An Appeal To Reason

RE: Re: RE: Re: An Appeal To Reason

No, the problem is...

but seriously, I respect your position but I fail to see how someone's behavior on the internet can bother you this much. I guess we're just different people.

Is there room for compromise? A good sportsmanship rule of some kind?

Re: RE: Re: An Appeal To Reason

I was so prepared, too. >_>

Sorry.

I plan on TWGing at a0 next game, so FFR TWG falling apart doesn't bother me as much as it should. I suggest anyone who wants to play (except Tass, duh) should do the same, or find a similar loction to TWG at.

Funny, I could've sworn I mentioned that on the previous page. Or at least hinted at it.

I also IM'd it to you last night/this morning.

If that were to prevent Tass from acting like an ass, then I'd be all for it and would play.

In Latin an appeal to reason is called logos!

Legos?

Let's say you were playing mafia IRL. Someone started acting like an ass..the way Tass acts. Would you play with them anymore? Most likely not. The same thing can be applied here. Tass' behavior just makes us not want to play TWG with him. You seem to be taking it to the extreme ("bother you this much"). It's not like we're quitting the forums all together because of him.

Guys, you're going by faulty logic here. There isn't GOING to be a game anytime soon where I sign up before him--because I have full-time work, full-time class (yes, in the summer too), and loads of stuff to do that takes precedence over TWG. I'm sorry, but my grades and my paycheck are slightly more important to me at this point.

Tass has a job, but he doesn't work the hours I do. He also has no classes till the fall. He wants to play, and has the time to put into it. Stop being so childish. If you don't want to play with Tass, don't. But stop whining about it.

In the fall, BTW, I will have 18 hours of in-class time per week (with an extra 10 hours for traveling to school), with a recommended 54 hours needed to prepare and do homework for my retardedly difficult classes, plus 20-30 hours of work, which leaves exactly 8 hours a day for me to do other stuff...some of which I hope to spend asleep. I don't know when I'm going to have time to eat, much less play.

Heartbreaker.

I don't know about that flypie, I've never played mafia IRL... but whatever.

here's a proposed compromise... I suggest other people think of their own:

A good sportsmanship rule:

Basically, if TWC decides that someone is acting like an ass to the extent where it's affecting the game they ban that person for a game. Or something. This wouldn't mean that you couldn't brag in the post game thread or anything, just that if TWC sees it going too far, they can ban you. And the definition of being an ass could be applied to anything... inactivity, making moogy-style posts, bragging alot, whatever.

There are obviously flaws to this... mainly dealing with enforcement. But it's a start.

Who the hell has been whining? That's exactly what we've been avoiding doing because it's stupid and wouldn't help our case at all. Note flypie's post at the top of the second page.

None of us care whether or not Tass plays. He's free to do so. We're just not going to play in the same game as him.

We have. It's the everyone else whining about us leaving.

We are not the ones whining about it. Everyone else is whining that we don't want to play with tass and we are trying to explain our side. I don't think we're the immature ones here. None of us created the topic.

EDIT: Both kilga and afro beat me to it :<

REEL BIG FISH - Good Thing Lyrics

I never felt too good but in this world who would
I was always thinkin� somethin� wasn't right
But then you came along and helped me sing a song and
now I feel ok I hope it can stay- this way

You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it
end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it
end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about-
there goes the heartbreak that I can live without
I've been so frustrated, bitter, mean, and jaded
I've taken for granted all the things I've got
But now that you are here this anger disappears
and I feel happy too this is sappy but it's true

You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it
end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it
end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about there goes
the heartbreak
that I can live without

Yeah.

RE: Re: RE: Re: An Appeal To Reason

Wow. I'm honored. a 40+ post thread that is less than 3 hours old... ALL ABOUT ME!

Frankly, this is whats up: eb, Kilga, flypie, afro all have sand in their vagina. They can't handle the level of thinking that I bring to the game and therefore are forced to get upset that I foil their plans and then go and run away like little babies.

Talisman is pretty much attacking them for their attitudes, and they're replying with "blah blah blah, not playing... we want whorli's boobies".

So, this is what it has come to..... I've gotten to such an advanced level of this game, so far above everyone else.... that not enough people are willing to play. Chardish brought TWG to FFR... but my actions were legendary right from the start. And now, they have brought the end. It is like the tragic fall of Rome...

And, one last thing... not once have I, nor will I, ask for anyone to come back to TWG. If they don't want to play... their loss. If TWG ends at FFR... that is ok too. I'll retire at the pinnacle of the sport. The Hall of Fame. Can't complain going out at the top of ones career. Also, I will continue to sign up for each future TWG that is started.

That is all.

Well, maybe not... I don't get why no one contacted me privately at all about this. Oh well.
