  1. all that being said, i'm no longer really sure why i voted izhu in the first place. his reactions to it, though, i think are worth keeping track of (i don't think i'm gonna move my vote yet)
  2. what reversal? i swapped off of paperblade because i found someone i felt would be more productive to press what does "a little off" even mean? are you saying i'm scummy or not? this entire part just seems like pointless fluff fine. this is reasonable. at the same time, i don't see why town cares about what they look like the shortest answer to "why didn't you vote shin when you voted SB" is that it slipped my mind due to it being 5 am i thought there were actually people on an sb wagon at that time (which would make paperblade getting on sb's wagon actually a thing). i'll freely admit i wasn't paying much attention to ed1 posts so i missed that the people on SB were RVS that's not why i voted him, but it didn't make me feel better about him.
  3. I don't like this vote justification because it reads like a handwave "i don't like this" with a slapdash reason and feels like scum pre-emptively distancing from a wagon that wasn't likely to go anywhere (in particular by buddying with SB) i'll admit that "this discussion is over" is probably not a good reason, but i still think it's an inherently anti-town thing to say. mafia 101 aside, it's as i said -- it's a really easy way to make it feel like something holds less weight than it does I disliked that because it felt like paperblade was just laying it down as a random defense without much substance (it's pretty weak but i wasn't going to vote for shin at that stage) -- you'll also note that i unvoted pretty soon afterwards more coming
  4. speaking of walking away, i think i'm gonna do that for a while; i have an assignment due tomorrow and trying to parse izhuark's posts is giving me a headache
  5. then walk away and stop playing for a few hours if it's causing you that many problems you're voting paperblade. if it's going nowhere, walk away and ignore it. "this discussion has ended" accomplishes nothing except make it seem like more has been concluded than it has i also really don't like how izhuark's default response is to "you didn't read it" -- that sounds fine and dandy but it's a nice way to shut down an argument without actually doing anything @BBM -- that was before prims claimed numbers?
  6. man i was about to make a big post but rich text editor sucks so i won't
  7. yeah okay i'm fine with my vote "discussion ended" is a terrible way to actually end a discussion, and you move away to talk about BBM with your vote still on paperblade? Is the discussion over or not?
  8. ...right multiquoting is cancer so i'm going to be spamposting instead at the time, shin was at L-2 (i think?). i also probalby would have voted shin if i were around (talk is cheap, etc etc). i also was an idiot and thought paperblade had voted for SB
  9. whoa whoa whoa what how can you say this and then say that paperblade is scummy for doing the same thing? this feels like a really weak way to jump on what appears to be a counterwagon ##Unvote ##Vote Izhuark
  10. Put them at L? Why get them to talk when the mod will talk for them :D
  11. DOWN WITH RICH TEXT DOWN WITH RICH TEXT (god i almost edited my post on reflex)
  12. BRING BACK RAW TEXT BRING BACK RAW TEXT
  13. i... no? that's ridiculous i'm pretty sure "____ worshipping satan" was a major part of christian anti-anything propaganda. for that matter, "cult worshipping the evil god" is one of the most approximately generic setting villains that exists; are all of these suddenly also suddenly anti-semitic? Is LotR's Sauron-worshipping group being outlawed an allegory for christian persecution? Or the daedric cults in the elder scrolls world? or, like, anybody in shin megami tensei that literally worships lucifer? Fuck, that's like saying "X character is greedy for money, and jews are stereotypically super money-hungry, it must be some deep anti-semitic slur". this is strictly false: the lopt clan's base of operations is in grannvale. List of cults supposedly pulling the strings controlling all the world: Freemasons Illuminati Elders of Zion Fourth Reich etc (I can keep going) Please note: The Freemasons, Illuminati and Zion are Christian cults. This is not an inherently Jewish stereotype, and I don't even think I would have thought of connecting it to being a semitic thing if you hadn't brought it up. welcome to "generic fiction cult actions 101"? i looked it up and some other contemporary artwork, and i'm pretty sure that this applies to anybody who "isn't christian". Or, for that matter, any "evil interlopers" in any artwork in general if you hadn't told me this was about the Jews, i would have assumed you were talking about this being anti-Muslim, to the point where that's literally what the Crusades and the Holy War were (in theory) for. I will again point out that this is also a reasonable description of the modern caricature of the illuminati. I think you're drawing parallels to history that are really not intended. I'm not going to say that they don't exist, but this is not only "generic high fantasy" but also "generically historical" -- the jews were not the only group accused of being an evil-worshipping cult, they are not the only group that has been accused of being behind every war ever, and they are certainly not meant to be modern-day parallels to the lopt sect. E: Furthermore, even if it was meant to invoke christian anti-semitic imagery, who cares? it's so far removed from the actual jews that it's a waste of time to be mad at it. "O no, it's bad to dislike the cult that sacrifices children". It is unreasonable to expect us to condemn arbitrary elements of fiction that, i say again, are generically evil things to do, just because "they were once used as slurs against the jews". Is every movie that features a really fast bank robber in the american south inherently anti-black? Of course not, that's stupid.
  14. ##Unvote ##Vote Paperblade if it isn't, what is? i don't see why it isn't good enough for ED1
  15. why, you little ##Vote: SB (also this forum software fucking sucks for mafia thanks ipb)
  16. everything would be the same, except all axes in all the games would have 40 weight and 50 hit, except for one or two prf axes that are completely busted
  17. do you mean the goal text, or make the chapter end on rout? for the former, use a text editing utility. for the latter, use DefeatAll

  19. you may as well use whatever you want and just tell people which base to use; it's hardly a hardship to change between them
  20. i didn't remember this but i went to go read the game and now i remember it i also remember talking to refa being amazed out of my mind that i survived that long
  21. i don't remember this game or these quotes
