This is a Rant [Meta-thread]

[Zogg]

Comes to Zogg's defense, going on at length about the merits of Zogg's position. Does no bother to go back and reread prior pages, and actually has no clue as to what Zogg had posted, but makes a firm and reasonable-sounding argument based upon quotes from the 3.5E DMG.

Initiates a discussion about pathetic movie sequels, and how they never should have been made, as they tarnish the memory of the original. Cites as examples Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, Godfather II, and Austin Powers: The Spy who Shagged me.

Appreciates Silver Moon's support and begins a lengthy description of a PC I once ran that actually hailed from Silverymoon (FR) - laughs are heard all around - but then turns quite nasty in response to his opinion about the pathetic movie sequels, lauding the fact that the new "Charlie's Angels" movie will be 3.5E backwards-compatible with Drew Barrymore playing the iconic gnome bard with several perform ranks in the tuba.

 

[baradtgnome]

Points out that Baradtgnome has not responded from last week's SilverMoon post, so has obviously chosen to conceed defeat on all points.

I'm a little confused, did you mean concede ? I couldn't be that you spelled it wrong? Unless this is a new word meaning deny emphatically because he is so totally right that it leaves no doubt in any but the most underdeveloped minds that there is no alternative!

Berates Baradtgnome for once again raising the topics of Shakespeare, Monkeys, Cheeze Wiz and I Dream of Jeannie.

points out that...

someone else brought up monkeys & cheese first. I merely connected the dots between then. Cheeze Wiz is a registered trademark not to be confused with real cheeze. And the I Dream of Jeannie discussion was settled in her favor, so I don't need to bring it up again.

Any implication that I am also posting under the psuedonym of Baraendur is totally false, and is as offensive to me as I am sure it is to him

posts link to my alt-thaumaturge/ranger class. rants that the fighter class is broken and who would take one because of the hole caused by the rule in question

 

[Silver Moon]

SilverMoon makes claim that the error is spelling was actually caused by EN World itself, as the board was in the process of going down simultaneous to the message being posted. Is actually a blatant lie, as board was up for a good half hour thereafter.

Challenges Baradtgnome to a duel. Cans of Silly String at 20 paces. Asks jdavis to be his second. Points out that Baraendur and Baradtgnome do indeed have the same first four letters in their name, and questions whether anyone has ever seen them together in the same room?

Attaches picture of the chariot race from the film Sparticus, photoshopping out Kirk Douglas's face and inserting Baraender's new aviatar photo.

Departs without making any mention of either the original topic or Gibberlings.

(Reads Baraendur's next Post, corrects spelling errors)

Sit back and smile, noting all of the sepillng errors in the recent posts.

Deny that I am baradtgnome, although I do have an alt.ID - can anyone guess who? Challenge baradtgnome to a duel just to straighten out the identity issue once and for all.

I challenge myself to a duel to definitively decide who rules the Galaxy, Potato cannons at dawn.

Post my personal belief that 3.5 is just a baseless rumor designed to get people talking. Makes mention that we have never seen Baraendur and 3.5 in the same room with each other, makes note that we have never seen Baraendur and George Bush Sr. in the same room with each other, Thus my conclusion that 3.5 edition is actually a clever ruse designed by the World Banking syndicate. Promptly challenges the World Banking syndicate to a duel in Kitchen Stadium to determine for once and all who makes the best chicken pot pie.

Makes list of D&D rules that are broken, which is actually just a copy of the index of the Players handbook, then go on to argue that each one of these rules is not actually broken by using stick figure diagrams with witty subtext to prove my point.

 

[Silver Moon]

I challenge myself to a duel to definitively decide who rules the Galaxy, Potato cannons at dawn....argue that each one of these rules is not actually broken by using stick figure diagrams with witty subtext to prove my point.

Agree to act as jdavis's second for the duel, provided that I can figure out which jdavis I am for and which one I am against.....points out that there is an error in stick figure diagram #35B on page #18, second column. Provides for a correction, which includes circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one of them.

Gets back to the orginal topic, making an analogy to the use of the rule to our solar system. Explains how the character classes represent the planets, the 3.5E DMG is the Sun, Baraendur's throughs about it are the rings around venus, and that Baradtgnome is the giant spacecraft from the film "Independence Day" that is coming to destroy the earth. Realizes that the analogy makes little sense, but should win a few points for creativity.

Explains how Volume II of the Gibberlings Project will be delayed due to problems at the printer. Contemplates releasing Volume III first, using whiteout to change all III's to II's. Points out that whiteout was created by the mother of one of the Monkees. Points out that the reference to Monkees related to the 1960's Rock group, and not to the primates typing Shakespeare.

Launches into a side tangent about the merits of recycling.

Adds comments regarding the thread about the rule restricting no more than 3 rangers from working together. Totally forgets that this was a 1st Edition rule, and that the thread in question was on the 1st Edition forum over on the Dragonsfoot board.

Attaches picture of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, photoshopping in Barander's new avatar picture.

Here to post something important as requested. (need a saluting smiley).

Seeing as this thread has gotten off track and is languishing in the netherrealms of EN World back pages. I give to you the definative proof that my opinion is right Mr T vs Everything: http://www.mrtvseverything.com/ all the Mr T vs. sights you can stomach. My logic is irrefutable, what were we discussing?

 

[molonel]

enters

Enters thread. Completely clueless about anything discussed in the last five pages of posts. Makes a lame stab at trying to grasp the subject matter of the argument. Gives a page number to a completely unrelated rules issue.

Then, when the conclusion of completely cluelessness becomes unavoidable, fires off a defensive post asking for a quick recap.

Point out that with logic like that, Chewbacca is not from Endor, therefore you MUST acquit.

Recap? We don't need no stinking recap. The thread speaks for itself (aparently in a language I don't understand).

Ah Ha now I have you......... no wait I don't, crap back to the drawing board.
