    **** I'm sorry dude. Didn't mean to dig at anyone with autism.

    I don't have to. The definition does not require it, therefore it is not a requirement. If you disagree, show me exactly which part of "Role-Playing Game" the requirement for an advancement leveling mechanic is.
  3. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Is that an English thing or a middle-age thing?
  4. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I can't give you an example because you're asking me to provide an example of something that I've never argued should exist. Really? You haven't argued that Roleplaying is the ONLY thing required for something to be called an RPG? Was it a different KaineParker, then, who said this? ^Emphasis yours. You know what Stun, you're right. I assumed that you were capable of understanding "game" as "a group of rules or challenges". My fault for assuming that you have an elementary level of reading ability, I apologize for assuming competence on your part. In language hopefully even Stun is capable of comprehending, a Role-Playing Game must have 1) Role-Playing and 2) a group of rules or challenges. I've never claimed such a thing existed, so no. Now, please prove your claim that a Role-Playing Game must 1) contain an advancement mechanic and 2) must meet "the laws of capitalism". I've already given a refutation of both with 1) nothing in the name Role-Playing Game presents a requirement for advancement mechanics and 2) Not only are those laws non-existent, but by that logic John Carpenter is not a Sci-Fi movie because it flopped. 1. You hit the nail on the head. 2. I hope so as well. The alternative is honestly frightening.

    One of us is using actual definitions and proper use of English. The only is throwing a butthurt tantrum. You are the latter princess.

    I can't give you an example because you're asking me to provide an example of something that I've never argued should exist. If use of the word "game" is that over your head, I highly suggest educating yourself on the function of nouns.
  7. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I used the word game in every instance, it was clear I was talking about games specifically. If that went over your head, you should become acquainted with the function of nouns.I see. So then, you should have no problems whatsoever citing me one Game.... one Role Playing Game in the history of computer gaming, that had Role Playing and NOTHING ELSE. Oh Boy! A Likes contest!! What are you, 12? Stun, are you mentally ill? No sane person is this pedantic.

    MCA certainly has good taste in comics. I agree that Snyder's run is very good, particularly the Death of the Family arc that featured The Joker.
  9. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Yes. Your life has been a lie. I used the word game in every instance, it was clear I was talking about games specifically. If that went over your head, you should become acquainted with the function of nouns. Again, a role-playing game is a game with role-playing. There is no requirement for any specific mechanics. None of my statements contradict that in any whatsoever. Judging by the "likes" my posts received, tajero and aluminumtrioxide both got that.

    Wait, is that your wife? If so, well done Hurlie.

    Well, this federal employee thanks you! Well, if I look at it as buying you a drink (or many) it does take some of the sting out of it I wouldn't temp Enoch with a drink just yet, he has to show a measure of control till Mrs. Enoch pops out Enoch JR.
  14. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I would laugh at this, but I'm starting to think you really are this obtuse. In every instance discussing Role-Playing Games, I used the word "Game". Game is a noun, Stun. Surely I don't have to explain the concept of a noun to you? If I say "the only thing a role-playing game requires to be a role-playing game is role-playing", it is very clear to anyone with a basic understanding of English that I'm talking about a game. Not a graphic novel, television show, software program, chat room, or novel, but a game. If you aren't capable of following that, then I highly suggest taking a beginner's course in English.

    I think Watchmen's real strength is the splendid use of panels. I'll have to dig out my trade, but I remember being very impressed with how the most seemingly random elements were either foreshadowing or played a part in the story. A shame that Moore's recent work is such dreck.

    I personally enjoy comics as a story-telling medium. Most are pure ****, but the few good ones manage to combine good pencils and writing in a pleasing manner.

    I would pity you, but I'm a soul-less monster without a shred of decency. Enjoy having Aerie whine every fifteen minutes!

    I'd like to dig down in some hidden locations.

    Happy Birthday Nep! I hope you have a wild encounter with a tattooed analyst with a Masters in Economics. Someone is either trying to get laid or is euphoric after doing so.

    I've always felt that choice is more important than consequence. While having reaction to choice is certainly nice, not every action will result in significantly different NPC reaction, but is still good when role-playing a character.

    That it is possible to do more in Baldur's Gate as ANY class than in Punch-Out, because Baldur's Gate is more that a rapid succession of fights featuring one player-controlled toon. If you wanted to make the point that "In combat featuring only a single player controlled toon, a Fighter in Baldur's Gate can do far less than Little mac in Punch-Out", you need to specifically note that you are talking solely about combat encounters featuring a single player-controlled toon. Those circumstances will be all of four fights in Baldur's Gate: Shank, Carbos, the rats, and Jondalar. After that, all parties in Baldur's Gate can contain more than one player controlled-character, not to mention exploration, dialogue choices, and quest completion that is not found in Punch-Out. If Role-Playing Games Required anything more than a Game with Role-Playing, it would be in the name. Since we don't call them "Role-Playing Games with advancement mechanics", there is no law that requires Role-Playing Games to have an advancement mechanic. I recommend using a dictionary to look up "Role-Playing" and "Game". No Stun, those are game mechanics. We are talking about Role-Playing Games, remember? Stating that Baldur's gate as a game has more features than Punch-Out is stating facts. None of those things are intrinsic to the leveling system embedded into the game. Again, it isn't a "level advancement game", it is a "Role-Playing Game". The ability to Role-Play is the only requirement for the game. Everything else, including certain mechanics, are not essential components to the role-playing game. If a game was labeled as a Role-Playing Game and contained nothing but Flight Simulation and advancement mechanics, then that would be false labeling. If a game was labeled as a Role-Playing Game and did not include advancement mechanics, but did heavily encouraged player character role-playing, then that would be a correct labeling. The distinction being that one's main draw is role-playing while the other's is flying a plane. A Sci-Fi film that flopped. Is John Carter not a Sci-Fi film because it performed badly?

    Today I learned that a species of ****roach has two penises, and it is a common occurrence for one to be ripped off during intercourse. I'm going to get a drink.

    If any of you steal my "Deep One Dating" idea, I will hunt you down. On-Topic: I've found that my schedule is hectic at best, but would be willing to take a crack at it.

    Damn it Sarex, go back to the owl!

    A level 1 fighter can choose to attack from far away or within reach, can that be done in Punch-Out? Yes, which are all things a level 1 Fighter can do in Baldur's Gate. You have played the game, right? No, it would take a rather liberal reading to come to either one of those conclusions. And I pointed out that a Fighter could do far more in Baldur's gate than the toon could do in Punch-Out. Baldur's Gate is more than a series of combat encounters featuring a single toon. Then I must have played a different Baldur's gate. I remember a PC being able to kill Dynaheir and Minsc or Edwin, spare or kill both of Sarevok's squeezes, assist or destroy the thieve's guild, attack guards who threaten the PC or flee, choose to abandon the Gorion's instructions and wander aimlessly around the Sword Coast. The ability of a game to sell has no bearing on whether it is a valid implementation of a genre. Are you going to argue that John Carter wasn't a Sci-Fi movie because it flopped? Not only me, just anyone capable of applying the correct definitions to things. Well, Saint's Row has finished. Enjoy your butthurt Stunny-boo.
