But nowadays I hardly give a shit about this community anymore.

My heart is broken.

Memorizing ciphers helps you crack new ones? Who would have thought.

That statement operates under the axiom that all non-disgusting food is fruit, which is clearly an opinion.

Opinions cannot be used as axioms, so perhaps you should consider revising your opinion to “All non-disgusting food is either fruit or cheese.”

You can’t. Only Jesus is capable of doing such an impossible feat. And since dev is Jesus, obviously he can, right?

I would apologize for that, but it would be dishonest. I’ll try and limit myself to one crazy-rant at developous per week, at the very least.

As much as I’m aware that this won’t make any difference, I will now proceed to argue with dev in order to continue fighting the good fight.

Dev, let me tell you a little something. What you say only matters if people care about it. Because I like to use extreme examples, I shall use Adolf Hitler. The only reason he was able to do anything at all was because the people of Germany agreed with and cared for the terribly incorrect things which he was spouting. If nobody cared when he ordered them to eradicate all the Jews, he would have no impact on the world, just as you will not.

I could walk up to you and tell you that you’re now “Elegaryai” and explain the meaning of the term, telling you that since you have been afflicted with this arbitrary condition, you’re now incapable of walking or talking. You would probably think I’m a crazy nut and move on, because I have no means to enforce this arbitrary restriction on your ability to walk and talk, nor does this term actually signify any physical incapability on your part to do so.

This is the same thing as “Nexus Dead”. If the Nexus were the only means for any of us to play forum games, then this would be significant. But you have no control over ANY of the forum games which any of us give half a damn about and frankly, we don’t care about you or your silly rantings either, beyond satisfying our need to see some sort of poetic justice by attempting to murder your over-sized, apparently indestructible ego by typing passages such as this and hitting the “Submit Reply” button once in a while.

Have a terrible day.

Your going to despise this, but the only way to officially destroy my nuclear warhead is from inside, for the sole reason of me having said so.

So by creating arbitrary rules like this, you suggest that everything you say must be inherently correct and unchanging. This allows my assumption that you are a conceited, self-centered, insane moron who doesn’t understand what makes something true to be an accurate one. Have a nice day!

Plagiarism, of course. I made a better “Nexus” than him, one people accepted more easily. I took the title from him. And he seemed pretty pissed back then. I can dig it up if you want.

Why even attempt to spite him? After all

You’re obviously just motivated by HATRED and because of that, it satisfies me to a very indescribably large extent to see you writhe in an attempt to force your FALSE morals upon me. Well, you shall never have your way! At the end of the day JUSTICE shall come to fruition and you and your bigotry shall become insignificant before my almighty PRINCIPLES!

So who enjoyed my impression of developous? Pretty accurate, if I do say so myself.

Unfortunately, or perhaps quite fortunately, one cannot possibly emulate the sheer illogical rubbish which spews forth from the keyboard of developous. I think my impression may have made a bit to much sense for his standards, I’ll work on it.

I’m impressed because that was satisfying to read, mostly. Also, I wanted to make a cool analogy.

As good as it feels to see BC rip into dev with arguments pointier than the tip of Excalibur itself, I feel obliged to remind you that.

Guys, Developous cannot be reasoned with. He is insane. His thought patterns have no internal logical consistency. Do not attempt to argue with him like you would to a normal person; you will only waste time, space, and resources.

Dat aint no calculus. That’s like… Algebra 1.

Although playing card-games is undoubtedly fun… Building a deck is what makes it so gratifying, I think.

Dev overdoes it on many accounts, but I think the process of gathering cards is literally half the fun. Honestly though, I don’t think card-games on a forum is that viable anyways. It takes too long.

Topic: Forum Games / General Thread

Wait since when did I say I was working on it? There’s this thing called theory crafting. Perhaps if you’d do a bit more of it, your games wouldn’t end up like the McDonalds chicken nugget.

Back to playing not skyrim.

Topic: Forum Games / General Thread

I’m going to ignore the entire page of dev being dumb. and simply reply to the important thing.

I’m kind of torn about the whole no cost for cards thing, if we were to implement this into FGF. Half the fun of any CCG is trying to get a hold of a good deck and “bartering” (applying strong-arm tactics) with other people to get a hold of the cards you need.

This may be acceptable in the virtual reality of the Internet, but in real life, the exact reason I could never get into a CCG (despite my interest in doing so) is that I simply could not afford the cards necessary to be competitive. If cards were free/less expensive, I probably would have spent my teen/college years doing that instead of spending my time playing games on the Internet.

