Dude -- Kain's a fucking idiot.  And a dick.  Fuck him.

/2cp.

Quote from: Kain
You're an idiot. It's pointless to argue with you, so I'll just point out your mistakes so that no one else reading this is led astray.

Sounds like a smart guy to me. Or if he is an idiot, he's not completely hopeless. Of course I only read the first paragraph. And that's all I care to say about it.

Stop that.

BB, fuck off. This is absolutely something you obviously don't know shit about.  If you like them so much, then go post on THAT forum.  I don't know why the hell you're posting here again, anyway, after making an ass of yourself spouting off how wrong we are about everything and how little you care about this forum before ragequitting.

So yeah, if you want to start another debate on another topic you don't know shit about, make a new thread about it so I can ignore it.

I was going to simply leave it alone after taking the cheap shot at ImperatorK that he left himself wide open for.

Dicefreaks is a PF forum, which means it won't amount to anything since it's based on a terrible game.

Regardless, hypocrite much? You run around taking cheap shots at the same person for much the same reasons - the only reason you're off ignore I might add, then rage when someone does the exact same fucking thing?

However as I presume you have overpowered your kidnapper that was impersonating you and are now back and reminding me why I should disregard everything you say as invalid I will now go back to doing exactly that.

For the benefit of the basket weavers mentally incapable of following a simple discussion: "Sounds like a smart guy to me. Or if he is an idiot, he's not completely hopeless. Of course I only read the first paragraph. And that's all I care to say about it."

The bolded phrase means "Do not respond to this, start talking about something else instead."

Allow me to demonstrate with another example.

That's all I care to say about this.

All I see is a 9 year old that wants to pretend he's won because he quit the game before getting owned.

My small rant? Why do our moderators have to use the red text multiple times for the same thing? Why do people still ignore them?

Why is this about the same as when I have to sit down the same player for the 5th time to re-explain in what way he's disregarding the Gentleman's Agreement in our group?

Or have to explain why you don't bring a theoretically optimized level character into an actual campaign, to the same player?

Because like many who get into the position of mod (or DM) they want to be nice.  They want to remain peoples friends.  Most people don't wanna be the bad guy who has to enforce rules people shouldn't be breaking in the first place.  And some just plain don't like confrontation.  But if you elect someone who does like confrontation you end up with a power mad asshat.

Being an asshat requires a head (and therefore a brain) to wear said ass on  :p

To be fair, this is a thread dedicated to ranting...  I've been impressed with the moderators here thus far, but its hard stop a rant midway -no matter how much red you throw around.   :)

The giant filling in my upper left wisdom tooth fell out a week ago.  After a week of painkillers, my dentist appt. finally came around... I got there, they took an x-ray, and said "that tooth is in really bad shape, let's pull it out.  ready?"

I was not prepared for that... I only have 1 left because the two on my right side were pulled several years ago when one of them broke in half.

I have really shitty teeth, apparently.  So does my mom; it's genetic.

do you have a diet high in sugars/carbs/processed foods?  If you curb that you can slow down tooth decay

Got a cousin who's like that, its something to do with early calcium absorption issues, and the structural integrity of teeth. They just somehow have a more fragile structure than most, so they are easily damaged(whereas some of us could basically eat high acidity/sugar content foods all day without bothering with any serious brushing and not care)
Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

I don't have a dentist to back this up, but I think I have exceptionally hard, but relatively brittle teeth.  Aside from maybe 1, or 2, the cavities I have are due to physical damage (and the most inept orthodontist in the history of the practice  :shakefist) as opposed to lax oral hygiene.  Similarly, the two wisdom teeth that have stuck around long enough to cause problems caused those problems by breaking/splintering as opposed to whatever chemical reaction.
