Do you think the "Undead disagreement SOLVED" thread should be closed?

Do you think the "Undead disagreement SOLVED" thread should be closed?

[Pieter888]

haha, a reply thread of a reply thread!:lol:

But no, even though the thread started out as a huge *not this again* the thread is starting to fill with some ideas now, and people are actually contributing to the thread seriously now.

how about... scraping the first 5 pages?:rolleyes:

--EDIT--

also our cGREGgo should receive a warning for not seriously replying multiple times and showing signs of trolling.

--EDIT 2--

also I can't agree with any of the options given in the poll, I don't want trolls to roam freely, but I don't want a thread sealed of unless it's content is 100% useless

[ToMegaTherion]

Well, apparently according to the forum rules it shouldn't be closed, so it shouldn't be closed. But this is unfortunate, because it deserves to be. So I voted Yes, but I guess the vote is more "forum rules should be stricter". Someone deliberately refusing to try to connect with everyone else's responses, and being rude in the bargain, shouldn't be allowed to continue. And if they're doing it in their own thread, it should be locked up.

Effectively the attitude in that thread is "here is my idea, it is right, I will not attempt to deal with responses in a sensible way". A suggestion thread where the OP refuses to deal with criticism of the suggestion should not be allowed to continue.

[Viktoria]

I'm afraid I'm going to vote for the 'no' option (even if the wording is somewhat ambiguous).

Though I agree that the idea of the 'magic blackjack' is a stupid one, I respect the right for all taffers to be allowed to express their opinions and argue their point, no matter how weak their arguments may be. Part of the fun (and, indeed, the "challenge") is to be able to shoot bad ideas down with a scorching-hot fire arrow, the power of intellect and words of pure wisdom and logic. :cool: :D
Abruptly halting discussion by closing a thread is a easy option and no challenge at all. ;)

[ToMegaTherion]

I don't think it's a matter of locking a thread because it has a silly idea, it's a matter of locking a thread because of the OPs subsequent behaviour in response to criticism. There is no point in a thread with a suggestion in if the OP refuses to discuss the suggestion!

I agree wholeheartedly with this.
Everyone has the right to express their own view no matter how warped.
As long as it doesn't go beyond the boundary's of reasonable behaviour, (which lots of us almost did)
But I will not vote, as I don't agree with the premise behind this poll

(Sorry Vae ;))

Edit: And I should have just walked away.

Esme pm'd me a very apt picture after the thread merge trouble last week

OP has discussed the situation in his own way, he just continues to be blinded by his own idealogy. Unfortunately... :(

If you are going to bring 'behaviour' up, is it not fair to remember to address that of others too? OP is not the only one. We should also remember that being 'stupid' and being 'rude' are two different things. :whistle:

Of course it is...but what if one hundred scorching fire arrows of truth does not bring the creature down? Then it is revealed that the creature can only be a troll, which is immune to the "power of the intellect and words of pure wisdom and logic. It's intentions are false, as it weaves a web of misery and frustration upon those with good spirit and resolve.

I say SEAL THE CAVE...:mad:

Haha, I say do what I originally suggested in the original thread, ie. ignore that which does not please you. ;)
This is a kinder and fairer approach. OP has not violated the rules, and it isn't an altogether 'off-topic/nothing to do with the game' kind of thread which would warrant justification for it being closed.

[cGREGgo]

Unfortunately, you guys are wrong, sorry viktoria, you to... :)

You guys, THIEF is a STEALTH GAME. Not a 3D SHOOTER!

nicely said:thumb::cool:

I wonder what he's thinks of when he reads this.
more importantly, what will he vote for?:p

My answer still remains no because of the same reasons viktoria mentioned.

[Viktoria]

Unfortunately, you guys are wrong, sorry viktoria, you to... :)

So, I take it you voted 'no'? :scratch: :D

see? now we have to close down this thread too because someone is trolling:rolleyes:


Silence the guy:cool: with a blackjack

--EDIT--
yup I voted "no", and I see "he" did too...

[cGREGgo]

So, I take it you voted 'no'? :scratch: :D

LOL... :rasp: You'll never know... :wave:

You need to learn what trolling means. Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean they're trolling.

MEANWHILE

Over time I see Thief has lost it's meaning. T3 spoiled you guys and turned itself into a fragfest. Now you can't live without it and it drives you nuts to even think of playing without your flashbombs...

[Viktoria]

Yes, Vae's idea to start this poll has only served to double our troubles. :rolleyes:

:D


LOL... :rasp: You'll never know... :wave:




The poll isn't private... so we do know. :p

[Pieter888]

LOL... :rasp: You'll never know... :wave:

...I did just confess my sins didn't I?:whistle:

Yes, Vae's idea to start this poll has only served to double our troubles.
I think this thread serves a purpose.
Finding out how men thinks about trolls and more importantly:
sending out the message that enough is enough.

[Namdrol]

You'll never know...

Sorry for the quality but it was a rush job and you can see who has voted where so far. :rolleyes:

[cGREGgo]

Like I said above...

Over time I see Thief has lost it's meaning. T3 spoiled you guys and turned itself into a fragfest. Now you can't live without your frags, you too have lost the meaning of "stealth". It drives you nuts to even think of playing without your flashbombs...

[Viktoria]

It drives you nuts to even think of playing without your flashbombs...

For the record, I never use flashbombs. You certainly don't have to use them to deal with the undead. :p

[Vae]

Haha, I say do what I originally suggested in the original thread, ie. ignore that which does not please you. ;)

It is not I who am concerned about, for I am protected from such despicable creatures. It is the new, unwary taffers which must be warned...to protect the good-willed taffer from the psychic attack that the beast hurls forth.

