What an odd image. He's working for the European Union, but he looks vaguely Asian. He's wearing a combat helmet when it's obviously performing a desk job. Most interestingly, he's wearing a monocle. Why is that? That actually strikes me as more British than anything.

True, true.

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

It's one the pics MCA did when he did codex interview.

General discussion is a bit offensive, true. But the vast majority of racists and weirdos are mostly being offensive for the sake of it. Very few people actually are real nazis or whatever else you think they are.

 

I thought the rest of what you wrote was great and insightful, but I call bullocks on this. "I'm not really a racist, I just play one on the internet" is a pretty sad explanation.

Yeah, General Discussion's pretty much Stormfront lite. No idea why, or why so many people sign up to an RPG website to post three times in RPG Discussion then spend the next four years in GD hysterically wailing about the gay agenda. The admins attempted to crack down on it at one point (see the old "dear Nazi ****s" thread), but they've all pretty much given up. The moderators tend to do a good job of preventing it from bleeding into the other sections, the odd "how do black people play RPGs when they can't read?" thread gets expunged quickly enough. It's best just to ignore it.

You really take that nonsense seriously? The number of real racists on the Codex is probably limited to one hand. Seriously, don'tt ake it so seriously. It's not Stormfront.

What you are suffering from is called Stockholm Syndrome. I really encourage you to seek out therapy.

 

 

I tend to always take racism seriously, but I don't actually frequent the Codex, so don't worry too much about me.

You are ignorant as per usual. You dont' even know what stockhome syndrom is. SS can only occur mongst prisoners/kidnapped freaks.. I cna leave Codex whenever I want and therefore cannot be victim to SS. Are you that dense?

I dunno, codex GD has pretty much convinced me that behind every vocal nazi on the internet there's a tender, repressed and misunderstood soul who just needs to find the right man/ woman to let their real self show.

Of course, if they fail to find that right person, they are liable to "go Oslo".

Almost every bigoted person I've met has told me they're not racist/homophobic/sexist/whatever at some point. My grandmother used to go on about how the Jews killed Jesus, were destined to burn in hell, and were manipulating the US economy for (nefarious) Jewish reasons. When I pointed out that she sounded awfully anti-Semitic? Noooo, not her. She loved all of God's children. Halleluiah and pass the cornbread.

What's the connection you trying to make, Mariah, that everybody whoc alims to be non bigoted is actually bigoted so the easiest way to prove one's not a big is to claim they are a bigot? Does. not. compute.

 

It's really a childish way to look at things. ie. 'you smelled it you don't it' or 'you deny it therefore it must be true' or 'why protest too much'.

On the Codex, it's less likely to be man/woman than man-woman.

Boy you got me, Volo.

 

I didn't think my grandmother was bigoted because she talked about how evil Jews were. I thought my grandmother was bigoted simply because she said she wasn't.

Isn't that a "hypocrit"? :(

 

The powers that be knows I'm a bigot. I only deny it in cases where I'm unaware of my bigotry, not because I don't want to acknowledge my bigotry :ermm:

That was a joke. :p

It's not bad if you hate everyone equally.

You can't get a positive from a negative. But you can think you can. I don't believe it would matter either way to you. To me, you never wanted a serious relationship. Are you a female? Pretty Princess?

Simply put, the codex is long past having any kind of significant relevancy to the total ignorance of that fact of most of the posters there. When the admin (and I use that term loosely my dealings with him he was a self important jack arse) tosses in the towel as he did it pretty much speaks volumes of the site. Another year or two and the place will be nothing but trolls and people living in the past talking about being 'old school' hating any game made after 2000... oh the racist, neonazi and spam posts.

Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem."

Who are these "most of the posters" having total ignorance? Many of our regular posters love and enjoy cRPG games and mechanics and discuss them in great detail.

VD left for his own reasons, and then DarkUnderlord took the site over. VD has no Admin capacity on the site now.

Well if you continue to love the current crop of craptasitc "Yet another action game with little or no cRPG mechanics labeled as a RPG #64573" that Publishers continue to churn out, I guess enjoy your game. The Codex only wishes Publishers would take a look at some of the classic cRPG mechanics and allow a Developer to make a game with them. Similar to what Obsidian did with Fallout: New Vegas....

 

oh the racist, neonazi and spam posts.

 

As one of the sites forum moderators, I'm not sure what you are implying with this statement. Do we on occasion get "racist, neonazi and spam" posts? Certainly. With our Open Registration policy, that's always bound to happen, though most of that behavior usually stays within the spam forum.

I'm pretty sure you're the only one who thinks a internet message board could have sort of "significant relevancy".
