Quote from: misterguignol;802477I'm not YDIS. (I hear he's taller.)

The White Power thing is funny though. I'm only aware of a couple posters in the comments on YDIS who hold racist views, but they're routinely mocked ferociously for their ignorance. On other forums those dudes post at their racism is never even brought up.

Also, aren't you the guy who was crying about how you were being painted as a homophobe, yet you used the word "gay" as a pejorative in a post on this very site? Oh, here here's your unconvincing excuse for it: http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?p=799891

Maybe that's not your stone to throw from the glasshaus.



I find a lot of the stuff there funny; some of it I feel goes too far. Big whoop

i think you will find that most peoples problems with that were not that he used the word gay but that he insulted one on one gaming you and pundit seem to be the only people who think the outrage there was about the gay sure there were a few but for the most part it was about the gaming itself

Quote from: misterguignol;802537I've never used that word in my life. Or ever thought about your ethnic heritage, for that matter.

Sorry, but your guilt-by-association nonsense isn't sticking. That dog don't hunt.

i thought about his ethnic heritage when i wondered what time zone uragray was in does that count

No we all though the issue was about the use of "gay" but its common parlance and I often find my self about to say it in conversation and five years ago I would have done so with little thought.

Anyway Pundit has been entirely trolled the entire review thread was aimed to get a reaction and it worked. If Pundit had shaken it off or addressed it with more humour he could have gotten away with it. He didn't as the Pundit doesn't really do humour and hates personal attacks (ironic considering it's an internet construct).
Through releasing product under the Pundit pseudonym attacks on Pundit which could be ignored or even courted to generate hits have become attacks on the man behind Pundit and that stings.
Baited, trapped exposed this thread falls into the OP's hand entirely.

Finally in defense of misterguignol. We don't see eye to eye on much (I did at one point advise him to gouge said eyes out with a spoon if he didn't want to read my posts) but he is a genuine poster, he posts useful content, see gothic theme stuff, and whilst he might be a little acidic and has a nasty sting there is no way he is a sleeper agent, sock-puppet, or any such thing and any moves to ban him or any other poster for speaking their mind and pointing out what they see are issues is ENTIRELY AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES OF THIS SITE.
The man behind the Pundit needs to step back disengage their ego and take a look at the actual evidence here. Attacks against Pundit's products or even attacks against the Pundit persona can be addressed, ignored, mocked, but not result in the banning of the poster because that way lies TYRANNY.

hm i guess i must have misinterprated people reactions to the thread then

oh yep i see it now i have no idea how i managed to so badly misread the reactions the first time

Quote from: RPGPundit;802545In that case, get the fuck out of the "magic in AoI" thread, because you don't have anything to say and are not interested in the subject.  You are neutral and not partisan, therefore have no reason to stir up conflict, and you have no familiarity or expertise with the system, and thus can't be of help with the subject matter.  And if you're really disinterested and not acting out of a deep resentment-based personal hatred for me, you'll have no particular reason to just hang around on a thread about a game you don't own and have no stake in.

And get the fuck out of this thread, for exactly the same reasons.

If you don't, I will be forced to assume you are a lying sack of shit, you have an enormous personal interest and a tremendous personal stake in 'taking me down' for whatever fucking reason, and are therefore engaging in site disruption on behalf of YDIS.

Your call.

Wow, that's powerful stuff.

I refer to the absinthe-and-yerba-mate concoction Pundit must be drinking lately, of course.



I do have Arrows of Indra; I hope I don't need to attach it to a lanyard and wear it around my neck in order to have access to this thread.

No, I just can't stand assholes who say "I have no dog in this fight" when they very clearly do.

In forum terms, they're probably the only people worse than the stupid fuckers who go on a thread to loudly proclaim they're above it all and that they're too busy to engage in whatever discussion is happening and how much better they are than anyone else for showing up and telling everyone how little they care.

well i would say those that post links to shock images would be lower then either of those

Also i should point out this is a sockpuppet.


[ADMIN EDIT- text removed to make clear that further sockpuppetry/YDIS-trolling will not be profitable as a way to circumvent a ban and participate in conversation.  Just about everything posted in the removed section that wasn't just extra heaped-on insult is ALREADY written stuff the troll just cut-and-pasted, right here on theRPGsite, and you can find it right here (before anyone accuses me of some kind of cover up)].

Stop wasting my life Prince of Nothing. This is 1 minute i won't get back.

you know im still not sure what a storygame is

also i find it funny that Prince of Nothing is saying that unlike pundit he is not making money off it when he is not making money from him anyway the arsehole pirated it

That's fair on general principle.  Probably an oversimplification, of course.

I still think you'd be better off easing up on the 'fellow traveler' ranting and actually addressing your critics on the AoI matter straight-on.  But I'm not sure that's possible any longer, as invested as you seem to be in shouting and playing the victim.

Quote from: Truth;802667Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

That's a big wall of text you put up there. I'd find it helpful if you clearly state what you think the topic at hand actually is. Include a thesis statement. Maybe put it in bold text.

Also as a side note, angry as you are at games that are derivative you must really hate Fate and all its various derivatives. Do you rant about those as well?

Speaking of derivative, Paizo's current empire is built upon the back of WoTC's OGL. I find it amusing that people mock the OSR often but never mention Pathfinder. I mean, c'mon, give me a break.

I'm not playing the victim, they're playing at being impartial disinterested parties.  
There is nothing to address, because it is very clear that there is no legitimate criticism coming from them, and no answer that will 'address' anything for them, because their goal is not to get to some kind of truth or written out of interest in any process, but is just a blatant and meaningless attack on someone they envy and despise.  

You don't try to play nice and reason with someone who's only goal and only motive is to destroy you out of impotent frustration-rage.

I appreciate your point, but please don't encourage a banned troll from continuing to try to circumvent his ban and keep disrupting this site.
