I don't get it.

Anyhow, if Nikov trolls as much as you guys say, perhaps he is afraid of competition?

He's easily the most Conservative user I've seen in GD.

*Ahem*

Nope, more Conservative than you.

Yep, recent post history comparisons are not even close. He's got you beat by a Fox News and a half on the conserva-meter.

It's much more comfortable to believe that someone is an intelligent individual saying/behaving in deliberately insane things/ways (preferably funny insane things/ways), than to believe that they're being serious. It also has the benefit of pissing off people who generally fall into the latter category, thus punishing their oversensitivity with stress, and wasting their time as they respond with violent flames of 12-year-oldness.

So long as the bad types of trolls (especially the ones who don't think they're trolling) are kept down, I don't give a a shit. Besides, pathos and grakelin's antics tend to be hilarious, it'd be sad to see them go.

Are you accusing me of being a troll, Sirrah?

I am accusing you of frequently pulling entertaining antics, which all but a select few grossly antisocial individuals find delightful, good sir.

None of you know Lupin. He's the only one on here who I've ever seen accuse people of being Socialist as a fallback insult.

Also, Nikov, it's probably because you're incredibly hostile and come across as a troll most of the time. It's like never smelling your own foot funk, only more annoying for other people.

Nikov's not a troll; as far as I can tell, he's generally sincere about what he believes. Not that I personally think he's the most productive person to argue with (the fact that he's banned from the IRC channel should serve as a testament to this), but he's not a troll.


Comon man, we're all bros here! Free love for everyone!



This is the kind of content-free tripe that doesn't belong here and isn't productive.

It's my understanding that "Various Nonsense" was done away with and the "Finally..." forums were instated for the purpose of making sure that people on the forums are actually talking about things instead of just running around acting like complete fools constantly. Seriously, that kind of shit makes me (and others) not want to post here.

The fact of the matter is that there's a relatively large proportion of the population here whose first instinct in a discussion is idle amusement as opposed to, well, discussion.

I don't think he is. I'm saying he comes off as one and it's difficult to tell the difference until you've read his posts for a while. And no matter whether or not he's a troll, he's extremely hostile, which isn't a good attitude to have if you want to stay on this site.

There's a fine line between making people angry on purpose, and making people angry by nature.

That's an extremely vague statement because there are a damn near infinite number of ways to "have a good time", and there's no place intended to serve all of them.

So, yeah, you're telling me absolutely nothing there, except maybe "I don't give a damn", which maybe isn't what you intend, but definitely isn't the right sort of attitude here.

I'm saying that I'm here for amusement. I don't expect to show up to Bay12 and get some sort of revelation about life from the community (although, sometimes Armok says something, and I do). We all need to chillax and not get angry, unless somebody posts really slowly to your board game thread and make the skill checks last forever.
