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

Nah. Rules are boring and for boring people without imagination.

Well, the unimaginative have descended!

I do appreciate the new name, at least. Going from O to P is a lot of work!

Considering that thread...

Judging by how quickly and thoroughly most people misunderstand each other and even argue when they agree with each other, I’m going with no one actually reading the posts.

Yeah. Just like in conversation. Most people don’t listen, they use the quiet time to think about how the other person’s wrong.

Nailed it.

“I can’t have fun unless the rules tell me to.”

WHAT TYPE OF FUN CAN YOU HAVE? (d6)
1. None. Every party needs a pooper, and that's why they invited you.
2. A wee bit, but if you have any more, you'll get struck down by the fun police.
3. Fun is for other people. You will have work.
4. You'll have fun until the GM takes your t-bird away.
5. You're gonna party hard like Andrew W.K.
6. This fun goes to 11.

“I can’t have fun unless the rules tell me to.”

Or, "I have more fun playing a game the better I know how to play it."

But I'm sure your take is the correct one.

No thread is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the forum,
A part of the main.
If a clod be posting away on that thread,
Enworld is the less.
As well as if the clod posts a slur.
As well as if the clod tries to pwn
Or if the mod warning do re-occur.
Each thread's locking diminishes me,
For I am involved in all threads.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the clod trolls,
The clod trolls for thee.

Well said, but feels very high brow compared to the subject matter. I was thinking more along the lines of:

OP started a troll thread, a troll thread, a troll thread,
OP started a troll thread, and summoned other trolls.

And everywhere that bait was set, bait was set, bait was set,
Everywhere that bait was set, the mods were sure to go.

My one real pet peeve in threads is when the OP asks "what is a good game for [x] which has the features of [y, z]" and several people respond with Their Favorite Game, even if it has none of those features. But you can make it do [y] if you become an expert in it, ands nobody really wants [z] in their game, and blah blah blah. I don't engage, but those posts irk me more than they should.
