This is a Rant [Meta-thread]

[baradtgnome]

lurking, lurking, lurking, lurking

looking for just the right moment to pounce on some unsuspecting poster with the most poingant of coupe de grace witicisms. don't see it. continue to lurk along with the other 90+% of viewers who don't post. waiting, lurking, ready, with blood lust on the tips of my fingers poised over the dark black keys of my deadly machine.

while the others post, innocently unaware of the danger hovering just beyond there meager awareness.

...Yes it was the pinacle of my existence. Bessie "the Hell Cow" reference is the summit of my life, it's all down hill from here.

Tells jdavis to stop taking the Bessie incident so personally. Everyone is entitled to one mistake in their lifetime. That was his.

Explains to Tallarn (who looks much better with the junk off his face and surrounded by flames BTW) that the Superhero Gibberlings do not all have to be Paladins. In fact, some Super Villain Gibberlings would also be welcomed.

Apologizes to Randomling for my complete ignorance of British units of measure. Promises to research this prior to visiting her country at some point in the next year or two.

Considers continuing the intellectual discussion with agback about "The Law of Unintended Consequences", but finds self is currently too brain dead at this moment to look back into old school notes.

Cautions Baraendur about citing recent political figures in his post, as it could lead to this thread being closed. Also wonders why Henry hasn't closed the thread yet.

Points out that Tracy Partridge played the triangle and the tamborine, but that neither instrument can be heard on any of the Patridge Family albums or the songs played during the show.

Brings up the original rule being questioned, and asks how it relates to the Mystic Theurge class?

Attaches picture from Cecil B. DeMille's original version of "The Ten Commandments".

Edits typo. Comments that it is funny that this thread was dormant for nine hours, and then both Baradtgnome and SilverMoon posted to it simultaneously.

Looks for the "who me?' smiley but can't find one. It's hard to let the Hell Cow go after I had spent decades looking for it (ok actually about 15 minutes on google).

Point out that I'm getting flamed by Seonaid even after I welcomed her to the thread (sort of), yet nobody is jumping to my defense. Look for "what about me?" smiley but once again I am let down by smiley selection.

Look for "you talking to me?" smiley in response to Nifft's apparently random personal attacks.

Ask if Superhero Gibberling Paladin will be a "adult" book or might have some "vile" content to spice it up a little, completly miss point of book and arguement in general. Can't find any vile smileys either.

Wonder why baradtgnome hasn't pounced on any unsuspecting posters yet? (got a smiley for that)

Tracy Partridge is the most balanced prestige class in the game. Make up a statement that Cecil B. DeMille was a big fan of the storyteller system games, post link to prove this as fact: http://www.foodtv.com/cooking101/youaskedforitshrimp Nope no Cecil B. DeMille smiley either.

Promises Superhero and Supervillain Gibberlings, including the deadly Dr Which, a Gibberling with the ability to travel through time, whose deadly plans threaten Faerun as we know it! Also reveals tentative plan for Gibberling with Duplication powers, as if we needed any more of them...

 

[Darrin Drader]

Creates the various smileys Jdavis is looking for, posts them to personal website, but then gets the URL's wrong so no one can see them.

Notes that Tallarn has a much more intense glow than I do. Apparently he's at ground zero whereas I'm just mildly radioactive. Point out that at least my face isn't melting off.

In response to Silver Moon's cautions, gets all kinds of political, but then at the end keeps the thread from being moderated out of existence by stating that all of this occurres in a fictional alternate reality in my D20 Alternate Reality Game. Hopes no one notices that to date, there isn't a D20 alternate reality game.

Agrees with Nifft's personal attacks, except for the ones that have anything th do with ME.

Welcome Seonaid to the conversation (a bit late, misspell her name), and try to hide the fact that I too am mildly attracted to her avatar.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Basks in the warm glow of his avatar, ignoring everyone else and getting a nice sun tan.

 

[Remathilis]

Opens a poll asking people to rate the rule in question, despite the fact three other threads have plenty of opinions. Makes the choices obviously biased in favor of his own opinion.

Demands the gibberling paladin be nerfed!

Is also attracted to Seonaid's avatar. Wishes he had the money to donate and get an avatar

Rambles on again for a few moments, then blames PirateCat for the whole thing and posts funny pictures about him.

 

[jdavis]

Can you nerf a optional suppliment? Besides I found superhero gibberling rangers to be sort of underpowered. Why is this any different, gibberling paladins don't even have prehensile toes.

google search for vile smiley proves inconclusive.

Takes great delight in the ongling Gibberling discussion. Feel that there certainly appears to be a great deal of interest in the upcoming three-volume all-D20-inclusive "Gibberlings" boxed set. Envisions making huge truckloads of $$$$ from it, and retiring to a nice tropical island. Notices that jdavis hasn't been assigned anything yet, so gives him the assignment of Gibberling section in Volume III relating to all D20 spy-type games. Suggests "The name is Gibberling, James Gibberling" as the chapter title.

Gives large amounts of praise to Baraendur for bringing up the topic in the first place, stating that it was long overdue.

Attaches a picture of a Red Chevy Corvette.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Points out to Remathilis that so far as I remember, you don't need to be a community supporter to get an avatar.

Attempts to return to original topic, lasts all of one sentence before veering off and demanding that every agrees with him that Teletubbies is in fact the next big thing in LARPing.