I played all three using nothing but water arrows and rarely using my blackjack, I think 90% of all others can say the same thing, you want every ncp "disabled" for some reason, while it's much stealthier to avoid any confrontation by trying to sneak past it.

Why am I even trying...:hmm:

[Viktoria]

I so deeply admire your good and kindly heart and the genuine concern you show for the novice taffer. Some flowers for you: :flowers: :)

Congratulations. This is exactly the point I'm trying to get across. :D

[Pieter888]

:cool:Thanks for pointing that out, gotta remember: don't feed the troll

PS: viktoria, don't waste your next post *hints to post count*

Exactly. :cool:

Haha, yes, see what you mean. Oh well, there's a dark side in all of us, huh?! :D

[ClashWho]

This would be a good idea if the troll would then be trapped inside it. Alas, this is not the case.

[Viktoria]

Congratulations. Another moment of true vision there. I rest my case. :D :thumb:

So, let me know when this thread should be locked. ;)

It is my sincere honor to protect the land and the good thief from such foul creatures...and for you milady, a gift as well...:flowers:

I love flowers as much as I love trees and leaves! :D
Thank you so much. :friends:

[cGREGgo]

Let me get this straight... since I disagree with you guys, I'm a troll...

BUT

You're not a troll for disagreeing with me? Kinda one-sided don't you think?

Like I said above... T3 have you guys spoiled, you need to learn to play a real stealth game.

[Viktoria]

I never once called you a troll. I'm totally innocent of this crime. :o

BUT seeing as this poll thread has given you further opportunity to express your disagreements, I merely suggested that this be locked. I'm just waiting for agreement from OP. I need this as the poll doesn't violate the rules and was posted in good humour to add a little fun on the forum. :)

On the contrary, T3 is my least favourite game of the series, I'll have you know. :rasp:

[Namdrol]

Hard not to get sucked in isn't it?
I started to write a post about how I've only played T3 three times etc etc etc and then pulled back and deleted.
It's just pointless.

Absolutely (emphasis mine). :thumb:

Just waiting for Vae to ask me to close this thread now. ;)
Then we only have the one thread to ignore... so much easier. :D


I know, I wasn't talking about you...

Yes, I know. I was just trying to add some more humour in here. :flowers:

[cGREGgo]

Guys... look at some of the other threads... Someone just suggested in a new thread...

"There could be modes that you could set on the "Difficulty Settings" page. Maybe "No Flashbombs" "No Gas Arrows" and so on."

You think I'm the only one who wants a stealth game? T3 isn't a stealth game. Now is this person trolling because they want the same thing? Something different than you guys?

It's time to get back to the roots of stealth and thief, not duke nuk'em...

Don't take this personal (I know, impossible for some of you). But you're not the only ones here, not everyone is going to agree with you. And just because they don't agree doesn't mean they are trolling, you can't be that new to forums, can you?

If you don't want the blackjack I'm talking about, don't equip it. You can't be soooo stupid that you don't understand that? Use your flashbombs & play quakestyle... the same old thing...

[Vae]

^ Away with thee, deceptive one!...:mad:

Good, now the beast has been driven from the cave and attempts to capture those in the open. It is much harder for him to succeed now with the light shining upon him...clarity of mind ensues...:)

[jtr7]

Ah. I see, this time it's been entertaining, not ban material. Too confusing.

[Viktoria]

Why the confusion? No rules have been broken, no reports received, afaik.
We're just having a little fun in the meantime. :p

[cGREGgo]

Hey, shouldn't you guys (and gals) have someone else to start calling a troll? There's someone in another thread suggesting get rid of your flashbombs & firearrows!

HURRY! :rasp:

Some people like the idea! OMG! TROLLS! :rasp:

Hi there! :wave:

[Viktoria]

Haha, I appreciate that you accept and join in with the fun. You're a good sport imo. :flowers:

[Vae]

^ Do not be fooled milady, for it is a trick...

[cGREGgo]

Haha, I appreciate that you accept and join in with the fun. You're a good sport imo. :flowers:

:nut:

You're still not off my shiznit list, but getting closer... hehe

:wave:

[Viktoria]

^ Do not be fooled milady, for it is a trick...

Judging from his reply, you could be right. How foolish of me to be taken in by the Trickster ways. I shall not be fooled twice. :mad:

:D

[Vae]

Careful milady, careful...

Of course it is...but what if one hundred scorching fire arrows of truth does not bring the creature down? Then it is revealed that the creature can only be a troll, which is immune to the "power of the intellect and words of pure wisdom and logic. It's intentions are false, as it weaves a web of misery and frustration upon those with good spirit and resolve.

I say SEAL THE CAVE...:mad:

This would be a good idea if the troll would then be trapped inside it. Alas, this is not the case.

Indeed, therein lies the question. Can the troll be confined to the cave? Perhaps the "Lady of the Vine" has such powers as to make it so...Milady?

[Viktoria]

I've already sent a warning, yes. :thumb:

May I close this poll now too. See it as 'step one'. ;)

[cGREGgo]

Indeed... :)

[erethizon]

This is kind of fun. cGREGgo keeps making posts, but rather than reply to them people are talking about him as if he is not there. We should keep this up and see how long he keeps at it (sadly I think someone will break down and reply to him before he gives up though).

[cGREGgo]

That's my story & I'm sticking to it... get over it... lol :nut:

Not me...;)

[kabatta]

Maybe this cave can be left to be seen so the troll would be stuck in it. Mental doors are so much more efficient.

[jtr7]

There is no spoon...



:D

Hey Look I found a picture of our troll...:)...he even has his Super BlackJack to knock out the undead...
