Things You've Noticed About The Escapist Forums

[USSR]

Is that something to be proud of?

Not particularly - it's just a statement of fact.

And anyway, I only meant that if you follow some sort of logical train of thought, your actions can be predicted.
From there, you are vulnerable.
Hence, predictability is a weakness.

Forget new ones, I still haven't found a way to get hold of that damn Pony badge! I walked on all fours and ate carrots. For a week.

You must kill the one who is in possession of the Pony Badge in order to have the Pony Badge pass to you.

..Max, I am seriously starting to think you are a woman.

*continues to stare at avatar*

Edit: and will not let you take Evil_Raven665's poneh badge >.<!!!

The search bar is ignored a lot. (not in this case tho)

People hate it when they point out the search bar too.

Spellchkr and lack of simylys.
And that I lack even the most basic quote-inspiring skills.

 

[Berethond]

That there are 'forum celebrities', grammar nazis, & search bar fanatics.

I'm all three! Yay!
Or at the least, the last two.

 

[Kinguendo]

That would explain why you keep trolling, I guess.

How exactly do I troll?

Really? Presumably you deleted the comment Max quoted so you know how you Troll... Why ask such a redundant question? I had to search through this thread just to see and yes, you Troll.

You're definitely all three!

Awesome!
I wasn't sure yet.

There is this very strange phenomenon:

Whenever something ambiguous is mentioned with regards to sex, a lot of people will inquire, even if it's really obvious..Like..They need verification to complete their depraved fantasy or something.

That's right, I'm onto you.

I've learned that people know the best questions to ask the world, it's fun to see what everyone says
And also that they are addictive, i always find myself saying "Just One More. . . "

But couldn't you set up a sort of pseudo-predictability to lead other people astray into thinking that you are predictable, then when they think you are at your most vulnerable you are actually at your strongest and can take them all out in one fell-swoop?

What do you think I've been doing?
Hmmm?
*dramatic chord!*

I knew you were going to say that.
*C[sup]7 #9[/sup]!*

Then I'm obviously doing an admirable job, am I not?

Not so obviously. Though I suppose that's the point.

Even though the Escapist can be cruel at times, for the most part, I've noticed that it's tons 'kinder/more considerate' than other forums.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

They might as well hand you copies of Fallout 3 and Team Fortress 2 when you join because they are pretty much the official games of the Escapist.

People that have been here for a long time think they are far superior to people that haven't (Welcome to the Escapist!)

There is always at least one post that catches your eye any given time you browse.

They are the greatest forums on the planet. Seriously you never see 2 of the same post, nobody ever posts extremely late news, and pointless threads never last.

P.S. I have to say I'm jealous of Labyrinth and UltraJoe for getting mod status. Still, well done to them both, they're doing a bang on job so far

On that note, can I ask about UltraJoe? In the mods list it says he was previously banned... like the Biblical character of Saul.

Maybe Ultra will be the last member here... and he will leave a legacy to the rest of the world.

Someone may have already told you, but he asked to be banned temporarily, I do believe.

Well, that's kind of dull. I imagined a masked villain running havok through the forums, only to be caught and 'changed' by the 'system'...

Y'know, I've noticed things have gone down for the forums. Like Themis hiring the most active of people to be moderators, without looking at their capabilities. And I've also noticed that when posting a new thread it seems that people are screaming at one to use the search button, yet when you revive an old thread about the topic, it gets locked because it got revived. It seems contradictory for people to do that. What I've also noticed is that mods have begun to use their powers for more personal matters than before, which disturbs me greatly.
