ggroy, are you trolling, or what?

So now you're trying justify douchey statements with...other douchey statements? WTF?

[Cielingcat]

That's really all there is to say.

DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS!

I loled. Quoting out of context for the fucking win.

I'm beginning to think so. All of his responses have been akin to:

"You can think whatever you want", or
"I don't care what you think", or
"It's not my problem", or
"Why do you care what I think?"

And certainly not anything like:

"I think X because <insert rational argument here>", or
"Perhaps I was being retarted back there, guys. Allow me to retract/correct my earlier statement".

ggroy, try more of these later statements and less of the former.

The silliness was in replying to the angry responses which resorted to name calling and other direct personal attacks. Once threads get to that stage, rational arguments become less and less effective.

Hi, welcome to the Den. If you are an idiot, you will be called an idiot. That does not in any way prevent us from arguing with rational arguments, or for admitting fault. Because it turns out, we aren't two.

"Your argument is wrong because of X, you are an idiot." Is infinitely different from "You are an idiot, therefore, your argument is wrong."

With respect to munchkinism in 1E, the easiest way was through the weapons AC adjustment table (if the DM used it). I was a munchkin powergamer type back then, and generally chose several weapons which had the best bonuses against several different types of armor. If one type of weapon wasn't very good against a particular type of armor, our character would just change to another weapon which was more effective against that type of armor.

To channel Roy for about six seconds:

FAILTARD!

How the fuck is using good weapons munchkinism? That seems like the most obviously obvious thing that everyone with half a brain should do automatically.

The part where you think a viable GM response to this practice of not being retarded is permanent stat damage is so far beyond crazy stupid that is ceases to even be a part of the same universe as the rest of us.

I have to agree that that's not munckinism. Not doing it makes you a bad roleplayer, really. The whole point of weapons and armor in history was a constant game of one-upsmanship. Someone gets weapon A, so a guy invents armor A to protect himself from it. This causes someone to invent weapon B to bypass the armor which leads to armor B, and so on.

So why the fuck wouldn't you want the best weapons of the period to counteract the armor of the period?

Sure, it's just an analogy and I'm sure the tables were broken and such, but to regard that as munckinism is just ignorant. You should have slapped your DM.

Hell, slap yourself while you're at it for being brainwashed by that bullshit.

Obvious troll is now obvious.

Remind me never to DM for you; you're bad luck!

I suppose you could piss on their graves. In all seriousness, even if you could slap them now without exhuming their mortal remains, I doubt it would do much good.
