Is there anything more for me?

[Beary666]

Hey, maybe someday they will add those little icons under your number of posts... like 50 posts is a shield, 500 is a battleaxe, 5000 is a nut-cracker, 10000 is a helm. One can dream for it right?

Used to do stars under your forum name in the old forums.

That is a bet, sirrah! One mug of coffee says that I'll still be higher up the piramid in one week from now than you are. Excess spamming will terminate the contest though. *cough*

I don't drink coffee, I'll do it for tea.

Oh sorry, I was already envisioning my own win

If tea's your fancy, then fine with me. But I'll stick to the coffee.

are so annoying and such a waste fo time on the forums as far as im concerned. All this i walk into a inn and and give this big long discriptive what ya did and how it happens, to give no helpfull information at all drives me nuts and is such a waste of time. Wished all you numbskulled spammers that do it just to up their freakin post count would get blasted into oblivion. *pulls hair out of my head*

What are so annoying? Forum accounts of events? Thnig is, in RL, you'd hear about these things through gossip of an evening, having a beer. That does not happen here, so the boards fill that role.

Well personally I liked that one. It is certainly far from retarded to my mind. It serves to allow someone to have something they have done reach a wider audience and make sure something grizzly was reported, as it would have been, and further an IC relationship.

Was the first thing you wrote directed at that thread or this one? If it was directed at me, well, you are entitled to your opinion, but despite my good-natured joshing (maybe you could even call it bonding) with WW my intention is not too boost my post count, but to have a laugh and entertain myself, as I do not watch TV and am currently at home all day and evening recovering from an operation, and living with my parents in an area I know no-one, hence the absurd jump in my rate of posting.

1) You left off a critical part of the post
2) I doubt it was fiction

[downsystem]

// ooc Ok maybe its not fiction, but its definitely a waste of time to post some minor skirmish like that, and it was definitely posted only to up his forum count. It was only a example of someone that posts something irrelevent as far as im concerned, just for that purpose.

[Dralix]

Or maybe you aren't the intended audience. I'm fairly certain that there was a point to that post. I'm fairly certain I know what it is, but then again it's well established that I spend too much time reading the boards.

[Fuzz]

It's also entirely rude and inappropriate to include the name of the person you're quoting ina post that's basically saying that his post is worthless and irrelevant.

Tact, people. Geez.

[Wyrmwing]

There is a far higher meaning to that post than the raising of post count (which was probably the last thing on this player's mind when he wrote the post). Add to that I'm fairly sure what the meaning is (and it should not even be that hard to figure out), and that this player has probably did everything ig before he noted it on the boards, and I'm left to wonder why you're making a mountain out of a molehill. If you don't like the post, don't know what it means, or aren't involved, just ignore it.

Oh, and pc++

[Pathos Street]

If you don't like descriptive posts, don't read them. This dead horse has been beaten to a mushy pulp. Many people, myself among them, feel that posts of this nature contribute in a positive manner to the milieu of Avlis, and so they stay.

I'm pretty darn sure that there is a point to the post you quoted, and that post count is not important to the people who take the time to write IC descriptive posts.

I have to ask, who are you to think this is irrelevent? Do you know the person who posted? The situation that led to the post? The character who acted out what was described in the post?

I highly doubt you do, and I seriously suggest you find out before continuing.

To totally derail this thread, I hate people who can't take the time to spell-check. There, I wrote it out for all to see.

[Talwin Hawkins]

It meant something to me. If you want to rant, use the rants forum and learn some manners while your there.

[Dralix]

That's why I like Opera. Of course I don't always spell check my posts. And I hate myself for it.

[Marleh]

I like opera too, but don't you think its interesting that the Phantom of the Opera is a musical? What makes an opera, if not that? I'm so confused.

I learned not to 'type in the box' as it were, because potentially the post could be lost, so I always use Notepad to write a post, then ctrl-c/ctrl-v to post it. Saves a lot of headache when having to retype a long post, and it spell-checks.

[Pathos Street]

I believe we were talking about Fifty and Wyrmwing's post counts? Sheesh.

I ask you to visit this thread:

viewtopic.php?t=40644&highlight=

And check some of my postings there. If something is still unclear, let me know where your character lives so that I can demonstrate more clearly.

And btw, this isn't rants... yet.

[Dralix]

What I found interesting was the reference to opera in Les Miz, which I always took to be a bit of a dig at Phantom. That's probably only because at the time I thought of it, they were competing with each other, if you will, for Toronto audiences.

Although I was thoroughly impressed with Phantom when I finally saw it earlier this year, I still like Les Miserables better. I just can't get enough of Eponine.

[Fifty]

Whereas I can't stand musicals, and think they are a complete waste of time as far as I am concerned. Opera is great, but musicals are just pathetic wastes of stages intended by hack writers to get their count of musicals up and get more oney in their pockets. Musicals are a waste of time and retarded in my opinion, because it is just to look good. If you want to tell a story accompanied by music, have it translated into Italian and sung by fat people. All this stuff in musicals that is onl relevant to people who like musicals, that gives nothing useful to people who only like car chase movies.... I mean, why should I go to a West End theatre and have to sit through a musical? I just wish all numbskulled musical writers like Andwer Lloyd Webber would just stop uppin' their frikkin box office takings and get blasted into oblivion.

Sorry to rant, but this is pretty stupid to me.

[Fifty]

Can we get back on topic and talk about ME now please?

[Marleh]

Well, that may be true about Eponine, but Les Mis is just too depressing for words. Of course I'm waiting for Disney to pick up the rights to make it into an "animated classic" any day now...

*looks at his title* I need to post more.
