The correct answer is obviously to mock anyone who claims to be a Viking in the modern world. Also, welcome once more to Geek Social Fallacies.

Armani posted:Because he'd rather Grog about bullshit rather than actually play a loving game Would it bother you if I told you about all the games I played this week and it turned out to be a lot or would you just be like "Hey, its the internet, I make up facts and type them, don't get mad about it." ?

Armani posted:You're right. Either you missed the point or I did not write well enough to explain how obviously conflicted and confused and angry this girl obviously was in a way that had nothing to do with gender or you decided I was a jerk before you even read that thing and assumed it means something it does not mean.

Actually, I can attest that what you wrote was confusing. Either the quote didn't catch the context or you made some sort of stylistic choice in how you told the story that didn't really convey how crazy this girl was. We were left with: "She was a young woman and I was annoyed that she was talking to me/scared that she was in charge of bombs and personnel". The things you quoted her saying didn't seem that angry or crazy. Zak S posted:Just because he's too much of a Grog morphodite to play in person. Do people actually use the word "morphodite" in real life? The only place I've ever heard it is in "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I've always assumed it was fairly offensive.

Well then Dr Nick, we have once again discovered that when you read what I write your takeaway is completely different than what I meant or actually think. It is apparently an insoluble problem unless next time you think I just said something cuh-rayyyyzy like "Oh noes a girl talks a lot to me!" you just ask me what I meant.

I'm not the one who said that I'm just giving you a heads up that it's a valid interpretation of the words you wrote. If it's not what you meant you may want to think about that. If you don't care then don't but just understand that people reading it might get confused. If I had cared more about the things you wrote I might have asked you for clarification. As it is, I don't read your blog so the only exposure I have to you is here (however unfortunate that may be for you)

Zak S posted:Either you missed the point or I did not write well enough to explain how obviously conflicted and confused and angry this girl obviously was in a way that had nothing to do with gender or you decided I was a jerk before you even read that thing and assumed it means something it does not mean. Snapple Cap Fact: 'I Hit It Wth My Axe' was the first thing I ever favorited on Facebook. I'll be straight with you, since you don't post like an rear end in a top hat: aside from the bit were you talk about your '3 anna half hour' conversation with a girl who had, what seemed like, a lot going on for her and a lot to say -- that post says nothing new or insightful. I had to read it, completely, three times since you are addicted to horrific Wordpress format that makes my eyes cross. As an outsider to your blog circle, your military analogy fit like a kid smashing his toys together. It was clumsy, at worst, and [i]completely a self-masturbatory exercise at best.[\i] The bit you quoted from PJ was all you needed to do. You also need to buy a couple of commas. I admot my post was really projecty but that I cherry-picked- to me -the most interesting part of it out of your blogpost and that it was enough to bring you over here to post how that is past the point is much more telling than anything you had to say about rules of a fantasy elfgame, or the military in all of it's varieties. That said: you seem to make a lot of D&D fans happy, and I didn't know you painted. When you have the time, you should check out our military forum here at Something Awful.

If you keep putting out things that people interpret in a way you didn't intend, maybe it's not everyone else who is bad at listening, maybe you're bad at talking.

Also the above is the opinion of one Forums User Armani and not of Grognards.txt as a Whole (which is full of a lot of sick dudes and dudettes who're loving olympic gods at talking on the internet about elfgames so please stick around zak!!!). Please consult your doctor if Armani persists for longer than four hours, may cause heart failure, etc.

Sometimes this isn't the fault of the reader. Maybe, just maybe, sometimes the writer needs to write better. (and also not have bad grog opinions) (because you do, you have those)

The fact that Zak S shows up like Beetlejuice is probably the best development in grognards.txt.

If you don't care: then please stop talking about me altogether since you don't care but maybe realize I'm an actual person and so are the girls in my group. Is that a reasonable thing to ask?

Let's go back to the thing about the commas. I think you're missing at least two in that paragraph.
