  • You can change. You can.
    Haves is a big fan of OotS. I never could enjoy it myself. -shrug-

    I'm guessing he posts more in MSPA these days. Although with Hussie there...

    He is also fairly familiar with D&D in general; back when funnyguts tried to run a campaign at TVTropes he played a class that, at that point, I had never heard of, to great effect.

    OotS is okay, but I only read it on and off, and it's not the primary attraction of the site, to me.
  • You can change. You can.
    Yeah, he RPs regularly, from what he tells me. Also, he likes Planescape.

    A lot.

    I also love the topic he posted in that I quoted; I'm much amused by the idea of a character who literally solves his problems by throwing swords at them.
  • You can change. You can.
    To quote the man himself...

     If there is one thing roleplaying has taught me, it is: "smashy smashy".
  • Mr. The Edge goes to Washington
    OMG, my editor just texted me. It turns out that my review of the Canadian thriller "The Wild Hunt" is going so well that he wants to put me on another foreign horror review. This time for a Thai film called "The Coffin".
  • I'm making another attempt to stick around here. (It's weird that this is being used as an actual chat thread, seeing as how its existence is the product of Vorpy being herself)

    How are things?
  • Has friends besides tanks now
    Half the forum is hung up on TVTropes's current debate on whether or not to axe Troper Tales.

    Seriously, like half the posts today and yesterday, if not more, have probably gone to this topic.
  • This is TvT's equivalent of a civil war, where one side outnumbers the other but equal sway is being given to both.

    ^^No kidding. I kind of wish this site could separate itself from Tv Tropes but considering the reasons for its creations that is highly unlikely.

    ^I wonder if in the future TT supporters will claim they were supporting states' rights.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Well, considering that like half the userbase that still frequents TV Tropes is going to jump ship in the likely event that deleting TT doesn't go through...

    ^^ Now I know how the South felt.

    I'm not saying you're unjustified in being hung up on it. Just that you are hung up on it.
  • ^^Actually, I was comparing us to the North, where we had larger numbers but still suffered heavy losses on the ratio front.

    It's been way too long since I had US History.  :l

    Also it doesn't help that I missed most of the civil war unit.

    I really need to read a book or something sometime.
  • MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that you were, Everest. I just kind of lament the inherent connection this site has to Tv Tropes.
  • Has friends besides tanks now
    I was referring to Forzare, but I suppose that's my bad for not actually referring to him.
  • You can change. You can.
    I both like it because it allows to discuss this without having people who dislike this kinda discussion (such as moderators over at TvT) and dislike it because it means that when I leave, I still won't stop seeing TvT stuff anywhere.
  • It's been... should I say thrilling? The not-ready-to-quit-TVT thread is
    being used as an outpost for the Troper Tales war to make up
    strategies, gather intelligence and make reports.



    Before that, there was some inter-forum mingling with people on the SA thread.

    Also, I'm going to sleep. Here's hoping that tomorrow the poll says something different than what it looks like it'll say.
  • I'm not sure what this site could do to differentiate itself from TV Tropes.
  • The liveblogs seem to be picking off, so there's that, I guess.
  • You can change. You can.
    Nothing. By now, I think there's nothing we should do except be ourselves and enjoy what we can outta this place.
  • ^^^ Not talk about TV Tropes all the time.

    But since people apparently do want to talk about TV Tropes... nothing.

    QUICK, EVERYONE POST IN MY LIVEBLOG TO MAKE US MORE INDEPENDANT FROM TVTROPES

    ^^^/^^ Yeah, pretty much.

    I've never seen liveblogging as an inherently TvTropes thing since other forums I've been on have had similar things, only with different names.

    That said, after I finish Princess Tutu how would people feel about a Smallville liveblog?
  • You know, I actually had an idea for another thread, but I was saving it because I figured it would quickly get drowned in Troper Tales stuff.
  • I've never seen liveblogging as an inherently TvTropes thing

    If anything, it's more of an inherently Something Awful thing.

  • I keep wanting to liveblog U.S. Route 40, but I figure no one will read it.
  • Oh about a year ago I wanted to liveblog a KUSA 5 PM show, but never did.

    "^^^ Not talk about TV Tropes all the time.

    Solution: stop talking about TVTropes because it only causes headaches. Of course, I'm aware that that's basically your opinion anyway, but I offer this advice to everyone, including myself.
