thanks, that filled me with joy, and leaves me eager to return to it

Started up my own recently.  Just text though.  I don't have the patience or skill for art.

Hm, I've begun neglecting my existing forum game already... I know I'll be way too busy to keep up another one soon, and yet, the temptation is there...

The "too big" argument is disingenuous from the outset. People gave up to that amount willingly out of their own pocket and it was much, much, much, much, much greater than the asked-for amount. Please cease and desist this logical inconsistency that several haters have picked up as a flagship piece of their argument against this project around the internet. There is absolutely no such thing as too big in this case, as literally everyone who donated was given the option of not doing so. People wanted this, and so it will be done.

Hrm... thats very interesting.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/219812386/mysteries-of-bosnian-pyramids-i-road-to-recognitio-0?ref=search Featuring 1 character, an AMAZING 3 levels with 3 sub levels for a total of 9! Weapons include knive sord chain gang and lazar!!! Fight dangrus beast like giant bug!! Collect energy balls To prevent End of Worrld. Save palnet be super heroe. Get Kill enemies like zombie and Gohst Brought to you by Bosnian famous arkaelogist Semir Sam Osmanaigh discoverer of famuz pyramid in Bosnia. They ar not hills but REAL pyramid buried under hill

Haha, amazing.  This HAS to be a troll.

On the last level you'll fight the most difficult enemy to defeat - giant bug! Your weapon to defeat this enemy is laser. But initail power of laser is weak. Laser gets enough power to kill when you collect all items.

Semir is real and he is a prominent (read: only) supporter of the Bosnian Pyramid theory. I can see him doing thus for attention.

e: I like how Serbia is "Seabia" on the map.

Judging from wiki, it looks like this Semir character is really, truly, that crazy. He says that his goal is to complete excavation of the pyramids and thus "break a cloud of negative energy, allowing the Earth to receive cosmic energy from the centre of the galaxy". Yeah. As I read the wiki, I thought he might just be hell-bent on making a big archaeological discovery for himself, but no... he's outright fucking nuts.

He's also not a native English speaker, which mostly explains the abominable grammar on his kickstarter. As for why on earth he didn't just hire a native English speaker to translate or at least proofread? Well, see point number one, individual is fucking nuts.

i'm not sure if that's directed at me or not, but i do not identify with the word hater, and feel that reply(if it is a reply to my posts) kind of misses my point. i am not opposed to this project at all, and as i stated before, i'm perfectly aware that this girl didn't ask for this much money, and even if she doest feel comfortable with so much funding there's not really much she can do about it. if anybody is at fault here, besides the bullies that harassed her, are the people who pledged so much just to spite the trolls, but i can't really blame these either because i myself felt an urge to contribute after witnessing the abuse she endured
i'm not using this as an argument against her or against her project, just stating how i feel about it.

The sad thing is that he lived in USA for years.

Oh, and he's crazier than you think. On one of the "pyramids" there's a genuine archaeological site, an early medieval settlement, and he's destroying it with his excavations.

1. That's insane.
2. He's still living in the US. According to Wikipedia he lives in Houston, where he owns a metalworking business.

i disagree with this. most people of any subset or subculture are unreasonable. percentages may vary, but i doubt that in any group reasonableness is prevalent
although i recognise and share many feminist views(being a militant of a leftist party whose core ideals revolve around feminism and lgbt rights), from personal experience i think i can assert safely that the amount of sexist feminists that claim all men are bastards and should be second class citizens to women is much higher than 1 percent of the movement. if i had to risk a guess i'd say 10 to 15 percent

Wow. I actually specifically said "1%" as a low guess, because I was afraid that even that would seem too large, and that people would falsely accuse me of being a right-wing anti-feminist type. But if a leftist feminist (who, no offense intended, will probably be subconsciously biased, and thus slightly apologetic) would guess 10-15% , then I'm scared of what the real number must be.

I think you undersestimate the number of left-wing douchebags who basically think "I'm pro choice and stuff, that means I can call anyone who wants more than that a crazy feminist bitch." See: Reddit, pretty much in its entirety.

[kaijyuu]

I'm pretty sure self righteous and hypocritical douchebags infest every political ideology.

[lordcooper]

Sine when was being 'pro-life' a left wing thing?  Since when wasn't feminism?

[kaijyuu]

I think that was a typo, and he meant pro-choice.

[penguinofhonor]

Yeah, oops. Pretty big difference there.

[lordcooper]

I also can't say I know any feminists who aren't pro-choice.  You seem to be mixing up your talking points a little.

[penguinofhonor]

I said "more than that", referring to anything feminists want that's beyond popularly accepted things like abortion rights. I don't know how you're getting pro-life feminists out of my post.
