Posting ITT to remind everyone I have relevant and important opinions on this subject that you should listen to.































OK, I'm done.  As you were.

:mittens:

Best post ITT.

BTW, I don't know if the six hundred various game threads are considered "content" but I think they're totally stupid and I don't read them.

Also, I think that anyone who is bitching about fluff but has not posted a single original essay, piece of fiction, or other artwork over the last year needs to suck up the whining and create some goddamn content.

I might be wrong here but it just sounds like ECH is sick of reading through all the dribble to get to the good stuff and wants to do some work elsewhere with the people that do post content.
Maybe?

It seems reasonable to me. I mean, I wouldn't feel excluded if I wasn't invited to join in the reindeer games because, admittedly, I don't often post anything worth looking at.
So why not have a different place with good stuff happening and leave this place to get the juices flowing and keep up the inspiration for it?

It just sounds like putting good work in another "folder", so to speak.

Or am I wrong.

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

I don't know what other forum he's talking about. HIMEOBS?

Whatever. I don't have time for that many forums. I'm either fully invested in this one or, if I am not considered a worthy contributor, I'll go invest elsewhere.

If someone wants to start a project, I'll check it out and I'll participate if it interests me.

Sir Squid Diddimus

I don't know what other forum either.
But I don't really have much to contribute so it doesn't really affect me.

You do contribute a lot of really good stuff though, so I'm sure you wouldn't be excluded?
I dunno.

Y'know, I was talking to my bro the other day about the werewolf game and he brought up a good point. The game itself is an exercise in dealing with/manipulating/interpreting information, which in alot of ways is at the heart of every GASM. The game itself may be just a game, but it is also a type of exercise to keep your mind sharp when looking at and manipulatiing info and the way people perceive said info. It may not be content but it's really a sort of training exercise.

Life is an exercise in manipulating people.

Werewolf just makes it easier by giving you set rules, set goals and a limited number of actors.

Fuck this.  All I know is that I understand what ECH is trying to say, and to a point I agree.  He's a rock n roller, and sometimes it's hard to read people bitching when you really want to stomp around, pick fights, and stuff shit into your system while someone blasts loud music.   It's hard to read Monday morning when you feel like Saturday night, right?

ECH would fit right in with our crew...He'd know Tucson instantly, and it would know him.  That may not sound like a compliment, in some circles, but it is coming from me.  Not everyone can handle this place.  It's simply too fucking weird, too full of horror and diseased failure.  You have to be serious about having a good time, here.  You have to eat the hell out of that cheeseburger, as the man said.  You have to be prepared, to be ready, when the weird comes oozing up through the floorboards in some horrible fucking juke joint and everything goes sideways, and Bob Seger wails from the sound system while barstools fly and teeth hit the floor.

So I can see where the blog threads would go up one nerve and down another...Sometimes I look at all the "look at me" threads, and sit and seethe in hatred.  But other times, most times, I realize that you kind of need that shit, if only for grist.  Ninety percent of my writing comes from either horrible shit I see in Tucson, or horrible shit people write in blog threads.

With that in mind, I'm gonna say this:  I think everyone is overreacting.

Jesus, there are alot of simpering pantywaists on this fucking forum.

In my OP, I voiced some opinions about the current state of PD and revealed my desire to re-engage in a project on ANOTHER FORUM. Not an "elite of PD" forum, or a "secret PD forum", or any of that dumb shit or anything to do with PD at all.

ANOTHER.

FUCKING.

WEBSITE.

ENTIRELY.

YOU.

MINCING.

LITTLE.

DICKWHISTLES.

So get your fucking soiled panties unbunched, nobody's gonna do anything RADICAL to your fucking PRECIOUS "community" (in quotes to reflect the irony of that term being applied by MOST of the people who toss it around so casually. I like alot of you and there are several of you I'd go to the mat for, even IRL, but 95% of you wouldn't rate my piss to extinguish you if you were on fire. That sort of percentage is, IMO, not indicative of a true "community") here at PD.fuckingrainbowsandunicornfarts.motherfuckingcom.

Fuck.

Oh, if you're talking about reinstalling the other other board with the intent of crushing the internets as a whole, you can count Commander Ringmeat in.

Fuck it, I give up.  I can't make a simple statement without it being buried by some pretentious retard (Looking at you, FP and PGF) who just HAS TO SHOW HOW BRILLIANT A FUTURIST THEY ARE.  Sometimes ECH makes a really good point.

God, how I fucking hate you all.

my wrongness has jeopardized everything that once made this site special. PD.com is now just barely better than Mysticwicks/The Cellar/TCC/etc.

TCC gets a mention....  8)
