Hey Kruely, is anyone winning that political thread yet? I can't read it anymore - once Mr. Weiss shows up, I must leave, or I'll do something irrational.Wow, man, I didn't realize he was that much of an unbearable jackass.
The funniest part is I've got him hurling nasty personal remarks at me without making any such remarks about him, although I did gross everyone out at his expense, which is not to admit that I was trolling, but it was a nice side benefit of what I was doing there (I was just defending a reasonable view posted by Kirth and I).
I've had a run-in or two with him also, and I gotta agree with your opinion of Mr. Weiss. I never even insulted him, just disagreed with a bit of snark and he was ranting about my low parentage, class, intellect, etc.
The shame of it is that the internet makes people feel like they can say anything they want to anyone without any issues. In real life if he had stood in front of me, I really doubt he would say stuff like that, just because face-to-face people usually show more respect to people and also because if he said those things to my face.........Well let's just say I'd probably get locked up.
The whole 'edition war' crap has brought a lot of posters to Paizo and I am glad for that but unfortunately there seems to be a lot of WOTC cast-offs mixed in. Sebastian looks like a kitten compared to some of the newbs around here.
Oh well.
I think it's funny that it HAS to BE OUTSIDE THE 4E FORUM.

I don’t think anyone wins those threads.
I haven’t looked at it in a day or two (since the Kruel, Sebastian, Sam, and Dingo four way action) but it looked like it was degenerating nicely.
Yeah … I enjoy Sam’s opinion and point of views on some topics, but sometime he can be a real … well, I won’t say anything I might regret. Ok, to be fair Kruel, you were very much baiting him at one point, but he’d already steered the discussion waaay into the irrational argument avenue … and if you’re going to take such obvious bait …
That reminds my of something; someone did win that thread, it was Shiny with “here fishy, fishy, fishy” and “but I can’t come to bed yet honey. Something is wrong on the internet!”
Love it.

He kinda just stirs it up now and again. It's pointless to argue with him, I think.
I really don’t understand the OP of that thread. He starts numerous threads with inflammatory titles or subjects (most of them variations on the same theme), then gets very (seemingly genuinely) upset when people question his motives or accuse him of trolling. Thing is, I kinda don’t think he is (trolling) but if not I really don’t understand his motive.
Anyway, that thread hasn’t gotten as bad (so far) as it could have, and one genuinely amazing thing has come out of it; someone was accused (probably unfairly) of being a jerk (normal so far) … they responded by being a jerk (still on track) … then actually genuinely and unreservedly apologised without any hint of sarcasm or contrariness that I could detect. That’s got to be pretty much an internet first.

Some guy came within a hair’s width of calling me racist in a thread the other day … I had to walk away. Even cancelled my “I’m walking away” post, it wasn’t worth it. I think that’s how you have to think in these threads sometimes (no matter how f%+*ing mad the ignorant a%!$%!% bastard d%@!~ead m~**~@%*+#%$ makes you).

He has a lot of really insightful posts under his belt and I respect him for that, especially his rules lawyering. I just don't understand why he gets so insulting.
That gay thing with dingo really broke it. I swear to God when I posted that I was grinning like the Cheshire cat and I wanted to scratch a notch in my monitor.
Heh, I wish buying a house in RL was this easy! The $#!^ I'm going through right now,... sheesh!
:)
Had small kernel of a brainstorm.
So, before I waste gobs of time fleshing out,
I ask you, my gentle players:
gnome tinkerers: deal breaker or okay 'trope?
I'm cool with it. Sounds like something I might like to play if I wasn't such a caster/magic lover!
Yoips!

Man I just dropped an anvil on my one of my player's PC's head. I love D&D! The funniest part is that they are terrified of cookware, they were frightened of a giant anvil/altar and now I got to drop an anvil on his head.
Priceless!
And I can claim totally sanity because the module writer included this stuff! I love it!

How'd the anvil trap (I assume trap) work? what's th' damage?
They just did this:
Effect-Attack +5 melee(1d6, debris;multiple targets (drops 1d4 pieces of debris on each target in the room)It describes the trap as a 'net strung up by the ceiling with a number of stones and a small metal anvil, rigged to fall' when the tripwire is tripped. Dude got hit with 2 stones and an anvil for 3d6 damage total.
I'm moving. Who knows what this will do to my posting for the next 10 days.
lol! I had to go get my car inspected;
there was a Reader's Digest magazine; 16 foot great white attacked a surfer; 5 dolphins came to his rescue; beat the great white away with their noses.
I feel like a dick now somehow...
Our party's life reminds me a lot of my army days - short bursts of intense action, followed by loooooong periods of maintenance, working out and performing mundane tasks. And drinking. Lots and lots of drinking.
Heh. Art imitates life? Or is it vice-versa? ;P
