity.
When I say objectively, I mean \'subjectively\'.  When I say literally, I mean \'figuratively\'.  
And when I say that you are a horse\'s ass, I mean that the objective truth is that you are a literal horse\'s ass.

Googling the exchange rate, looks like I earn pretty much exactly the same as you sirrah - I bet you have longer hours though. :D

So well adjusted you reply with what basically amounts to, "I know you are but what am I?" Pathetic.

You are correct, no conversation is worth having on an internet forum.

Quote from: LouP;1075954I don't know Daniel Fox from a hole in the wall (though I don't especially like what little I do know), but this post sure does look like an attempt at coercion if not blackmail. And you wrote it, right? So, it seems that you gave him the ammunition for this latest salvo. Maybe you should have thought twice before threatening the "nuclear button".

Hmm.. poster with 12 posts suddenly shows up to defend Daniel fucking Fox, a known serial sockpuppeteer both for the purposes of promoting his shitty game and for doxxing people (including possibly himself, making him the Jussie Smollett of the RPG world)?

Quote from: Rhedyn;1076010Idk about that thread. It seems pretty much half hate you, but most of them want whatever you have released anyways because they care more about going after Mearls than people they think are "conservative".

I think in their minds, being a known "conservative" is already "unpersoned" and little further effort is required.

Yeah, but they care about going after Mearls because they think he's secretly "conservative" (note "conservative" here just means "not a full-blown Stalinist SJW").

I have to say, they have made a tremendously good counter-argument there, because it's reinforced my understanding that when Mearls is fired, everyone else left in WoTC is part of the Stalinist-SJW agenda, and will destroy D&D in their fervor. He's literally the only thing keeping it mostly sane.  It must be enormously stressful for him, constantly having to play this balancing act of pretending to agree with everything they demand he pretend to agree with, and altering material just enough to placate the SJWs for the moment without causing actual harm to the brand (which would piss off the corporate overlords) all while walking a tightrope of having to watch every single thing he says, does, or even who he looks in the eye or how he smiles, for fear of any of the entirely hostile office using that as the trigger for an internal coup.

This is completely off-topic. This is not the Pundit's Forum. This thread is ONLY to talk about the RPG industry.

This doesn't just go for you, Shark, but for EVERYONE who is posting anything off-topic. Stop, or quit the thread, or get yourselves banned.
