This is a Rant [Meta-thread]

[Enceladus]

Under a newly created bogus username so no one will know its me, I make several sarcastic remarks about the posters on this board, question their parentage, sexuality, humanity, suggest several "isms" that may best describe their character and generally put down their mothers in an offhand "dalliance with a duck-billed platypus" kind of way.

Then, I create several other bogus user names to agree with me.

Then, log on as me and put all of the other "me's" down for insulting everyone and call me a troll and tell me to go away. That way I look like a hero and everyone loves me!

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Recoils in horror from thread.

Requests that he be allowed to deal with Gibberlings in Mutants and Masterminds, and suggests that due to his own personal superpowers (reading fast, posting lots, incredible wit) that he is a natural choice.

Ignores original topic, considering it beneath him to try and get a thread back on topic.

Responds to insults thrown his way by Private Message and an invitation to Nutkinland. Provides link to wrong thread in Nutkinland's Mixed Nuts Forum instead of Angry Chair, in the hope that anyone that follows it will get themselves banned.

Despite the fact that at least two other posters have mentioned it, tells everyone that randomling is a member of the female of the species, posts picture of myself, alsih2o and her for proof. Makes joke about length of Clay's hair, notes that it's now been cut off.

 

[Rel]

Points out that dual-wielding half-elf ranger/bards themselves are broken, but that is a different rant. Also notes that it isn't nearly so broken in D&D 3.5, but that, also, is an entirely separate discussion.

Comes in late to the thread, reads as far as the 13th post, quotes material that has virtually no relevancy to the OP and rants thus:

UNLESS you are an employee of WotC, then you have NO IDEA what is OFFICIALLY going to be in 3.5. Therefore your comment has no basis in FACT and is only adding to the RAMPANT SPECULATION that is simply a WASTE OF TIME (much like this post).

Implores people to just be patient and wait for the 3.5 books to come out before discussing them. Utterly fails to recognize that other than the above oblique reference, nobody is discussing 3.5 in this thread.

Adds rolleyes smiley for that perfect sense of smug, self-satisfaction.

-------------------------------------

Pimps Story Hour thread in Sig.

 

[Rel]

Immediately post again to lament that his 1,000th post was wasted on having to (unnecessarily) admonish people to stop speculating about 3.5 until it comes out.

Adds another rolleyes smiley.

------------------------------------------------

Gratuitously pimps Story Hour in sig again.

 

[Remathilis]

Takes the time to point out to Remathilis that Randomling is a girl, then launches into a short diatribe about this being just a game, that the rule in point can be rule zeroed if you don't like it, and commenting that I lack the energy to follow such pointless arguements despite the fact I'll be back in ten minutes to see if anyone responds to this post.

Realizes error of post, apologizes to Randomling, and does the dance of shame TM

Edits to say that his dual-wielding half-elf ranger/bard could kick a gibberling paladin's booty, and gives an example showing the flaygrant abuse of the rule being discussed in the first place.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Disputes superiority of dual-wielding half-elf ranger/bard compared to Gibberling Paladin, using house rules quoted from unpublished homebrow, and hoping no one notices. Whines incessantly about Drizzt rip offs, even though no one has claimed to be playing one.

Compares dual-wielding half-elf ranger/bard with Incantatrix/Mystic Theurge/Red Wizard Epic Prc, and claims not to be able to see the problem.

 

[Darrin Drader]

UNLESS you are an employee of WotC, then you have NO IDEA what is OFFICIALLY going to be in 3.5. Therefore your comment has no basis in FACT and is only adding to the RAMPANT SPECULATION that is simply a WASTE OF TIME (much like this post).

Disagrees with this assertion on the basis that (1) there has been enough information released publicly to be able to make this assertion, (2) most freelancers in the D20 community already have the 3.5 rules but are under a strict gag order about it, and (3) I AM and employee of WotC.

Thanks for playing!

 

[Seonaid]

Quotes entirety of the longest post thus far, including tangents and insults to various board members. In a failed attempt to add something new to the thread, highlights 99% of the quoted post (also including tangents and insults to various board members).

States complete agreement with quoted post.

Professes undying, thus-far-secret love for one of the above-insulted board members.

Closes with a Shameless Plug for a completely non-gaming-related, badly coded personal web page.

 

[Rel]

Pops back into thread. Completely ignores the sound rebuttal of my first post by Baraendur above.

Upon seeing this:

Professes undying, thus-far-secret love for one of the above-insulted board members.

...engages in ham-fisted flirting with Seonaid, consisting primarily of phrases like, "How YOU doin'?", based strictly on the relative hotness of Seonaid's avatar (compared to say, Baraendur). All the while knowing that he really has no romantic interest in Seonaid and only wants her to read his Story Hour thread.

---------------------------------------

Pimps Story Hour in sig mercilessly.

 

[Seonaid]

Disparages Rel's vision and intelligence, since the above-insulted and -quoted board member was most emphatically not Rel. In a misguided attempt to make the post semi-relevant, asks for a recap of what the original question was.

. . . and falls for the "click here" sneakiness of Rel and does in fact visit his Story Hour, which was secretly admired but subsequently only insulted in all posts that Rel might possibly read, even if only on the Thursday after the fifth blue moon before the monsoon hits the coast.

Again puts in a Shameless Plug of a "supplement" to the same poorly written, non-gaming personal page.
