lord of flies

I love DRM because it's basically just a way to **** paying customers over for no reason. After maybe five days any pirate can grab a DRM free copy so only paying customers have to deal with it. lmao lmao. Capitalism!

They can't ban me. I'm the best poster.

Haha :D. Just out of curiosity what's your current pledge level? $20.

Oh, yeah, you know what would make elves even better? If they were even more like racist white people. NO THANKS. Also please don't use the term "lesser races," it's offensive.

Let's talk about elves. Light-skinned, nordic features, constantly lamenting the fact that their low birth rates have doomed them to a slow oblivion, constantly talking about how much better they are than all the "lesser" races, "oppressed" by the terrible "lesser" races... sound familiar? Yeah, elves are basically white supremacists. Look, I see enough of that **** outside of video games. I don't want to be playing some fantasy RPG and suddenly be approached with a guy who jumped right out of Stormfront. I will pay upwards of $5,000 if you include absolutely zero elves. This is in addition to my previous offer.

Man, what a classic tactic. End all discussion by just declaring "oh, you're not being reasonable, come to the table and 'debate' my 'compromise'". Guess what, sometimes the middle ground is wrong mother****er. What was the middle ground during the 1850s in the USA? Slavery would be ended someday much later, maybe slaves would be treated nicer in the meantime. Between democracy and absolutism? Between liberty and tyranny? Between kicking all heterosexual characters out of the narrative and not doing that? The middle ground is a lie. It was never real.

...and Projects that have to be funded by 30,000 different people. That's life, man. Until you become the sole investor of such a project, you cannot realistically expect to succeed with a no-compromize mindset. "Realistic expectations" is what the fools who are lead to the slaughterhouse claim they have when they refuse to resist. "Realism" is a code for abandonment of hope, of dreams, of passion. Was it realistic to expect a million dollars in investment in 24 hours? Was it realistic when Stalin was repeatedly imprisoned by the Tsarist government for robbing banks? Was it realistic when Roosevelt chose to leave behind his position as Governor of New York to became Vice President, a pointless position of little power? Perhaps not, but history turns on "unrealistic" decisions, made by men and women who dream of better things.

I'm not afraid of heterosexual men. Who would be afraid of them? Ooh, look at me, I can have sex with people who are smaller and less socially powerful than me in a way my society reinforces and calls natural. PLEASE.

Whoa whoa whoa, I don't want to encourage violence against heterosexuals. Jesus! It's not their fault. Whoa, where to start? Firstly, rape: namely, women raping men (r/mensrights), and if women had magical powers they'd probably do it even more. Secondly, gay men can have heterosexual sex, they just choose not to. Thirdly, if nothing else, some kind of ritualized impregnation-focused orgy would probably come into existence. Fourthly, there are bisexual men. Fifthly, I never said no heterosexuals in the WORLD, just in the GAME. The parts of the world you interact with just so happen to have absolutely no straight men. Ah, yes, the "Old School," when men were real men, women were real women, and homosexuals had to hide in the closet for fear of being beaten to death. No thanks, buddy boy. Point taken. But seriously, your best bet is to be reasonable, because you're not funding this project by yourself. I doubt anyone here has any problem whatsoever with Obsidian putting in a bunch of Homosexuals in the game. or even giving us a gay-centric questline or 2 (personally, I think that'd be pretty darn cool, actually). But I can assure you that the money you have will not be enough to make Project Eternity a GAY-ONLY rpg, So if I were you, I'd put myself in compromise mode. You just might manage to get 1/2 of what you want. One half of what I want? More like one half of what I *don't* want. Compromise is for liberals and social democrats. I'm a real man. Guess what, exclusive heterosexuality... is not what nature intended. The overwhelming evidence, from historiography of Christian Europe until the reforms of the 12th century, to the writings of Europeans in Middle Eastern societies during the 19th century, to the experiences of China, Japan, etc, to our close biological neighbors the bonobo and chimpanzee, to our more distant ones like almost every animal around, show that some degree of homosexual behavior is a natural part of the male half of the species. Men want to have gay sex. Deal with it.

Alright, obviously this is not ideal, and the kidnapper had better come forward and return disappearing Trotsky, but I think I've managed to rig up something acceptable.

Ah, yes, the "Old School," when men were real men, women were real women, and homosexuals had to hide in the closet for fear of being beaten to death. No thanks, buddy boy.

That sounds like you getting what you want and me NOT getting what I want, which isn't much of a compromise. I'd like to play a game just once where exclusive heterosexuality among men isn't catered to, and indeed is so UN-catered to that it doesn't even exist. Imagine Mass Effect, but instead of only having female options for dudeshep, you only have male options. Finally, straight dudes can learn what it feels like to not exist. Take that, mother****ers! I'd clarify that I'm not joking with a bank statement, but my bank is doing maintenance right now and I've gone paperless so...

I have quite a bit of money, and I am willing to pay upwards of $20,000 if you will remove all the straight men from the game. That's right, there should be no heterosexual men whatsoever, in the entire game. Not a one. Not even the player character. Obviously this will be tough to implement, but that's what all that extra money is for. If you're interested, contact me so we can hammer something out.

TVTropes is a the stupidest website ever, and has basically the worst possible perspective on everything to do with fiction-writing due to its bizarre obsession with devolving all media into a series of cogs. Peace.

lol, yeah the armor with holes in it is better for resisting arrows than the armor without holes in it. Look at the huge noob here. They invented chainmail piercing arrows in the 9th century. Get outta town 'fore a Viking shoots your ass with a bodkin arrow.

I'm serious. There's no point posting without disappearing Trotsky there, reminding us all of the importance of never questioning Stalin. Without him, my posts just become indistinguishable... Please tell me one of you saved him... I spent time and effort getting him just right... but now I can't see him anymore, and I can't seem to find my local copy... Imma cry... disappearing Trotsky, you were too good for this world...

Plate armor is objectively better than chainmail in pretty much every single way possible. Chainmail leaves all the weight hanging on the shoulders and so it is actually less easy to move in, in addition to being worse protection, and heavier. Plate armor, on the other hand, is mobile and easy to wear. People wearing plate armor can run, jump, do cartwheels, leap onto a horse without using the stirrup, jump over a horse, et cetera. Please make sure to represent this in your game, that I backed, THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Thank god, or we would have to suffer through this:

One soldier did a nice thing, all war crimes committed by Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan disappear.

I don't have anything against funny RPGs, I really enjoyed SR3. But, newsflash, South Park isn't funny.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, AKA Thing One and Thing Two, Writing a New South Park RPG

Nope. Obsidian's not writing it. I hope that you find it to be the worse game you've ever played, and wish that you hadn't wasted your money in such a blatantly stupid way.

They've written whole episodes defending the use of ethnic, homophobic, and sexist slurs. Their portrayal of sexualities besides "exclusive heterosexuality" is so bigoted that it's probably more heterosexist than something produced in the 1800s. ****. Them.
