Posting Styles


Off-Topic Discussions


Mine is likely this: I spurt out random comments, seeing if any of them go far, and are funny. I act arrogant, but I'm really just kidding.
It only seems like I'm arrogant 'cause I'm so much smarter than you all.


My posting style depends on how tired I am.
When I'm tired I just post loosely connected strings of information with less regard for grammar and spelling than usual. I don't try to phrase things as well (and apologies to anyone who's taken offense to these posts).
When I'm not tired my posting style becomes a little more thought out and I generally try harder to post with good grammar and spelling. I also try to make it so that my posts are somewhat connected to the topic at hand.

I generally aim for friendly and amiable. Also diplomatic. I like to shut down arguments and remind everyone that we're all friends here. Humor plays a big role in how I post.

All that goes out the window when I'm cranky, though. Oh, you can tell. When I'm in a bad mood, I pick fights and am short to the point of being rude and scathing. Fortunately, it's pretty rare that I'm cranky, and it's usually set off by someone posting something stupid. ;D


Know it all comments framed with humour with added smilies to denote lack of total seriousness :D

I try to push the envelope of shock and vulgarity as far as I can go which I have toned down a bit. I think I'm funny with a certain wit, I don't give a damn about grammar or punc-You know what I'm saying, yeah I run sentences together use the wrong words in the wrong places and prolly mispell a lot of words.

But I can wax it and just love to tap it. Some of you are Gods to me It is a honor to be here with such a open community of Funny,smart,witty warmhearted folk out there. I love to come here and Laugh

Or so it would seem, hell one of you could be the most demonic serial killer to walk the earth for all I know! imagine the DM Serial Killer, leaves d20 and miniatures behind....ok that's long e'nuff ....

My chat style is...

Well, I don't rightly know. There's probably more truth in the way others might define it. For me, it just is. Sometimes it's a one liner. Sometimes it's a page bursting anecdote. Sometimes it's heady or honest introspection, and sometimes it's pure satire. I suppose my chat style is kind of a spin the wheel and see what you get sort of affair.

The decimation of the Cayuga river by industrialist isinglass manufacturers. Some people want fish bladder glass, and they don't care who they have to kill to get it.

Darn those flippin' Swedes...but Stockholm is so beautiful in the Summer. Definitely better than Wurzburg, and that is a very nice place to visit.


You're all a part of the conspiracy with your "no comments" and your mention of places that celebrate Franconian dialects.

Down with Isinglass! Up with Isis' ass!

Barsoom has the hotties. They're oviparous, but they have breasts.

Gazoo!!! Crush Gazoo... stupid damned ratings plot device.... Really I HATED that guy.

Then again I also feel that Barney should have beat the hell out of Fred a few times. Possibly even to death.

Huh! Maybe it's just that I have "issues".

I for one would never stoop so low as posting on these filth and porn ridden boards.


Flith and Porn!!! I'm in.

Spoiler:
Just let me detach this and we can have some real filthy porn!

The only guy embarrassed is yourself, for you failed to manipulate me into becoming a smerph, the only man/woman who managed that in this thread is you.

Step 1: Voice my (unwanted) opinion.
Step 2: Voice how much my life sucks.
Step 3: Leave out something important

Step 1: Make a reference to an obscure line from a film no one has heard of.

or

Step 1: Unintentionally offend someone.
Step 2: Make a series of posts apologizing / restating.
Step 3: Voice how much I suck at life.

Okay, that's it, I don't take insults!


I think I sort of vascillate between being a regular bloke and being a pretentious intellectual, just like in real life. When I'm in my regular bloke mode I try to be funny, but I have an odd sense of humour and it doesn't go over too well. Or maybe I'm just not funny :(

Now that I come to think of it, even in real life people rarely laugh at my jokes. Either they look at me quizzically or just kind of go "heh." Every now and then though someone genuinely laughs and I know I've met someone who gets my humour...


I try to avoid overly intellectual and lecturing commentary with only middling success. As posts go on, my thought process begins to scatter under the assault of my brain's multitasking, leading off to strange/oblique/eccentric points. If not distracted, my post is a stream of oddball logic. Conclusions are somewhat humorous with apologies when necessary or even when not.

Short posts are pure humor.

No posts made when angry, due to need to smash things and the computer can't afford to be destroyed by me just now.

Liberty's Edge

I frequently post when I'm angry or depressed, leading to posts that tend toward the absolute, the egocentric, and the generally-pissed-off-about-something. However, posting makes me feel better, so I almost always have to append the posts I make when I'm angry or depressed. Complicated, yes?


1. Ridiculous off-topic nonsense (sometimes a little "blue").
2. Occasional attempts to be helpful/give or seek advice/chime in on a topic.
3. Advertising recent artwork/shows in relevant threads.
4. Half-hearted promises to update campaign journal "soonish".
5. Big Lebowski quotes.

Yeah, well that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Liberty's Edge

Never really given it much thought. What do you think?

I tend to write as I speak. Informally and to the point (calling a spade a spade, if necessary), and if I can help it, never seriously.

If someone annoys me, I’ll bury them in kindness and verbosity. The angrier I get, the nicer I become.

I tend to edit my posts at least twice after posting (including this one). I take spelling and grammatical errors on my part as a personal affront.

I dislike revealing information about myself, and often cancel long posts which provide too much insight (though I’ll leave this one) into my nature.

I've edited this post six times now and thought about deleting it twice. YOU KNOW TOO MUCH! The Androsynth showed themselves, and something noticed them. There are no more Androsynth now. Only Orz.

The Exchange

I tend to try for chatty. But I do re-edit for punctuation and spelling, so I'm not very spontaneous. Faux chatty, I guess.

Yeah, but Harvey Korman provided his voice. In every dark cloud there's a Harvey Korman.

I have to work a Live Chat channel for tech support, and it astounds me the people that use leet speek when they come in.

Maybe its because I'm older and remember things like Quake: Team Fortress and IRC, but if you have to go to Tech Support... you aren't computer-savvy enough to use leetspeak, lol

Good morning all !

My questions are the following : I subscribed a while ago to Pathfinder. Is it only for the first six issues or more? Do I have to renew my subscription every month to receive further issues? Or does Paizo send me Pathfinder until I tell you to stop? (which is a good formula because unless I'd go bankrupt I don't think I'd stop it, given the high quality of gamemastery products => D0 and Pathfinder PG are awesome)

To sum up: how does subscription work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bran.

In the Star Wars Expanded Universe novel "Death Star", there is a character that uses the alias "teh roxxor". No joke.

Have you ever read the works of Jhonen Vasquez? Because you really sound like him in that post.
