Yeah, this isn't worth it. Just more internet bullshit. Bye.

Admittedly I also overreacted, as my composure isn't too great, but I had time to think and am no longer omg-ing. While it was silly of me to tell Cramulus to "lurk more", not knowing that it was Cramulus kind of makes that whole thing moot. It's just confusing when someone makes an alt on a message board. You're a bunch of trolls, and trolls like to troll other trolls sometimes, its understandable. But when you make a forum alt and you're not trolling it's just confusing. Not saying you should kiss it and make it better or anything, that's not necessary at all.

I over-apologized, because I felt that I was in danger of losing my neutral lurker status here. I like lurking here, there are great ideas flying around and many of you are funny as hell and brutally, admirably honest. When something like the Debacle happens, I scramble to try and clean it up on my end instead of just letting it fester, I'm anxious, it's a fault of mine and I deal with it because I have to but sometimes it gets out of hand. To my relief things have smoothed out, so its not that big a deal anymore nor was it ever that big a deal.

Fuck that Phineas guy. In the ear.

I am one of Cramulus's alts too and that's no excuse, you don't see me being all stupid and reasonable and shit, so there.



And they always say "Hey triplezero, how come you and Phineas and Cramulus are never in the same room together, eh? What's up with THAT?", well I let you know what's up with that, I'd totally fucking Phineas for being such a n00b. In the ear. In his fucking diabetic-ass pasty ear.

But then Cram is all like "noooo you guys shouldn't fight"

And I respect that. So that's why I'm not in the same room as him.

...oh. It's like /that/. MY BRAIN AND SPINE 

This can mean only one thing - more Anne Rice novels. About whampires.

True, but then this thread would be exceptionally annoying if I answered everybody's questions with questions, wouldn't it?

As far as things bothering me go, not really. I'm obscenely relaxed in a hammock right now.

I say obscenely because I am not wearing pants.

The Questions Only game is fun, but not relaxing. And you know, I have no pants either!

That is not a question.

Nor is what you just said. 

Is there something in particular bothering you, like reclining/sitting position, itching, nagging thoughts?

That is not bad cheap beer. You could be drinking Coors, as some mistake it for beer.

What are you drinking/did you just drink?

[properly tested.]

Fuck that. Cram's posts were only any good because he was a pretend noob. Rather than going and doing something radical like giving everyone a fair chance, let's settle down and think this through!
Maybe we can do a quick history check on noobs we want to react negatively to and ensure that:

A) The rest of the tribe haven't already grown fond of the noob, in which case your lashing out at them may jeopardise your own status.

AND

B) That the noob hasn't outed themselves or been outed as the alt of someone with something interesting to say.

Otherwise the rule stands true.
Real noobs have nothing of value to add until they've been properly tested.

Zyxyx, real noob.

Look, I've been mostly lurking or making brief comments on things this past month or so because I know I don't have much to say yet. Having assumed Phineas was also new, I suggested he do what I was doing. Never would have done so if I knew he was a long-term member of this board, especially one whose posts I particularly enjoy reading.

[really]

Well, that's embarrassing. I assumed that someone with a low post count is, you know, new, new like me. But I guess I'm in the dickhead corner now.

Read my full OP. We are all far too guilty of that very thing.

Yes, just reread it. What makes it worse is I'm /actually/ new. Embarrassing.

It shouldn't matter if you are new is the point I am trying to make. Post count should not affect the way we judge a post.

Maybe all the lurking was a bad thing then, as I passively slurped that mode of judgment in without thinking about it. Does not knowing this alt was Cramulus make it worse? I have a feeling it does.

I really, really don't want to be an idiot. That's my life goal, to not be an idiot, knowing until then I must compensate for the dumb things I say and do. This is one of those dumb things.

And Dok Howl and everyone else who might have been offended, I newbed and posted what was a response to Phineas and decidedly NOT Cramulus. Starkest apologies! 

Fuck this noise.  I'm done.

Someone else can write this shit, and then you can all dump all over Cram (especially that idiot Zyzyx telling Cram to "lurk more") without my involvement.  Doesn't fucking matter anyway, because I was dumb enough to post in Apple Talk, where it will be buried alive under "man bites shark" threads within hours.

EDIT: EDIT: Shit.

Also cameras and twisted social experimentation. If Vaults are going to become a reality, we at least need to start pumping hallucinogens into the air filtration systems.

But if post-apocalyptic survival fiction has taught me anything, it is to be competent, mobile, in a group and well-equipped. Don't know if I'll actually survive, or what I'll exactly do. Nor am I sure I'd live, even in a group.

But don't you think it'd take more than an economic collapse to do us in? Apparently Argentina's recent economic collapse didn't change much for them, and they kept using their currency. Let's get Cain in on this.
