This forum is for OOC discussion about existing roleplays.

Please post all "Players Wanted" threads in the Roleplayers Wanted forum!

The Xersist Writers Club (Cuss a long post ≠ a good post)

Topic Tags:

Forum for completely Out of Character (OOC) discussion, based around whatever is happening In Character (IC). Discuss plans, storylines, and events; Recruit for your roleplaying game, or find a GM for your playergroup.
There you go again, unable to think of any REAL comment to make, so you revert back to something idiotic and infantile instead. Maybe you should take the time to come up with something more impressive to say, rather than just emphasising the fact that you really don't have a clue what you're doing? Seriously, don't try to get into arguments unless you have something to back yourself up with.

There you go again, being presumptious. I didn't mean to start any arguement. I didn't realize that my comments were so inflammatory. I'm sorry you guys have sand in your manginas, but seriously, chill out.

*stares*
WHY? Might I ask are you two fighting over something as indescripant as a single post. People have their own ideas and the right to voice them in their own ways. Gab. Let me say one thing that the reason Cuss is used instead of because or cause, is because it sounds more catchy. Its pure marketing in the sense. Projekt Revolution was called ProjeKt because it looked better than ProjeCt. So its just the way you look at it. Anyways, the way you two are fighting is not only demeaning to yourselves, but you are cluttering the thread with pointless rambling. And quite frankly, its just plain immature. And the whole two sides of coin or whatever the hell it is. That is pretty stupid... but typos happen. People are human. And humans make mistakes.

I fully agree with chewy. If you guys are going to take the arguement THIS seriously, then please take it to flame wars.

And Cuss is merely text based type like Cuz. Don't complain and bitch about it. For god's sake, its a signature.

I'm not mad at the comment you made. I'm mad at how stubborn-minded you are.

....Cause calling people names, saying that they're on their period and calling them names is DEFFENETLY a great way to not start a fight. I can't belive that I didn't think of that before. Gosh, you're just so darn smart.

If people are gonna be assholes, I'm gonna call them on it, and act the same way in return. I didn't do anything to insult the bitch who had her period all over this thread, she just was a bitch for no reason.

She was acting like that because you were being insulting. It's a sig. Not a post. It doesn't have to be correct gramer. Or even correct spelling. Any way if you think she's being a bitch then why are you posting on this fourm? Unless your just looking to argue, which is what I assume.

I'm not looking for a fight. I was just pointing out how ironic it is that a club to promote good spelling and grammar held both incorrect spelling and grammar.

Dude, if you want to stop the argument, stop posting here. Simple as that. And if he still does post, don't respond to him. Just let him analyze everything if he wants.

*Twitch* I can't get on for like 4 days and you people have a flame war.....sad....

Haha, Gabriel, sorry there bud, you just got slammed pretty hard. And in all honesty I agree with you, just the same I figure I'll hold back my judgement, and possibly my resignation, until things get going properly. I joined because I liked the idea of a club devoted to good posting and whatnot, but can respect Xersist's choices with "Cuss" and the signatures. If it turns out any random idiot can waltz in and drag the collective writings skills of the group down the hole, then I'll leave. Until then I'll trust Xersist and see what happens.

So I see that everybody is having fun, and that feeding a troll never solves the problem, it just makes it bigger.

Sorry Gab, but so far I sat back and red the posts, and all I could say is that your an instigator. You want to start things whether you realize it or not. I'll give you the benefit, that you were right on many levels, but the fact that you came back over and over to prove your point made it seem to make it all the less respectable.

Shouting out that there is proof to what you belief makes it so you sound like you don't belief it yourself,and that you must find backing to what you say, and whether or not some kind of a approval is necessary. So if the approval is not there you keep whacking it down, like some idiotic never ending game of whack-a-mole.

To show you got "gerth" in your thinking, you need to ignore some of the things people say, whether or not you think there stupid. Should be left in your head. God knows why you would want to convert them. Its not like your gonna make a church of I-Told-You-So.

Be a pessimist here, Just expect everyone to be tards on the internet, that's how I am. I just wait for the smart ones to rise over the fat. If your right, then no harm done, but if your wrong, even better!

So if you expect them to be tards, DONT TALK TO THEM! That goes for everyone here, if you see a troll, DONT FEED IT!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for all the questions, that couldn't be handled by you guys while I was gone. (I was on a quick Va.K.)

Now Gab, whether or not there are two "sides" on a coin does not really need to be analyze that deeply. Its almost like that's and that is.

Obviously if you every need to use the word side, its in singular. Now the phrase is more or less stretched out.

