RE: Why I miss old clickies: a lament... - The Coil - 08-29-2007 Bootie Wrote:Do you think the drop in entertaining posts has in someway been because POS left us in the wilderness and walked of into the sunset with his witty diatribe? I was waiting for someone to bring this up...I actually mentioned it earlier in a post but then edited it out, because it didn't quite fit into the flow of the post. A few thoughts: Please don't refer to POS's posts as witty. &hirr&Leto is witty, Colonel T is witty, McIvan is witty. You cheapen the word when you apply it to POS's posts. No question, POS posted a lot. I thought most of his posts were off topic spam or silly permutations on three topics: 'boy am I great', 'don't you all love me', and 'I hate clickies'. I often suspected him of having a word document with a bunch of phrases on it that he just cut and pasted from to write his posts. I just found him irritating. And the worst kind of irritating, the kind where the person is being irritating just because he gets some sort of sociopathic high out of irritating other people. I guess some might argue that a board full of POS spam is better than a board full of nothing. I don't think so. But I guess some might argue that a board full of nothing is better than a board full of clickie spam. So maybe it's just my preference. No question, his tactics posts were sometimes helpful, although sometimes too simplistic and/or misleading. But to me, not worth wading through all his blather for. And you can still find his tactics stuff all over if you really want to, and most of the info in them can be easily found in other places with a quick search. Also, no question, I found it strangely entertaining to taunt him. He's one of those people who is almost a caricature of himself, so it's almost too easy. And it was fun to watch him squirm and change the subject every time anyone pointed out the (many) inconsistancies in anything he was saying. So I sort of miss the entertainment value there. But I like being able to read a thread more than three posts long on this board without having to deal with a picture of POS's virtual "medals" that he gave himself (you want to talk meaningless, MR, here's where you should start) even more. Again, just my opinions and preferences, I'm sure there are those that think he was worth having around...

Funny you should mention that...here is a post I put on TPG about his medals.... I say your medals mean nothing to me....some of the best playtesters I've ever seen, that have made some of the best recommendations, that have been spot on with their analysis of my work, have never mentioned ever having even played a ladder game. Good Hunting. MR RE: Why I miss old clickies: a lament... - McIvan - 08-30-2007 You've got to do "New Reply" rather than "Quick Reply" to get all the smileys.

I went over to the Proving Grounds to begin my cavalcade of taunting M8... now your back here again! Stay put so I can nail you between the eyes with wit filled cabbage projectiles.

"Yo" Mind you I've got a busy day ahead, first i'll nip in town to draw my dole out of the cashpoint, then pop straight across the road to spend most of it in Game,do the rounds of the big stores to leer at the shopgirls, then be back in time for the afternoon film on TV - "The Cincinnati Kid". Good stuff on this evening too - "Sex Change Clinic" - "Surgeons peel a man's penis like a banana, core it out and then stitch the flaps of flesh into new positions to form an artificial vagina" Hmm sounds good..

For making me laugh you get green ... eggs and ham?!?!?! And for the record, my posting hasnt stopped because of clickies. It has stopped because my CM time has shriveled up like the rotten gums that Walkure gets to fondle everyday. I only came back here because Leto emailed me off-board and said that anarchy was reigning at the blitz - due to the absence of the rule of clikie! This is why I hate progressives. I'm a right-wing clickie conservative. |
