Icerus Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I read some threads here and found so many people talking about communism, capitalism etc. So, is that true? All Mighty Obsidian, lord of all RPGs, you are making a RPG with alignment of Left and Right, not only Good or Evil? Lawful or Chaos? This is splendid, really splendid, however, I do hope, that your understanding of left wing theories are deep and accurate, unlike many other games just print a big "bad" sign on all communist things. I don't want to set the world on fire...
Enoch Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 What you're seeing is mostly the result on one guy who think's it's fun to be a hardcore marxist troll. Pay it no mind.
213374U Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Don't listen to Enoch, he works for The Man! - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Pat yourself on the back LoF, there's at least one person who bought your joke character.
Oblarg Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Pat yourself on the back LoF, there's at least one person who bought your joke character. LoF is half of the reason I read these forums every day. "The universe is a yawning chasm, filled with emptiness and the puerile meanderings of sentience..." - Ulyaoth "It is all that is left unsaid upon which tragedies are built." - Kreia "I thought this forum was for Speculation & Discussion, not Speculation & Calling People Trolls." - lord of flies
Trenitay Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 LoF isn't a troll or a joke! Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.

LoF is half of the reason I read these forums every day. Your life must be exciting. You have really no appreciation for top-notch trolling. I feel sorry for you.

Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) It was mildly entertaining at first, but just as Volo's "NWN1 is good" has worn out like multiple-use toilet paper, so has LoF's "capitalism is teh badz, communism FTW" shtick. A dynamic troll is a successful troll. Edited October 14, 2009 by Purkake
kreese12 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 We don't have ALL that much to talk about here though. LoF is like the spice of the forums. We need him !
Raithe Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 What we need are suitable Alpha Protocol related Motivational posters... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
lord of flies Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Having played the game, I would say that Purkake is a terrible poster. Also, there's not a really good "communist" option, though that sort of makes sense, since Great Man posturing is the home of the "liberal" bourgeois historians, not us Marxist-Leninists. You can, however, play as an anti-imperialist or an imperialist - the proverbial boot stamping on the face of all mankind forever.

lord of flies Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 By the way, Purkake, I've long since put you on ignore. I assume you posted some dumb .gif or something in place of actual content?
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Your powers of clairvoyance are second to none. Have you considered working for the NSA? Too bad you won't be seeing my post... Also,

All Mighty Obsidian, lord of all RPGs, you are making a RPG with alignment of Left and Right, not only Good or Evil? Lawful or Chaos? This is splendid, really splendid Poster's alignment has shifted 5 points to economic left (38), and five points to liberal (38). Poster's alignment has shifted from Social Democrat to Anarchist That actually is a rather nice concept, though likely to be too controversial to be actually used any time soon, I fear.
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Can't wait to unlock my ultra marxist's "5 year plan" special ability. Someone make the economic alignment matrix and think of some cool prestige classes. Those abilities would be right at home in Freedom Force, btw.
Perseus Veil Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Alpha Protocol 2 during second world war would be great.
Purkake Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Alpha Protocol 2 during second world war would be great. It's called Saboteur.

Perhaps that's why anarchism and communism never caught on more than they have: Because there isn't much money to be made in promoting them

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Perseus Veil Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Alpha Protocol 2 during second world war would be great. It's called Saboteur. Nah, i want the battle of Berlin with choices and consequences (and headslam, of course).
