This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. 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.

Pathfinder? Good/bad?

Wait.. I've double checked... yep, you're insulting folk's intelligence in this thread.

No, I mean that bullshit of demanding an explanation for something, then when you get that explanation pretending...I don't know, that it's too "intelligent for you to understand."  So that the thread just become sabout you and your stupid "I'm a puppetmaster, I can make people post." three-year old nonsense.  That bullshit that you do that makes Politics so fucking intolerable.

I mean seriously dude, are you just here to troll and cause problems, or are you here to talk about RPGs?  Are you just trying to derail this thread?  Because right now, that's all you're doing, is intentionally derailing the thread.

For what?  So you can avoid saying "Oh yeah, I get it."?

Also, CavScout, I'm not sure how you have convinced yourself that you've insulted my intelligence, but when you say "Get the Mensa decoder ring." it sounds like you need someone to dumb things down for you.

So, if that was supposed to be an insult to my intelligence, then it really backfired.  The only person whose intelligence you are slighting with a comment like that is your own.

I mean seriously, I thought you were just being a dick and refusing to acknowledge that I had addressed your point from earlier.  That you were being a troll.  I had no idea you were attempting to insult my intelligence.

Now I just feel vaguely sorry for you, since in your sad attempt to insult me all you've done is imply I'm a genius and that you need things spoon-fed to you on a elementary school level.

I suppose when you stop telling people they are too stupid to understand your points you can then complain about people calling you out on it. Oh yeah, the guy who routinely tells people to kill themselves in unwitty detail really doesn't have the standing to complain, or suggest, others are "trolling".

So...what?  Saying "Get the Mensa decoder ring" is now an example of "calling me out?"  How does that work exactly?

I don't believe you.  I think you're desperately grasping at straws, because you can't simply admit I have a point.

You have a point, it is only those who are stupid don't agree with you, but you mistake having a point with being right.

Do you actually disagree with me?

Can you provide an actual argument as to why?

Quote from: CavScout;259700You mean like back in 162 which you just ignored?

I ignored it because I suspected that you were trolling, and responding to you would just lead to this sort of crap that we're engaged in right now.  You have given me no reason to believe I was wrong in the suspicion.

At any rate, all you did in post #162 was quote a different part of the press release, and then asked a fundamentally stupid question (though I suspect you asked it not because you are dumb, but becuase you are a trolling fuckwit who uses loaded and misleading questions as his primary means of derailing threads).  You asked "How can one argue that the press release is not in reference to the Pathfinder RPG?"

The problem with that question is that no one has argued that the press release does not reference the Pathfinder RPG.  What you were responding to is my claim that a line in the press release, "Pathfinder™ to continue under the 3.5 rules." is a statement about Pathfinder™ and not about Pathfinder RPG™.

Now, I don't want to repeat myself, so I'll just point you back to post #191 where I show the intent of that statement.

So, do you have an actual argument, or are you just going to do your normal troll act and ask another misleading question full of wrong assumptions?

So you'll excuse me when I don't jump to your "demands" that I detail some disagreement when you routinely just ignore them when they are posted.

No, I won't excuse you, because you're making excuses.

You have done this exact thing since you first appeared on this board, this game of refusing to defend your assertion, refusing to provide arguments, refusing to actually engage in discussion.  You just troll and derail threads for your own amusement.

That's why I ignore you, because everytime I don't ignore you, this bullshit happens.  You don't get to use the fact that you have encouraged most people on this board to ignore you as justification to continue in the behavior that causes people to ignore you.

Seriously, if you think I'm wrong, why not just explain why?  Why do you insist on putting all of the effort into justifying why you don't have to or won't explain yourself?

Why can't we actually talk about fucking role-playing games in the RPG section, instead of having this fucking bullshit non-conversation about why CavScout doesn't think he should explain what the fuck he's talking about?

But hey, keep it up man.  I've already reported you for trolling RPG.  Just pile on some more evidence that you're here to lawncrap rather than discuss RPGs.  I would love seeing you get banned.

I think everyone knows you only started posting to RPG after Kyle started giving you crap for only posting to Off-Topic.  And now you are doing exactly what I warned Kyle would happen: you're crapping all over the important part of this site.

Quote from: Jackalope;259746That's why I ignore you...

Wouldn't demanding I provide some answer to some point of yours be the opposite of "ignoring"?

But I guess that is like you declaring "I'm not answering your questions anymore" to Seanchai and then immediately are "answering" his questions and calling him names.

Seriously, you actually call others trolls? Really?

But as Seanchai noted in this post this is your MO. You'll demand something, while ignoring posts, while complaining the other guy won't answer, while answering his answer by calling him a moron, while demanding that someone respond to you....

You fling shit about wildly and then complain when you find some on your clothes.

Quote from: Jackalope;254896No, that would not be a fair restatement of what I said.  that would, in fact, be an asinine restatement of what I said.

The question is: Is Pathfinder compatible with 3.5.  I can run 3.5 stuff in my Pathfinder game without making any changes, and it works fine.  That does not mean I'm not actually using Pathfinder, it means the games are completely compatible.

Anyone mind if I back up Jackalope here?

In the past month or two, we've had PATHFINDER groups play at the store. When they play their game sessions several of them buy 3.5 books directly off of our shelves - because they are still mostly compatible with what they are playing.

One Saturday we had 18 people split into 3 groups playing the game at our store, last saturday it was around 6 or 7 (some of the regulars had schedule problems). One of their players, a housewife, drove all the way up from Louisville , Kentucky just to play in a PATHFINDER game.

Mark this in your notebooks - I'm halfway threough the thread and agreeing with most of what Jackalope is saying on this topic.
