D&D Demotivators III: My PCs Did What?

It won't for long, they delete after a while.

I also don't get it, but I don't play Modern Warfare, so that's not surprising

lemme explain.

[/NERD] in modern warfare, or any other first person shooter that is played online, when someone sits in a corner the whole game, not even bothering to play for their team or anything, and just shoots people as the walk by, is called a camper. camping is considered extremely bad form, but for some reason, everyone wants to do it, making games like modern warfare a living hell. i personally don't get it, you shell out $60 for a game just so you can hide in a corner? run around and have FUN for gosh sakes [/NERD]

Killing people and not dieing IS fun. Especially in hyper realistic games like Modern Warfare.

you camper

I've heard that America's Army, an FPS made by the U.S. Army, has an option to start a vote to kick a player for camping - and that if you try to use it, it will actually start a vote to kick you for complaining about camping. The logic being that this particular game is a serious attempt to simulate and prepare players for real life combat (it's intended as a sort of combination recruiting/advertising and training tool, as I understand it), and in real life combat "camping" is a legitimate useful tactic and you don't get the luxury of removing enemies from the field just by complaining they're not fighting fair.

Sounds like a good system. 'Course, in the least realistic games, complaining about camping is part of the fun. Then again, we're getting pretty far off topic. I must repent... But not today...

[The Tygre]

The Melville one is right but there are many glaring mistakes in the Exalted ones.

"I have chosen ye": "Ye" is the second person nominative plural. That means it's only used as the subject of a sentence, not the object as it is here. It's not another word for "thee". This is like using "we" instead of "me". (In a completely unrelated use, it's used as a substitute for "the" because early Modern English writers and printers used the letter Y in place of the older "thorn" letter to copy old manuscripts, because printing presses didn't have that letter and Modern English no longer used it.)

"Thine trials have been great": "Thine" and "mine" are used before a word with a vowel like the article "an". "Thy", "my", and "a" are used before a consonant. "I want to eat an apple. This is mine apple. That is thine apple."

"Nothing can stop thee, no obstacle or foe can hinder thee; all that stand before ye are fated for defeat.": As above, "ye" is not an object. "Ye are fated for defeat" is ok but "all that stand before ye" is not. It should be "before you". And "thee" is singular for talking to one person. Why switch to the plural? This reads like the speaker is talking to two people: one whom nothing can stop and one whom no obstacle or foe can hinder, but all who stand before both of them are fated for defeat. I really doubt that was the intended meaning.

... Son, let me ask you something; if I didn't care when I first made those posters, what on Asmodeus' black throne makes you think I would care now?

Now, back to business;

From an old Eberron thread, none by me;

I refuse to accept any first person shooter is realistic that you can't be sent before a military tribunal and dishonorably discharged in.

It's more that I was looking for a theme, someone linked me to a Klinger image, and I worked with that.

Disguise: Somethimes a successful roll means deliberately failing.

Ooo. That's a better line.

If Klinger fails at all, then its failing at Failing.

When I was playing America's Army, if you violated certain rules, such as shooting your teammates instead of the other side, you'd get kicked from the game and "locked" into a cell in Leavenworth.
