[OT] This is an off-topic thread [Meta-thread]

[Darrin Drader]

This thread has nothing to do with D&D, ENWorld, or anyone else who posts here. Its intention is to draw attention to some otherwise unrelated news event that has been widely reported on other sites.

Express my shock, dismay, and wax refelctive upon how this topic has affected me personally. Bring smurfs into the conversation. Encourage others to share as well, especially if it generates controversy.

End with a haikuu to commemorate those who keep up the "good fight" (whatever that may be).

 

[BrooklynKnight]

huh?
you've lost me.

 

[ConnorSB]

Laughs at ArthurQ, the uninitated. Makes comments as to how he should be steeped in Meta-Threads. Makes vague comments about thread topic, and also predicts whatever the 20th post on this thread will say. Gloats.

Edits post.

*scratches head and ooks like a monkey*

No really.....what the fudge is going on?

 

[ConnorSB]

Explains to arthur that in this thread posters merely post what they intend to say without actually saying it. That is, i say something like "Flames arthur" rather than "I hate you because I'm always right!". Posters always trying to outdo each other in witty boards-related humor, because posts describe stuff like flame wars, etc, but all condensed-style.

Comments on original topic once again, but from another less accepted angle or view.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

Takes flamethrower to ConnorSB's face for insulting his intelligence.

Like that?

 

[Apocalyptic Kitty]

Express derision over the topic and wonders how the original poster could be so shallow as to bring up this subject here.

Make the point that smurfs are about as relevant to this subject as Q balls are to radio and the haikuu doesn't follow the conventions.

Flames Arthur Q for good measure.

Mention that this thread proves my superiority over the average cat and that I will soon rule the world.

Laughs menacingly!

 

[ConnorSB]

Explains that its more like "flames connor back", the posts describing not physical actions of the poster but rather whatever he would post. Since the stuff posted actually describes what really should be posted, it is more of meta-data. Hence this is a meta-thread, a sort of thread template.

Flames Apoc Kitty.

Gloats.

Explains own self worth.

Edits post.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

continues wondering whats going on.

reports apoc kitty to p kitty.

mentions a bodily function

After a couple of minutes while I mull over the original post, I read quickly through the thread and find out that everything I wanted to say has already been said. I am late to the thread once more.

Not to be undone, I post a witty/scathing/2 a.m./uneducated reply to Baraendur’s post, in which I express my condolences/anger/agreement/disagreement with/against/for Baraendur and the subject of discussion. Never mind that other posters before me have already done that this.

I then edit my post several times in word.

I rewrite half my post.

I read the posts that have been posted since my I began writing and see that I have been pre-empted several times more by other, new posts.

I debate whether or not I should post.

I edit my post.

I post.

Maybe.
