Rhomal Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I still say that Bethesda and Obsidian should seek legal action against Exitium and RPG Codex for what was clearly misinformation about their respective companies and products done so in a malicious manner. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exitium? Oh yes, I remember Exitium from the old BIS forum, always behaving like a pompous, self-important ar*e ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. He really thinks hes someone special by the way he seems to put down everyone else down and insult them in 'news' postings. Issue with his self esteem if I was to take a educated guess.

Problem solved. - J.E. Sawyer --- "I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente --- Expecting "innovation" from Bioware is like expecting "normality" from Valve -Moatilliatta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 How did anyone get taken in by this april fools joke. come on Rpgcodex and NMA practically switch of years doing this stuff! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> timing. It was posted on the 31st, not April 1st. On April 1st it would have been amusing. On any other day it's not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Cedric Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 timing. It was posted on the 31st, not April 1st. On April 1st it would have been amusing. On any other day it's not funny. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I definitely agree with Darque. I hardly ever know what day it is anyway, and I came across this news story which was awesome. Lord knows I am so starved for a good RPG, that I jump at every opportunity. To find out later, that someone decided to play an April fools joke, on a day that isn't April 1 and you might see where some will believe. It is somewhat like the mirage in the desert. A thirsty man runs towards the oasis, and it is only when he starts drinking sand that her realizes his mistake. But then the next oasis he sees, he does the same thing. I am thirsty for some Fallout goodness, and got suckered by a mirage. I'll probably jump for the next false alarm as well. :"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargallath Abraxium Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 ...anyone that takes anything Excrementium says wit' anythin' but a grain o' salt 'pparently doesna know the lad...live an' learn, lads & lasses... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... 1 A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Again what is funny about it. It is a lie, a hoax, a libelous statement. I do not see humor in lies. Never have and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I don't see it as an attack, more like stating the truth about Exitium's character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 So.. if I was to write the following: "Hades is a crying, whining hypocrite" that would be okay as I'm just stating a fact about his character? Hmm.. Sure sounds like an attack to me. <> P.S. This was an example; not an attack.. this time. LOL DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Judge Hades Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I wouldn't say hypocrite, but a person whose mind changes on a whim. Somewhat manic depressive with an obsessive compulsive disorder thrown in for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

Blaise Russel Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hades used to post at Black Isle? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Visceris. The best thing about this joke is all the people bitching and whining because they got their hopes up but ultimately lack a sense of perspective. A *real* bad April Fool's Day joke is faking a hacker attack on a forum by deleting, one by one, all of the hosted project forums, then most of the other forums, leaving about six out of dozens left, then screwing it up so that you have to revert to a six-month old backup, all the while changing all the posts with a filter so that everyone talks in really bad, repetitive pirate speak, thank you very much HLP. Maybe not exactly that, but close enough for my purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaise Russel Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I'm partly inclined to agree. Jokes based solely around "haha i know something arbitrary you don't know" generally lack punch. More absurdist stuff is okay, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exitium Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I did for a bit, till I saw the original news post at RPGCodex.