"There is two side to every coin." (Fuck! you know what, that sounds stupid)

Forget it Gab, that one was just dumb on your part. I was just typing that as I went along and realized how dumb that sounds and looks. Next question.

Cuss line

(scratches head) Umm, Gab if I stuck to the norm and did everything that was ethical, would that be, I don't know.... original?

You know my mom asked told me a great thing one day when I was young and stupid.

I asked her, "Mom, Why do advertisements do that?" (What ever it was didn't matter)

and she replied, with sarcasm in her voice "So you would start talking about them, and guess what? It did its job perfectly!"

And guess what Gab, you fell into the trap, so there. The Cuss line got you hooked and you wanted to know why.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh and Gabe, if you ever wanted to join this club, maybe you shouldn't have burn so many bridges getting here. Even if I let you in, would you really feel like your in?

Whether or not you felt like defending your thoughts, maybe using name calling wasn't the brightest of moves. Try watching a debate, "Asshole" is never used in a comment or phrase to prove a point, unless in quotations.

And for everyone else, do the same. We are trying to have a higher level of stature and thinking. So bashing, and name calling are not allowed, and just blowing someone off doesn't make you sound smart either. It just makes you out to be the bitch in the conversation.

Gab to sum up, We are a "Writers Club" not a "Grammar Club" go to Vexar's "S.I.C." if you want a place to be nit-picky

We are here to help "Story telling." say it with me... "Story telling." Whether or not a word or line is out of place can just fuck me dandy, and call me bitch for all I care.

Cuss I don't give an everlovin crap.

Sorry Xer, I know you wanted this to be a club for the members and not the staff. That's fine, I support your desire to increases the writing ability of those in your club. However I wanted to point out that there have been some issues.

Just in case some of you forgot the rules, or possibly didn't read the rules of the site I am going to post them.

General Rules
These rules apply to every part of RolePlayGateway, and anything officially associated with RolePlayGateway.

No trolling.
Deliberately provoking arguments is unacceptable and is a bannable offense. (The word comes from casting a baited line when fishing... hoping someone bites.)

No spamming.
This includes flooding (repeating messages over and over), mass PMs to members, and joining any part of the site with the sole intent to advertise.

Respect the sensitivity of others.
We require everyone to maintain common sensitivity, which means:
- No public intimacy (this includes roleplay)
- No racist, bigoted, or excessively vulgar language.
- No pornography or otherwise rated "X" material.
Links to any page that violates our main decency rule is grounds for an immediate kickban and warning on your account.

Respect the staff.
Our staff will treat you with respect by default, so you have no reason to mistreat them.

No arguing, no bitching.
Take it to PM or the Flame Wars forum. Intelligent debate is welcome, but when your emotions take control of your actions, you are in violation of this rule.

In the last two pages of this thread there has been trolling and excessive arguing over a non-issue as related to the club. I would ask that your club members please adhere to the rules and if there is an attempt to troll your members or start a fight to contact a Mod so we may monitor the situation. You are attempting to create a club to better yourselves, allow us to help create an environment for your members to do so without needless harassment.
The writer who cares more about words than about characters, action, setting, atmosphere is unlikely to create a vivid and continuous dream; he gets in his own way too much; in his poetic drunkenness, he can't tell the cart- and its cargo- from the horse.

*Breaks into a fit of laughter and wipes away a tear* "I gotta say, it's things like these that make me laugh. Gabe comes in here, makes a relevant, though somewhat provocative string of comments, and then everyone else comes in and the next few pages are of people making asses of themselves. Then we get Xersist coming in and pulling out the big guns (Which was a fun read by the way) and then Skallagrim comes in and just kind of shuns everyone in the room. O I love this place :3

Now, if we're all done with this little flame war, can we get back to something a bit more relevant, say like the club? I'd love to see us actually do some stuff. You know, show that we're not just all talk, maybe get out some visible stuff to attract more members, maybe some in club competitions or RP's. Something along those lines?

Well Generally No, I mean what is the point in that, Unless an Admin or Mod is feeling left out that's something they need to take up with their uppers. But I cant say no, cause everyone can join, I'm leaving that open and clear. Yes Mod and Adms can join, but I do see it rather odd. But I would love for you to come Mel. Just don't think for some reason that cuss your a mod that I'm giving you any special treatment. In here everybody is on the level, unless the rules are broken, then you can do what you got tot do. What I mean is that our club is like a lesser Mod group, in that we have no powers, but all the same goals. So why would a mod or admn want to join a lesser form of itself.


Perhaps its how you phrased your response to Mel that has fostered the idea you don't want Mods or Staff as part of your club? The first rule to writing is clarity.
