The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

In one group with which I played there was a guy who would make a crappy character and get it killed off pretty early, then return with a clone of my character concept. The difference was that he would take that concept and maximize it, so that it was able to do everything that mine could do, better. I would have thought it was a coincidence but it happened 4 different times, in two different RPGs. Not much fun.

Something as GM I would have landed with both boots on the first time I saw that. I mean, sometimes I have to give the "taking away the player agency" argument the side eye.

It really is ok, if just once, you'd actually think about what you're going to type before typing it, and imagine how it would play out in the real world, and maybe even think about other people too and not just your self.

Oh, look! It took five pages before the thread about how a thing is bad turned into an argument about what the thing is!

If I'm surprised, I'm surprised it took that long.

There is no try, there is do, or do not.

Why is do pronounced like doo, except when you want to type there is also do do?

The fact the timing of that overlapped so closely with the arrival of the printing press is why English spelling is such a mess. Well, that and the fact English steals words.

I'm also going to blame William of Ockham, because forget that guy.

What a tool! He doesn't even believe in car key gnomes.
