Really strange email...

[Darkness]

Bizarre. He emailed me once and told me the exact opposite. Of course that one-eyed, one hand has always been trying to get me booted from ENWorld. None of his shenanigans have worked yet.

Piratecat is a genuinely nice guy, which gets in his way in such a task.

He's not like me, you see.

 

[GentleGiant]

Hmmmm. Possibly. If I offended someone, oops, I have this tact deficiency...

Actually it was Captain Tagon who said he didn't like the Beatles in the thread I mentioned earlier... weird.

 

[Darrin Drader]

He's not like me, you see.

Hey, what the...?

You didn't have to ban me over that comment. That wasn't very nice, Darkness.

 

[Darkness]

Nah, I wouldn't do that. I vastly prefer making sarcastic remarks.

Besides, I'm not interested in you leaving EN World. I rather like you.

Everything is overated to someone. I don't really see what the point to saying something is overated is, you're just basically saying "I don't like this thing but a lot of people do but I am more important than them and my opinion is fact.". That's usually the way I've seen it used. There have been exceptions, of course.

You should try saying Stephen King is overrated, thats always fun.

Well, he is.

 

[MonsterMash]

never, I get no e-mails from posting on the boards and nothing like that over reviews.

quickly starts writing emails (in green ink) disputing every review that Crothian has ever written with no spell checking, capitalisation or punctuation.

 

[Darrin Drader]

Well, he is.

I think its easy to make a convincing case that many of his novels are overrated. On the other hand, Stephen King has contributed others that are sheer works of art. The Stand, It, The Dark Half, and the entire Dark Tower series are amazing. In short, he's just like any other writer: he has some OK stuff and some brilliant stuff. The difference with King is that he's much more prolific than most, which is why there's so much mediocre stuff out there on display.

I used to have my setting up on the web for free. I include gunpowder, but I have spells specifically designed to elminate it since I reasoned that any wizard is going to want to take those gun things out right quick. So, among others, I have a spell called Detect Gunpowder.

So I get this email from a guy in South America who is thrilled by this new way I have to detect gunpowder and he wants to know all about it so he can help to impliment it in airports. At first I thought he was joking, but I typed "detect gunpowder" into google and guess what the number one page was? Yep. My spell list.

That's almost as weird as an email I got some six or seven years ago, back when I was running my website. I had a magic items section, and this guy writes me asking for the price of a Wand of Wall of Ice. So I tell him "it is left for the DM to decide" (that was back in 2E days, y'know). And what does he write back?

"i dont understand, what do u mean? also, do u take credit card?"