We are, indeed, on the internet. So if some sort of well-organized, thought-out system were implemented for this, then I think it could be a lot of fun. The part where CCGs are expensive also kind of put me off from playing a whole lot of ‘em earlier on. (And I basically never played magic at all, because I had nobody to play it with: although it’s pretty clearly the best out there, based on my analysis). But here in a digital environment where we’ll be free to set prices based within the context of the FG itself, and RNG booster packs and such: it could be a lot of fun.

The big problem I’ve thought of regarding this is of course… fairness. No doubt the people running the game will want in on the action too, so we’d need a cohost or two to make sure that they don’t cheat and skip RNG. Same goes for draws and such. Overall, running it properly would be a pain, although it certainly has potential.

EDIT: Seriously the sheer number of logical inaccuracies and pointless statements in dev’s posts actually makes me want to punch somebody’s face in. Ignoring it is so hard, acknowledging it without confronting it is the best I can actually do.

You people disgust me. MtG is the one true CCG/TCG/FOA/KCA

Having said that, I’m kind of torn about the whole no cost for cards thing, if we were to implement this into FGF. Half the fun of any CCG is trying to get a hold of a good deck and “bartering” (applying strong-arm tactics) with other people to get a hold of the cards you need.

Seems interesting, though.

Developous was an insane idiot.

Ajx is just an idiot in a different way. He’s like a three year old, I think. The things he does are like a three year old, and he expects immediate forgiveness upon apology, much like a three year old.

Either way, both of them are idiots who aren’t worth the time of day.

Topic: Forum Games / General Thread

Maybe you misunderstood a bit there. I like the beginning, but I feel that explanation is required after you’ve got us intrigued. ^^

Topic: Forum Games / General Thread

I never thought of you as a jerk. I thought of you as an idiot and a twit. When your views on the ability to change peoples’ opinions is as black and white as they are, it’s hard to change that opinion. Harder, that is, than it would be anyways.

That is a terrible idea.

OT is not the sort of place where people can appreciate literature. It is a land where everybody shouts their five cents of random crap just ‘cause. I think it’s better off being kept to FGF, although perhaps simply have a single post, a table of contents, of sorts, linking to each chapter, posted on a separate site.

Fairly descent writing, by the way. Having said that, I can’t say for sure if I like either one yet. I feel like the natural progression, for either one of those, would be to then ‘start from the beginning’ and begin with a pedestrian story which eventually leads into the chaos that is the scenes you’ve shown us. If you plan on doing that, great. Otherwise, I think it might be a bit meh.

Just my five cents. Happy writing!

Staying motivated to do anything that doesn’t offer an immediate reward to me has always been a difficult task for me, as I’m sure it is for everybody else as well. I don’t see that writing a novel will offer any immediate reward, the entire way through, so staying motivated seems to be a challenge which will almost certainly present itself.

Oh yeah. You should post each chapter in a google document or something, and just link it here in the general thread. If I get around to noticing your work, I’ll be glad to read it and tell ya’ what I think.

I think putting it in OT would be a dumb idea. OT is a no-man’s land. Everybody’s there to post whatever random elephant poop they can think of at any given moment. Here in FGF, a lot of us are focused on writing and RP-style things (although that seems to have fallen out of fashion recently in favour of poorly thought out donkey pies which pop up every five hours) so I feel this is a community full of an appropriate audience to which to present your writing.

Well, I’m done rambling for now. Have a nice day, FGF .

Death Note, IMO, isn’t about liking the characters. Your main characters are a psychotic anti-hero bent on something resembling world domination and an anti-social, awkward, sugar-eating genius who nobody can identify with at all.

(Having said that, I do love L quite a bit. He’s got a good character behind him.)

I really enjoyed the epic chessmaster battles though. The gambit pileups are really interesting to observe, and I think they’re what make DeathNote great.

So what you’re saying, Mr. Grandmotherburner, is that it is acceptable to be a jerk because you apologized after you did so as opposed to before you were a jerk?

A jerk (or more importantly, an idiot) is a jerk is a jerk.

And like I said. Sorry doesn’t cut it when you killed all of our grandmothers. Your apology means absolutely nothing to any of us because we all consider you to be a worthless, grandmother-killing idiot.

Topic: Forum Games / General Thread

Dude, your logic is amazing.

What you’re basically saying is this:

Hey guys! You know how I killed all of your grandmothers by scorching their legs off with flamethrowers and then throwing them into bottomless pits filled with flaming cacti so they could suffer for eternity until they died of cardiac arrest due to the enormous fall? Well, that was all a practical joke, so you can take me out of this high-security prison now, because it definitely won’t happen again.

Yeah…. Don’t do that.

At least it’s readable now-adays. Back when I was the age you were ten years ago, the things read random, unreadable gibberish.
