And if you're using the word Ironic in a sentence aren't you legally required to link it to Alanis Morrisette:-D
No, because she used it wrong in almost that entire song.
In any case, I'm surprised you don't have some Galactus the thread-eater or J Robert Oppenheimer destroyer of threads alias yet.
I confess, no idea who those are :-)
Don't give 'em any ideas.
I sing in a Ladies Barbershop Chorus...
Do you wear the spiffy hat, vest and bow tie, because that would be awesome :-)

I can massage your brain for you, if that helps...
I leave the toilet seat up.
I'll be back.

Hah! They thought I was mad for preemptively shunning the conversation back when religion was first brought up! Fools! Who's mad now?!
And just because you're wrong doesn't make you insane.

I hate when the GM changes the AP after I've already read it. I was looking forward to that part...

Y'all is a legitimate contraction y'all.
Even some language experts agree the English language needs a proper 2nd person plural.
What about thee and thine? English has a 2nd plural pronoun, "you" and the older "ye," but for some odd reason "you" has stolen the spot for 2nd plural subjective and two forms of 2nd singular, "thee" and "thine."
So why not put them all back where they belong?
English had different words for singular and plural 2nd person, much like many other languages.
In the vast majority of those languages, the use of one or the other (or both) took on additional connotations. French, for example, uses 'tu' if the speaker is talking to a friend/child/pupil, but 'vous' if talking to a (singular) adult superior, social 'better', stranger, etc. The use of the two terms stops being merely about singular/plural and gains all sorts of other meanings.
In England, calling an adult 'thou', despite being the correct singular term, became a pejorative. In a court case, the sentence, "I 'thou' thee, thou traitor!", was used to Sir Walter Raleigh, to make it absolutely clear that he was worthy of insult.
So the singular form eventually died out, though at different times in different places. In Sheffield, within a generation ago, a mother might beat her child for saying 'thou' to her, even though she says it to him. "Tha's not 'thou' me! Tha 'you's me!"
So, I guess I shun those who wonder why English 'doesn't have a 2nd person plural', and wants to invent one.
Its kind of sad that everyone seems to want to discuss their topic du jour on every thread, even when the thread has nothing to do with what they want to talk about. Maybe we do actually need "on topic police."
OT: I really dislike the art style in the core books. Especially goblins.

For this, you ought to be shunned until the end of your days. There is no excuse for this.

It would actually be more interesting if it didn't always lead to someone saying "Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Now you see the violence inherent in the system!"
Edit: I don't know if you can rightly call two groups of people screaming at each other a debate.

With the exception of Captain Yesterday I certainly didn't read it as two groups yelling at each other. Oh sure some passionate words were used but I read them in a friendly tone.
I confess I read past the first definition in a dictionary, and am capable of identifying that ironic has more than one proper use, regardless of what people may think due to English being an evolving language.
Until I see those exact same people only ever saying prithee, ye, nay, yonder, verily, and every single archaic word that has since evolved into newer ones such as please, yes, no, there, truly, etc, I will continue to use ironic to mean "wryly amusing due to an unexpected poetically just scenario", because it's a lot shorter to type.

Agreed completely.
Confession: I like everybody I've interacted with on the Paizo forums. Without exception. Whether I agree with them in any particular discussion or not.

3) I don't think the Gunslinger is brokenIt still amazes me that people call other classes broken, when the Wizard was broken in the Core Rulebook, and every book since then has broke it even futher.
The gunslinger isn't even remotely broken using those standards. Nor are 99% of 3PP products.
What makes you think the wizard is broken?
Because Hulk smash puny Wizard!!

I think this thread has lost all of its momentum without the political derails.
Oh well, sometimes good things need to come to an end, or they become the Simpsons.

Confession: I consider the amount of damage one can do one of many elements of a character, not unlike MPG for a car. It's one of the things I look at, but I don't base my decision solely on that one aspect. Often, I might overlook it entirely for something else that interests me like leather seats or heated drink cup holder.

And then you can split your heated drink cup holder into heated (drink cup holder) and heated drink (cup holder).

I think Exalted 3e is a better-designed game than Pathfinder in every possible way. Even the crafting rules, which are generally understood to be terrible.
I think Exalted 1e was better than 2e. Especially Lunars.
Haven't seen 3 yet.
