Once you go C&C, you never go back

[gideon_thorne]

Folks,

In The Rules you all agreed to for posting on these boards, we specifically ask you to not make things personal.

Just thought I'd point out, just as an fyi, but the above link seems to take one to a 404 error page It appears the link has been absconded with by kender. All in the interest of trying to be helpful.

Still seems odd.

And this thread is about whether people have tried C&C, and then liked it.

So it kind of lends itself to some people posting who liked it, and sharing their experiences.

Anyway, I'm starting to not like the way I sound here.

When all's said and done, at least we're all rpg'ers, and active in keeping this form of hobby alive.

Seems we're a dying breed in the face of comp games.

This isn't about you. It's about me not wanting to be associated with or perceived as endorsing your attempts to spark flames at RPGnet or anyplace else. If I had known the kind of deliberately offensive crap that you were posting elsewhere, I never would have said the kind things about you that I did earlier in this thread. You're obviously not doing C&C any favors.

IF you read those threads and support the response fo those posters I'm not interested in your support. If you read those threads and have no problem with their unjustified responses, I am not interested in your support.

I did it because of the posts in that thread are way too typical of rpgnet, with just as little provocation as I gave. Which was none, BTW.

I said 4E is more complex than ever before, and it is, which the blogs and reports more than adequately show.

The responses given were the trolls. Just because I knew what their responses would be like doesn't change that, since I said NOTHING out of line.

Their just upset they got proven to be the way they are.

And I have now seen Umbrans post, so I will stop now, and remind people to PM me if they really feel the need.

Responding to deliberately inflammatory remarks does not make one a troll. The troll is the person who posts said remarks with the intent of provoking hostility, thus the term "trolling" (it comes from fishing terminoloy -- trolling is a method of slowly running a boat while trailing lures or bait).

Kind of like C&C evangelists over here on enworld, right?

 

[slimykuotoan]

I guess flame wars are unavoidable; people get set in their ways and things invariably get heated.


I do think it would be a shame to avoid C&C for a dislike of the fans though, because I really do think it can be a lot of fun, and rules lite enough to be attractive in getting newbees into the hobby.

I know that my wife was really frustrated trying to get into 3.5, but found C&C a snap!

...so I get to play more.

Although I do enjoy other rpgs: Alternity, Star Frontiers, AD&D (which I grew up on), D20 (at low levels), Sengoku, etc.

It's strange really, I'm normally cool-headed, but hearing that C&C fans are horrible really stung, especially after I've met so many that are great, welcoming people.

And yes, Treebore's one of them...one who I game with frequently, who has opened up his family to the online community, and who has made me feel welcome in all of his games.

Especially those radical artists *coughs* who fanatically draw cute fantasy girls.

I'd like to see your sketchbook. Your published cute fantasy girls are inspiring and all, but I bet they're the tip of the iceberg.

Good art is only possible with good models. I am fortunate to have friends who not only are avid gamers, but come complete with their own weaponry, and are complete narcissists.

I'll be putting out a sketchbook one of these days. More important projects are in the hopper than my own vanity though.
