Explains that all these issues have been addressed with the following 3 pages of house rules, which have never actually been play tested, but should neatly address the issues without unbalancing the rest of the game.
Everyone ignores the 3 pages of cut and pasted text.

Ignores the thread necromancy in favor of arguing an inane point for pages on end. Continually states that the arguement is pointless and meaningless, and the opponents agree, but none of them stop arguing.

Inserts a long dissertation on how that company should die a slow death due to its broken game system and egomanical CEO. Continues to argue that a setting with dimensional rifts as an excuse to include everything (including kitchen-sink shaped aliens) is doomed from the start.

Three posts later, realizes that the poster said Paladin.

Has a heart-attack when he realizes that he's pages into a thread without reading post from Crothian, noting that a good troll would be able to pull Crothy into the conversation.

Arrives in the thread days or weeks later. Masochistically reads every word of entire flamewar. Contemplates detailed response to original post and all judged-as-relevant subsequent posts.

Begins typing lengthy response. Accidentally hits Escape key after 7,000 words, wiping out several hours of work.

Posts one-line response describing loss of lengthy response and intent to re-create and post it later.

Never returns to thread.

"Quotes" a very large picture that drags down loading the page as whole and makes every computer that loads it grind to a halt for the sole purpose of adding: "You owe me a new keyboard" or similar statement.

Inspiration hits and is embodied in a beautiful post that takes just long enough to compose for someone else to post the same thoughts even more eloquently just moments before submitting...

Angry post about how none of the OP's poll options represent what I really feel.

Describe personal opinion in painstaking detail--it matches poll option #3 exactly.

posts a two-page long diatribe in pretty poor speling and grammar without any puctuation capitalizastion or paragrafs that actually contains an interesting nugget of an idea somewhere down on the second page but which is promptly ignored by everyone becuz its just impossible to read without grinding you're teeth.

Pimps 12 dollar 4 page PDF now sold in ENWorld Gamestore of which I have written a two paragraph barely related tangent segment on the OP. Claim this settles all meta-trolling issues. Begs for more work. Claims piracy concerns and offends female gamer population with sexist language.

Defends female gamers against sexist language. Claims we need more female gamers. Especially hot ones who are willing to my .



Fails to see the irony...

comes up with a confused post about what's with all the smileys, and the fact that I know plenty of hot gamer chicks willing to wash your Ford.

Points out that this is a euphamism for an act that would cause Eric's grandmother to blush.
