Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
Back before the forum conversion mid-'06 (EE, I see you joined in February), the filters would replace naughty words with other, cuter words instead of asterisking them. These included Spoon for S***, Wombat for F*** and Denis Leary for A**hole. Thus, a scrubbed flame might read: "Can you believe that Denis Leary? He's such a wombating spoonhead."
I prefer my theory that he was punted for his own safety following a cookie pun-related breakdown. (Amusingly enough, a newly created profile - "Ninja Wizard" - showed up the next day and picked up all of TLN's characters. 'A friend', he said, who TLN had asked to continue on for him. The mods weren't fooled, and noticed about three days later. It's not like the handle was even sneaky... he should have named it "Not Logic Ninja" and seen how that worked out. )

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
I find the Denis Leary joke very fitting

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
We're only not supposed to talk about people being banned when it's disruptive or griping or glorifying them or... oh, I don't know. I'm just saying there was this funny guy named TLN, and I may have given him an aneurysm with cookies. And what's the worst that can happen - we finally get this thread locked?
Yeah, BWL was another brilliant fellow, also a bit of an ass, god love 'em. There may be something to that BWL=TLN, since looking back in that game after TLN and Ninja Wizard came BWL to pick up the character. Man, that was a wacked out game. I don't know what game the DM was playing, but it often didn't look like D&D. No such thing as a surprise round, pshaw...
Say... I just had a wonderful, terrible idea. We should make a pbp game based on this thread. The Quest for Truth, Justice, and Cookies - or Warty Goblin's Wild Ride - or Two Dark Lords Walk Into A Tavern...

EE's rant
You make a massive over the top and insulting rant based on tiny tibits of infomation
Quote every sentence in the enemy's statement and respond to each one seperetly. Bonus points if these points were answered half a page ago
You must make a DC 17 will save to properly with one misquote. Should you fail to counter a single response, you will get instantly attacked by EE's accusing finger

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
Dunno about BWL... he wasn't banned til months after that game ended, so that was the last of my close contact. I just reread it, and that DM put the CHOO CHOO in railroad... and dropped the game when we avoided the oncoming locomotive.
EE's Accusing Finger might have promise... probably shouldn't keep the link to the debate *too* literal, or else we'll be having an epistemologically centered module. Which would be sad beyond words. I was thinking something low-ish level, setting off into the world to find plot coupons which reveal the nature of a titanic battle and lost history (y'know, a really big rock). There'd be OOTS-style metafictional references along the way, so we could chat with Hairy Plopper or Gimli the Comically-Relieving on our journey.

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
I feel terrible about bumping this thread up again now that it's finally dies, but I felt this was the place to say this:
Ditto, I retract any and all bad things I may have said about you in this thread.
An opponent who refuses to concede the point (even if it seems to me that they are obviously wrong) is much more pleasant than an opponent who realises that they can't win and degrades to insults.
Besides, I kinda got attached to having this thread as our own little chat thread.

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
seconded, ditto is a funny guy
Also i agree, resorting to insults is bad, but snark and sarcasm is a ok
Also, this can become the Sauron/vs. thread lovers offical chat thread
OK, seriously EE, what's with this whole "commander" deal?
I started it, I'm the prophet, I lead it.
Besides, I'm a god.
Commander, i lead the armies. You know, military forces. Your head of the prophit.
I discovered your divinity, so does that make me your high priest or what?
Also have a cookie
/cookie
WHY won't you let the DEAD rest in peace!?
And i been wanting to talk to you, you start a lot of cool threads but you never talk on them. Why, your funny, talk on the threads darn it, at least act as commentator

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
We should do a Sauron vs Sauron thread...
No, just kidding, but we should start another thread, the LK one is starting to die/piss me off.
I think we should have The Witch King in the new thread though (either alone of with the other Nazgul) and make it a smaller fight (either one on one or vs some other squad of elite troops).
Any thoughts on who?

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
The reason I'd rather do a WK one than another Sauron one is that my argument of end scenarios works for most villains and that makes the debate less fun.
Either that or we have to choose someone who could throw The Ring into Mt. Doom (ie purer than Frodo).

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
Apology-ish accepted, and returned Rowan. We're cool people. There should be a SvsV club. Perhaps that could be the party name if I actually get enough ideas for a pbp. And yes, you're a bad person for bumping this... though I guessed right away you weren't having as much fun in the LK thread.
There is more to getting the Ring into Mount Doom than being pure, of course. And using the Ring to defeat Sauron, even if you turn into another Dark Lord (often an adversary's stated goal) is a legitimate win condition. I skimmed the LK thread, but it looks like (on the page I read) no one had figured a way to talk around that yet. But alas, I'm slipping into the debate again!

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
I can go find my reasoning on why LK getting The Ring ultimately leads to him serving Sauron (it's rather simple actually) if you want.
Also, yes, that club should definitely exist.
If you start a pbp I'd totally be down for playing. Except I'm away for most of Jan/Feb.
Anyway, I was also thinking about a Lord Soth thread. Think he's more on WK's level or Sauron's level?

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
A game? Hah, that would be funny... and yet, we all know that we have enough time on our hands not to drop out, and to write lengthy posts, and that we get along well enough that we can have a long versus thread and still stand one another's presence! That's always good. But we'd need to tie debate, Sauron, or Voldemort into it somehow...
... perhaps we can have two systems of magic from different worlds collide in a war, and part of the game would be figuring out in what ways the two are totally incompatible.
Also:
snark and sarcasm is a okAvatar by GryffonDurime. Thanks!

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
Non-transparent Psionics & Vancian magic? I know little of psionics and don't care for them, though, so I'd be no good as a DM. I do have a silly sort of hook idea, which would definitely set the SvsV quest on track. What do y'all think of something low-mid-level, 6-8ish? Just high enough to have some real definition, but low enough to still be assigned quest by higher Powers That Be.
I chose Vaarsuvius and MITD for the little sig thing, cuz I figured those were the closest approximations of a wizard and a Dark One. It's either that or Redcloak for the orc-ish pic... but I figured that while Redcloak is awesome, grunt orcs are less so.Last edited by Ditto; 2007-12-20 at 07:45 AM.

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
Lord Soth would be great, but i think he is greater than the WK but lesser than Sauron. Not sure though, but he is cool

Re: Sauron vs Voldemort
Blood-red were his spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat,
When they shot him down on the highway,
Down like a dog on the highway,And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.
