General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
Delurks long enough to increase his tiny post count by one, thus making himself feel more manly and studly, then wanders off to flaunt his newfound ego at someone else, before being slapped down and made to feel small again.
Post Count Envy. It's a dirty little secret shame.
Continues lurking on this thread with no real interest in the topic(s) at hand. Sadistically waits for things turn really ugly, hopefully enough so to result in several bannings.
Some people try to offer meaningful, well-though-out advice.
Some people attempt to point out that it's an obvious troll.
Some people argue with the people pointing out that it's an obvious troll, and cite how rude they are to suggest that.
In the end, the originally poster gets banned for one week, and some of those people who were fooled by the troll laugh it off as a good joke, but others become really pissed off, and bitter about the whole process.
Then, out of nowhere, someone who hasn't been following along comes ut and bumps the entire thread with a post which, while well written, is also fairly stupid and insane, possibly involving one million fifth level heroes versus one eighteenth level lich.

Points all of this out to a moderator, hoping to get the thread closed as quickly as possible.

Furry sex-related trolls indeed. Why, I never...
Not that anything like this has ever happened (especially on this incarnation of the boards )

Hey Houston EN Worlders! Interested in Getting together? Let's meet up and have lunch or something!
Bored by the fact that the thread is dying, drops in some offensive anti-(name of politician) and anti-(name of religion) comments with a vain attempt to disguise same comments as an analysis of Star Wars.
Decry's the Chef's Thread Necromancy as inherently evil as it invariably creates a repeat of the entire argument with most of the same people, beating the poor dead horse until it dies in a horrifying and blood curdling manner.
Wanders into a tangent about the alignment system...
Wanders into a tangent about Palidons and terrible GM's who hose them...
Remembers at least 5% of the post should be back on topic and apoligizes for posting at 2 am with a severe headache due to having caffeine withdrawals.
Released from shrunken-ego lurkdom by the combination of wicked Thread Necromancy and an answer to my original post, quote Da Man's succinct argument and proceed to take it apart piece by piece, word by word, giving the entire thread a new longest post and demonstrating both great intellect and a spectacular lack of wisdom in where to apply it. Adds numerous smileys throughout post to accentuate various remarks, deflect attention from otherwise-ban-inducing flames, and just because I like the cute yellow faces. :\
States that he has no idea what Nifft means and that hollyood, while producing quite a bit of cheese, is of a terrible quality.
Quotes this, because at least it mentions my name, then decides that no one is actually paying attention to me so just hits "post" without adding anything of substance.
Sulks off to have a scotch. Alone.
