ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....

[DoomITP]

Stop it you two.

[The Gremlin]

No, actually, I wasn't the first one to call you out, Grem. I came in a little after the calling out because I was at school when the argument started. I remember, because I couldn't post from school.

And for the record, you did lie. You said you never edited the wiki entry for the race when you did, that kind of... happens to be a lie...

And no, it disregarded the lore entirely. You kept claiming some sort of huge magical entity had hypnotised an entire race and just changing the type of entity, even though we had established that nothing had that power, except maybe the creature, and it only appeared maybe a week before the auction and was supposed to be unique in its power - but you went ahead and decided something just as powerful or perhaps more so had always existed.

THe one making pot shots is the one constantly dropping "Because of DLB" into his posts even after I told you to stop because I didn't like it.

No. I did NOT lie. You said I had edited it despite your wishes, implying it was quite recent. I had edited something that you appeared to have forgotten, a WEEK ago. I had not done it against your wishes, as you had never mentioned you disliked the cannibalism notion before.
We never estabilished there were no things with that kind of power. We said that magic was rare. If the Creature can exist, then clearly that sort of power is possible. Especially since this was CENTURIES ago.
/\ I'll stop if she does.

[DoomITP]

Both of you stop this argument. It's about something that doesn't even matter. It's a game!

[Silverraptor]

Why do I feel that I'm the source of this conflict.


So is there anything I need to clarify for my character or can I get started on the intro comic?

[CrimsonAngel]

MegaDoomer! Sup dawg'.

You are. Therefore, the way to deal with this problem is to burn your entrails. *Gets out knife*

Oh for the love of pete.

Why is it you say you'll stop when I do? If I ever try to stop, you always bring in something else and then say "I was trying to stop" when called out.

Please, I'm going to ask you to just stop throwing snide comments about me into all your unrelated posts, because I've told you before that I don't like it at all. I just want you to understand that I'm trying to defend the continuity, not spoil your fun. Considering that such huge history has been made about the ogres using the compromise, and the only difference is that it does not involve a magical entity dominating an entire race so that they hate and want to eat all other races (Which isn't cannibalism, FYI...), I'd say you came out better for it.

Please, just... I'm not trying to be the villain here.

[The Gremlin]

*Stabs with pick axe*

Down boy.

Hang on, dinosaurs can't hold pickaxes.
/\ First of all, the evil-looking helmet is a bit confusing if you don't want to be a villain.
Second, you actually introduced the issue first, when mentioning the Ogre Incident. I can't be held responsible for bringing it up in this case.
Third, in my opinion, the best way to end an argument is with both sides agreeing to stop, not with one side making their argument and then insisting that they stop arguing. Therefore, I would not end the argument unless I was certain that you would not make one last snipe.

[T-O-E]

...And cats can't hold knives.

[Squark]

Not again. Must you guys always do this? Do you want to get a discussion thread locked or something?? I really don't want Gremlin to pull a "randomizer" on us.

And Grem, to be perfectly honest, that last comment still came across as a snipe.

[Silverraptor]

Pull a randomizer?

[The Gremlin]

...And cats can't hold knives.

Cat? Where??? Cat entrails are very good luck, and a good peace offering.
And just to make something clear, the Ogre's did not 'hate' other races, they just had to follow their belief. They always made arrangements for humane deaths and such, and would sometimes even try to notify the next of kin.
Squark: Said the godmodder. Now can we please stop arguing?

[CrimsonAngel]

Normaly I would hop on the burning of entrails train, bet don't you think we should sacrifice the Ophiotaurus.

[DoomITP]

MegaDoomer! Sup dawg'.

What's up.

[SinisterPenguin]

Squark: Said the godmodder. Now can we please stop arguing?

...Now that was a snipe. And a pointless, argumentative one, at that.

[Squark]

*sigh* Could we all PLEASE stop this?

@silverraptor- A long time ABR'er, The_Randomizer, left after a heated discussion. While I think he's at least willing to look at the discussion thread now, I suspect there are still hard feelings out there. I was absent at the time he left, so I wouldn't know.


EDIT:

...Now that was a snipe. And a pointless, argumentative one, at that.

Not helping... Although I'm not sure me sighing did wonders either.

[The Gremlin]

...Now that was a snipe. And a pointless, argumentative one, at that.

JOKING!
CA: Those books suck. I vote we eat Riordan's entrails.

[DoomITP]

Grem that was also a snipe.

[Silverraptor]

*sigh* *facepalm* Could we all PLEASE stop this?

Ok. I see. I was wondering what happened to him since he seemed to have contributed earlier...

And now I was wondering if we can forget the argument and please get back to me as a way to avoid the argument. Character, yay or nay?

[Squark]

Stop calling Grem out! Even if its justified, (And Grem, I'm not saying it is, although keep in mind sarcasm can't be easily noticed on the internet), it isn't helping!

[The Gremlin]

Grem that was also a snipe.

No, it wasn't. It was a comment. A snipe is when you say something argumentative and then ask to stop arguing.
/\ I hoped the irony would leak through.

[Silverraptor]

In the hope that this will stop what I have started, I will keep up with my question.

CoN character?

[Squark]

This is getting us nowhere. Can we just all agree to stop, and just leave any discussion until we've had a few days for tempers to cool (on both sides).

[Darklord Bright]

In the hope that this will stop what I have started, I will keep up with my question.

CoN character?

Just go for it, Silver. You seem reasonable enough. I'll give one yay.

[BRC]

Alright, this calls for drastic measures. We must settle this debate the ABR way.

Gremlin, DLB, each one of you is to draw a character representing yourself. It could be your avatar, it could be something else entierly, it could be an image you pulled up out of nowhere.
Once each of you has selected your "Champion", the duel begins. Each of you makes a Comic featuring your "Champion" defeating your opponent's Champion in the most awesome manner possible. This is not a back-and-forward thing, each of you makes the comic independent of the other person's. Only the combatants remain the same. You are encouraged to get creative.
There is to be no talk of "My character can do X" or "That wouldn't work on my character". The only thing you provide your opponent with is what your character looks like. However, it's considered bad form to disregard the obvious features of the other person's character. If they are portrayed as a greatsword wielding knight, it is looked down upon to say that they are only 9 feet tall, or that they are in fact a cardboard cutout of a great sword wielding knight.

Once both comics have been created, I will use my RL friends, who are not GiantITPers and have no knowledge of ABR, no background for the debate, and no knowledge of either of you, as an impartial panel of judges. They shall Vote on whose comic is more Kickass and/or awesome. That person will be declared the winner.

While I am aware this will not solve the root of the problem, it should be fun and will, I believe, provide some closure to the issue.

I really, really don't feel like that, BRC. I just want to avoid this subject in the future, and I don't like the idea that my personal feelings of being upset can be declared wrong because of a comic.

I know you're trying to help, but please.

[Silverraptor]

Just go for it, Silver. You seem reasonable enough. I'll give one yay.

Alright. Thank you. I just need to talk to Keris really quick and I shall begin then.

Hope you guys like him!

The debate is sorta over, I think. But it could be fun. Sure. But there's no ay it'll settle the matter. It'll just be a fun thing to do. A basic ABR war to depict our 'eternal rivalry'.

So, basically trial by traditional ABR?

I'm all for it.
