This is a Review (Return of the Metathread)

[Darrin Drader]

Politely but firmly tells Brent Nall to stuff it.

Replies to Wystan with a snarky passive/aggressive mod-safe comment that not only refutes the point he is attempting to make, but also states that the reversal on previously stated point was a farce and that the original point stands. Confuses the issue with the post count issue due to an overdose of coffee. Cries in coffee about opinions not being respected while at the same time laughing that so many people fell for such an obvious troll.

*rants and condemns product in review, while failing to actually read said book*

Wonders how the almost-daily updates to our Story Hour will be posted if the author has "a few days to cool off."

 

[reveal]

Disregards every single post in this thread and reiterates every single point made in every other post. Makes snide comment about not reading the rest of the thread.

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Asks reviewer if product is as good as FATAL.

Fail to leave emoticon that would provide crucial clue as to whether I am joking or not.

 

[Evilhalfling]

Compares product unfavorably to a similar product published in a earlier addition or different game. Ignores all prevous comments. Never appears again on thread.

 

[wingsandsword]

Randomly performs thread necromancy.

Wonders if the errata for the product is out yet and if there is a a follow-up intended.

Arrggh! I hate threadnomancy! Can't we actually have some original content?

[forgets the thread is metathread. Has to edit his post to tone down his original flame.]

 

[Tanager]

posts a meanigless me too post without referring to what was being agreed with in a shameless attempt to a)fit in and b) increase post count

 

[MonsterMash]

Pulls out some new product that has been released by one of the major game publishers and proceeds to write a review. Make several conflicting statements, thrash on several insignifficant minor points in the book, but then praise it for equally insignifficant points. Make inflamatory remarks about the people who would write such a product, those who would use such a product, and question why they are keeping said company in business. Make comparisons to other completely unrelated products by smaller publishers. Finish review by tossing in a couple buzzwords, invoke Gary Gygax, insert a fnord, and end with thinly disguised rhetoric that subtly suggests that we overthrow Eric's Grandma.

Discuss.

Damn, you've been copying my reviewing techinique haven't you!
