4e Change of mind

[Obryn]

I admit nothing, but it is clear to me that Murad was a tongue-in-cheek commentary and attempt at humor.

You got caught. Admitting it would be the mature thing to do, but kind of beside the point. You made an alt to troll and to foment edition wars.

That aside. I am sincere. I have no desire for edition wars. I don't care what edition anyone prefers. But I don't like being told by other gamers what edition I should prefer.

Well, Step 1, if you're sincere, should be to stop stoking the fires of edition wars. "Tongue in cheek" or not.

I don't think one-liners in broken English about how "4e is for children," and about how a Muslim would hate Al-Qadim, followed up by a ban for personal attacks could possibly be constructive.

The tongue in cheek part means the intention wasn't to foment edition wars, but poke fun at them. Since Murad's strongest argument against 4E was it "is for children". I am sure Murad feels bad that his attempt at humor wasn't well recieved or that some took offense but it was obviously meant to be funny and not to hurt anyone's feelings.

Then we must agree to disagree on Mr. Murad's intentions and mine.

A can only assume he was modeled on Borat? Not the best of role models, even for a parody...

My wife speaks broken English, and I studied Arabic with Palestinians and Saudis. Borat's syntax isn't too far off actually. Kasakh is Turkic though, not arabic or thai. But I know that Cohen was speaking Hebrew in the movie Borat when he was supposed to be speaking Kazakh, so my guess is he modeled the Character after an Israeli relative or something.

...never found Borat funny...

 

[ProfessorPain]

Humor is a matter of taste I guess. I thought Borat was funny on the Ali G show, and the movie was pretty good too.

 

[ProfessorCirno]

Count me in as someone who never found Borat funny.

I laughed about three times during Borat. But those three times, man did I laugh hard.

On topic, I went from somewhat negative to positive then back to negative after giving 4E a chance at the game table. My players and I really appreciate Pathfinder now.
