He is another in a long line of unimagintive twits who didn't get the BIP and wants to give it another makeover with more funnies and fnords and shit.

I don't think TSosBR!'s makeover is funny, but I prefer it greatly to the original.

Hate me if you'd like, but hate me.  Otherwise you're just stuck in your own little us versus them world.  That's no better than being a fundie.

Why?  Because it has more eye candy?

Aww, c'mon.  There's only 3 trite cliches in that line.  You can do better than that.

I'd have a really hard time being convinced that a project named "Lollercaust" is worth contributing to.  =P

QuoteWhy?  Because it has more eye candy?

Yep.  Would you watch Kiwi! for the music?

You're really more of a surface-level kind of guy aren't you?  

aww... why'd you have to go and drag me into this.

I don't wish my work to be viewed as a revamp any longer (as i stated in another thread), updates and explanation soon....

but back on topic:

BIP/PD etc. =  springboards

at least imo.

Hahahaha!  You've seen what I linked to and that's your question?

I don't know.  Do you still think all I want is for Discordian works to be funny?

Well, let's see.  You've bristled at "Lollercaust" just by the name without any further investigation and admit you like TSosBR's version of BIP better because it has more eye candy.  Sounds kinda surface-level to me. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

True.

But yes, I am writing it on my lonesome.  Not that I mind, its probably better this way.  I'm also probably one of the only four people who could write the 36 strategems appendix in the way I have suggested, as well (because you'd need to have been around a long time to remember all the times we used various gambits from that particular playbook).

Non-Rocket science 101

We (the forum) are a bunch of genuine human beings. Despite the fact that we are hiding behind avatars and internet persona's and stuff, which may make us appear as caricatures, we are just a bunch of people.

When someone new shows up to join our group, just like IRL, we try to get to know them. Unlike in IRL we do not have a whole bunch of non-verbal cues, like body language, eye contact, phrasing and emphasis and all the rest to go on. Round these webnet parts all we have is text.

So all you have is text to introduce yourself and allow us to make the inevitable decision on whether we (individually and as a group) like you or not but know this - we will judge you and what's more we'll judge you by our standards, using our criteria and there's nothing you can do to prevent this.

If you think this is hivemind or groupthink then congratulations - that's exactly what it is. Deal with it or fuck off.

FTR Arafelis - so far you're coming across as a bit of a dick. If you can't work out why and act to change this impression you are reinforcing, post after post, don't expect us to change our minds anytime soon. Feel free to get all butthurt and complain about the injustice of this.

No one here gives a fuck.  :lulz:

Ok, Past projects:

BIP
Shrapnel
Roger's Sermons
Discordian Tarot (it was a while ago, but at least it tried to be original)
Andrew Weishaupt Society
Choose your own adventure

Current Projects:
OMGASM
Memebombs
Lollercaust (on hold)
The Chao te Ching
Intermittens


The above are good search terms if you're interested in what some PD.com'rs have been up to that isn't all 23PinealFnords.



There.  

Another current project is the slow-going "New Testament".

this project appealed to me, if i had thought my writing skills were up to it i would have volunteered and found out it was a solo project sooner.
i think for consistency of writing style one author is probably the best way to go to get the best end result.. good luck with it..
