anyone noticed that Weeaboo posted the topic, and hasn't posted at all since?

[MagmaDeath]

Well, I did that in my first topic too.

[Tack]

My first post was a perfectly logical argument pointing out the merits of two-sword fighting.

If you follow them, they get more and more illogical and stupid over time.

[Rashilul]

That sounds a lot like something you would post.

Wait, wait, wait, did you say merits of two-sword fighting? I hope you're wiser by the experience.


EDIT:

If shields keep up their godlike blocking abilities, and weapons have bad ones, the game will continue being unbalanced.

Oh...oh geez...

[Tack]

That is so totally out of context.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Don't worry derails happen all the time.

[Boogerman]

Lol, 'sup Weaboo.

[Aqizzar]

I didn't quite know what to expect when I saw the title.  Pleasantly surprised.  Welcome new guy Weeaboo.

I wonder why we don't have more New Member threads?

(No, seriously.  There was an option on that poll for "Nobody", which ended way in the lead.  I've been waiting over a year to make that "second to nobody" joke)

I vaguely remember that thread, but I can't find it again.  Anyway, yes, I am the very definition of laissez faire, emphasis on the "lazy" pronunciation.  The "fair", less so.

Don't believe him? Look at the angry squint.

And everyone still argues that the Bay12Games Forum is one of the smarter forums on the internet.

[Jackrabbit]

Ah, but look at how legible our idiocy is!

[Tack]

And well thought out!

[Sensei]

Let's assume the logic that a 'normal' post or thread is 'sorta stupid', with no great ideas, no egregious typos, some wrong or poor and ideas and nothing absurdly insulting. It's the standard for the internet.

The normal internet browser discounts these.

In assessing the intellect of a forum, a browser notes unusual acts of maturity (people accepting that they're wrong is a big one), clever ideas, and exceptionally well written posts. They also see trolls, people with hopelessly flawed ideas who refuse to listen to arguments, spam, technically unnecessary noob hazing, and posts filled with DESU.

Thus, one naturally compares the population of the mid against the latter, whilst ignoring the former-most, garden-variety post. This looks very good for bay12. What they forget is the posts that are boring, meandering, and ultimately thesis-free, which is where the true stupidity is yielded.

tl;dr: People don't notice that which is stupid, but uninteresting, and here at B12 we don't make a shitcan out of it.

Other possibility: People are just shocked not to see trolls, people with hopelessly flawed ideas who refuse to listen to arguments, spam, technically unnecessary noob hazing, and posts filled with DESU around every corner.

[Jackrabbit]

There's another thing I'm terrible at. Vocalizing my feelings properly.

It's nice to see other people will do it for me.

Thank you Sensei.

[Tack]

That was actually a good summary. Nice one Sensei-chan.

Though I don't actually see the raeg in Desu~.

Maybe I wasn't around here when it was a super annoying meme?
