Bay 12 Games Forum

I can only watch people hang themselves so much, man.

Nah, for real. If I had half the aptitude you seem to have for AR (from what I hear) I'd be twice as productive.

My secret is weed and coffee and a healthy dose of being able to fabricate bullshit on the fly that makes players think I know what I’m doing.

I’ve considered something like a PbP DnD, or some FEF-like that uses DnD as a basis instead, but I’ve found myself preferring to run team-based games when the medium is a forum. It’s neat and not something I’d looked into enough to see if it’d been done here, but I think I’ve found my niche.

Yeah just conveniently leave out the times you said you actually would provide evidence or discuss the issue, or other people asking you to back up your claims. You can reframe the conversation as much as you want but anyone can just go back a couple pages and see you’re full of shit here.

There's no purpose to continuing to argue about this. I can understand your frustration, but the best thing for everyone here would be to just stop.

While you aren’t wrong, I don’t think you’re entirely right either. It would definitely be better for most of our mental healths if we didn’t play into rosehearts complexes, but at the same time he always tends to push things until more reasonable people convince everyone involved to just move on. This has led to roseheart pulling the same shit over and over with no accountability for himself. The big issue with just letting it go is we’re largely a self regulating community, and most of us know better than to bother this sites glorious administration with petty lower board bullshit.

This dude has to stop at some point, and just letting him go off with unsubstantiated claims feeds into him just as much as trying to hold him accountable.

I don’t think there is a singular healthy response to this guy anymore. In the past I gladly dropped issues once cooler heads showed up and chilled my composure. At this point though it’s clear he’s just toxic, but again, I don’t think he’s worth the administration’s effort.

In two months he’s just going to start the bullshit claims cycle anew. Do we just let that be a staple of our community? Someone actively saying the community itself is shitty?

I don’t want to feed into his crap, but he really needs to quit making shit up/blowing things out of proportion. I’d much rather he figure things out through his peers than a time out or ban.

What’s the point of posting my message to you here?

I was trying to be mature about it, keep from having this thread bogged down into a roseheart woe is me thread and instead try to maintain its actual purpose. I gave you legitimate advice I myself have taken. But you want to be petty and continue to stoke divion in this community. You can only do that so much before you’re actively blacklisted by people. But you want that, don’t you? To have an excuse to play the victim some more?

You definitely need to do more than just “take a walk”. And really, honestly, seriously do some introspection.

How about

Hey someone else needs to run a founders-type game so I can actually play in it.

It looks like someone else said something that you never verified as your only evidence. I'm not going to assume something someone else said is what you were talking about. That's putting words in someones mouth and is generally in poor taste.

Let’s be real chief.

You’re not being funny. Trying to paint a brush of widespread bigotry and exclusion in our community, then getting called out for it and subsequently proven outright wrong, is not funny. When you’re backed into a corner after people realize you’re full of shit after you actively ignore everything you can’t twist to fit your own view is not the time to try to be the funny guy.

What you have done on multiple occasions now is fabricate problems within our community that do not exist and then try to play the crusader.

You are essentially doing what Elon Musk has been doing regarding Ukraine: making bullshit statements but framing them in a way that disagreeing with you would be taking an objectively bad stance. (For reference, he tweeted a poll about whether or not people should have the right to self-determination after everyone refused to acknowledge Russia’s referendums in Ukraine)

I’d probably not care much to respond again if I didn’t realize your post before the video link entirely admitted you were dealing with hypothetical situations. Which sounds like another way of saying you were bullshitting.

Why am I saying this? Because whether you think so or not, when you do this shit it does actively come off as creating problems to create division for the sake of…nothing. I’m pretty sure you think you’re acting in the community’s best interest, but you really, really need to think about how you go about things. This, again, isn’t the first time you’ve made claims that hold no water under scrutiny, and at some point you will come off as actively malicious and get shitcanned for it.
